How are our foals raised?

A strict selection would be useless without a proper horse husbandry, built on a vast experience, a endless commitment and a constant learning.

Health first

- All the horses at Faber Arabians are regularly trimmed, dewormed, handled from the earliest age.
- The horses are provided with quality food, formulated according to their needs and their age, vitamins/minerals/amino acids complements, natural meadow hay ad libitum when the grass is not available and quality straw.
- The dams gets supplement and adapted food, without any excess, from the 8th month of pregnancy and until the weaning, insuring a perfect intra-uterine growth and solid, sound bones/tendons/ligaments/muscles and organs.
- The specific soil of the farm helps to develop sound and strong body structures, thanks to the natural minerals and the rocky and hilly terrain.
- All the horses, except is the weather is too bad, live outside in the meadow during the spring/summer/fall and in large paddocks during the winter.

Education and relationships too

- Foals quickly meet other horses and learn to find their right hierarchical position and to behave in a group. Horses live in small herds, according to their group and their needs.
- They learn to change groups, to separate from other horses and to manage themselves alone and in pairs with their human.
- A strong and lasting relationship with humans is built from birth:
by a daily presence without excessive pressure focused on the well-being within the relationship.
through varied experiences and manipulations adapted to the capacities of each young horse, while respecting its own personality
by a constant learning of equine/human "savoir-vivre" rules and of everything that will contribute to prepare the horse for its future career in the best way.

And of course, all our horses are registered with the French studbook. They all have an international passport and are excluded from the food chain.

All this gives the young horse every chance to become an ideal partner for its human and to enable them to live a happy and fulfilling life together.
