BL Now or Never with her Prosuasion c**t, Duke, and Sunkist HA with her Khaja c**t, Jac. These girls are great moms and have some special boys!

Happy Mother’s Day to all human and horse moms! We love you! ❤️

Next, we will introduce the one who makes us laugh a lot - Let Me B Frank!

Frank is a 15 year old purebred Arabian gelding by Mamage and out of B Loved. This guy is kind of the life of the party. Frank is a decorated Park and English pleasure horse at the class A, regional, and national levels. Recently, he has started his career in Mounted Native Costume, and it looks like he is going to be in the winner’s circle even more.

An interesting fact about Frank is that he loves to give hugs! He is a big guy, but he will wrap his head and neck around you when you wrap your arms around his neck.

Frank is full of personality and is very gentle for his size. He is a great representative of the breed as he is definitely a family horse and would prefer to spend time doing anything with you than not being with you. Frank would also love to meet new friends, so we invite visitors to meet him in person!

05/10/2024

Let us introduce a barn favorite - Noble Bentley!

Benny is a 16 year old purebred Arabian gelding by IXL Noble Express+ and out of Butterfly Afire (Afire Bey V). He is a decorated western horse in the junior and amateur divisions at the class A, regional, and national levels.

Interestingly, Benny was bred to be an English horse, but he is as western as western can be! He is the sweetest boy and wins hearts at shows as well at various demos including 4-H/FFA presentations and the Midwest Horse Fair. Benny is also affectionately known as Button as he has a little button marking on his nose.

While he may not have followed in the footsteps of his ancestors division-wise, Benny is another great representation of the breed with his beauty, gentleness, and loving nature. He loves to meet people, so he would love for some visitors that can be his new friends!

05/09/2024

Let’s meet another patriarch of the farm - Enough+!

Nuffers is a 21 year old purebred Arabian gelding by Genuine+/ and out of Etevja. He is also decorated in the show ring with class A wins, regional titles, and national titles. He has show in western pleasure, hunter pleasure, country English pleasure, country pleasure driving, and sidesaddle. While he loves to show off, he has been enjoying being semi-retired the past few years. Nuffers still participated in breed demonstrations and has been selected as a liberty horse at the Midwest Horse Fair for several years. He has also been giving some lessons too!

An interesting fact about Nuffers is that he loves to work! Regardless of the discipline, he enjoys being with people and bringing joy. He is extremely personable and also knows that he is handsome. Peppermints are always welcome too!

Nuffers also demonstrates the athleticism, versatility, and beauty of the Arabian horse while being kind and loving. He would love to meet new friends, so we invite you to come visit him!

05/08/2024

In honor of Meet an Arabian Horse Month, we want to introduce one of our patriarchs - Razcal Flatts MN.

Razcal is a 16 year old purebred Arabian gelding sired by Zefyr+// and out of BEA Society Belle. He has been successful in the show ring in western pleasure, hunter pleasure, and sidesaddle. Razcal has also been an integral part of our summer camps and lesson program.

An interesting fact about Razcal is that he HATES nature. He does not enjoy being outside for long time periods, hates flies and other insects, and especially dislikes rain and snow. Razcal much prefers his stall which includes a personal fan during the summer months and his blankets during the winter months.

Razcal is a great representation of the Arabian breed with his beauty as well as his athleticism and kindness. He truly is a part of the family!

If you would like to meet him for yourself, we would love for you to visit! Contact us to meet Razcal and others!
