Who's on the farm?

Known for their striking appearance, Arabian horses have captivated human hearts for centuries. With their dished faces, high-set tails, and delicately arched necks, these magnificent creatures exude an aura of regality and enchantment. In Western Kentucky, they find solace in their natural habitat, where they can express their innate instincts and display their extraordinary athletic abilities.

The free grazing system practiced at Lapco Arabians allows our horses to live in harmony with their surroundings. Large expanses of lush green pastures provide them with ample space to gallop, play, and form social bonds with their fellow equines. This environment fosters their physical well-being, promoting a healthy lifestyle and natural development.
Observing a herd of Arabian horses in their natural setting is truly a sight to behold. As they graze peacefully, their coats glisten under the warm Kentucky sun, reflecting the harmony that exists between these magnificent creatures and the land they call home. Their graceful movements and powerful strides showcase their agility, a testament to their genetic prowess and centuries of selective breeding.

Western Kentucky's climate and abundant natural resources create an ideal habitat for Arabian horses. The region's mild winters and temperate summers offer year-round comfort, allowing the horses to thrive in their environment. Because Arabian ancestors are from deserts with scarce food, this breed actually requires less feed than other breeds their size to maintain a healthy weight. The rich soil yields nutritious grasses, providing the necessary sustenance for these majestic animals to maintain their vibrant health and spirited energy. Our handlers provide them with ample scoops of energy-dense feed grains and alfalfa (a premier forage legume) twice a day. It's safe to say our horses enjoy their robust diet of fresh grass, quality hay, grains, and the occasional treat of a fruit or vegetable.

This unique interaction between Arabian horses and their environment also presents an opportunity for humans to connect with these incredible creatures. Visitors and locals alike can witness the horses in their element, offering an educational and awe-inspiring experience. Observing their behavior, understanding their herd dynamics, and witnessing their natural instincts firsthand can deepen one's appreciation for the profound bond between humans and animals.

Beyond their visual appeal, Arabian horses possess an inherent intelligence, loyalty, and gentle temperament that have earned them a special place in the hearts of horse enthusiasts worldwide. Their presence in Western Kentucky serves as a reminder of the enduring legacy of these magnificent creatures, preserving their heritage and inspiring future generations to cherish and protect our world and the place these animals call home.
