Beechwold Chester
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Beechwold Chester (foaled 1906) was a stallion owned by the United States Army Remount for breeding purposes.
Beechwold Chester was an American Saddlebred descended from Denmark.[1] He was foaled in 1906 by Molly Nicoll, and sired by Happy Dare II.[1]
In adulthood, Beechwold Chester stood 16 hands (64 inches, 163 cm) tall and weighed 1,150 pounds.[2]
From 1913 to 1917 Beechwold Chester was posted to Leitchfield, Kentucky.[3] There, he earned a solid reputation as a sire and was featured in a number of articles in horse enthusiast publications.[1] He was attributed in one report as "perhaps the best type of Denmark in Kentucky" during the late 1910s.[4]
