Over the last 50 years, we had the great fortune to breed and implement some of the greatest Arabian horses of the modern era.
We searched out breeders around the world that bred the kind of horses we liked and discussed breeding philosophies with breeders such as Ignacy Jaworowski in Poland, Jorgen Frederiksen in Sweden, Sasha Ponamarev in Russia, Dr. Eugene LaCroix and Sigi Siller in the U.S, Silvia Garde-Elhert in Germany and many others.
We agreed that the kind of horse we wanted to produce would be classic in Arabian type—it had to have a large eye, along with a lot of refinement with dryness. The horse needed to have a clean throat and be refined in the neck. A high tail carriage and the charismatic attitude of the Arabian combined with natural, powerful motion. A horse that had all of the iconic Arabian characteristics but was functional and had the structure and temperament to be useful riding horse.
Every generation needed to be an improvement on the generation before. As a breeder, you don’t make all your improvement in a generation, or three or four. While it might be easy to buy a horse with all the traits you desire, it is a much more monumental task to spend decades breeding the horse that you envision. And the quest for that vision never ends. You can only get closer and closer to the vision. We have been building our vision for over 50 years. And we are closer—but the next generation awaits.
