We are located in historic SE Wyoming, home of Steamboat, Wyoming's famous bucking bronc and the infamous Tom Horn. KNJ Arabians is about a dream that includes family, horses, and a simple way of life with fresh country air, singing birds, soaring hawks, foxes and kits, and lots of hard work! Each year, we witness the birth of new calves, and watch hatchlings grow to try out their wings. The long
ago dream began with a little girl watching Mr. Ed through the bars of her crib. As a child, I loved and lived horses pretending I was winning the Kentucky Derby or riding to the wild west on my bouncy horse. I recall seeing Arabians in pictures and thinking they were the most beautiful horses in the world. I read every Walter Farley book. As Alec did, I was going to own my black Arabian stallion. I have always wanted to raise horses, and eventually I was able to purchase my first horse, a black Arabian mare. Not quite the Black, but I didn't mind! This began an adventure for myself, my fantastic husband and great kids, and my wonderful Vijja. With time and life changes, we purchased two more mares, raised a few foals, and began an educational experience that has been most valuable. Now, we as a family group, are beginning our next venture. We own our first stallion, and last summer, bred our first mares. What a new, exciting, and scary experience. Now begins studies of bloodlines, management, training, record keeping, and just good old enjoyment. Hard work, yes, but plain, simple fun also. We, as a family, feel truly blessed by our Lord, and I pray that we bring glory and honor to Him where ever this venture leads us.
