Karma Farms is located in deep East Texas between Marshall and Jefferson on US 59, only about 12 miles north of I-20. Glad to have you visit us to meet America's First Horse.
The Colonial Spanish is still America's best horse for trail riding, distance riding, cattle work, and all around best compadre. This breed is called the Horse of the Americas, but also Colonial Spanish, Spanish Mustang, Barb, Original Indian Horse, or even Cayuse.
By whatever name, these tough, smooth riding, intelligent and historic horses are still proving their worth for today's riders. Our farm is home to some of the best Colonial Spanish horses in the world. Don't make the mistake of confusing these rare horses with wild ferals
like most BLM adoptees. The Horses of the Americas are pedigreed horses. These horses come from stock brought to the Americas during the Colonial Spanish period. At Karma Farms, history is a living, breathing remnant of the America's Old West.
We breed the best to the best to share that history with today's riders. Here at Karma Farms, we lead ALL other breeders of these horses in championships, registry awards and number of winning horses--whether they are called Colonial Spanish Horses, Spanish Mustangs or Original Indian Horses. America's most decorated breeding farm invites you to visit and try
a CS Horse.
If there is a young rider (or "rider-wanna-be"!) at your house, we'd love to have him or her join us at Day Camp! We welcome back for their second year our teenage "ramrods" Jennifer Maddox, Desi Halupa, Cooper Townsley and Will Clark. Without all their help, our Day Camps wouldn't be possible.
Now enrolling for these Summer 2008 dates:
June 10-11-12
June 24-25-26
July 1-3 (and an invitation to fireworks show here on July 4th!!)
July 15-16-17
We can only take 7 beginner level kids for each 3 day camp session as we have only 7 beginner horses. We can add more Intermediate Level horses for more experienced campers. Camp starts at 4 pm and ends at 7 pm to avoid the worst of East Texas heat for our riders. Each rider will have his or her "own" horse from our famous dude string all three days. We are reserving Fridays of each of the camp session weeks for make-ups if we rain out.
You can see how much fun the kids had last year at Day Camp 1 and Day Camp 1 (continued). $150 each session. Give us a call at 903-407-0298 or 903 935-9980 to enroll your young rider now.
We also take trail riders out by appointment every day--and we do late evening rides in summer. Prices are still $25 per hour per horse with double riders (little kids only!)for $10. Want to take a virtual visit and see our trails? Check out our Trail Riding at Karma Farms Web gallery. We have more info on riding here at the farm at the Karma Farms Trail Riding Page. Just leave the office and homework behind and join us for a "One Hour Vacation".
Vik and Tommi picked up four wonderful Corolla Horses from the Outer Banks, Corolla Island in North Carolina. Watch as we train these little "sea horses" at The Corolla Horses of Karma Farms.
When you visit Karma Farms, you can meet some of the horses that helped to inspire John Fusco's 2002 animated movie Spirit: Stallion of the Cimmaron. He honored us by naming Spirit's dam after our famous broodmare Espéranza. Many of this great mare's offspring still live at Karma Farms including Rowdy Yates, Magneto, My Sunshine, and Xena and now Cactus Jack, Rowdy's look-alike full brother lives right down the road in Hallsville/ "Jack" is owned Karma Farms foreman Curtis George and Laura Christensen. You can find Espéranza grandsons and daughters on our Ready To Ride pages. John's other famous famous horse movie Hidalgo released in 2004 introduced more people to America's First Horse. Come and meet the real horses of the Old West at Karma Farms.
These historic horses are indeed rare today. Probably less than 5,000 are left in the world. Colonial Spanish are among the most wonderful, tough and loyal of horses. Each is a unique work of the Great Spirit. This is not a "look-alike, think-alike" breed. They are Picassos, not screen prints. Those who love the unique as well as the historic often find their equine soul mate at Karma Farms. The Horse of the Americas is also America's best family horse.
These handy, versatile horses can do virtually anything--from barrel racing to dressage. At Karma Farms, our favorite equestrian sports are competitive trail riding and American Indian Horse shows, but we do special exhibitions, parades, and all sorts of fun events as we promote America's First Horse.
Our very first Colonial Spanish Horse was also registered as an Original American Indian Horse. He changed the course of our lives.
His name was Choctaw Sun Dance. This magic Medicine Hat made breed history. Meet "Dance" by clicking here, on his name or on his picture.
Tomlyn Grey, youngest member of the Karma Farms family, would like to tell about her horses herself. Check out "One Crazy Kid And The Horses That Put Up With Her...".
"Tommi" works hard helping with the farm. She and her boy Fernando can do it all! Meet the little black gelding Tommi trained herself. They're still out there winning today.
And if you would enjoy another sample of her writing, here's Tommi's "shout out" on those who unfairly condemn others.
You can see them ALL with music on our new Web Gallery designed by Tomlyn Grey at Karma Farms Colonial Spanish Stallions . Our favorite registries:
