We have not been at the shows for over a decade. We chose to raise our children, Christopher, Jonathon, Christina, Nicholas, Benjamin, and Angela at home rather than at horse shows. This has not kept me from keeping up with what is going on in the show world. My family acquired our our first Arabian stallion in 1965, when I was 8 years old. The black-bay stallion named Sunrea AHR #017349, was our foundation sire. He is in the pedigree of our domestic horses. We recently added a small group of Straight Egyptian mares to our herd along with a select group of breeding colts from a variety of different National Champion Stallion lines. In 1981, after years of research, Khemmy was purchased as a weanling, to show and to breed to our Sunrea daughters. It proved to be an excellent cross and Khemmy was an extremely popular stallion. He was one of the top producing Khemosabi sons with 60 plus foals, which I'm very proud of; considering all his promotion was done on a school teacher's salary. He won his first halter class the first time shown as a yearling. He was Res.Jr. Champion as a 2 year old, beating out a Buckeye top 8 colt for this honor. He was the Ohio State Fair All Breed Liberty in 1988 and again in 1989. He was like a member of the family. His untimely passing in 1995, at the age of 14; cut short his breeding career and left a void in my heart. His legacy lives on through his son Ivy Hill Lancelot (Ohio Futurity Champion) and his daughters here at the farm. We own the 157 acre farm we are located on, in the beautiful Mohican Area of Ohio. We are 5 miles south of the Mohican State Park on State Route 3; which is approximately half way between Cleveland and Columbus. This is about 7 miles south of Loudonville, Ohio or 1 mile north of the little town of Jelloway, on the East side of the road. We have neighbors that are both English and Amish. One of the largest Amish communities in the U.S. is within a 30 mile drive. We raise most of our own feed (hay and corn), and raise beef cattle also. We rent several hundred acres from our neighbors to raise the crops. We have constructed our own facilities and continue to upgrade and add additional facilities as needed. This also helps us keep our costs down. |
