Arabian
Expressions
is an
internationally
renown
Marketing
and
Training
company.
We
specialize
in
Buying
&
selling
horses
in the
U.S.
and
around
the
Globe.
We
show
Arabian
horses
on
behalf
of
clients
from
around
the
world.
We
also
manage
stallions
and
care
for
broodmares.
We are
located
in the
heart
of the
Arabian
horse
mecca,
Scottsdale
Arizona.
Arabian
Expressions
grew
quietly
and
steadily,
and
eventually,
the
client
base
began
to
change.
Knowles
was
able
to
find
horses
for
his
own
clients
to
buy,
and
people
who
bought
from
him
also
wanted
him to
show
their
horses.
And
then
..."We
stumbled
across
a
horse
named
Magic
Dream,"
says
Knowles,
"and
that
gave
us
international
presence
and
notoriety.
He
just
took
off.
We
went
to
Scottsdale
with
his
first
seven
babies,
and
all
seven
of
them
were
Top
Ten.
We
turned
around
after
the
morning
session
and
there
were a
hundred
people
there,
waiting
to buy
breedings.
As
they
say,
the
rest
is
history."
The
exposure
that
came
with
standing
Magic
Dream
was a
boom
for
Arabian
Expressions.
People
from
around
the
globe
came
to see
the
striking,
black-bay
stallion
and
his
get,
and
Knowles
built
relationships
with
those
people
-
relationships
that
have
been
maintained
to
this
day.
This
is a
perfect
illustration
of one
of
Arabian
Expressions'
central
tenets
of
marketing
success
-
follow-up
and
the
maintenance
of
relationships.
Stagnation
is a
maleficent
force
for a
business,
and
Arabian
Expressions
has
avoided
it,
staying
vital
and
fresh.
A big
transition
for
the
farm
was
the
move
from
Washington
to
Arizona;
Knowles
says
that
it
helped
to
make
Arabian
Expressions
even
stronger.
Readiness
is
truly
tested
at the
U.S.
Nationals,
and
over
the
past
four
years,
Arabian
Expressions
has
not
only
passed
the
test -
they
have
all
but
re-written
it.
Not
one,
not
two,
not
three
- four
U.S.
National
Champion
Yearling
Fillies
in a
row.
It's a
feat
that
has
never
been
accomplished
in
Arabian
halter
competition
before.
Four
years,
four
horses,
four
different
sets
of
judges;
the
word
"extraordinary"
fails
to
adequately
describe
the
achievement.
How is
it
possible?
"I
think
you
could
say
it's a
testimonial
to our
commitment,"
says
Knowles.
"Our
commitment
to
excellence,
and
our
commitment
to
safely
take
care
of the
babies.
It's
also
our
ability
to
pick
them
and be
absolutely
honest
with
ourselves,
first
and
foremost."
In the
early
1980's
Arabian
type
was
redefined
by the
elegant
imported
Arabian
stallion,
*Padron.
A
fiery
chestnut
with a
beautiful
face.
High
tall
carriage
and an
entrance
that
stopped
shows.
*Padron
left
spectators
breathless
and
begging
for
more.
*Padron
got me
into
the
Arabian
horse
business"
says
Ted
Carson,
trainer
at
Butler
Farms.
"I
grew
up a
short
distance
from
where
he was
standing
about
twenty
years
ago.
AS I
grew
interested
in
Arabians
horses,
he
quickly
became
my
ideal-
my
fantasy
Arabians."
Little
wonder
then
that
Ted is
so
enthusiastic
about
*Padron's
young
look-alike
grandson,
ML
Mostly
Padron.
"It's
not
just
his
color,
markings
and
type
that
make
him so
much
like
his
grandsire,"
Ted
says.
"His
attitude,
carriage,
mannerisms
and
stunning
charisma
bring
back
sharp
memories
of
*Padron
being
named
National
Champion
Stallion
in
1982.
Did
you
know
that
mostly
Padron
was
Champion
at
Scottsdale
exactly
twenty
years
after
*Padron?"
Mostly
Padron
is a
double
*Padron
grandson.
Sired
by the
Reserve
US
National
Champion
Stallion
and
leading
halter
sire,
Padrons
Psyche.
Mostly
Padron
is
line-bred
to the
great
Russian
Arabians,
Arax
and
Aswan,
with a
tail
female
line
to the
incomparable
Mammona,
considered
by
many
to be
the
greatest
Russian
Arabian
mare
of all
time.
Mostly
Padron's
dam,
HL
Mostly,
was a
halter
champion
in her
day.
Like
Padrons
Psyche,
her
bloodlines
are a
smooth
blend
of
Russian
and
Crabbet
breeding,
featuring
extreme
type,
fluid
athletic
motion
and a
uniquely
dynamic
Arabian
charisma.
With
so
much
type
and
character
in
this
pedigree.
Mostly
Padron's
first
trips
to the
show
ring
were
bound
to be
spectacular.
And so
they
were.
As a
yearling
he
made
his
initial
appearance
at the
2002
Scottsdale
Show
where
he was
named
Junior
Champion.
He
went
on to
a Top
Ten at
the US
Nationals
Championships
in the
Yearling
Breeders
Sweepstakes
in the
fall.
That
winter,
Mostly
Padron
went
back
home
to
Butler
Farms
in
North
Carolina,
and
hasn't
set
hoof
in the
show
ring
since.
"We
believe
Mostly
Padron
is the
next
great
stallion
for
the
Arabian
Breed,"
says
Francis
Butler,
a
Mostly
Padron
Syndicate
member.
"So,
it's
been
very
important
to us
that
he
make
all of
the
right
moves
at the
right
times.
Our
plans
are to
reintroduce
him to
everyone
as a
four-year-old
in
2005,
at the
Scottsdale
Show
where
he
made
such
an
impression
as a
yearling.
His
first
foals,
due
this
spring,
will
be
able
to
attend
the
show
with
their
sire.
People
will
have
the
opportunity
to see
the
stallion
and
his
first
offspring
at
presentations
and in
the
show
ring."
Bred
to a
variety
of
mares
in
2003,
and
set to
be
bred
to
another
varied
group
of
beauties
in
2004.
Mostly
Padron
will
have
quite
an
opportunity
to
show
breeders
what
he can
do as
a
sire.
Crossed
with
some
of the
best
bloodlines
of the
day -
*Bask,
Falcon
BHF, *Psymadre,
*Khadraj
NA,
Mareekh
Amir
and
others,
Mostly
Padron
is
being
groomed
for
stardom
as a
sire,
as
well
as a
show
horse.
"Our
hope
is
that
he
will
be a
National
Champion
Stallion
and a
leading
sire
some
day."
Frances
admits.
"He's
an
original
entry
in the
Scottsdale
Signature
Stallion
program
as
well
as the
Minnesota
Medallion
Stallion.
We
have
carefully
bred
him to
a
cross
section
of
bloodlines,
including
Egyptian
and
Polish
mares.
We've
purchased
some
mares
especially
for
him ,
and
we've
worked
hard
to
bring
him
both
the
bloodlines
and
the
individuals
type
and
quality
necessary
to
compliment
his
strengths
and
character."
"I
think
he's
going
to be
the
next
great
juvenile
sire,"
says
Ted.
He's
15.1
hands
now
and
behaves
more
like
his
grandsire
everyday.
When
we
show
him to
visitors,
people
just
fall
in
love.
He
makes
converts
for
the
Arabian
horse,
just
like
*Padron
once
did.
Bringing
him to
Scottsdale
in
2005
is a
moment
I've
been
waiting
for
since
I
first
started
showing
Arabians.
Here's
a
horse
that
honestly
could
model
for
the
ideal
Arabian
horse,
an
Arabian
for
Europe,
for
the
Americans,
for
the
Middle
East
and
the
Pacific
Rim.
For
our
time
and
for
all
time
to
come."
Located in the beautiful
Santa Ynez Valley on the
central coast of
California, Crimson Farms
is the home of a number of
Champions, holding
National, Regional, and
Scottsdale titles in both
Halter and Performance.
Our lives with Arabian
horses started very
simply; with two horses
for trail riding, it was
hard to imagine back then
that we would one day find
ourselves in the Nationals
arena with our horses
wearing the roses. We have
gone from trail riding our
two boarded horses, to
having our own stallions,
a group of beautiful
mares, a number of
fabulous show horses and
breeding and selling some
wonderful offspring from
our breeding program.
Many things have changed
for us over the years, but
the one thing that hasn't
changed is the love we
have for the Arabian horse
and the enjoyment we get
from talking not only to
those that have been a
part of the Arabian horse
world for years, but to
those who are just
beginning to consider a
life that includes them.
No matter how you enjoy
your horses; be it trail
riding, showing, breeding,
or just watching them
grazing in the pasture
outside your home, we hope
that if you happen to find
yourself in the Santa Ynez
Valley during your
travels, you will make a
stop at Crimson Farms a
part of your experience.

DayDream Arabians
& Carol Steppe
When Carol Steppe
thought of taking her
great Fame VF+ son,
Showkayce+, and
"create her own farm...
she did this with a
figurative "book" of
visions. Some
refer to the vivid thought
of a passionate imagery as
"daydreams" and dispel
them as being
unachievable.
Carol Steppe, like
the "artist" that she is,
put those images to the
canvases and casting molds
of reality... now, so
obvious, in the lush
pastures of her Santa Ynez
Valley farm... DayDream
Arabians.
Pastures and stables full
of the World's most
beautiful equine
creatures... a living art
form that could only have
been the result of a
visionarys wonderful
"dream".
Her "visions" have become
more than just reality...
they have become a
template of success for
all of those who "dream"
of achievement within the
Arabian Horse community.
Setting a standard... for all small Breeders...
Fiscus Arabian Farm has focused their credible
knowledge on breeding their mares to a few select stallions each
year... with an emphasis on producing National & International
Champion quality foals. As founding members of the Fame
VF+Partnership...Patt & Dick
Fiscus were significant in the promotion & building of
this great Horse's legend. The Breeders of top producing Fame
VF+ daughters: Fame Fatale,
Cellofame & Aphrodite FA, theyhave continued to produce super-stars with the introduction of
three of the greatest of the Arabian Breed... Padrons
Psyche, Enzo and Marwan Al
Shaqab. In addition, the Fiscus have
introduced the brilliant DA Valentino into their
program for 2008 foals.
The strength in
the quality of mares bred by Fiscus Arabian Farm is
evident in many top breeding programs across the country & now
internationally. Only two years old, En Vogue FA
has just won her third Unanimous Regional Champion
title! The Arabian Stallions LC Psylent Knight
& Dakota FA were also bred by Fiscus
Arabian Farm. Force FA continues his
winning ways as a Western Pleasure horse. The Fiscus bred
Psynderella FA was recently sold,
internationally, to Sheik Mohammad Altawheedi.
In 2005, Fiscus Arabian Farm
bred their gorgeous, big & powerful Padrons Psyche
daughter, VH LeadingLady, to
International Champion *Marwan Al Shaqab
resulting in the highly anticipated unanimous Regional
Champion & contending National Champion Yearling Colt... Mariachi
FA.

Virginia "Pidge"Wood
Goldwood Farm Scottsdale, AZ

Many say that the
mare Little Liza Fame… is the most
acknowledged living matriarch within the Arabian Horse
Breed. Those who will contest this assertion might
bring up great claims of the virtues of other great
mares. Whether she is… or whether she is not, could
be the heated argument of many a student of Arabian
Horse genealogy and historical accountability. The
fact is… the greatness of a mare should be marked by the
impact of her truest purpose; her produce… whether it be
one foal or many. With this as the most legitimate
measurement… Little Liza Fame… could very
well be the most acclaimed living Arabian mare of her
day.
Virginia “Pidge” Wood is unique… as a person, as a
horseman and as a Breeder. She being the Lady with
the “golden” eye… the designer/decorator’s touch for
the finest of detail; always seeking the most lovely of
Arabian fillies.
Initially, upon her “finding” the Arabian Horse Breed,
Pidge Wood purchased her first National Futurity
Filly contender PS Bey Elation (Bey Shah x
VP Elation by Litigator). She went on to win both
the U.S. & Canadian National Futurity Championships the
following year.
Little
Liza Fame was her second National Champion
Halter Filly and later became the first Fame VF+
offspring to win high National honors by becoming U.S.
Reserve National Champion Western Pleasure Junior
Horse. She & Pidge had started something… that
would propel her sire to become the greatest sire of
Western Pleasure Horses in the history of the Arabian
Breed. And… as noted before… she would, years and a
half world later, give birth to a son who was capable of
bringing new life to the heart of an emotionally &
economically encumbered breed & industry. The colt
that would be known to the world, simply, as “Marwan”!
A colt that would stir up the soul & will of the Show
Ring and the hearts of Breeders worldwide. A colt who
was the son of royal parentage: the son of Little
Liza Fame.
The
Goldwood Farm’snext acquisition was… the
notorious “Black Mare”… NV Natasham.
She would fulfill the goal her owner sought as a
Breeder. The Black Mare would, again,
win National Champion honors for the “Futurity Queen”
and then open the door for Pidge to become an
internationally respected Breeder.
The direction
of Pidge Wood quickly turned from buying “stars”
to breeding Stars. NV Natasham, the
Black Mare, would be bred to the great Fame VF+
son, LBA LodeStar+++ and produce an
exquisite chestnut filly she would name GW
NatoriousStar. As irony would
portray… GW Natorious Star would be one of
the first North American Mares bred to that son of Little Liza Fame.
Star of Marwan… is now, writing the
next “important” verse to what any true
Breeder would acknowledge as a most beautiful
song. This late summer, Star Of
Marwan honored her breeder & owner by
becoming the 2007 Canadian National
Champion Futurity Filly.
BUT… the beauty of the song has one more
wonderful refrain! On a beautiful Indian
Summer day, in Albuquerque, NM, Star Of
Marwan entered the very same “stage”… the
stage on which her Sire & Grand-Sire’s “stars”
became the brightest. There, she contended
for the “holy grail” of Breeders: U.S.
National Champion Futurity Filly. One more
phenomenal song for Pidge Wood… theuncontestable “Futurity Queen”.
Star
Of Marwan… U.S. National Champion Futurity
Filly!

GREYMOOR FARM
is an unassuming private
Arabian horse farm with a not-so-secret
weapon—multi-National champion
First Cyte.
After
being crowned the 2000 U.S. National Champion
Stallion, and standing at stud with a trainer
for one year, First Cyte came home to Greymoor
Farm in 2002. "I was determined that First
Cyte would stand at stud at my farm," said
owner Donna Hentges. "I knew that I was taking
a risk, since I would then be the only one
promoting my stallion, but I believed that
after five years of being campaigned, First
Cyte had earned his 'retirement'. We created
a business plan, set up a breeding barn and
acquired the equipment and training necessary
to do the job."
Determined to keep the value and quality of
First Cyte foals high, Hentges wrote a careful
marketing plan that limited First Cyte’s
outside breedings. She also limited her own
foals, averaging only three a year, but using
mares she had thoughtfully acquired. "I have
exquisite mares, four of which are
aristocrats, and one has now produced two
National champions. I buy older, proven
producers. Treating arthritis and associated
problems is a daily ritual at my farm," laughs
Hentges.
And...
her plan is working. First Cyte has become
both a leading juvenile sire and a leading
Yearling Sweepstakes sire. In 2004 he sired
both National and International Champions. The
thirteenth First Cyte foal born at Greymoor
was 2004 U.S. National Champion Yearling Filly
Drama Qyeen. In addition, Greymoor bred foals
have won three Reserve National Championships,
and a "boatload" of National Top Tens and
Regional Championships. Sales are also brisk,
with an increased demand for First Cyte foals.
2008 marks the next step for the Greymoor
program, with the oldest First Cyte daughters
producing the second generation of Greymoor's
breeding program.
Greymoor
is proving every day that focused plans, big
dreams and total dedication result in great
success in both the breeding and showing
arenas. As Hentges is fond of saying, "bigger
does not mean better." This small operation is
producing world-class horses.
GREYMOOR
is only forty-five minutes from Twin
Cities International Airport. It is 65 acres
of lush rolling pastures and heavenly quiet,
that boasts a private lake with a resident
goose and egret population. Greymoor is a
private facility that is home to a handful of
carefully selected broodmares and First Cyte
foals.
We have
a small herd of hand-picked broodmares, all of
whom have their own show records. The majority
of our mares are Regional or Top Ten
Champions. Broodmares are kept together in
their own pastures. We are proud to be the
home of three Aristocrat Mares, Klassic,
(the dam of National Champions Drama Qyeen and
TF Queen Ahearts), LF Silkn Satin and
Silver and Sable. These beautiful old
mares rule the broodmare pastures and the
hearts of all at Greymoor.
We have
a main barn and indoor arena, a breeding barn
and laboraory and a separate hay barn. The
barns are all equipped with cameras and there
are separate cameras in each foaling stall.
Barns are heated, have ceiling fans and the
main barn is air-conditioned. The barns are
designed to facilitate ease of operation and
to provide the animals with the best
environment possible. First Cyte is stabled in
the same barn as the broodmares. His stall
shares a barred wall with a youngster who is
his buddy. He enjoys daily turnout in his
private pasture, which allows him to keep an
eye on his "girls" (from a safe distance).
When stabled, he enjoys watching the barn
activity around him. He is cared for daily by
his personal slaves Lindsey Cornelius and
Donna Hentges.
We
welcome visitors to Greymoor and are always
happy to present First Cyte, or take our
guests for a stroll in the pastures to meet
some of the First Cyte foals.

Our goal as Arabian horse owners is to breed and
perpetuate the finest, true to type Arabian horses for
the showring, breeding shed and for pleasure. I am proud
to own a very small collection of Arabian horses who's
pedigree's represent generations of International
success in the show ring and breeding shed. It is
extremely important to me to be able to support the
Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation in memory of my mom,
Suzanne Davidson, the women who taught me values, love
and friendships, the one who instilled in me the love of
the Arabian horse and the reason The Arabian Element came
to be.

Through my life I have always been fascinated
by the animal kingdom. As a small boy I
dreamed of owning a horse. My father also
possessed some of these same passions.
Dad always taught us to appreciate any quality
animal of any species or breed. Consequently
my passion was more about a great horse than a
specific breed. I developed a love for
Shetland ponies, to Appaloosas, to Quarter
horses, Belgians as well as Arabs. From time
to time, we would visit the Burton Arabians
farm to see Gazon or Ross Arabians to see
Sinbad and Ambassador. Many great people also
contributed to the development of this
passion.
Princess, my first Quarter horse mare,
produced a half Arab buckskin gelding who
later broke my jaw in three places, plus a
broken arm and back injuries. Despite these
minor set backs, my passion didn't wane.
Because of Duke I met the Mac Millan family,
Pam became my first riding instructor. From
them I would acquire Regional performance
winner Lamata an Appaloosa mare. The John Mold
family, turkey growers for my father, also
raised Shetland ponies. Through them I
acquired International Champion Grand Bette
and o course Old Rosie. My first pony who
lived to be 33. Our two oldest children, Daria
and Moriah, also learned to ride on her.
My Arabian dream was realized
when I acquired Don Johnson's herd, headed by
Stallion Gavad. Gavad (Gazon and Vadraff) was
full brother to National Champion Raffon. This
acquisition also put me into relationships
with other Arab owners. The most significant
was my relationship with Hermann Blaser.
Hermann and I formed an unwritten partnership
and alliance. Together we have created horses
recognized around the world - Regional and
National winners in both halters and
performance. LH Garcia, Estoria, Ibn Garcia,
Sirnita, and Simply Irresistible to name a
few. Today we own a unique band of brood
mares. Quality, not quantity, is our ideal.
The horse has also been key to the development
of the Jerome kids in our household. All have
ridden, and our daughters have become
excellent riders and competitors. From open
shows, through out their 4-H careers, to the
Arab circuit, their presence was known. Our
granddaughter Arrya also possesses this same
"horse craziness".
The chapters of this adventure continue, as
the excitement is still there after 50 years.
Kharousel Farm came
into being like most Arabian horse
farms because of the love of these
beautiful and amazing horses. Betty
Chapman-Radtke loved Arabian horses
from earliest childhood and bred her
first Half Arabian when she was 12
years old, breeding her grade mare
to an Arabian stallion. That was
likely the impetus for the founding
of Kharousel Farm many years later.
The senior stallion
at Kharousel Farm is the beautiful
and talented GS Khochise+++// (Khemosabi++++//
x Beau Cherie x Comar Bay Beau) who
was foaled in 1981 and at this
writing remains sound healthy and
fertile. He had a truly remarkable
show career winning 38 national
awards including 5 National
Championships, 7 Reserve National
Championships and 26 National Top
Tens in Western Pleasure, Halter,
Trail, Hunter Pleasure, Western
Sidesaddle and English Sidesaddle.
Khochise also sired a large number
of National, Regional, and Class A
Champions in all of those divisions
plus Show Hack and Sport Horse
events. Kharousel Farm has retained
some of his daughters for breeding.
NYN Hisani was the
culmination of a two year search to
find the best possible colt to take
the next step in the Kharousel Farm
program. On Feb. 1st, 2005, Betty
stood in the stallion barn at
Michael Byatt Arabians looking at
the yearling colt NYN Hisani and
knew she had found the perfect
horse. Betty's husband Ed Radtke agreed
with her choice and the deal was
struck. Michael was extremely
supportive of Hisani and was the
driving force behind his show career
as a yearling. Michael showed him
to a Top Ten at Scottsdale that same
month. In July, Hisani and Michael
took the Yearling Sweepstakes
Championship at Region 5 and in
October they were 3rd on the cards
at US Nationals placing 1st, 2nd and
5th. Many thanks to Michael.
In 2007 the first
foals arrived - a small group of
eight but with super stars already
evident. Several client foals are
available for purchase.
In June, 2007,
Hisani made the trip to Shada in
Minnesota. Jeff and Jerry and the
entire Shada team stepped in to take
him on his adventures as a Futurity
Colt. Jeff and Hisani formed a
great team that brought home a
Canadian National Championship and a
US Reserve National Championship.
So much excitement and so much fun!
The Radtke's look forward to future
plans with Jeff in Stallion Halter
and hope to see him lead Hisani
foals into the ring.
Kharousel Farm is a
small family farm. Betty is not
only 1/2 owner but is the Breeding
Manager, Office Manager, part-time
amateur trainer and the voice on the
telephone when clients call.
Kharousel Farm has not only
produced, owned and shown a number
of national winning horses, but has
been a very active breeding farm
since 1992. Everyone "goes the
extra mile" for clients and makes it
an exciting and positive experience
for people new to the breeding of
horses.
Betty's comment on
all this? "When your life and your
competitive spirit has been enriched
and rewarded to the extent mine has
been through the partnership with a
horse like Khochise, you just don't
think things could reach that level
again. We treasure our grand old
man and look forward to the future
with pure amazement over the thrill
of having Hisani in our lives. Yes,
lightening can strick twice.
Believe it!!!!"
The sign along the rural Georgia
road translated to English reads: “The Horse Farm”.
Simply stated… until you understand
the significant involvement of it’s
owner.
Owner Nicole Mesik grew up within
the Arabian Horse community. But,
as with many, her participation
would veer to other interests, only,
to come full circle in the year
2002.
“We're really pretty
modest, as this is our first
"farm" and stepping stone for
greater aspirations. It's my
test bed for the "show me how you
can succeed". Ten acres in rural
Morgan County, Georgia; one horse
barn, only; three
pastures, and another one waiting to
be seeded.”
With a renewed and dedicated
interest, Nicole acquired the
beautiful & charismatic Fame
VF+ son Audacious
PS from the Audacious
Partners in 2006.
“My goals are to find the
perfect combination of halter
quality pretty and graceful power.
So many of the Arabian Horses are
exceptional halter horses, but have
no movement, no charisma- the things
that intrigue you when you see a
group of horses running across the
field. Audacious PS
is such a perfect candidate to lead
the “mission”. His foals have
the dynamic attitude, the graceful
movement and the complete presence
and tail carriage that so
dramatically expresses that "show
me" outlook on life. The more
foals I see in person, the more I am
convinced that he is a key piece to
the puzzle.”
The Midwest Training Centre logo… is an iconic image
within the breadth of the world-wide Arabian Horse community.
Unsurpassed as the leading edge in both the Show Ring and Market
of the world… it has transcended the boundaries of national
culture and diversity… uniting the international Arabian Horse
“family” regardless of where their lines of latitude & longitude
cross.
A concept of business suggests that enduring success is an
indication of a business’ ability to readily adapt to positive
industry trends. But, maximum success can only be reached and
sustained through the innovative authorship of industry adopted
trends.
Midwest Training Centre… has established itself as a “grand
innovator”. Statistically… it’s success in the rings of
competition and economics… are without equal.

McDonald &
Arabians represents a bright spot in the Arabian
Horse industry that brings together passion, family,
Arabian horses, and success. Halter trainer,
Gary McDonald is one of those fortunate professionals
who has turned a lifelong love into his vocation,
and while the championships come in abundance,
Gary will tell you that "accomplishments become
quickly outdated." The emphasis at his facility is
on the thrill of competition, win or lose, and the
joy it brings the people involved with the
beautiful horses.
With no more
than forty horses in the training barn at one time,
the McDonald Arabian show string competes in Regions
One,Three,Four, Seven, and Eight along with Scottsdale,
Nationals, and the Egyptian Event. "In the last
three years I have been able to show some fantastic
horses at the Egyptian Event and make some good
friends in the Egyptian Arabian community. This is a
new avenue for us that we are really excited about."
With the focus on training, marketing, and breeding
the finest halter horses with the amateur owner and
handler in mind, Gary has found success creating
champions in the open division whom their owners can
turn around and show in amateur competition
Pogonip Arabians located inReno, NV is the fulfillment of a dream that began as a child. Having loved horses all my life, getting my first horse when I was 5 years old. I grew up with the dream of having my very own horse ranch. Well, we aren’t exactly a “ranch”, but the dream of owning and producing beautiful horses has become a reality.
We are small breeders, with six wonderful mares. Our Palissandre daughter out of Indianne Summer, a beautiful Fame VF daughter who was a TOP TEN U.S. Futurity filly, has produced outstanding foals sired by First Cyte, Psymadre and TF Psymreekhe. We are very excited by the 2008 Star Ghazal foal out of Msytimadre VF, a Psymadre daughter out of the Brazilian National Champion Mare, Apollonia HCF. Msytimadre VF, a Canadian National Top Ten Hunter Pleasure mare, is a full sibling to the multi National Champion gelding, Apostle VF. We are very fortunate to have another Psymadre daughter out of a Bey Shah daughter, a beautiful trotting Concensus daughter, a Padrons Payche daughter out of a Bey Shah daughter and lastly a half arab daughter by the FAME VF grandson, WL Intruder+//.
As small breeders, producing one or two foals a year, every decision regarding breeding is thoughtfully planned for each mare. Most of our mares take turns in the show ring when not in foal. It is most important that we know the disposition and performance ability of our mares, as we want our foals to be capable of showing at halter and performance.
It is our goal to produce a high quality foal that anyone can enjoy at home, riding through the hills or in the show ring. It is most important that our horses be people horses, ones to live with and love forever.
Please contact us at any time as we would love to “talk” horses with you. Check our website for updates on our mares and foals.
R.O. Lervick Arabians is located in
the Stillaguamish Valley about an hour's drive north of
Seattle. The Arabian horse farm sits on 30 acres and
features a main 50-stall barn with a 70' x 160' covered
arena, three heated wash racks, four "ready" rooms, two
heated drying rooms, and two tack rooms. Upstairs in
the main barn are three offices, an apartment,
restrooms, and a comfortably furnished viewing room that
overlooks the indoor arena.
Surrounding the main barn are several pastures and
paddocks lined with white board fence. A 12-stall mare
and foal barn includes sophisticated breeding facilities
and laboratory. Also on the premises is a 90' x 200'
outdoor arena, covered bull pen and hot walker, a
10-stall overflow barn, a 60' x 80' hay storage barn,
and two mobile homes for 24-hour staff.
Farm owners Roger and Linda Lervick are natives of
Stanwood, Washington. Roger Lervick is Chairman and CEO
of Stanwood's family owned business, Twin City Foods,
Inc., the largest independent frozen vegetable processor
in the world. The Lervicks first fell in love with
Arabian horses when Grandpa Arne Lervick purchased a
gelding for their daughter, Tammy, in 1973. Over 30
years later, R.O. Lervick Arabians is 100+ horses strong
and a well respected name in the Arabian horse industry.
The next generation of the Lervick family made their
show ring debut during 1998. Cheryl Lervick, daughter
of Steve and Wendy Lervick, entered lead line
competition at Region V with Grandpa Roger Lervick on
the lead. More years of family fun are on the way!
R.O. Lervick Arabians is usually home to 90 to 100+
horses. The star of the farm is
Cytosk+++, the Lervick's chestnut Arabian stallion.
His show record includes U.S. National Reserve Champion
English Pleasure, and he is a four- time national top
ten winner in halter, pleasure driving, and informal
combination. Cytosk+++ has earned his Legion of Supreme
Merit Award (indicated by the three pluses after his
name) from the International Arabian Horse Association
for his show ring achievements in halter and
performance. He has sired numerous regional and
national champions.
Out Of Cyte, a gorgeous 1992 black son of Cytosk+++
out of a double *Serafix mare, also stands at the farm.
He has already sired regional and national champions.
The Lervicks also own several show horses and a
reputable broodmare band.
Manager/Trainer Dennis Wigren has a long list of
national show ring credentials in Halter, English,
Western, and Driving. He also enjoys assisting amateurs
to reach their show ring aspirations. The farm staff
consists of nine full-time employees including Breeding
Manager Tague Johnson and Office Manager Julie Jones.
The farm's goals are to manage a training and breeding
program that is recognized nationally for quality halter
and performance horses and gain the respect of its
clients and industry through professionalism and
integrity. The farm is open to the public.
The most successful collaborations are those which allow
each contributor to throw his own choicest ingredients
into the mix. Rojo Arabians, in Port Orange, Florida,
operates with that principle in mind. Rojo's partners,
Dr. Robert Williams and John Brown, each have clear-cut
roles in the farm's operation, yet the mysterious
alchemy of their interaction has enabled them to
accomplish their own brand of magic.
Their accomplishments in the Arabian horse business are
all the more impressive considering that Robert Williams
and John Brown had no background in horses and their
partnership came about almost by accident.
"In 1982 I bought a home in Port Orange which had large
pastures," recalls Dr. Williams, "so I decided to get a
couple of calves, Through that, I met a feed man, and he
had two horses for sale. So I bought them, too."
John Brown was a college student at the time, whose
summer job was to help Dr. Williams move into his new
digs. John remembers making the casual observation on
day that "a couple of horses sure would look great in
that big pasture." What John probably didn't realize was
that he had just uttered an incantation that has made
many a horse farm suddenly spring to life.
"Not long after I mentioned the horses," John recalls,
"a guy pulled up with a trailer and unloaded a purebred
Arabian mare. Then he started unloading buckets, feed,
hay, brushes, halters, and hoof picks - and a lot of
other stuff I couldn't recognize, let alone name. I
said, 'What's all this?' and he started to tell me,
'Well, you do this with this and that with that.' I
thought, 'Uh-oh, what did I get myself into?"
Thus began Rojo’s involvement with the incomparable
Arabian breed, and their many, ongoing successes soon
began to follow......and the rest, as we say, is
HISTORY!
Visit the Rojo Arabian website for rest of the story.
A family’s success story built on dedication and belief
in one another, an understanding that we are entrusted
with the world's greatest breed, by the breed’s most
avid enthusiasts. A humble heart grateful for all we
have been blessed with!

Odyssey SC won the 2000 Scottsdale Junior Colt
Championship as a yearling, then the 2002 Canadian and
U.S. National Futurity Colt Championships. For handler
Jerry Schall of Shada, Inc., it was no surprise. “This
is a horse that doesn’t even have to show. He’s
a horse that can just stand there,” he says.
As Jerry recalls, a call from Rick Moser started the
ball rolling. Rick invited Jerry to Rojo Arabians to be
the first to see the new colt by Versace and out of
Latoura Echo (by Echo Magnifficoo). And a star was
discovered. So from Florida to Shada in Elk River,
Minn., then to Arizona for the winter went the new baby.
While in the beginning, Jerry just had an inkling he had
a star on his hands, as Odyssey grew, he became
convinced he not only had a star, but a superstar. “The
way this horse presents himself is incredible,” says
Jerry. “He looks ready to take on the world, sort of the
Arnold Schwarzenegger of horses. He has a very long neck
and naturally sees the world from very high up. He
creates this image of excellence, and I get to see it
everyday.”
Odyssey had to earn accolades like that from a trainer
who has handled his share of national
champions. According to Jerry, what sets Odyssey apart
is that he is always spectacular. “There was a gentleman
at Scottsdale who came to visit the farm every single
day to see Odyssey. He had seen the horse in the
arena and thought it had just been one moment of
greatness. So I presented Odyssey to him every day for a
week and every single day he was phenomenal. At the end
of the week, he bought a breeding.”
According to Keith Novick, Odyssey’s former owner,
Odyssey’s star quality goes beyond just the good looks
that include a long hip, high tail set, hooky neck and
four legs that are straight in the corners. He is also a
star when it comes to his manners. “He is like a puppy
dog in his stall. He’s sweet and intelligent and he
loves people.” Even more important than Odyssey’s good
looks and manners are his work ethics. According to
Jerry, the horse consistently gives 110% and tries very
hard to please. He saw it with Odyssey when training him
for halter and is now seeing it as he trains him for the
performance divisions.
The team started Odyssey under saddle just after U.S.
Nationals and after a mere 10 rides, Keith was able to
get on board. Of his inaugural ride on Odyssey, Keith
recalls, “I’ve never ridden a horse that was so willing
to go forward and who had such a steadiness about him at
30 days under saddle. He is a dream to ride.” Jerry
shares his enthusiasm for
Odyssey’s progress under saddle. “Not only was Odyssey
responding well enough after just 10 sessions for Keith
to ride him, but he was actually moving well and picking
up correct leads going both directions,” he says. “This
is a horse that has it all.” “I’ve never seen a
relationship between horse and trainer like the
one between Jerry and Odyssey,” says Keith. “He is the
only one who has ever worked with the horse and I hope
he is the only one who ever will. We are both committed
to this horse, to promoting him and to watching his
babies do well.” Odyssey is busy producing offspring
that carry on the gifts bestowed upon him from some of
the famous names in his family tree — names like Versace
and Echo Magnifficoo. “Odyssey is like you took both
those stallions (Versace and Echo Magnifficoo) and
molded them into one,” says Jerry.
“He got the incredible looks, size and substance of Echo
and the kindness and beauty of Versace. We got the best
of both of those horses."

"Arabians are
living art. I love the small head, the big nostrils, the
shape of their necks...their charisma, their
carriage--it's like none other, " says Manny Vierra. As
a breeder of Arabians for nearly 23 years, Vierra has
built a farm and breeding program of National winners
including such individuals as SFA Wind Chime, and
Oksanadik. With a strong collection of show winners at
home, Manny has also ventured into the Arabian market
abroad with his lease of international winner, *El
Dorada. "She's the finest mare I've ever had the
privilege to include in my breeding program, " says
Manny. *El Dorada has contributed three outstanding
foals to the Vierra program, as well as a Unanimous
National Win. Vierra has also supported the import of
two other signifigant stallions into his breeding
program, with the purchase of *Honorrs and the
partnership lease of *Al Maram. *Honorrs came to the
United States from Holland in 2006, and spent the 2007
show season competing on the U.S. show circuit acquiring
various titles at the Regional Level, World Cup-Las
Vegas and U.S. Nationals. With *Honorrs success in the
States, Vierra also moved to lease and import the
stallion *Al Maram in partnership with Furioso Farms,
aiding in the Valley Oak goal of creating a breeding
program with a unique combination of domestic and
international bloodlines.
Most
recently, Valley Oak has built a new state-of-the-art
barn to complete their 20-acre farm in Brentwood. The
European-style barn was designed using Italian meseta
stone and is equipped with 35 custom powder-coated
stalls made from Brazilian walnut, 20-foot aisles, and a
2,000 square-foot reception area for guests. The barn
also has a full security and fire system including
12-infared cameras that allow for the barn to be
monitored from all internet accessible computers
anywhere around the world. The only thing that compares
to the beauty of the barn is the beauty and quality of
the horses that reside in it and call Valley Oak home.
The Vierra's encourage all inquiries about their farm,
their history, sales horses, stallions, and/or upcoming
horse shows. Please do not hesitate to contact them with
any questions about their involvement in the Arabian
breed--it is one of the most valued parts of their lives
and they are anxious to share it with you.
Varian Arabians is a very
special place. It is a place where many of
the most beautiful and talented Arabian horses

I have been fortunate enough to have my life’s
passion for Arabian horses become a successful

goal to breed towards my ideal horse. For the
past 51 years I have bred equally for Arabian
type, performance qualities, disposition and
trainability. With these goals in mind Varian
Arabians has enjoyed a rich history and 51

insurance companies in the world, featuring coverages for special

The business of horses
is as unique as its friendships. All the representatives of Jarvis
Insurance are horse people, often riding and showing their own
horses. It's the kind of hands-on involvement that gives us
working knowledge of what is really important to horseman. It's a
point of personal pride for us since 1946. Christina Rousseau has
been in the Insurance Industry for over 15 years as well as being
a life long, passionate horse owner & showman of various breeds of
horses since birth....literally! She has been fortunate to gain
valuable hands on experience & knowledge from some of the top
trainers in the country. Christina is also a credentialed horse
show judge who has judged on the National level.
It takes a horseman to
understand. Call Christina to review your current coverage or to
evaluate your insurance needs today!
I
have been taking pictures professionally, and throughout
the world for all my adult life. The recognition of my
talent on an international scale has been primarily
through my imagery of horses. I grew up in the horse
industry and photographing horses provided me the
opportunity to pursue my passion of creating images and
touching feelings which I endeavor to do with
photography and videography.
As
an inexperienced young man trying to figure out how to
make a living at something I loved, I had no idea that
36 years later I would still be doing it. I am one of
those very fortunate people doing something they truly
enjoy,as a profession, for a career.
While horses have been the primary focus of my
compositional eye, they are by no means the only subject
which interests me. Nor are they the only subject for
which clients seek out my professional talents. I have a
diverse and respected client base of businesses,
governments, and people throughout the world for both
photography and video work.
My
goal for the images shared on this site is to showcase
those talents and share a view of the world I have seen
and experienced.

Morgan, National Show Horse, and Miniature
Horse magazines, as well as many significant
international magazines.
