Dedicated to preserving the heritage and quality of the purebred Arabian horse

Fred L. Ward Jr.

Fred L. Ward Jr. bred Arabian horses for over 50 years. Based in Port Orchard, WA, for the past 40 years, he discovered a passion for the breed through spending time with family and their horses in Wisconsin from early childhood.

The breeding program at Fred Ward's Mariah Arabians focused on height, conformation, athletic ability, good disposition, and preservation of classic desert-bred bloodlines. The horses were pasture and stall raised with individual attention and handled from birth.

He showed his horses extensively over the years with many ribbons and plaques. The list below includes his more recent horses.

Breeding Philosophy

Fred's goal was to breed tall Egyptian Arabians that excelled at halter, Western and English pleasure. Fred selected breeding stock for beauty, height, and intelligence.

Most of his horses were pasture raised and stalled nightly, received regular veterinary and farrier care, and were started under saddle at an appropriate age. Fred loved his horses and didn't want to sell them. He is missed.
