Day Dream Arabians | Carol Steppe 
Day Dream Arabians is located in the magical Santa Ynez valley of California. Carol Steppe has had Arabian horses in this ideal location for 22 years and believes it is the perfect setting for a world class Arabian horse farm. The philosophy of Day Dream's
owner, Carol Steppe, is that to give up beauty for talent, or talent for beauty is simply that – giving up. Greatness is only proven year
after year and horse after horse. One special horse does not make a great breeder. Consistently producing horses of great beauty
and proven talent, year after year, and always trying to raise the bar in the meantime, that is what a breeder should try to achieve.

HB Arabians | Christine Bruce & John Hilliard
  HB Arabians is owned by John Hilliard and Christine Bruce. Their love for Arabian horses began in 1994 with the purchase of a
mare and gelding and the intention of pleasure riding around the farm. After the decision to raise a foal-one foal-came to fruition, Christine was hooked. She knew that to have babies appearing every year she would have to be confident that she would be able
to move them along to good homes. With that realization came the need for great mares who could produce desireable offspring.
We love so many things about the Arabian breed, and so many different styles within the breed itself, but the best is just watching
the young ones grow, learn, and become something. Christine also enjoys competing in the show ring and is no stranger to the winners circle.

themselves, and with the purchase of their exquisite foundation mare, Glorietasayonaara, became dedicated breeders as well. Although the Metzs' have owned and bred numerous U.S., Scottsdale, Egyptian Event, and international champions, a primary focus
