TC Mr Lucky

(*Naborr x Lady Luck)

The first Arabian breeding stock was acquired from a Wyoming neighbor who also had a horse farm in Texas.  They were primarily Egyptian (Gleannloch) crossed on domestic mares.  We then moved onto Polish lines since our neighbor acquired the racing sire *Sambor and later sold us TC Mr Lucky, a pure Polish *Naborr son.

(Indian Diadem x Salima Dawn)

Si Si Savvy

(*SS Orion x Granada 1)

 In 2003 Bayard and Mel visited a riding center in Spain and were taken by our hosts to Diego Mendez' La Aldara Stud.  We were very impressed with the Spanish Arabians who looked big, athletic and also had quiet temperaments.  We were lucky enough to have the use of the Stanley Ranch bred straight Spanish Arabian Si Si Savvy owned by Ginna Frantz for two breeding seasons.  This up and coming young stallion was the Region 7 USEF Arabian Dressage Champion in 2004.  In lease agreements with the Stanley Ranch we had the services of Wradar (*Esperanto x Granada 1) and Al Exstatic (Exodus1 x Pascion S).  We acquired our own straight Spanish colt, Granizo (*Granizar x La Dulcinea) in 2007.  Since some of our Crabbet mares were growing older we decided to keep that line going through the athletic SSA Mistics Shadow PC (RAS Amyr Dargee PC x FV Silver Mistic), whom we leased for 2 years.
