DOING BUSINESS
with a
DIFFERENT APPROACH
Dedication Butler Farms Training Center, Inc. is an Arabian horse enterprise that exists today due to the steadfast support of farm owners and business partners Frances and Cecil Butler and the relentless ambition of co-owner and manager Ted Carson. The joint effort began over 17 years ago...
Ted is not content to be a great trainer. He has taken it upon himself to learn all aspects of the breed. He never quits learning, and I admire that most about him. 窶認rances Butler
The Butlers have created and continue to enhance one of the most spectacular equestrian facilities in the country on their 450 acre estate that is home to our operation. —Ted Carson
Authenticity
My own success, realistically, is something much deeper than acquiring another trophy. It is about the horses: the opportunity and ability to select and work with each individual, and then present that horse at its optimum for an audience to enjoy. —Ted Carson

Although each win has importance, a win or the lack thereof should not define your character. It is ultimately about the ability to enjoy the horses and the journey that they enable us to live. —Ted Carson

The ideal Arabian program is a balance of breeding, purchasing, and showing bloodstock. This ensures that your entire program remains fresh and competitive. —Ted Carson
Relationships We value the relationships made possible through these animals. Each accomplishment is the result of a collective effort among the breeders, owners, my partners (the Butlers), and my staff, headed by Cory Byrne and Brooke Fuchs. —Ted Carson
The Butler team of owners, employees, and clients support exhibitors across disciplines and promote success in both the halter and performance arenas. 4 • TED CA R SON AT BU TLER FA R MS
We still have the first client we had when Ted walked into the barn 17 years ago with one horse. That long term status is common here. These days, newer faces as well make a good mix, with friendships being born from a common interest in Arabian horses. —Frances Butler
We are very grateful to the breeders and owners who support us. —Ted Carson
