Arenosa a little background
Arenosa was the farm name of the excellent 55 year breeding program of the late Audrey Barrett of Texas. Audrey worked diligently to improve her Shetland Ponies by breeding carefully and selectively to produce the small, double registered quality Arenosa stock. Audrey linebred 2 half brothers Kewpies Topper of Arenosa and Kewpie Doll Diablo to her quality mares. These brothers both were son's of Kewpie Doll's Oracle a 39" black and white stallion foaled in 1950. Kewpie Doll Oracle was a top sire "He certainly had the ability to transmit quality," Audrey Barrett said of Kewpie Doll Oracle. "To see him move was a joy to behold. He passed that down, too." Arenosa horses have influenced both the Shetland and Miniature horse breeds with their exotic good looks and natural movement. The Arenosa line is typically upright, with a long neck, clean throatlatch and beautifully chiseled heads. |
