2005 Sales List
A Herd-to-Go
One of our most exciting prospects is to help a new breeder set
up a
herd
of his or her own,
from the
finest Caspians available.
That is exactly what we propose to do for either one or two
breeders in 2005,
~~ the Finest Caspian Horses in the World ~~
The Story
Originally, Louise Firouz in Iran chose the Best wild and domestic Caspian-type horses that
she could find. She test bred them to prove that they would be superior
as foundation horses for this wonderful breed. She chose the Best of those
to send out into the world.
The wise original breeders in England, Australia and New
Zealand chose the Best
to continue the lines, while holding genetic diversity, and solidifying
structure and type.
Then, two different sets of Americans went out to choose and buy the Best
available to them from each area of the world. They went to England, both
Eastern and Western Australia, New Zealand and added a touch from Belgium
as well. They bought and imported nearly 200 horses with an eye for excellent structure, type
and genetic diversity again.
Through the Best of Luck, we were able to hand pick the Best of those imports
to add to our own imported stock. After 8 years of breeding, we have taken it
back down from nearly 250 to less than 100 of the cream of
the crop from every corner of the world, now including both domestic
and abroad.
And so, we can pass that opportunity on to one or, at the most, two
breeders in 2005 with
the insight to appreciate this sort of opportunity. We are ready to offer
stallions that were never on the market before, mares that simply were not for
sale.
Every filly born in 2000, 2001, 2002 and 2003 was sold, most before birth.
But we quit marketing Caspians in August 2003 and have managed to keep our
fillies from last year as well as those to come this spring.
~~This is how it works ~~
