I’ve loved horses for as long as I can remember. My first horse, who wasn’t my horse, was a Quarter horse on the farm I grew up on. We didn’t own or work the farm. My parents leased the house on the 500-acre farm. At age fifteen, a friend, Arabian, had a colt that I fell in love with, and my parents purchased him for me. Four years later, after changing residence and expecting my first child, I decided to sell him. Life happened, and many years passed. Somewhere along the way, I almost gave up my dream of owning horses. Then I read about a Straight Egyptian Arabian farm and went for a visit. The cost almost crushed my dream instantly.
Many more years passed, and then one day in 2012, I did it…I bought a beautiful Straight Egyptian Arabian mare named TF Kashmeeraa! To this day, I feel blessed and proud. I also think it’s cool that her pedigree traces back to King Solomon’s herd through Botswana, her sire. Jabbarah is a result of my first breeding, and she tied for Champion in her class and was awarded Reserve Champion at the 2014 Egyptian Event. Jabbarah scored in the top five of all the files and mares at the show, and I was awarded a Breeding Excellence award! Very humbling.
