LOOKING FOR THE ULTIMATE ARABIAN SPORTHORSE?

Believing that performance is the heart of the Arabian horse, Payback Ranch Arabians strives to produce athletic individuals that will excel in most disciplines including hunter pleasure, western pleasure, dressage, cutting, working western, stock horse and endurance without a compromise in type---disciplines demanding strength, balance and soundness of mind. Sweet, honest dispositions are a must! Payback Ranch Arabians focuses on the top performance bloodlines from Al-Marah Arabians in Arizona and Shalimar Ranch in Nebraska---each program is almost 60 years old, and consistently producing high quality performance animals with sound minds and bodies. Our bloodlines are predominantly CMK, Crabbet-Blunt breeding with a blending of high percentage Raffles / Skowronek stock from the Alice Payne breeding program and Dr. Bill Munson s Shalimar Ranch in Harrison, Nebraska. These same bloodlines produce horses with superior NATURAL movement for most disciplines.
