We couldn’t do this without your friendship, advice, and efforts. You are a dear friend and every ounce of our program’s success is related to what you’ve shared and helped on behalf of this amazing breed. Thank you!!!! I love you like a sister (an older sister)!

Carolina Rainbow

Rainbow was the first pure mare we acquired (along with her daughter, Venus BV). Rainbow is a saint, truly. The picture here was a few days after she took an orphaned foal at a month of age while also nursing and caring for her six week old colt. Rainbow has retired from breeding, but serves as a nanny to weaned foals annually to supplement her pension check.

So So Many Others…

It truly takes a tribe to keep us moving forward.

Dr. Mitchell Rode and Alison… We have spent so much time together that you’ve become family. Clarke Equine handles most of our reproduction work plus lots more. Breeding horses can be tricky. Breeding Clevelands is COMPLEX. Dr. Rode’s experience with our herd and our breed is incomparable.

Dr. Moira Nusbaum/Penmar Equine team… Thank you for being a part of family and not hesitating to take a call at any hour and venturing out to help. On November 3, 2013, you were my biggest hero and I’ll NEVER forget that.

Amanda, thank you for choosing to ride our horses with Marcia. We are incredibly grateful. You’ve become a part of the Bella Vista family and we look forward to many, many years of horse fun and friendship.

The many students who have ridden our horses over the years… Thank you! Your efforts allow riders to see the potential of horses as they consider investing in a partner.
