Melanie Fairlight Clifton grew up loving horses, but
due to financial sitations at home, never got to realize
her dreams until she was personally able to make it
happen. She began working at 15 and by the time she
entered college, she was paying to go trail riding
locally. She ended up buying some horses and doing
self care at local stables, but trail riding her Paint
and Thoroughbred were becoming...boring. An avid sailor
and very active person, she began looking for a sport
or other venue to enjoy with her horses. While researching
jumping and 3-day eventing, she found endurance. On
the trails, but fast! racing! and for 25, 50, 100
miles? Great! She began looking for a horse that would
take her to the top, and started learning about the
Arabian breed. During the search, she fell in love
with Arabians. She sold her other horses and bought
a cute little half-Arab Paint amazed her with his
intelligence and care for children, Sam. She looked
for over 3 months for an Endurance horse, and returned
3 horses before she found the right one, Brassair.
Since then, she's acquired others, each specially
selected for their breeding, conformation and movement.
