Though I've never been much of a farmer, I have certainly found a great sense of satisfaction in the creation of a farm here at Luxemere which feels more like a home for our horses than just a facility. We're far from done, that's for sure, but it's been exciting and getting more so all the time. With the birth of Luxemere's first foal, Luxemere Farenza, I have learned to love and appreciate horses in ways I never knew I could.

There is so much yet for me to learn about horses, the Arabian breed and the breeding process yet I've already learned that they are much more intelligent and have far more personality than I knew and surprise me more and more in these regards all the time. So, in that way, it's certainly been an adventure! And hey, we still have yet to win our first National Championship! More than anything, where our breeding plan is concerned, I think we are looking forward to testing our results against our expectations. So far, Farenza is a real home run and am look forward to everything that's yet to come with her (except of course for the cholic, injuries, and sleepless nights during her first few foalings!). Sometimes I find myself waking up in the middle of the night and blinking my eyes a few times asking myself "Now where am I and what am I doing here"? Yet I am greateful everyday for the exposure to something I would never have considered before and genuinely hope our endeavors here at Luxemere will end up contributing some noteworthy and important to an already remarkable breed!

Some of you may know about my experience and training as a young person in the Arabian Horse Industry. Much of those concepts and beliefs were created from opinions and styles passed along to me from others at the time. That said, I certainly have many great memories about those times and value every experience I had!

However, if you asked me how I feel about those methods as a Breeder today I would tell you that though I was certainly grateful for the exposure at the time, I have a few different ideas today. I've grown to understand that the Arabian Horse is not only a gorgeous animal but an incredibly intelligent one too. And with logevity I've seen just how much that is really the case. The truth is that it makes the process of working with these wonderful animals even more exciting! My 25+ years in this field has exposed me to hundreds, if not thousands, of Arabian Horses and each one has contributed to my concepts about where I feel the breed ought to be headed. But breeding is also its own type of artform and thus involves personal preference. Though I tailor my program to my expectations I definitely have a sense for where I feel our industry should move as a whole and thoroughly consider those aspects when designing my program.

I honestly hope our efforts here at Luxemere Park will enhance this field of study such that many future generations will benefit and have as much to look forward to in terms of designing a better and better bredding process as have we.
