Bar RB Belgians is an equine ranch located seven miles southeast of Birtle, Manitoba near the beautiful Birdtail Valley. The farm is owned and run by Robert Berry and family. The Berrys are actively involved in the breeding, raising, and showing of Belgian draft horses, and have been raising quality registered stock since 1981. The indoor facilities at Bar RB Belgians include 113 stalls, four box stalls, a wash bay and tank room and outdoor facilities include newly renovated corrals and turnout pens.
 The herd consists of approximately 120 Belgian horses. The Berrys participate in the NAERIC Draft Horse Classic, the Manitoba Pennwoods Draft Horse Futurity, the North Country Breeders Sale, the Colorado Draft Horse & Equipment Auction, and the Keystone Select Sale to name a few.
 As well, we exhibit at numerous shows during the summer months, the Canadian Western Agribition in Regina, SK in November, and the Royal Manitoba Winter Fair in Brandon, MB in March. Foaling season starts in May/June and foals are weaned in September.
 The farm was originally started by Robert's dad, Reg Berry in the early 1940s. The Berrys continue to strive for higher quality performance horses. Robert is currently a director on the NAERIC (North American Equine Rancher Information Council) board and has served on the MERA (Manitoba Equine Ranchers Association) board.  Children Marc, Rick and Robyn have all been, and continue to be very active in all aspects of the farming operation. Marc, a trained farrier, has returned to Birtle to work at Bar RB and lives in Birtle with his son Joe, and partner Michelle and her son Josh. Rick and his wife Tonya make their home in Denver and Rick plays professional hockey. They have two daughters - Natalie and Caroline. Robyn has completed high school and is furthering her education, currently living and working in the Maritimes. The Berry family competes in five to six draft shows each year.
