History of Sterling Shagya Sporthorses

    

     I first fell in love with the Shagya-Arabian breed in 1990.  As a pre-vet/Equine Science student at Colorado State University I spent a summer working at Adele’s Shagyas in Montana as an intern.  I had never heard of the breed.  Adele had read about the breed in the mid 80’s and imported 5 Shagya-Arabians from Europe.  I handled both *Oman and *Shandor for breeding and was so impressed with their temperament.  I knew I would have to have one someday.

     In 2003 I finally decided it was time to buy a Shagya-Arabian of my own.  I contacted Adele to purchase a Shagya-Arabian.  I wanted an *Oman daughter bred to *Shandor and Adele had a weanling stallion prospect that fit the bill.  I was unsure of getting a stallion, but went ahead with it.  Sterling Silver AF was the first Shagya-Arabian stallion here in So Cal.  He is a dream to work with.  I now have a small herd of Shagya-Arabians.  Thanks to Sterling, the first Shagya-Arabians have now been born in Australia.  

     I strive to maintain the  outstanding quality of 200+ years of meticulous Shagya-Arabian breeding.  Outstanding movement and temperament are key qualities I look to not only maintain, but to improve on through my breeding.  I attend the ISG meeting in EU every year and tour Shagya-Arabian farms throughout EU to increase my knowledge regarding this outstanding breed.

     We welcome visitors to the ranch to see this exciting breed and learn more about them.
