GAZRAFF, national top ten stallion, recent winner
(April 15) of grand champion stallion award at Aiken
(S. C.) Horse Show. ' ' . /
Rimers Develop Show Place
For Arabian Horses in County
To call a horse a horse is
not always enough. There are
horses and Special Horses.
And as far as the Shelton
k Rjmer family is concerned,
Sazraff, a chestnut Arabian
stallion, is truly something
special.
Relative newcomers in the
field of Arabian horse breed
ing, Mr. and Mrs. Shelton
pimer of Bali Hai Ranch, Rt.
Laurens, have gathered a
top band of Arabian brood
lares in the phenomenally
short span of three years. As
mch of an achievement as
this is, getting the brood
pares is only half the battle.
The stallion always amounts
Jo 50 per cent of any breeding
program, and while Shelton
timer had three better than
Jverage stallions in his barn,
started looking for the best
Jrabian stallion he could find
t>r sale. He found this in Gaz-
teff, a bright copper colored
lorse that he had seen win
[class after class rn different
'horse shows around the coun-
tifo\ But the owner, Wayne
Hager, of Winter Haverr, Fla.,
also knew a good thing when
he saw it and didn’t want to
sell. After lengthy negotia
tions Hager finally consented
to sell the Rimers half-inter
est in Gazraff, and so the
stallion came to South Caro
lina.
With a value of $50,000 and
looking every bit of a million,
Gazraff seems a cihch to help
the Rimers put South Caro
lina and Laurens County on
the map as a major Arabian
producing state.
Arabian horses are not only
found at Bali Hai Ranch, but
scattered widely over the
state and the entire South
east. These horses, members
of the oldest equine breed,
ere khown for theft beauty,
stamina, docile nature and
versatility. Because of these
qualities, the Arabian can be
handled by amateurs with a
great deal of success. Many
people call the Arabian horse
the ideal family horse, an
opinion often borne out in
fact.
The Rimers firmly believe
this, and to prove it have
adopted the theory that the
more contact you have with
a horse, the more you both
benefit from it. A horse in the
house might he big news in
some homes, but at the Rim
ers it won’t raise an eyebrow.
This attitude is reflected in
the entire operation at Bali
Hai Ranch where you will see
care lavished on horses in a
manner almost unheard of.
• As- the Saying goes, “If you
want it done right, get a busy
man to do it”. The Southeast
ern Arabian Horse Associa
tion knows that this works,
for twice now they have se
lected Shelton Rimer to be
chairman of the association’s
Horse Management Course.
Known locally as oiie of the
area’s leading industrialists
and recently as a budding pol
itical figure, Rimer is espec
ially anxious that this Horse
Management Course benefit
area horsemen to the fullest
and that it reflects favorably
on the Clinton-Laurens area.
He has seen to this in select
ing a top, "nationally known
faculty for this event, to be
held this year on April 23 and
24.
Leading the list in this fac
ulty will be Tom and Rhita
McNair of Spring, Texas. Mc
Nair, as a trainer for the
Gleannloch Farms Stables,
travels upwards of 50,000
miles each year showing
horses. He does this success
fully, too, having twice shown
the stallion Surf to national
honors as the Amercian Horse
Shows Association’s Horse of
the Year. McNair, with his
wife, Rhita, will instruct the
classes in the training of the
young horse, re-schooling
spoiled horses, and showing
all types of horses.
Dr. Dan Orr on Clinton will
be on hand to lecture about
equine preventive medicine
and parasite control. Dr. Orr
is rapidly coming to the fore
as an equine expert, and is
currently in demand as a
speaker at horse courses of
this kind. The personable
veterinarian has also been
guest judge at the Dixie
Classic AU-Arabian Horse
Show in Columbia for the
past two years.
Leonard Crctts of Laurens
completes the staff. Crotts
was formerly manager of
Rimer’s Bali Hai Ranch and
is now engaged in black-
smithing. During the winter
months Crotts shoes race
horses at Greenwood and
Aiken and spends the sum-
mes as master of ceremonies
at horse shows all over the
east. He will instruct in the
proper methods of shoeing
horses and corrective shoe
ing.
The Horse, Management
course will begin at 8:00 a.
m. Saturday morning. Lunch
will be available on the
grounds and classes will re
sume about 1:00 p. m. A
night session with a special
film and lecture will be held
af the Mary Musgrove Hotel
in Clinton. Sunday will see
the same type of program
with emphasis for the day on
the more advanced aspects
of horse care.
Persons interested in at
tending this event should
contact Mr. Rimer at Rt. 1,
Box A-6, Laurens, or call
682-3625, Laurens.
