About us

 

ARJO Breeders is a small, family owned and operated facility specializing in the breeding of reining and performance horses. We believe in keeping the operation small, but producing quality babies, each of whom has the potential to be a world-class competitor.

We have been involved in showing American Quarter Horses for the better part of 20 years, and have been involved in reining and the National Reining Horse Association for the past 10 years. Our broodmare band, although small, is comprised of individuals with stellar show records in their respective events. Two are multiple bronze-winning mares who have been in the NRHA Top Ten standings (one in Limited Non Pro and one in the Open division), one of these mares was qualified for the 1999 USET Reining Championships and has earned her NRHA Silver Certificate, and the other has earned her NRHA Gold Certificate. The third mare, although not shown in NRHA events, has earned over $2,500 in the cattle events: penning, sorting, non-sanctioned cow horse classes. She was a member of both the Championship and Reserve Championship teams of the U.S.T.P.A.'s 1995 Eastern States Classic. We carefully choose the stallions we breed to, based on their records, pedigrees and demeanors.

We have spent a lot of time, both in the saddle and behind the scenes, bringing ARJO Breeders' program to a level where we are proud to offer our babies for your consideration. We give them daily attention - they are all halter and lead broke, have had their feet handled, have been introduced to clippers, and have all been trailered. They are truly well-mannered individuals who are eager to learn and eager to please.

All of the babies are nominated to the Atlantic Breeders Incentive Program (ABI), as well as to the National Reining Breeders' Classic (NRBC) . We are proud members of the National Reining Horse Association (NRHA), United States Equestrian Team (USET), American Quarter Horse Association (AQHA), American Paint Horse Association (APHA), Eastern Pennsylvania Reining Horse Association (EPRHA), and Southeast Reining Horse Association (SERHA).

ARJO Breeders has relocated to its new facility in Smithfield, North Carolina. We are conveniently located to Interstate 95 (4 miles off Exit 93), and would be happy to be your "stop-over" point when traveling. Give us a call or stop by and visit!
