Fern Hill Arabians
and Other Horses

Fern Hill Home

We are very proud to introduce our small herd of registered purebred and partbred Arabians and other horses. Our horses are part of the family -- they get lots of attention, twice daily feedings, and plenty of pasture time. Some of them are retired show horses with lots of ribbons to their credit, while others have never been near the show ring -- but all are champions to us!

Farah in 1983	Farah-Rose 152178 (Rafaramus x Gay Rose Gal) 1977 grey mare, 14.3 1/2 hands, bred by Horseshoe Lake Arabians, Lake Elmo, MN We purchased Farah from her breeder in April 1981. She has a gorgeous head and neck, a great body, and legs like iron. We never showed her, but she has been a wonderful riding mare and broodmare. Her lifetime foal total was six fillies. Farah is gentle and very easy to handle, but rather aloof. She is happiest in the pasture with other horses nearby -- but not too close.

Fern Hill Nova (Melayah Royal x Farah-Rose) 1981 grey mare, 14.1 hands, bred by Horseshoe Lake Arabians, Lake Elmo, MN Farah's first filly -- we purchased her when she was 4 days old. She has been a wonderful friend and companion, with a heart and disposition that can't be beat. Enthusiastic and eager to work, she started in Western Pleasure, but in her later years moved to dressage. She is now retired from riding due to an injury, but is still the queen of the pasture.
Starlight, July 1986	Starlight Sonata (*Hal Gazal x Farah-Rose) 1982 bay mare, 15.3 hands, bred by Fern Hill Arabians, Lenoir City, TN A halter winner and multi-champion at Class A shows in Open and Amateur English Pleasure, Starlight was our premier show horse for many years. What a trooper this girl was! After retiring from the show ring, she worked dressage for fun and relaxation, and because she didn't like being idle. She was a beautiful, steady, and elegant mount. Sadly, she died from acute colic December 25, 2006, and is much missed.
Snowjade (*Malikitoa x Farah-Rose) 1983 grey mare, 15.1 hands, bred by Fern Hill Arabians, Lenoir City, TN A wonderful, athletic, and very beautiful mare, Snowjade learned tricks as a yearling. She was brilliant, easy to train, and moved like a cloud. Unfortunately, she had a massive allergic reaction to multiple ground bee stings in August 1990, foundered severely, and had to be put to sleep that October when her feet started to separate.

	Tsunday (Ivanhoe Tsultan x Farah-Rose) 1985 grey mare, 15.1 hands, Bred by Fern Hill Arabians, Lenoir City, TN Tsunday was Farah's 4th filly. She is big and pretty, very feminine, pleasant to ride, but a bit lazy. She enjoys the quiet life on the farm. Shown at left with her foal, Dancer.
Ginger Rogers, September 1987	Ginger Rogers 377297(Nasark x Farah-Rose) 1987 chestnut mare, 15.0 hands, Bred by Fern Hill Arabians Our first part-Egyptian, Ginger was by the Region XII Top 5 Stallion and many times Most Classic champion Nasark. We sold her as a three year old to Susan Sillman, who planned to use her in dressage.
Felicity Rose (Ivanhoe Tsultan x Farah-Rose) 1994 chestnut mare, 15.1 hands, bred by Fern Hill Arabians Felicity Rose was Farah's last foal, and a full sister to Tsunday pictured above. She is big and athletic, quick as a cat, and she loves to run.	Felicity Rose, April 1995
Dancer as a yearling, April 1995	Samurai Raindance (Rohara Samurai x Tsunday) 1994 chestnut mare, 15.1 hands, bred by Fern Hill Arabians We expected a grey, and were suprised when she stayed chestnut -- but with her dark coat, red mane and tail, and neat white markings, she's quite a lovely girl. She is working in dressage these days, and has lovely, springy gaits and a nice disposition. Like her mother, she's a bit lazy and would rather eat!

Orient Express as a yearling, August 1987	Orient Express (Nasark x Ming Empress) 1985 3/4 Arabian grey gelding, 15.2 hands, bred by Fern Hill Arabians This was a really lovely gelding. He won a halter championship the only time we showed him, at the Kentucky Horse Park, against a Top Ten Gelding. He was a great mover, too. Since he left us as a three year old, he has gone on to Atlanta where he was shown successfully as a hunter/jumper and dressage horse for many years.
Marrakesh Express (Nasark x Ming Empress) 1987 grey 3/4 Arab gelding, 15.1 hands, bred by Fern Hill Arabians Marrakesh was sold to a friend who loved and rode him for many years. Unfortunately, her family situation has changed and she is no longer able to keep him, so he is now back home with us where he will stay for the balance of his life. Marrakesh is a very handsome horse -- light grey now -- who would have been a halter champion if he had ever been shown. He's also a talented dressage horse, with a big, powerful trot and lots of forward movement. Well trained through level 1, but a bit rusty as he hasn't been ridden for a while.	Marrakesh, April 1993

This is Dapple, our 1980 Welsh pony gelding. He's carried countless children to ribbons in small hunter and driving classes before coming to live with us in 1992. He's found a permanent home here!	Dapple and Ryan, May 1993
