Hennessey Arabians celebrates 2023 U.S. National Success!

We take great pride in producing beautiful Arabian horses that bring joy to many people on many different levels. Whether your interests are under the bright lights of the National show arena or riding out to the sunsets on the back trails across the United States, Hennessey Arabians continues to breed with passion, and with integrity. It is an enormous commitment, and no easy feat, to breed excellent horses where great thought goes into each of our breeding decisions.

This year at the 2023 United States National Championships in Tulsa, Oklahoma was an excellent representation of Hennessey Arabians. Our program was very well represented with many horses either bred by our farm, sired by our stallions, and/or out of our mares claiming the top spots in all of the major disciplines. Competing for top honors at one of the finest Arabian horse shows in the world is no easy feat and we’re incredibly proud at the immense success.

We offer our sincerest congratulations to each and every owner and breeder who has chosen a part of our breeding program to enjoy their Arabian horse journey with.

“My husband, Joe, and Jon Ramsay and I went to Ocala last February to see H Dream On H , aka “Leo” at Peri’s . He was just 3 and a full sibling to Don’t Stop B-Lieven. I have been a huge fan of Don’t Stop B-Lieven ever since I saw him in Tulsa a few years ago. And, the “H” horses have always been stand outs in the show pen, so it seemed like a good time to go see the tall, lanky redhead in Ocala. After watching him in the bullpen just under saddle, we knew he was special like his brother. And boy has he delivered!

It has been really rewarding to watch him develop and mature. He is one spectacular hunter. He has the perfect frame and stride —coupled with a willing , can-do attitude. He’s really soft, he just glides and covers ground effortlessly-so elegant. We were thrilled to hear his name called out in Tulsa as the 2023 H/A Hunter Pleasure Futurity National Champion with Jon.

Next year “Leo” will compete in the AHPA National Championship as a 4 year old, and if I’m lucky enough, I’ll be showing him in the amateur maturity, too. We are grateful to Hennessey Arabians for breeding such a great one! They have delivered quality horses for many years . We are fortunate to own a Hennessey bred horse now, too. I am also showing Leo’s big brother , Don’t Stop B-Lieven . He is one of the coolest hunters I’ve ever seen. Absolute perfection! And what a blast to ride. It’s like driving a Ferrari—so much power and presence. Thanks to Hennessey Arabians for producing these two amazing hunters!”

“I’ve always believed in Justin and it took me a bit to figure things out , but we did and he happily was a huge success at US Nationals. U.S. National Champion Performance Gelding Halter and Top Ten in the Jackpot Hunter Pleasure. He’s a dolly, kind and our family loves him. I had Kim Morgan help Brook work him in halter and I was so happy Kim could be on his victory pictures because she too always believed in him. I appreciate Linda Rutledge for having and working with me helping him and now he’s on his way to much success. We love him!”

I saw Saved By The Bell in the pasture and just had a feeling. I thank George and Frank so much for giving me the opportunity to own him. As with all young horses I wondered what he would become. He has surpassed all my hopes and is literally in my 50 years in Arabians been what I was looking for. He is so animated and game and every ride is exciting.
