Belesemo Arabian Ranch is the result of the dreams of a horse crazy girl that really did come true. Started in 1972 with the purchase of a 6 month old arabian colt as a 16 yr. old girl’s birthday present, it has evolved 32 years later into the breeding program it is today.
The arabian colt, foundation sire Belesemo Trad, became the basis for the Crabbet/Maynesboro/Kellogg breeding program. Trad’s blood runs in all 2nd, 3rd and 4th generation Belesemo horses currently on or produced at the ranch today. Trad truly was the “horse of a lifetime, in a lifetime of horses”, and the reason for there being a Belesemo Arabian Ranch. The ranch’s dam lines revolved around seven Abu Farwa granddaughters and one direct Abu Farwa daughter that were all acquired in old age. These mares were able to contribute one or two foals to the breeding program before permanent retirement. It is these bloodlines and resultant offspring that make up the dominant breeding of Belesemo arabian horses.
As lifelong Idaho residents, our ranch is nestled in the
beautiful Treasure Valley of Idaho, amidst the vineyard and fruit growing
plains of the Snake River. Our horses are raised in large, open pastures that
allow them maximum room to exercise and run free to grow up naturally. They
are not raised in restricted growing spaces, but allowed to grow up living "out",
with daily human interaction. They are indeed the quintessential "family
or tent horse".
