When I was 3 years old, I met and touched a horse for the first time. Molly was a bay, thoroughbred polo mare with a half-moon shaped scar below her eye. I was mesmerized by how kind something so powerful could be. After that, horses were in my blood. I craved being near them and knew they would always have a place in my life. I grew up riding all types of horses in many equine sports. I fell in love over and over again with every breed I encountered, but none more than the Arabian horse. As a teenager, I was able to realize a dream so many young children have: to own and ride a black Arabian stallion. RB Cavalier, an Al Khamsa Arabian, entered my life and ignited a new obsession within me for the Arabian horse. Together we won numerous titles in competition, but at home I rode him everywhere bareback with a halter and lead rope. Sometimes, I rode him bridle-less and galloped the fields of my family's farm freely. Cavalier's beauty inspired others, thus he and I modelled for various photographers, magazines, and calendars. My modelling career and my love for horses merged when he came into my life. Spending time with Cavalier made me wish I could share him with others and so a new dream came into view for me: breeding Arabian horses to share my love for them with the world. In 2008, right after I graduated from high school, my first foal was born. At that time, I began focusing heavily on purchasing the best mares I could find from a variety of bloodlines. I found myself bringing in top halter bloodlines, classic Polish athleticism, while maintaining the beautiful influences of Egyptian horses. While in college, we purchased the now 10x National Champion/Reserve National Champion AO Breeze+++// who is double Ansata Ibn Halima and Khemosabi through Kaiyoum. Breeze captured titles at our US Regional, National, Scottsdale and World Cup shows in halter, jumping, endurance, dressage, sport horse in hand, English trail, and sport horse under saddle. He has since sired numerous National and Scottsdale champions. Our program MLM Arabians, which I share with my husband Ryan Moore, has evolved to focus on breeding horses that are competitive internationally in halter, but that also have the athletic prowess to compete at a national level in our performance competitions in the United States. We are entering our 13th year of breeding and are anxiously awaiting out 2021 foal crop. Our horses have captured titles at every major US show in both halter and many different performance divisions. We now have an incredible group of mares that we own or have embryos from including: · Aria Tresor (Conquest BR x RH Triana by ROL Intencyty): Gold Champion Wold Cup, Gold Champion Breeders Finals, Reserve US National Champion, Silver Champion Scottsdale (embryo right) · MD Athena (Truest x Anastasiaa by ATA Bey Starr): Gold Champion World Cup Halter, Scottsdale/National winner in halter (embryo right) · Bashayer Albidayer (SMA Magic One x PA Penelope out of Pinaga): Scottsdale winner in halter (embryo right) · Lyryc (ROL Intencyty x BHF Shahs Lullaby by Bey Shah): Black Regional winner in halter, Scottsdale/National winner in performance · Allure MLM (AO Breeze x TA Alette by Travis MSC): Regional winner in halter, National winner in performance. · Godiva MLM (EKS Alihandro x Gheisha by WH Justice): Gold Champion Breeders Finals · Dripn N Diamonds (PA Kid Khan x RC Zendaya by Trussardi): Reserve National Champion halter · Moments Light (Thee Masterpiece x Moments Sequel by Moment): Regional & Scottsdale winner in halter. · Serendipity MLM (ROL Intencyty x Sakara MLM by ROL Intencyty) · BHF Shahs Lullaby (Bey Shah x Khemoroyale by Khemosabi): National winner in halter. Dam of National & Scottsdale champions. Our mares come from world champion producing dam lines and National Champion sire lines. We have focused on bringing together a diverse group of bloodlines that can cross well into modern halter where we have a diminishing selection of top achieving sire lines to choose from. While our show ring wins important titles, we have never lost sight of what made us fall in love with horses: riding them and spending time with them. We place a high value on the ability of the Arabian horse to form deep connections with their human counterparts. We personally spend time with each one of our horses to ensure that we never lose connection. It is important that we produce competitive, quality, beautiful individuals and it is even more important that we continue to produce loving companions. "We love ourselves in the things we love. We find ourselves there, too" (Kristin Martz). Nothing could be dearer to me than the portions of my life that I share with horses. My husband and I have wrapped our lives around opportunities to enjoy our horses to the fullest: from modelling, to horse shows, to time at home raising our foals… we are never far from our passion. Follow us on social media under MLM Arabians to enjoy our adventures and watch for our upcoming superstars to be sired by some of our industry's greatest sires as well as our own: EKS Alihandro, Rhan Al Shahania, Dominic M, Ajman Moniscione, Artemas GA, EKS Farajj, WGA Rokhan, AO Breeze, and more.
