Our Story

Nestled At the Foot of Elephant Rock in Monument Colorado

20 Years ago and after 6 years as a professional Ferrier, I acquired two beautiful Polish/Egyptian mares and as the Ferrier for a well known and accomplished Dressage rider and Instructor I became the Ferrier for the elegant young Trakehner Stallion IBSEN.

I was in awe of his nature, talent and beauty and bred my Arabian Mares to him for the first time.   The offspring was exceptional and I was hooked.  Although I also bred these first mares to Arabian Stallions, the quality and consistency did not compare to the cross breds as Performance Sport Horses, which was my interest.

10 Years passed quickly and 3 horses turned into a small herd, I became interested in Endurance Competition, and was introduced thru my ride partner to a love of the ASIL (pure desert bred) Arabian.  The classic horses had it all, beauty, intelligence and stamina and consistency in the breeding barn.  In the course of finding that exceptional Asil breeding stallion for my mares, I found an entire herd of exquisite horses without club feet, with excellent conformation, and years of a breeding program that produced consistently without the major conformational faults that we were seeing in the Arabian Halter Show Ring.

I bought young stock, stallions and mares and waited for them to grow up.  With guidance from the original breeders and careful consideration of my own goals I selected the crosses, bred and watched the offspring develop.  The Asil mares are bred only to Asil Stallions.  The stallions, and one in particular (Serenity Ibcar), when bred to Warm blood mares, has proven to produce that same excellence in cross breds that we found with IBSEN on Domestic Arabian mares.  These offspring are now showing.

The horse industry is a tough teacher and not always profitable if your goals do not match the current fashion.  I have had many lessons along the way, but have been able to be true to my original goals to produce exceptional Sport Horses and preserve the Asil blood lines.

By reducing the herd and concentrating on particular blood lines I hope to return to the enjoyment of Endurance competition.

Ibsen passed away the spring of 2007and we miss him but he had a great life and will continue to provide us with beautiful offspring through his frozen semen to select mares only.
