Cre Run Farm - A Stalwart in Breeding

Cre Run is an unusual name for a farm. What is its meaning? The name actually is a shortened version of "Creating Runners" and defines what we do - specifically creating Arabian racehorses.

With all the success you've had as a breeder, could you tell us about the physical qualities do you look for in a mare and stallion to breed? I have always wanted to keep as much type in my breeding program as possible. Maybe not as much as the show world, but I want to still be able to tell that they are Arabians. I look for overall balance, correct legs, a strong shoulder and a powerful hip. Like many people, I divide the horse into three segments looking at overall balance. The shoulder and wither is very important because typically 60% of a horse’s weight is carried on the front end. If you have a huge rear end, but not much shoulder, the front may not be able to keep up.
