Masterpiece Arabians is located in beautiful British Columbia, Canada. There are one hundred and fifty rolling acres with pastures, four barns, six indoor arenas, an outdoor show arena, visiting mare facilities, a modern laboratory, indoor breeding shed, and two residential homes.
We like to call it horse heaven. The rain provides us with lush, green pastures for horses to graze on and foals to frolic in. They roam in large pastures with free access to forage and water. Their bones grow strong with free exercise, and they learn their place in the social scheme.

We bring them in at night, and handle them daily, so that they learn that human contact is ordinary and pleasant; and while humans must be respected, they need not be feared. We imprint our foals from birth; we train them gradually and gently. We allow them to develop psychologically and physically at their own rates. We establish a basic bond of trust, and then from there, we build. The result is sound, sane and stable horses.
The goal of our breeding program is to produce beautiful, willing, trainable athletes. To that end, we have carefully selected mares who showed us those qualities, and who we believed would pass them on. We tested our mares in the show ring, for we believe that the proof is in the doing, and bred them to the finest sires we could find. We chose our sires on the quality of their progeny, their pedigrees, and their phenotype. We chose stallions on in individual basis -- selecting individuals who we believed would bring out the best each of our mares had to offer and who complemented them in other areas.

We will not sacrifice disposition for a pretty face, or structural soundness for snort and blow. Our goal for our horses is that they live long, productive and happy lives. And to do that, they must be strong and sound in mind and body
It is our belief that the barn is a convenience for us, and not necessarily for the horses. Therefore, all the horses are turned out daily, and the weanlings on up are housed in the pastures full-time. That does make a bit more work for us, however we have hard, rocky ground and they develop feet that are tough as nails. What is that old adage - "no hoof, no horse". We also appreciate the herd mentality that these horses develop and the strong straight legs that are both inherent due to their genes, and reinforced by their room to roam.
