WELCOME TO CRESCENT FARM…

We are located in the beautiful rolling dune lands of Northwest Indiana – at the southern tip of Lake Michigan and one hour east of Chicago. Our horses get daily handling and enjoy living outdoors – for their social and physical wellbeing.


OUR BREEDING PHILOSOPHY:

PURA RAZA ESPANOLA (PRE).
Our goal is to produce athletic and versatile Pure Spanish horses that exceed standards in four areas - Bloodlines, Movement, Conformation and Temperament. We believe that the essence of the Andalusian must be maintained through careful selection of these traits, and to not compromise on the classic baroque style that is distinctive to the Spanish horse. With these qualities, the future of "our" horses is bright - to be athletic and sturdy, regal and kind.

SPANISH-NORMANS.
Crescent Farm is breeding Spanish-Normans (Andalusian X Percheron) that combines the athleticism and grace of the Spanish horse, with the substance and character of the Percheron horse - recreating the Medieval Charger, and an animal of unlimited versatility. They are outstanding animals that compete in a wide variety of events and make wonderful partners to their humans.

CROSSBREEDING ANDALUSIANS.
The Andalusian is renowned throughout its long history for improving on mares of any breed. In particular, the following crosses with Andalusian's are finding success in a wide variety of competition, and are impressing people with their athleticism and beauty. These crosses are eligible for registration with the International Andalusian & Lusitano Horse Association as Half-Andalusian's, and many have their own breed registries.

x Percheron = Spanish-Norman

x Quarter Horse = Azteca (national horse of Mexico!)

x Arabian = Hispano Arabe

x Friesian = Warlander

x Saddlebred = American Sporthorse

x Thoroughbred = Iberian Sporthorse & Warmblood

x Warmblood's = Iberian Sporthorse & Warmblood

In addition to participating in Andalusian shows, we enjoy competing in combined driving events (CDE's), working on basic dressage training, and riding and driving in the adjacent apple orchards. Above all, we just take pleasure in being with our horses.
