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.
**UPDATE: Due to the current horse market, we have decided to do the responsible thing and not breed any more mares unless we have a specific plan for the foal. We believe that if every horse breeder, any where, were to make these similar choices, then there would be far less unwanted horses in this country that are destined to end up in a horrible situation. We never want that for any of our babies.
The Ladies at home:
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).
Shy and I will be in the show ring and on the trails this summer. 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.
See her complete pedigree here.
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 have decided to retain her for our selves, perhaps as one Lindsay's future mounts. This Summer (2011) Lindsay has started to work with Firefly and hopes to be riding her by Spring 2012. Keep checking back to see what the future holds for this exciting young mare.

The Ladies away from home:
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.
See Angel's complete pedigree here.
Lindsay also loves riding her on the trails and this summer she is looking forward to lots of saddle time.
Desi's pedigree brings proven bloodlines with lines to
Khemosabi++++//, thru Khabernet and Gai Parada+++/ thru Gai Phoenix as well as lines to the also well known Ferzon, Azraff, and *Bask.

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.
Shy is a tall, big bodied mare with an exotic head that was shown a limited amount in Halter as a youngster and then went into Western Pleasure Training with Jeff Lee and Company. Shy has been doing well in the show ring Fall 2009 and Spring 2010 earning points in Showmanship, Western Pleasure and Trail and bringing home a Halter Championship. She was also named the NW WA AHA High Point Arabian Mare of 2009. 
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.
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.
