About Us
We bought our farm in 1991. It was a gift from my husband to me because he knew that that's what I'd wanted since early childhood. I grew up in a small house on the outskirts of Edmonton, surrounded by farms with cattle, but right across the road from us lived a pair of Draft Horses. I would watch them and dream of someday owning a horse of my own. A horse, any horse would do just fine. ****** My husband grew up in Winnipeg, mostly living in apartments. His family moved to Edmonton in the late sixties or early seventies and again lived in apartments until his mid-teens when his family moved into a house on the west side of the city. ****** We were married in 1977 and lived in the city or small towns for the first fifteen years. As I grew up, and our family grew from two to five, my dreams of living in the country and owning my own horse faded. But my passion for horses never went away. I would read any book or watch any television show that had anything to do with horses. ****** When my husband suggested to me that we sell our house in town and buy a piece of property in the country I couldn't believe my ears. Here was my "city slicker" husband suggesting that we give up urban life with all it's luxuries and move to a rural setting, but I wouldn't even let him think about changing his mind. A year later we moved to where we are now. It was another five years before I bought my first horse. ****** I bought an eighteen-year-old Arabian mare, Nefertete Bint Ra, and as luck would have it, she was bred to a Morgan stallion for a Morab foal, due the following spring. "Neffie" was highly agitated when she arrived at our farm. It had been years since she was separated from her daughter, and my husband, seeing how upset she was about that, decided then and there to buy her ten-year-old daughter, Dawn's Nifty Sky, who was also bred to the same stallion. She was delivered a couple of hours later that same day and both mares settled in quickly. ***** In May and June the following year our mares delivered a colt and a filly, Beam's Nifty Dreamer and Dawn's Enchanted Baby, and there began my passion for Morabs. ****** In the years since we bought the farm and the horses I've learned that even though dreams may fade they can and do come true. I am living my dream.
