Merv and Maridelle Crake
Texas
Merv is retired from Shell Oil and he and Maridelle had a desire to raise small horses upon retirement. They saw Caspians at the Texas State Fair in 2000 and came to Texana Farms a year later and purchased an exquisite mare, Esther. This terrific couple plans to use Esther in a Christian Ministry and Maridelle is riding her as well! Maridelle reports, "to see her trust in us, her gentleness, her desire to please has been rewarding." Esther was recently bred to our stallion Karamat.

Mary and Ron Harrison
Illinois
Ron is retired from the University of Illinois and Mary is employed by the Federal Government. Mary is another enthusiastic and avid horse lover. They had both only read about Caspians and thought they looked just like little Arabians. They visited in person and purchased the stallion, Moses and the broodmare Hafeeda. Ron was surprised and impressed with the Caspian's fluid movement stating, "it is not at all pony-like as I would have expected." Mary commented: "most young stallions are nippy, but Moses displayed none of that!" These two will be helping introduce the breed in Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, and Wisconsin. Their plans for the Caspians are: Show-Show-Show!
