About Us
We specialise in breeding black Arabians but our priorities are temperament and correct conformation. An outcome of our breeding policy over the past 40 years has been the production of top-level endurance Arabians.
The stud was founded in Cumbria, England, in 1977 by Fiona Walling, with two Arabian mares of English breeding. NARRISA (Naidarus / Risnab) and ROYAL GAYZA (Harwood Asif / Silver). From 1980 the stud began specialising in breeding black.
In 1996 Cumbria Arabians relocated to Over Whitlaw Farm in the beautiful Scottish Borders, previously one of the most successful racing stables in Scotland under trainer Bobby Fairburn. There the Arabians are kept naturally running on ground at 700’ – 1000’ – an ideal environment to produce fit athletic youngstock, well-balanced in mind and body.
