Through
our daughter’s
love for horses
and more specifically
her love of her
Half Arabian gelding
named Heir Commander
or more affectionately, “Tom”,
Patty and John
Russell began
their own love
affair with horses.
Although All America
Equestrian Center
is home for many
breeds of horses,
it is the beauty,
the elegance,
the grace, the
intelligence,
and yes the magic
of the Arabian
horse that makes
this breed the
cornerstone of
the ranch.
Whenever
a new person comes
on to the property,
it is generally
the Arabian horses
that they are
initially drawn
to. And it is that
magical Arabian
horse that we
continue to seek
in the breeding
program that we
pursue. A big,
bold, beautiful foal
that will grow up to
be an intelligent, elegant,
and graceful performance
horse.
In addition
to a quality
breeding program,
the ranch hosts
clinics, boards
horses, and
provides many
arenas for horses
and riders.
We have arenas
for flat work
as well as jumping.
We have also
partnered with
the local school
district in an
effort to introduce “an
equestrian way
of life” to
elementary school
students through
an after-school
program. Students
learn to ride and enrich
their academic
skills (reading,
writing, and math)
in a way that
relates to the
horse.
This
program is both
fun and educational.
Add to the mix
mountain vistas
and a flowing
stream and we
have a unique
and beautiful
setting here
in the desert
foothills north
of Phoenix.
