Within ten years, since Murray and Shirley started breeding Arabian horses their farm has grown from modest beginnings into a virtual magnet for Arabian trainers and agents from all over the world. It's all about the right horses, and understanding the cohesive part of the infrastructure of this hobby, sport, and game.
What is the big attraction? What makes people travel to here from all corner of the world? It's not magic, but it may as well be. There beginnings started with purchasing well bred national award winning horses of the Arabian category by the name of Rae Dawn. Since then they have continued with the same objectives to this very day.
Much in the same manner that my cousin carries out with his Clydesdales. However, my cousin is not the first generation of breeders of Clydesdales. For Delvin, he started with working along with his father within the 70’s and carried out with the family tradition in a different course – yet he is one of the main breeders which as well is well recognized throughout the world with Clydesdales. Yet here as well, it’s that percentage of quality and creating an impression by way of passion, which have allowed him as well as Murray and Shirley to render the results of being known throughout the world within this area.
It's not about the most money, more about the dedication and passion.
Upon the nurturing of ten years, they named their stables after one horse that rendered them an excellent entity. That of Rae Dawn Arabians. In given the allowance and speaking with Shirley, I had been to their acreage before. It was nice to just arrive back and render a few pictures.
As the stables are kindled with good people, coupled with an infrastructure that I have yet to see anything which comes close to it.
a beautiiful..horse..:)
ReplyDeleteArabians are such beautiful animals. Good shots.
ReplyDeleteLoved this one.
ReplyDeleteGreat shots Jack! Those horses are gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteTremendous Caroline as this stable is the largest within this country. It's unbelievable. Yet the horses are indescribable.
ReplyDeleteTwo years ago I was at this stable and it's truly something to see Grammy.
ReplyDeleteI went through the entire area and these horses are truly taken care of and groomed in a manner
ReplyDeletewhich I have never seen the likes of.
To see them and to gain more of an understanding of what goes into them
ReplyDeletetruly facisnated me Susan.
This is my favorite of the photos you took, Jack.
ReplyDeleteI was lucky enough to see some Clydesdales a couple years ago at a fair in California. They are magnificent animals.
They are, with as these two really have something, which is going on that when I asked them how these horses deal with the winter.
ReplyDeleteThey indicated amongst all the buildings - they make way. I would have loved to capture her on video, as she was so good at talking
about their experiences over the ten years.
This Arabian acreage is much much more than I had planned on the husband and wife is truly tremendous and very down to earth.
Well I had never known them within the past but she was more than willing to allow me to take pictures - so often I am asked if
I am a photojournalist. Therefore, I never take any pictures any more unless I have the privy in doing so. If not that's fine with me.
As some are cautious, as to whom they understand is not going to breach what they already have.
In addition, it's something that does require a "get to know" before anything is done. I had been here before and I rendered a
tremendous picture of one Arabian, which the other day one year later - I found was from Texas.
The picture, which I wrote on and with, is right here Doug:
