After enjoying a very successful halter show career, which included numerous Junior and Grand Champion Stallion wins, and taking home the blue in the “Most Classic Arabian” class, Santa Fe Bey began his performance career. His gorgeous appearance coupled with his incredible, fluid movement, suited him very well as he developed into an exceptional Western Pleasure horse.      Under the capable hands of nationally-acclaimed trainer, Josh Quintus, of Colonial Wood Training Center in Arlington, Texas, Santa Fe Bey racked up blue after blue during the 2004 show season. The pair were named Champion, Western Pleasure Open at the Cowtown Classic in Ft. Worth, TX, and the Greater Kansas City Spring Fling in Sedalia, MO. Santa Fe Bey and Josh then went on to claim a Top 5 in Western Pleasure Open at the very tough 2004 Region 11 Championship Show in Springfield, Illinois.     Santa Fe Bey is passing on to his offspring his kind disposition, his incredible movement, balanced conformation, exceptional rear-leg angulation, length of neck, and then placing his pretty tipped ears onto beautiful heads. Santa Fe Bey’s foals are consistently an improvement over each and every mare he breeds. Because his babies are so beautiful, people often mistake Santa Fe Bey’s Half Arabian offspring for Purebreds.      Santa Fe Bey’s sons and daughters have hit the show ring by storm, and are being shown successfully in multiple disciplines. His foals have won countless Jr. Championships and Futurity Championships in halter, received extremely high scores in Sport-Horse-in-Hand (and the blue ribbons to go along with those scores), and have never been beat in Get of Sire classes. His offspring are now beginning to be shown under saddle, and their accomplishments are incredible! B Joaquin Bey, was named Champion Western Pleasure Junior Horse at the Houston All Arabian Show in 2004. Santa Fe Savanah received top honors at the Region 8 Sport Horse Championships in 2005, bringing home Top 5 ribbons in HA/AA Sport Horse in Hand ATH, and HA/AA Hunter Hack Open. At his very first show, the 3-year old Santa Fe Suede, (trained by Josh Quintus) was named Champion HA/AA Hunter Pleasure Jr. Horse at the 2005 Mayfest Challenge in Ft. Worth. Only a few short weeks later, Suede and Josh went on to earn a Top 5 at the 2005 Region 9 Championships in HA/AA Hunter Pleasure Jr. Horse. And, that was only Suede’s second show!!! B Joaquin Bey    Santa Fe Bey’s pedigree is filled with champions and producers of champions, and it is quite apparent that these champion bloodlines are breeding true. Santa Fe Bey’s lineage is about one- half Polish, through *Bask, Comet, *Witez II, Bad Afas and Amurath Sahib. The balance is comprised of some of the best of Crabbet and old Egyptian bloodlines. This cross has been the foundation of the extremely successful halter and performance horse breeding programs of Varian Arabians, Lasma Arabians and others.      Standing 15.1 hands, Santa Fe Bey is an AHA Breeders Sweepstakes Nominated Sire. He is SCID clear, and transported, cooled semen is available. Frozen semen will be available beginning with the 2006 breeding season. Unfortunately, he is not homozygous for the black gene, but is producing about 40% black foals.       We welcome visitors at the Double JK Ranch, and invite inquiries on the several beautiful Santa Fe Bey foals which are available for purchase. We believe that Santa Fe Bey is destined to become one of the premier black Arabian sires in the country!! Foals of Santa Fe Bey               Recent Show Results
