Dickson USDA Farm Tour on July 11,
Over 200 people came by to visit our Arabians!
Ali Sheba Arabians began in 1985 with one little Arabian mare! I myself, had been raised with Quarter Horses, but in my heart the desire had always been there to own an Arabian! So 20 years later we purchased our first Arabian! When we brought this little mare home, she was so old and broken down and thin but when you looked into those soulful eyes you saw a heart as big as Texas! Needless to say a "love affair" was born for this wonderful breed!
Larry and I began our search for the best broodmares we could find and at the same time always looking for a stallion that would be able to produce the "type" we wanted to create! We did our homework and we researched breeders and their bloodlines. We looked for consistent type, correct conformation and an athletic ability along with that great disposition our first little mare had.
We finally found her in 1991, " The Varian Arabian" owned by Shelia Varian! And the rest is history!
Our mares and our stallion all carry the bloodlines of this great breeder. We feel if you can continue to be successful after 50 yrs of breeding, you must be doing something right! What a great individual to follow! And with bloodlines such as this you find that your breeding program is very predictable, the old saying "Champions Breed Champions", is so true!
Always remember to be honest with people, to be very critical of your own horses instead of your neighbors, and follow your heart!
Welcome to our world!
Larry and Shirley Dover
