Stella Bella celebrates 2023 U.S. National Championships

We’re home safe and sound from a tremendous 2023 United States National Championships. Stella Bella Arabians was so very well represented this year across an array of classes – one of very few farms at the show whose home bred horses captured the top spots in both Halter and Performance competition. Now more than ever are we seeing the absolute importance of form to function to further our breed and lead into the future.

Congratulations to everyone on an outstanding show that highlights and showcases the Arabian and Half-Arabian horse on such a level not found anywhere else in the world. Thankful and grateful are just some of the words that come to mind upon reflection.

Our proud achievements…
