Tranquil Morning Farm Arabians

Since I was old enough to walk and talk, I loved horses.  My childhood is filled with memories of riding the ponies at the farm down the street, or riding and taking care of my cousin's horses.  I knew someday I would own my own horse.  I did finally achieve that goal.  In 2003, I began leasing a beautiful chestnut Arabian mare from a family friend.  That got me hooked on Arabians.  From there I purchased my first horse, a registered bay Arabian mare.  To keep her company we helped to rescue a precious bay gelding (who later went on to be the beloved horse of my best friend).  From that point I could not imagine ever wanting a different breed of horse.

In 2007 We rescued Prancer, our incredible chestnut Arabian gelding.  We suspect he was once registered and raised for show, but through unknown circumstances ended up at auction, skin and bones with an untreated case of lyme disease.  It takes constant care to keep weight on him, and carefully chosen supplements to keep his arthritis (likely from the lyme disease we treated him for when we got him). He is no doubt the gentlest horse I've ever met.   Safe for even the youngest child, I have seen him bopped on the nose by a balloon and not flinch.  I have seen my daughter (now 4 and the owner of her own little pony) walk underneath his belly...and he stood perfectly still so as not to hurt her.  When I put her on his back, he tiptoes so very carefully, looking back to be sure he doesn't drop her.  Just amazing.  He is the bestfriend to my daughter Ruth. 

We also rescued, with Prancer, a sweet elderly bay mare named Roxie.  She now resides with a friend of mine and still has some issues from  her previous treatment by past owners.

A few months later we purchased a stunning grey registered Arabian mare, BC Lady Felicia.  She is my soul-mate horse.  No one who has not had the experience of totally bonding with a horse could ever understand the relationship...it is just wonderful.  She rides both English and Western, loves to jump, run barrels or just poke on the trail.  Ruthie has fallen in love with Lady (and vice versa) and will begin riding her as we retire Prancer to a therapy farm we work with.

As my youngest daughter showed more and more interest in riding, we were blessed with a sweet little miniature mare for her to love (thank you to a great friend).  She is just the right size for a 4yr old to groom, care for and ride.  The perfect little babysitter and pony for her to learn on.

We added a sweet registered Arabian mare named Marici.  My mother has wanted a horse since she was a little girl, so Marici belongs to her. 

We recently added to our farm PC Mozart, who we feel very blessed to have join us.  My daughter, Ruthie, has fallen in love with "Georgie" and is working very hard at retraining him.

Our final addition to our Farm is Amaretta Amal, a 4 yr old chestnut mare.  To eventually be my son, Rob's, horse, Amie will be trained by both myself and Ruthie in Western Pleasure.

The relationship between an Arabian  horse and their human is special.  It goes back to the Bedouin people who lived in the Arabian deserts.  Their horses were so valuable to them, that they were kept in the tent with their family.  The horses form a strong bond with their person, and will go to great lengths for their special person.  That same personality is inbred into these magnificant horses.  As long as I live...I will always have an Arabian horse as my best friend.
