Dr. W.
W. Bartlett and Robert (Bob) Bartlett of Bartholme Farm, Brampton, Ontario
are being nominated for their contribution to the Hackney for their decision
to buy and stand the great Cassilis Debonaire as a breeding stallion. Dr.
Bartlett bred the multi-World Grand Champion Flamethrower (originally registered
as Bartholme Super Sharp). Dr. Bartlett also bred Bartholme King Command,
Bartholme Commando, Bartholme Debonaire and Bartholme Clown. The legacy of
Bartholme Farm continued with Dr. Bartlett’s son Bob and his wife Birgit
as they raised World Champions Heir Apparent, Northern Reflection and Debonaire’s
Moonraker. While standing Debonaire to the public, World Champions resulting
from the union include: Vindicator, Rag-A-Muffin’, Kilreen Debonaire Lady,
Heartland Supremacy, Rags To Riches, Rhymes and Reason, Mr. Amigo, and I’m
A Big Leaguer. The Bartholme Farm has made a significant contribution to
the Hackney breed. (Inducted February 2004)
