HELP US CELEBRATE !

We are pleased to announce we will be having an OPEN BARN on August 27, 2009.  Come see our mares, foals and geldings at the Mud Hollow Barn, then move over to our China Hollow Barn to see our stallions.   We will bring our stallions out and let them show their stuff at liberty.  We will have a BBQ in conjunction with our Open Barn.  Please mark your calendars and join us from 4 PM - 6 PM on Thursday, August 27th.

This is in conjunction with the AK-CMK SYMPOSIUM which will be held in Redmond, Oregon August 28 - 30,2009.  Click here to go to the AK-CMK SYMPOSIUM website.  There will be Barn Tour with Open Barns throughout Oregon (one in WA).

UPDATE: MAY 2009 - SPIRIT OF BAYZI (Mackies Image x Sparkling Spirit by Ambir Dragon), is now in Colorado at Arapahoe Park and ran  her first race on Memorial Day!  She ran a good second and may of won if she had more distance as she was gaining.  Click here to see the video replay of the race.  (Thanks LJ for posting this!) 

Many thanks to Anne Blount for helping to make this possible!

CMK, Crabbet related, Early American Foundation, Domestic, American Foundation, Kellogg related... all these terms help describe our horses. We have stayed true to our vision of a great riding horse.  We have primarily stayed with Crabbet, Maynesboro and Kellogg lines, with the ABU FARWA sons, MUHULI, FARLANE , GA'ZI and grandsons, ABU MALACAR, IBN FARLANE, SARAT THANI, and KILAUEA FIRE  having great influence in our breeding program. 

We breed for disposition, conformation, athleticism, and last but NOT least, for the preservation of old unique (CMK) bloodlines. We believe our stallions worth lies in the quality of their get as well as their pedigree.

KILAUEA FASHION has done it again!  She has written another delightful story "Straight from the Horses Mouth" in the Food For Thought section.  Check it out.

*On our list of horses, I have mark some horses I would consider selling or leasing.  Check it out on our list of horses.  Please check in often and see what is happening on the ranch.
