Love this ..
Memories establish the past,
Senses perceive the present,
Imaginations shape the future.

There are so many incredible reasons to be happy …
Wishing all my fabulous friends and family a happy
and blessed Easter.
"I think of the garden after the rain;
And hope to my heart comes singing,
At morn the cherry-blooms will be white,
And the Easter bells be ringing!"

A wonderful poem from the Blog …
THEY TEMPT US ALL – MY BEAUTIFUL – MY ARAB STEED!
by CARMEL on NOVEMBER 26, 2013
https://carmelrowley.com.au/blog/?p=5524
If you’re fortunate enough to own or breed Arabian horses you quickly learn why so much is written about the great love the Arab had for their horse. I adore poetic words along with the words of wisdom written by people who were often first-hand witnesses to the Arabian horse in its desert environment. What could be nicer than to share the words of one of the most touching and tragic poem written by Caroline Norton …

The White Horse
by D.H. Lawrence

The youth walks up to the white horse, to put its halter on
and the horse looks at him in silence.
They are so silent, they are in another world.

Let's go back to around 1979. Carmel riding Bremervale Tartuffe (Oxford Decimus x Bremervale Zendi)
Purchased as a foal December 1975 - in those days you had to say yes or no from a photograph. We had visited Bremervale that year on a working holiday around Australia and viewed all those super early horses. If we didn't take him there was already others ready to snap him up!
I love the quote BUT this situation happened yet again with another life changing c**t foal - Simeon Stav (*Asfour x Simeon Safanad) in September 1987!

May 2024 be a chapter of joy, a verse of success, and a tale of prosperity.
HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL OUR FRIENDS AND FAMILY 💖

It's been a pleasure sharing this year with you all. Sending all my Facebook friends and my family a happy and healthy Christmas. Let's aim for a New Year full of love and happiness. ❤

Learning from the past

Photographs: The influential SANKT GEORG (US) bred by Richard G Pritzlaff (Not only an important individual for the Pearsons View breeding program but Australia in general)
Bint Moniet El Nefous (Nazeer x Moniet El Nefous) Imported as a yearling, she produced 13 foals at Rancho San Ignacio from 1962 to 1976
Is it possible to be involved with something you love and not learn from the past? It seems it is. I found these words written by Richard Pritzlaff of Rancho San Ignacio 28 years ago… They still resonate as if they were written yesterday…
High in the Sangre de Cristo Mountains of north-eastern New Mexico, Richard Pritzlaff lived on his centuries-old ranch. For fifty years he bred his beloved Arabian horse’s amidst a backdrop of extraordinary beauty and serenity.
Richard Pritzlaff writes “…I have my own ideas about horses. Some of them are controversial, I’m sure, but here they are ... Read on at the Blog https://carmelrowley.com.au/blog/?p=2001

Special Moments
It’s said that we don’t remember days; we remember moments, a painting, a new car, a puppy or even a house.
What about the thrilling moment when you said ‘yes’ to the purchase a special horse?
One very special horse has to be Simeon Stav dec. (Asfour x Simeon Safanad)
For us there were several moments associated with horses that managed to actually change our life?

I keep reading how taking chances is one of the most crucial ways to further one's skills and gain experience.
These days I can't imagine my life where everything had been the same, easy and most importantly - that nobody failed.
Taking chances became our life motto. We would never have achieved all we've done without risk?
"Take a chance you never know how perfect something might turn out to be" ~unknown

Today is a celebration of the happy memories shared with our three AMAZING foundation mares at Pearsons View Arabians. These photographs were taken by Gregory Egan several years ago - left - Simeon Shaina (*Asfour x Simeon Safanad) - middle - Simeon Sarah(*Sankt Georg x *Damirah), Carmel Rowley and - right - Simeon Sima (*Asfour x *Mohema). We had such great fun but by the look on the mares faces they knew we were not taking it all very seriously. We laughed, rolled our eyes and cursed with frustration, tempted with food and all sorts of paraphernalia to try and get all six ears forward at the same time. Did we succeed? I don't think so but I didn't check every one of the photographs as there are lots. I have to say to these gorgeous mares and to Greg Egan - thanks for the memory. xo

Four decades of Pearsons View Arabians

…..to the development of a dream and the realization of a life’s journey. Pearsons View Arabians was established in 1975 when Don and Carmel Rowley, quite simply, fell in love with the Arabian horse. Together they set a goal to connect the beauty of nature with an historic and fascinating breed. Their overwhelming desire to reproduce the desert horse of courage, grace and refinement eventually led them to Egyptian bloodlines. The everyday life at Pearsons View is shared with nature. At the bird bath in the garden, wallabies can be seen cautiously drinking while every morning the loud raucous songs of the bird life join with the impatient banging of stable doors, and an occasional whinny from the barn. This symphony of nature is easily heard from the house and every day is duplicated within the small world of Pearsons View.

The everyday life at Pearsons View is shared with nature. At the bird bath in the garden, wallabies can be seen cautiously drinking while every morning the loud raucous songs of the bird life join with the impatient banging of stable doors, and an occasional whinny from the barn. This symphony of nature is easily heard from the house and every day is duplicated within the small world of Pearsons View.

J.D.Rockefeller Snr, once said, "If you want to succeed you should strike out on new paths, rather than travel the worn paths of accepted success."

That is exactly how the Pearsons View breeding program is operated, purposely ignoring the concept of fads and fashion, while prudently breeding as if every individual will remain a part of the stud’s vision. A very clear understanding of what lies ahead keep Don and Carmel traveling the endless path that makes up the many facets of the Arabian horse community. If nothing else, the years have taught the courage of personal convictions but most importantly that a breeder should possess a deep, unswerving love of the Arabian horse.

However to really characterize the PVA breeding program, mention must be made of the many people whose lives have intertwined and supported the Pearsons View quest to breed and share truly beautiful Arabian horses. Without these people the journey would have been less rewarding and much less enjoyable. Proudly many of these people have remained synonymous with PVA since the 1970’s and 80’s.

The achievement of interstate and local breeders who purchased horses or used the PVA stallions is unquestionable and the results speak for themselves. All of these people have different goals and each one is successful in their own right. Most of all they have a like mindedness for integrity and loyalty. The deep conviction that a breeding program is never really finished, but simply keeps evolving is a strongly held belief by Don and Carmel. Over several years the stud slowly wound down. Though the horses themselves remain a testament to all that is beautiful in the world Don and Carmel now enjoy their retirement from breeding.

Pearsons View has always drawn on the great bloodlines within the breed. Some of the favourites from the past are Hadban Enzahi, Ansata Ibn Halima, Kaisoon, Ghazal and Jamil, showing an obvious preference for a specific type. Horses such as *Sankt Georg RSI, Salaa EI Dine and *Asfour, combine nowadays with the blood of Ibn Moniet El Nefous, Tuhotmos, Ibn Galal, and Morafic to add a variation on the theme. These horses provide not just an historical perspective but a formula which now represents the very soul of Pearsons View.

During the last twenty plus the straight Egyptian breeding program took priority. The classic foundation straight Egyptians, Simeon Stav (Asfour imp Germ x Simeon Safanad), Simeon Shaina (Asfour imp Germ x Simeon Safanad) and Simeon Sima (Asfour imp Germ x Mohema imp Germ) conjure the qualities that personify the standard of the Arabian breed. The stallion *Salaa Sihr (Salaa EI Dine x Ansata Nile Magic) imported from the USA as a yearling has been extremely successful in siring a new generation of fillies.

A standard as old as time itself has been continually tested in the forty plus years Pearsons View operated. Don and Carmel view themselves as belonging to the great relay race of life, passing on from generation to generation the baton of dreams, which connects the romantic past with the tenacity of the present. No one comes last and the only race you win is the careful preservation and a never ending admiration for the Arabian breed.
