I first fell in love with the Shagya breed in 1990.As a pre-vet/Equine Science student at ColoradoStateUniversity I spent a summer working at Adele’s Shagyas in Montana as an intern.I had never heard of the breed.Adele had read about the breed in the mid 80’s and imported 5 Shagyas from Europe.I handled both *Oman and *Shandor for breeding and was so impressed with their temperament.I knew I would have to have one someday.
In 2003 I finally decided it was time to buy a Shagya of my own.I contacted Adele to purchase a Shagya.I wanted an *Oman daughter bred to *Shandor and Adele had a weanling stallion prospect that fit the bill.I was unsure of getting a stallion, but went ahead with it.Sterling Silver AF was the first Shagya here in So Cal.He is a dream to work with.I now also co-own a Shagya mare and look forward to having my first purebred Shagya born in 2008.
