The Mares
of Black Horse Farms
On these pages you will find our prized mares. We believe that our mares bring an
invaluable component to our breeding program and our lives. They were considered to be 60% of the resulting foals by the Bedouins and we believe this to
be true as well. These lovely ladies deserve their honor and due so we present them to you here in all their glory.
The Ladies:
MHA Seraffs Aria: 1998 Chestnut Mare.
Angel has been the trustworthy mount and best friend of my now 13 yr old daughter Lindsay for 6+ years but now is sadly outgrown for the purposes of showing. At only about 14.2, Angel looks a little small under Lindsay's 5'7" frame. It has been a hard adjustment because Lindsay has been riding her since she was 6 and Angel was 5 after only 2 months of trail riding for Angel as training. Her willing and patient temperament is one of the defining traits of her sire Khe Raffon. They have had a lot of fun collecting ribbons for Lindsay's scrapbook and Lindsay's First High Point Award with Angel is one of her favorites! They also enjoyed riding in parades, camping and trail riding together.
Currently Angel is on extended care lease by a family were are good friends with. She will always be a part of our family but she is now teaching a whole new bunch of kids to ride.
Angel has given us 3 very nice foals, the most recent being Khaluah N Khreme B, a palomino pinto 1/2 Arab filly... see her on the foal page.
Angel brings to our program the richest of proven bloodlines with 3 lines to
Khemosabi++++//, one thru Khari+++... as well as lines to the also well known El Hilal, *Serafix and Raffon. Very refined, Angel is the epitomy of
Arabian breeding with the delicate strength the breed is reknown for.

SC Tawnie: 1995 Pure Polish Bay Mare.
Tawnie is a typey, animated mare
that is a point earner in Western pleasure, Costume, and Halter (see show record on Datasource) and is a Trail Champion as well as the NW WA AHA 2006 High Point Western Horse.
Among the foals Tawnie has had for us is Dared To Dream B, see her below on this page. We are also very proud of Psyches Psylouette (Haley), an exquisite 2007 filly by our Padron Psyche son (SOLD). See her show record on the foals page. Tawnie has also given us a 2009 Palomino pinto 1/2 Arab colt Dandelion Mine B (SOLD before weaning).
Tawnie is back in the saddle string after being off for maternity leave and we are planning to spend time on the trails, her preferred place, rather than the show ring.
Tawnie brings to our program the wealth of proven Polish bloodlines with such notables as *Aladdin (2x) and *Probat (she is a granddaughter of both) as well as Ariston, *Cytrys, AAF Kaset+, Negatraz and many others. She also offers the type, refinement and fiery heart of the true Arabian.

$7500 AFire Fly D: 2004 Grey Mare.
Firefly is an own daughter of Bacardi Afire. From the Dana Arabians website: "Bacardi Afire represents the most successful sire line today ~ Afire Bey V ~ Huckleberry Bey++ ~ Bay El Bey. His dam line traces to Barbary++ with the tail female the legendary *Bufa. Talent, beauty, presence, trainability are all included in this one package. A gorgeous dark bay, Bacardi is extremely upright and graceful. Not only does Bacardi have a unique presence and beauty but a remarkable temperament which he passes on to his incredibly beautiful offspring.
Bacardi Afire was named by Arabian Horse World the #2 Nationwide Leading Junior Sire of Performance Horses and the #3 Nationwide Leading Junior Sire of Performance and Halter Horses. His foals have won numerous Class A, Regional, Sweepstakes and National awards in both Halter and Performance."
Firefly's dam Paige (Pistachio {*Salon} x G A Felima) was one of Dana Arabians top producing mares and is credited as the dam of many Champions including Shiloh's full sister Shannacey D. Shannacey D is one following in Paige's footsteps proving to be an outstanding producer of Champions!
Firefly foaled April 3rd 2010 with a filly, Psyches AFire Storm ("Rain") by Psyches Apache. The filly is Sweepstakes Nominated, DAHA Futurity Yearling Halter Nominated, Sport Horse Nationals Payback eligible, Region 5 NW Performance Futurity eligible. We are currently evaluationg her for possibly retaining her for our own program.
This Fall after weaning "Rain" Lindsay plans to start working with Firefly and hopes to be riding her in schooling shows by Spring 2011. Keep checking back to see what the future holds for this exciting young mare.

She was also named the NW WA AHA High Point Arabian Mare of 2009.
Shy and I will be in the show ring and on the trails this summer and we are considering breeding her to a cremello QH stallion this year for a buckskin or palomino foal for 2011.
Shy's sire is the Pure Polish *Probat and her dam carries some of the royal old Crabbet and Desert Bred Egyptian lines up close. Shy brings to our program her type and size as well as the honest heart of the true Arabian.

$3200 Dared to Dream B: 2004 Black Mare.

Dream is well started under saddle with 60+ days of professional training and has been trail ridden which she really enjoys. She is doing wonderfully, she has a very trainable temperament and willing attitude, but since she's very smart she needs something to interest her to really engage.

Previous to my ownership she was ridden Competitive Trail and now she is being "borrowed" by my friend's for their children to ride and they are riding her bareback with a halter and lead around the fields at their home.
