ASA Farm

ASA Farm is committed to breeding the finest Pure Polish performance bloodlines that are available today, in order to preserve and protect the unique qualities of the magnificent Arabian horse and to maintain an individual that is genetically prepotent within a concentrated gene pool. We breed not only for performance horses with Arabian beauty and type, but horses who also can be used as "seed stock" for the production of future generations of beautiful athletes, providing our clients with National-calibre Arabians in the English pleasure, Pleasure driving, Park, and Sport Horse disciplines (including Dressage), with the beauty, structure, and conformation to also be successful in halter. ASA Farm provides the back-up support necessary to help maximize our clients' enjoyment and their horses' potential. We are happy to mentor new people in the industry, and have over thirty years of experience breeding National and International Champions in Arabian horses and Italian Greyhound dogs.

She was awarded a financial grant from the Arabian Horse Owner's Foundation for her research on *Raffles. Cheryl recently donated a rare Bedouin Saddle which was used on the famous Arabian, *Raffles, and imported by Roger A. Selby. The saddle sports a rare camel leather seat. She also donated her Arabian Native Costume made by her late mother, Hazel Showah, of fabric with real gold threads, imported from Aleppo, Syria by her cousin, Paula Chaber, when she was on her honeymoon in Syria, Turkey and Lebanon. Cheryl and her husband and son live at ASA Farm in Washington, Connecticut, 90 miles north of New York City. The Connecticut location is primarily a mare and foal nursery.
