Princess Bellis, a Spanish-Norman mare, galloped into my life in July of 2001, moving my dreams into reality! The Spanish-Norman is a unique and magnificent sporthorse that combines the genetic information of the Andalusian from Spain and the Percheron of France, simulating the awesome and powerful war horses that shouldered their way across many medieval battlefields. Princess Bellis was born of Tribuno II, an Andalusian Foundation sire from British Columbia,Canada, and a Percheron mare on April 23rd,1998.  Princess Bellis ,or Daisy her barn name, has given me many gifts, including the fulfillment of my fashion fantasies! To honor her prescence in my life and here at Blackford Design here are a few images of my mare in her everyday life. Enjoy!
