Welcome to our Farm!
Cherokee Ranch started with a little girls dream. There is nothing better than to be able to live your passion. Cherokee Ranch/Cherokee Arabians was born, breeding Straight Egyptian Arabians, Arabians, and Paints. Being of Native American descent, I have strived to keep true to the Native American discriminative breeding practices; Beautiful athletic horses, great conformation coupled with willing trainable minds. The passion for the American Paint Horse, I come by quite honestly. The Native Americans believe they are a gift from the Great Spirit.
A beautiful Half-Arabian bay mare was my first horse. Once being around these majestic horses, I can't imagine ever being without them.

THE EXQUISITE ARABIAN
From the ancient deserts of the Middle East evolved the oldest known breed of riding horse the Arabian. Even King Solomon, in all his wisdom,"...had horses brought out of Egypt." And he had"...forty thousand stalls of horses for his chariots and twelve thousand horsemen." Indeed, the heritage of the Egyptian Arabian evokes images of classic beauty and heroic gallantry. It is easy to understand why they have been admired and sought after by Kings, Pharaohs, and mankind throughout the ages. The Egyptian Arabian horse has been valued as an extremely productive source of the classic refinement for which the Arabian breed is well-known. Trace in every line of its pedigree to horses born in Arabia Deserta. Because the Arabian was bred and reared in close contact with man from the earliest records, the Arabian developed an unequaled ability to bond with humans. The Arabian is gentle, affectionate and has maintained a reputation as the horse of beauty, intelligence, courage, endurance and romance. The Straight Egyptian Arabian accounts for less the 3% of the total Arabian horse population. The Arabians have a way of captivating you and you are never the same!
