Fully Licensed A.I. Centre for all your breeding needs
We offer Natural Cover, and A.I. fresh or chilled semen within the U.K.
We can offer stable facilities for early visiting mares.

We also offer a custom breeding programme tailor made to meet your needs using our stallions and mares. A deposit secures the foal, the mare stays with us and we deliver a live foal on weaning. This is a great way to breed without the worries and hassles. Contact us for more information.

   Performance Arabians has a superb collection of exotic, rare and unique Arabian Sports Horses and Ponies. We are proud to boast one of the best selections of quality bred pinto or coloured Arabians, with a high percentage of Arabian blood, anywhere. We started breeding coloured or pinto Arabians because they are so unique and eye catching. Whilst the white or 'Sabino' gene does exist in Pure bred Arabians (which lets horses such as Picaso Kossac to be registered as a 'coloured' horse in the U.K.)A, the Tobiano (or Pinto) colour gene does not. Pinto Arabians, or Pintarabians are eye catching and exotic. That said, breeding quality horses is our first objective, colour is a bonus.

   With the Pinto or Coloured Arabian, you can easily enter 5 or 6 classes in a single show. Our Arabian bred Sports Horses have proven time and time again that the Arabian is a natural athlete with style, grace, beauty, intelligence and staying power. Whether it is coloured, novice, hunter/pony, partbred, light horse or open classes, this new breed of Arabian has proven time and again they have the winning 'Wow' factor. Turning heads and changing attitudes, the Pinto Arab is an ambassador and credit to the breed. Judge Robert Goldie on our Incandescent Flame, "He oozes Arabian quality and is beautifully marked, with a typical Arab head". He is not alone in his stating this.

    Not only do we breed Pinto Arabians, but we also breed Palomino Arabians. We stand our own cremello stallion, Roundhills Crystal King, at public stud. 'Obake', his stable name, at the age of 3, already has 1 colt foal and has covered 2 mares this year by A.I.

   For more than 20 years our focus has been to produce Arabian Sport Horses which can compete and win in a wide range of disciplines. It takes years, patience, and determination to develop such a breeding programme. You have to be focused on what you want to achieve and not vere away from that. We never bred just for the sake of breeding, or to get colour, but for a certain type of horse, with specific traits, that would excel in the show ring as well as having the ability to compete.

    We are proud of our horses and are glad to provide you with a biography, pedigree and photographs upon request. Visitors are welcome anytime by appointment. We look forward to hearing from you, and thank you for taking the time to visit our site.
