We moved to Texas in June of 2002 from Central Michigan. We brought with us 2 Arabian mares that are the foundation stock for our breeding program.
Both mares are from Avatar Arabians in Perry, MI. I have always loved and had horses, but have a deep passion for the Arabian horse. Avatar's owner, Jan Senneker, saw that and with her help, i have learned a lot about breeding, raising, training, and showing Arabians. She taught me alot about different bloodlines. She allowed me to work with her stallions and some superb youngsters. Both of my mares I have known all their lives and trained both of them as weanlings.
I have been forunate to have worked with Regional and National winners such as Rhythm and Blues, Pioneer V, Avatar Al Sufi, Andromeda's Gift, Avatar Andromeda, and countless others.
Jan - I am forever grateful for all you have taught me and given me. Thank you.
When we first moved to Texas, we were living on the Circle F Horse Ranch in Kingsland, TX with horse breeder, trainer, and good friend, Linda Wilkison. Linda has raised horses all her life, but dove into the Arabian breed in 2000 when she purchased the Cassel-bred stallion, Lindale. We both have helped each other learn more about the lines we breed - she, the Polish and Russian lines, and me, the Varian and Avatar lines. We are crossing her lines to mine in the expectation of some superb foals for 2005.
In June of 2003, we moved to Burnet, TX where we lease 11 acres for our two Arabian mares and their buddy, an 8-year-old Missouri Fox Trotter gelding named Pete.
We will be breeding both mares to the stallions of Circle F in 2004. Be sure to check back often for updates on the mares and pictures of the babies in 2005.
