A note from the owner:

My first experience with Welaras was at 12 years old.   I was taking lessons at a local barn and the instructors son rode a beautiful grey pony. This grey pony was breath taking.  He had a wonderful personality, strong mind  and was very athletic.  I soon learned he was half Arabian and half Welsh, a Welara.  Welaras  are known for their good movement and gentle temperament.    They have great minds, are very patience, very athletic, and are dependable mounts that very versatile which makes a perfect kid's pony/horse.   However, it wasn't until later in my life that I would become reintroduced to these wonderful horses.

I began my horse career in 1988, when I purchased an Arabian Gelding, "Taj".  He is a wonderful horse and has taught me so much.   Arabian's have a false reputation for being spooky, flighty, and hard to deal with.   However, Taj has shown me that this is not always true and  has been my friend throughout the years.   In 2002,  I found "Tuxedo Man", a black Arabian Stallion.  I bought him because of his personality and conformation. 

Years later, I was reintroduced Welaras.   Today we breed some wonderful Welaras at North Star.
