CaliforniaArabians

CaliforniaArabians is a notable stable that has significantly contributed to the Arabian horse breed in North America. Founded by Ann and Bob Smith, the farm was established in the late 1960s in Fontana, California. Their focus was on breeding Arabian horses that combined exceptional athleticism with classic Arabian type and temperament.

Over the decades, CaliforniaArabians became renowned for its foundation mares, many of whom were descendants of prominent bloodlines such as the Polish, Egyptian, and Spanish strains. The Smiths meticulously selected stallions and mares to achieve a consistent and desirable breeding program. Their horses were recognized for their beauty, intelligence, and versatility, excelling in various disciplines including halter, performance classes, and endurance riding.

CaliforniaArabians played a role in promoting the Arabian horse breed through its involvement in shows and events. The stable's dedication to quality breeding and its impact on the breed's genetic pool have left a lasting legacy. While the operation may have evolved over time, the influence of CaliforniaArabians on the North American Arabian horse landscape remains a significant part of the breed's history.
