The broodmare barns are operated by Raven Lockwood, Latasha and Westley Atwood. The stables house our breeding mares and their foals all year around, throughout the mares pregnancy, and until the foal is old enough to be sold or moved to a paddock for our younger generation horses in training. Some mares are still used for competition horses and therefor do not breed as often as the others but mostly our broodmares were taken out of the show ring and are now strictly for breeding or pleasure riding purposes. Currently SEAS Bay Watch and SEAS Mistrez are the only two of our mares who still compete in competitions as well as contribute to our breeding stock. There are occasions where some of our mares will be used for private lessons for children or new riders as we require a certain temperament in a horse for teaching new riders.
Nina Balkeshlov is our resident trainer who manages the show stables and is in charge of the training and showing of our competition horses that are a part of our breeding stock as well as horses whom are not. No horse can compete without Nina's ok after a thorough examination of the horses mental stability. Nina also breaks and trains the younger generation of horses before they are of age to breed or compete.

Straight Egyptian Arabian Stud is a state of the art facility stretching over two hundred acres of lush farmland within close proximity to the ocean where we love to take long rides with our beloved horses. Our facilities include four separate stables, each with twenty stalls, a feed room, and a well stocked tack room. We also have a washing station as well as a quiet place in the barn for when the farrier pays a visit, large open paddocks for our horses to run free as well as personal turnouts for each individual stall. We have a fully functioning indoor and out door training arena for dressage and hunter/jumper riding accompanied with a separate training arena for the young bloods hoping to become future hunter/jumpers. Currently we have a race track under construction for those of our horses who just love to run.
Our Stud barn houses all of our illustrious Stallions at stud. Our stallions are put through a vigorous daily routine of training, scheduled feedings and stable time with their own personal turnout, as well as time to run in the large pastures we have strictly for our stallions, far away from the mares. We have our own veterinarian for our stallions only and are provided with weekly vet checks to ensure the horses are in exceptional health. Our stallions continuously compete in competitions tailored to their specific disciplines. All of our stallions are breed registered and will be registered with their specific disciplines, if not already. Our stallions are up for stud at any time, unless posted otherwise on their profile or in the forums on the home page. We do lease our stallions for competitions upon approval of a filled out application.
