Seeing some ads for the qstallions leaderboard reminded us to take a look at them. We are truly honored to see our names amongst so many incredible halter horse owners, exhibitors, and friends.

We are blessed to be able to have horses on the top 50 for earnings (I Inspire Secrets #29 and Dream Makerr #37), top 50 producing mares (Enspiring #23 ( #15 in 2024 as well) and Antee Up Girl #45), be top 20 breeders, and top 5 in owners for 2025.

Thank you to everyone who helps make these dreams possible with a big thank you especially to Chris Arentsen who always has our horses at their peak come show season year in and year out.

Can’t wait to see what 2026 brings!

Excited to say that AQHA World and Reserve World Champion, Mr Exceptional, has once again qualified for the AQHA World Show in Open 3yo Geldings!

“Levi” was Grand Champion under 4 judges at the Corporate Challenge show earlier this month!

This boy has done everything we could ever have dreamed of a horse could for us from winning the BHF as a weanling, being named Amateur World Champion weanling, then continuing to pick up a Reserve World Champion title as a yearling! He’s won over $30K in career earnings and numerous globes.

As we focus primarily on showing weanlings and yearlings, we are offering this incredible boy for sale. Because he is so special to us we are looking for a special home for him, one where he will be loved and continue to make dreams come true for his new owner.

Get him now and take him to the AQHA World Show this fall! He truly is a special special horse!

Levi has been under the guidance of Chris Arentsen since he was 3 months old and we cannot thank Chris and Anna enough for keeping him at the top of his game throughout his career.

Thrilled to support such a great futurity! If you haven’t been to the WCHA shows, Supreme in May or Halter Millions in September you are missing out and need to put it on your calendar!

Foaling season has concluded for us with our last foal arriving this past Tuesday.

This year we became partners in a new venture into the world of thoroughbreds and this is our second foal!

This beautiful filly is sired by G1 winner and million dollar winning sire, ARABIAN KNIGHT by Uncle Mo.

Her dam is Bernetta. Bernetta is sired by Kentucky Derby winner, STREET SENSE, and out of ZETTA Z, who is also the dam of current 5th ranked race horse in the world, NYSOS!

This filly is bred to be a champion and produce champions as well! We couldn’t be more thrilled with her and excited for all her future holds!

Life has gotten a little crazy and we’ve fallen behind on posting the new foals we’ve had but we will try and catch up here shortly.

This morning our last AQHA foal was born, a bay stud c**t who is sired by Evinceble AQHA World Champion and out of AQHA World and AQHA Res World Champion producer, RPL Premonition.

This c**t is a full sibling to AQHA World and Reserve World Champion, Mr Exceptional as well as AQHA Res World Champion, Delegated.

This is an exciting c**t that we cannot wait to see how he comes along! Eligible for all of the major futurities!
