As a small-scale Arabian horse
breeder in Texas, it is my goal to produce quality, not
quantity. I will always put the best interests of my horses first and
foremost. That is why all of my horses are raised in a herd setting in
order to develop the social skills necessary to be well-rounded individuals in
their adult life. All of my horses are handled from the moment they hit the
ground and learn appropriate ground manners right away. They are all
handled using the natural horsemanship principles taught by Pat and Linda
Parelli in the Parelli Natural Horsemanship program. Using these
techniques, we are able to preserve the dignity and playful spirit of the horse,
while instilling in them respectfulness, confidence and desire to please and
seek out human companionship.
In choosing a stallion to breed my mares to, I look not only for
"type", but take heavily into account the disposition of the
stallion. The stallions I breed to must be calm, gentle and approachable,
as well as athletic and conformationally sound. Arabian horses by nature are
extremely intelligent creatures and, when handled appropriately in their
training, are usually well-minded and solid horses. I wish to dispel
the myth that all Arabian horses are crazy and hard to manage, as it is just
that---a myth. My breeding program consists of mainly Polish and Russian
Arabian bloodlines, making for a very substantial, athletic and
versatile horse, ready for whatever discipline interests you. We have
Sporthorse/Dressage, Endurance, Hunter/Jumper and Western Pleasure prospects for
those with competitive aspirations. For those that are looking for the
perfect equine pleasure mount or family horse, all of our horses would be
suitable for that situation and have excellent ground skills and are very gentle.

Tex
desperately wants a job and loves the water and visiting new places, does
best when he's working and knows what's expected of him. Needs a very experienced, confident
rider that can put lots of consistent time on him under saddle, as he is still very green and unconfident when it comes to the saddle. Can be cinchy, but settles
quickly with consistent warmup. He's had approximately 80-100
hours under saddle since he was started the summer of 2004.
Price: Asking $3000.
