Since
We Began on June 17, 1998
Special
Announcement
I
apologize to everyone who utilizes the
*Naborr website and the Message Board for
my lack of updates during the past couple
of years.
On February 21, 2002, I lost my beloved
*Naborr son MADRYBORR, exactly one week
before his 24th birthday. The tears are
running down my face as I type this. You
would think that I would have recovered by
now, but I really haven't. Madz was my
soul mate for 19 years, and nothing in my
life or on my farm has been the same since
he left.
I could not bear to look at this website,
to try to update it, or even to read the
Message Board. Lots of folks sent me
e-mails related to their *Naborr-bred
horses, and most of the time I did not
reply for the same reasons. I just
couldn't. I'm sorry.
I have owned and bred Arabian horses since
1978--that's 26 years now. I was an
enthusiastic participant in everything
Arabian for so many years. I used to go to
all the shows, including the Nationals and
Scottsdale many times, and I traveled the
country to go to Arabian horse auctions
and visit Arabian farms everywhere. I
thought it would go on forever.
But everything changed when I lost
Madryborr. In the past couple years I have
also lost some of my other favorite horses
and donkeys (I breed donkeys, too). Many
were getting old, and some I had since the
very beginning. The past two winters here
in Maine have been brutally cold. On some
days the high temperature was 17 below
zero with very strong winds. Doing the
farm chores day after day, alone, and
without my best buddies turned into a
burden instead of fun. Although I still
love my animals, I simply cannot continue
at the same level as in the past, and I am
also 26 years older now.
So, I have made a sad and difficult
decision. With the exception of a few
favorite horses including my 27-year-old
*Naborr daughter, I am going to sell most
of my Arabians, some of my donkeys, and my
two mules.
I have one Khemosabi daughter in her early
20's, and everyone else is *Naborr
related, some granddaughters and
grandsons, most double or even triple
*Naborr. A few are young, but most are in
their teens and early 20's but still
breedable. They are in pasture condition
and I want to sell them in buddy-groups if
possible. Good homes not too far from
Maine are important, since some have only
trailered once or not at all. I have two
stallions and 6 or 7 mares, all beautiful
and very well bred (*Salon, *Serafix,
Ferseyn, Abu Farwa, etc.). They are
reasonably priced.
If anyone is interested, please
e-mail
me directly for further information.
I plan to update this website somewhat,
but it may not grow into what I had
originally envisioned. I just don't have
the free time to devote, but I will
continue to pay the operating expenses
(about $150 a year since 1998) to keep it
alive. The pages will be updated
gradually, so please disregard irrelevant
or outdated information.
I thank all of you for your patronage over
the years and for the nice comments I have
received via e-mail, the Guest Book, and
the Message Board.
