Renaissance Arabians is a labor of love. I started out as a horse crazy kid with a half Arabian mare at age nine. I did the usual 4-H shows and my love for horses continues to grow.
Graduating from The Ohio State University in 1983 with a B.S. Degree in Animal Science majoring in Equine Reproductive Physiology and Nutrition, I went to work for Richard Prizlaff in New Mexico as the farm manager. Richard Pritzlaff was the first to import Nazeer get into the United States from Egypt in 1958. The experience cemented my love for the Egyptian bloodlines. In 1984, I headed for Indiana and worked for Zahara Arabian Stud as breeding manager where the beautiful Ruminaja Ali stood. I was with Zahara for seven years and when the farm closed in 1990, I, along with my father, Barrett Myers, started Renaissance Arabians.
I obtained my judges card in 2004 (I swear it was easier to obtain a college degree) and like most of my peers, judge's school has helped me to be more critical in selecting a new horse or make a breeding decision. I am also an avid student of bloodlines and I feel that a successful show horse will be a complete package, well bred to do a certain job, beautiful, talented, and smart.
I do breed quite a few straight Egyptians and I love them for their type and for the grace and beauty that is so revered in our breed. Most of the bloodlines that I have are Ansata and Pritzlaff. I have some mares that are the last in their line. In terms of preservationist breeding for Egyptians, I have some truly treasured mares.
I continue to refine my vision for Renaissance Arabians. I hope to be able to create a few really nice English prospects each year and continue to pursue the art of breeding the Egyptian Arabian horse.
