Carolina  Carolina

EFF Laurel's Carolina+ is a stunning grey mare sired by an old Crabbet Arabian (Numerology), now deceased and Windsor Farm Eleanor.  She resides at Pebble Beach, CA, and has been trained for dressage, and has done very well, recently achieving the Legion of Honor for Half Arabians in dressage.  She shows you what these Shire Arabian crosses can do.  Heidi Lanners calls them Shirabs and searching indicates that there are very few of them being bred.  Usually Shires are crossed with TB's and now with Gypsies for Drums.

 


 

 

Laurel's Baby Georgia   

Laurel's Baby Georgia is a bay mare sired by a 3/4 Andalusian 1/4 QH (foundation Azteca) whose dam is Laurel's Victoria.  She is now old enough to be started in dressage and is obviously much loved by her owner Danielle. Take a look at that gorgeous neck and Iberian head.
