Three Palms
Arabians Named "Discovery Farm"
by
the Arabian Horse Association
Three
Palms Arabians is pleased to announce that it has been named a "Discovery Farm" by
the Arabian Horse Association (AHA). AHA is the official breed association
and registry for Arabian, Half-Arabian and Anglo-Arabian horses in the United
States with more than 40,000 members. Discovery Farms is a unique program which offers visitors the opportunity to explore Arabian horses up close and personal. Three Palms Arabians is one of only nine Discovery Farms located in the state of South Carolina.
Discovery Farm participants offer a relaxed, no-pressure, non-sales
atmosphere where visitors can learn all about the breed and their characteristics,
and gain first hand knowledge of just how truly special the Arabian breed is.
Historically, the Arabian has maintained a reputation as the horse of beauty,
intelligence, courage, endurance, and romance. Because they were bred and reared
in close contact with the Bedouins of the Desert Arabia and existed in mutual
inter-dependence, they developed an unequaled ability to bond with humans.
Most people have read of this celebrated relationship in Walter Farley's beloved
series of Black Stallion books.
As a breeding and training facility, Three Palms
Arabians offers visitors a chance to see different ages of Arabians from newborn
foals to geriatric horses in their golden years. Three Palms Arabians has representatives
from different Arabian bloodlines and strains, including offspring of the 1991
Salon du Cheval World Champion and 2006 Salon du Cheval Reserve World Champion
as well as US National Champions and Reserve Champions. There are even two
half-siblings to the horse that played the role of The Young Black Stallion in
the 2003 movie.
Three Palms Arabians is owned by Patricia and Gunnar Palm. The
farm is located on the historic site of Magnolia Hall Plantation in the town
of Hagood, South Carolina. They breed, train, and show world class straight
Egyptian Arabian horses, and focus on introducing newcomers to the Arabian
breed. Three Palms Arabians is also a participant in the Arabian Horse Association
Mentor Network. For more information click on the links to the left or contact
