SLEEPING GYPSY ARABIANS

Our philosophy at SGA is that a good Arabian must first be a good horse.

We believe that breed type is essential for an Arabian to be a good Arabian - 
but not at the expense of good conformation.
We look for a refined head, with large eyes and small neat ears and a neck with exceptional arch. A short, strong back and long, broad hindquarter; good tail carriage, and most importantly - light, free, powerful action, with a long ground covering stride.

To our minds, a good Arabian needs to be a sound useful horse that can fulfil a role as a performance animal. We place strong emphasis on legs and feet and overall good conformation.
Temperament is a prime consideration for us.
Our horses have to be good natured and easy to live with on a day to day basis.

Our bloodlines have trandtionally been based o the great foundation of the BOSTOCKS Stud and it's great breeding lines. Like the principles of that great stud however we do not slavishly restrict our program to lines only previously used within that stud. We endevour to preserve the great lines of Bostocks by linebreeding combined with judicious outcrossing to stock that themselves echo the qualities of good structure, excellent temperament and great movement of those lines.

Our Arabians have been used for pursuits such as stock work, pleasure riding, racing and endurance. At the same time they have also been shown at halter - in a non-professional capacity - to take significant placings at major shows. Over the last several years all our stock sold have gone too saddle and endurance homes where they are performing well in rides both here and overseas.

If this is the type of Arabian horse that you are interested in - or are looking for - then come in and browse around. We have some high quality stallions available at stud - and occasionally have sound, well conformed and well grown stock for sale. A visit to meet the horses with advance notice is always welcome.
