Patti and Mike Scheier established Scheier Farms in the fall of 2003. They began their involvement in Arabians with two performance horses. Patti was immediately “hooked” on riding and showing, but Mike wanted something more. The Scheiers wanted to enjoy the horses on a deeper level and in 2003 they found a very, very special filly. With the help of Cathy Thompson, a wonderful Arabian horse breeder, Patti and Mike purchased the Versace daughter, Veronica GA. They had only seen the filly on a video and when the moment of truth finally came for the Scheiers to meet her, it was love at first sight. A year later, the Scheiers attended their very first U.S. National Cham-
pionships. Nothing like starting at the top – their beloved Veronica GA won the title of 2004 US National Champion Futurity Filly! But this beautiful mare had even greater gifts in store for the Scheiers. In 2005, Veronica was bred to the legendary sire Gazal Al Shaqab (Anaza El Farid x Kajora). The Scheiers may have questioned if their luck would continue when Veronica’s very first foal was a colt. But any question was quickly answered by the extreme quality and type of Veronica’s new foal. The Scheiers named him SF Veraz, and in a very short time he has established himself as sire of incredibly beautiful, correct, and exciting offspring. Continued...
V sf Veraz An Arabian Aristocrat
V sf Veraz
SF Veraz is now six-yearsold and he is a towering example of pure Arabian masculine energy, extraordinary beauty, and aristocratic character. Naturally, Veraz drew great attention here in the U.S. and around the world. A stallion with this level of potential needed and deserved a dedicated, experienced team to support him and the Scheiers chose internationally respected Arabian horseman Ted Carson to head their team. Patti Scheier explained their decision, “We were introduced to Ted and were impressed with his genuine sincerity and honesty. Sometimes it seemed he was even a little too honest – but that level of integrity proved to us that we could trust Ted with Veraz. We wanted to be assured that Veraz would never be pushed, that he would
be treated with patience and kindness. We believe Ted and and his staff treat Veraz as if he was theirs. Their attitude has created a sense of partnership that we truly appreciate.� Veraz stands with Ted Carson at Butler Farms Training Center in North Carolina. The support Veraz has received from the team at BFTC has provided him with everything he needed to shine like the super star that he is. Although Veraz is still a very young sire, the response from breeders has been outstanding and Veraz has consistently delivered exceptional results. In 2011, Ted showed the Veraz son Conviction CA, out of Denalia by Besson Carol, bred by Edwin Crain, to the titles of U.S. National Champion Yearling Gelding and U.S. National Supreme Champion Junior Gelding.

This year the Veraz offspring are off to a sensational show season. His daughter Jullye Al Gazal XX, out of Beautiful Juell V, by Juellyen El Jamaal, made her show ring debut to huge acclaim when she stole the show and earned the prestigeous titles of 2012 Unanimous Scottsdale International Gold Champion Yearling Filly and Unanimous Scottsdale International Gold Champion Junior Filly. Next, Jullye Al Gazal XX, bred and owned by Larry Schopf, is heading to the Arabian Breeders World Cup in Las Vegas, Nevada. According to Patti Scheier, everyday she and Mike thank their lucky stars for the horses and friends they have in their lives. “We have been fortunate to meet some very spe-
cial people through the horses. When we were just beginning to get involved, we met Sam Peacemaker and his family. They were so generous with their time and insights. Many nights were spent over dinner, discussing the horses, into the wee hours of the morning. When Sam and his family visited us, they fell in love with Veronica. They later purchased her in 2008.The Peacemakers love Veronica just as much as we do, and they have continued her legacy with incredible success. We retained embryo rights to Veronica and so it seems like we are one big family! We appreciate the interest of breeders everywhere who have chosen SF Veraz for their mares and we wish them all the joy that Veraz has given to us.�
