2019 In Loving Memory: We are sad to announce the loss of our beloved foundation broodmare, Eskada Yasmine (Moniet El Sharaf x Toofah). A wonderful mother to eight beautiful foals; three colts and five fillies. All with loads of classic Arabian type, friendly dispositions, straight legs, rich color and terrific athletic movement. Most winning titles in Halter, Most Classic Head, Endurance Racing, Hunt Seat, Western Pleasure and Hunter/Jumper classes; at Class A Horse Shows, Open Breed Shows and the prestigious Egyptian Event USA! She was my first teacher of many life lessons, truly a visitors favorite and cherished by all...it is with great heartfelt sadness to let her go after thirty-two years of love and memories. Yasmine now lies resting under her favorite tree in the summer pasture; and will always be remembered! “Until we meet again my blessing…may you gallop in the lush green fields of heaven!” ~ All My Love, Letta |

2020 News...the year of the Covid-19 Pandemic!
In all the chaos of the COVID-19 pandemic, Cressant Hill Arabians remained a calm private refuge from every day life. Focus was placed on our faith and finding harmony in all God’s creations. The horses enjoyed the year of relaxed atmosphere and just taking a break from it all. Which is what we all must do from time to time; to heal, to grow, to center our energy and focus on the important things in life that REALLY matter. If an Arabian horse is your calling...please contact Letta for great education and mentoring. |
