Our web site’s purpose is to provide information about the Shagya-Arabian breed as well as individual horses of interest.

Our small scale Shagya breeding program is based on selective breeding with the goal of producing foals who embody all the traditional qualities of the Shagya-Arabian in a modern day riding and driving horse.

We prefer to breed our mares to stallions who: have been “Approved for Shagya Breeding” with an ISG Registry Member, complement that particular mare and as possible, have proven themselves in sport (whether it be via their own performance or that of their progeny).   Our even smaller part-bred program is based on same criteria. 

Our breeding goal is simply to produce a foal who has the potential to compete at the highest levels of sport yet also be a great family horse.

“Anything less would be a disservice to the 200-year old history of the breed.”
