Wit and Wisdom From Our Early Breeders: Marianne and Richard Hatfield.
Marianne and Dick started their lives together in June 1951. Their Arabian horse interest was obvious even then. A few months later, they gave each other Bint Treyf (Alyf x Treyf by *Nasik), bred by Kellogg Arabian Ranch, who continued to play an important role in the Hatfield family life, by Mary Jane Parkinson

2019 Tevis Cup
The drama of the Tevis, as expressed by Gwen Hall: “The six miles from Lower Quarry to the finish line I got motion sickness riding in the dark. I thought I would fall out of the saddle. But Dakar worked to stay under me; he is so amazing! We walked at least four of the last six miles in, all because of my vertigo. I was astonished to find out we still placed eighth!” Read more stories of sheer grit in our Tevis coverage, by Genie Stewart-Spears
