"To keep a noble and authentic Arabian Horse and to raise it as much as possible in a natural way." I have been working for years to follow this breeding ethic, far from the blink-blink of the front stage, but with a view to the long-term future, of transmission to future generations.
To produce a healthy horse - physically and mentally - and well-built first and foremost. To seek improvement without distorting breed characteristics or losing diversity, through strict selection and systematic removal of individuals who transmit heavy flaws. To preserve rare lines, especially damlines, too, by breeding them intelligently, so as not to lose them.
The preservation of the original characteristics and qualities of the Arabian Horse requires a complete commitment, that of a lifetime: rigorous, objective, vigilant and above all, an ability to remain focused on one's choices and one's goal, without being influenced by fashion, the hyper performance, hyper types, hyper specialization, linked to disciplines, to the detriment of the breed and the animal. I also feel concerned by the well-being of the Arabian Horse and the selection must, in my opinion, avoid allowing the development of physical traits that hinder the meeting of the basic needs of the animal.
I have concentrated for almost 30 years now on the Russian bloodlines from Tersk Stud, because I believe that the breeding selection they have always carried out, both at the racetrack and in type and conformation competitions, has allowed to keep horses that are well-built, performing, beautiful and close to human, which fully meet the characteristics of the Arabian Horse. 
These Russian bloodlines find their breeding cradle at the Haras de Tersk, in Stavropol, in the Caucasus, where they were created by the skilful marriage of the best Polish, Crabbet and French bloods, to which was added a little Egyptian touch. This breeding program was invariably supported by a careful selection of the breeding stock based on racetrack performance and beauty, whereby they retained nowadays their sporting potential, sound conformation and original type. They are the basis and make up the pedigrees of champions and producers of champions in all disciplines worldwide (let’s mention, among so many others, Persik, for endurance; Patron, for show) and these qualities, carried by today's Russian horses, constitute in my opinion an exceptional genetic reservoir which must be carefully protected and developed, so that owners and breeders can benefit from it now and in the future, both for their direct use under the saddle only to reinfuse and reinforce breeding programs.
I wish all of us, committed breeders, shadow workers, much success and joy in our daily passion, and to the wonderful breed that lives in our hearts, a healthy and long continuity.

My mares and stallions were chosen for their typical and functional morphologies and legs, their type, their mind, their sportive or show abilities and  palmares as much as for their exceptional pedigrees exclusively made up of Tersk stud used genitors or bred by Tersk and their offspring, until 1990, without any other addition. All the Faber Arabians bred horses can be called "straight russian arabian horses".

I also have developped a relationships network with other straight russian lovers, owners and breeders, what is essential to work efficiently, to share our experience, to breed successfully our horses and to collaborate in our common goal. I also have the chance that many clients become friends and we maintain friendly relations! Several stud farms own Faber Arabians bred horses and use them successfully!

I decided to begin this plan in adding it with a proactiv approach in order to promote the circulation of the informations concerning this fantastic horse and to promote these exceptional bloodlines, through the horses I breed, among others. This awareness action is really important for me. I wish to be a part of the preservation work undertakes by the Straight Russian breeders around the world.

Born out of my unreserved passion for the Arabian horse, Faber Arabians breeding program has foremost a well defined objective : the preservation and the development of Russian bloodlines within the exceptional breed which is the Arabian Horse. The Tersk Stud, located in the northern Caucasus, is the place of origin of these bloodlines.

Building our own breeding program is not that easy. It has to express the preferences and the personnality of the breeder and to meet the requirements of the clients as well. From the early beginning, I have been totally dedicated to breed and raise sound, pleasant and performing partners, complete horses, versatile, typical of the Arab breed, kind and smart.
