2004 Genuine+/ Gelding - Genuine Mandate
Our family moved to Arkansas in 1978 and established Hilltop Arabians.   With us came Countess Angelo and Callis Sally (a 3/4 Arabian). 

We make our home on 10 acres of mostly wooded land on top of Billy Goat Hill,  northwest of Jacksonville, AR.

Countess Angelo, our foundation mare, was a daughter of Angelo Storm, the awesome Park/Formal Combination stallion of the late 70's. Angelo Storm had 9 National Top Tens and 1 Reserve National Championship.  Countess Angelo (better known as Nubbin,

Although we liked the beautiful heads of the Egyptians, we were drawn to the build and abilities of the domestic/Crabbet/Polish bred horses, and still breed for those traits today.  In recent years, we've bred to such stallions as the JA Magnificat son, Brace, owned by Harper Arabians, recent breeders of the 2003 US National Champion Western Pleasure AOTR.  This resulted in M Brace Victory, pictured lower left, a Region IX Top Ten Yearling Sweepstakes Halter Champion. 

We've also taken advantage of the close proximity of the *Bask son,

We were also fortunate to be able to get our 20-year-old Imperial Mandate daughter in foal to Genuine+ (himself a double Reserve National Champion and sire of numerous National Champions) for the 2004 chestnut colt pictured top right.  This colt shows the trot and presence to win in the English division.

After visiting our site, if you have any questions, email or give us a call! We have a fabulous gelding available for purchase that is a grandson of the immortal *Bask.  His siblings have been winners, and we expect him to follow in their footsteps!

Thanks for spending a little time with us!
