aroque horses have long enchanted mankind. The exquisite beauty of their long, thick manes and tails, their elegantly arched necks, their floating, agile movements, as well as their keen, intelligent, willing minds have beckoned mankind to enter into a partnership of the soul with these magnificent creatures. We at Don E Mor are no different. The Lusitano and Andalusian have become our inspiration.
We believe that Don E Mor is the outward manifestation of God calling us to breed His beautiful horses. Our objective is to breed a small number of select Lusitano and Andalusian foals each year for the various disciplines of dressage and carriage driving, or for the sport horse enthusiast and the pleasure rider.
We breed for outstanding conformation, athleticism, functionality, temperament, and color—the cherry on the top of the sundae! Though Don E Mor does not routinely offer its stallions, mares or geldings for sale until they have begun their training at three years
of
age, we do have younger stock for sale. For more information, please give us a call or send us an email.
As the years have unfolded, Don E Mor has been blessed with many amazing Lusitano and Andalusian horses. All of the gorgeous steeds we have sold have gone to exactly the right people—their “Forever Riding Partners.” Don E Mor horses are now spread as far west as California, as far north as Canada, and as far south as Texas, while many have stayed right here in North Carolina. Have a look at some of these magnificent animals for yourself!
Don E Mor is fortunate to have the very talented Richard Schouten, a 2 Star Parelli Instructor, handle and train all our horses. Richard begins his training regimen, even through his earliest interactions with the a newly born colt, by building a solid foundation of rapport and mutual respect. Richard establishes this relationship through patience and kindness in every act of training—whether it's developing the horse's groundwork and handling skills, or teaching it to ride with relaxation, lightness, responsiveness, and understanding. Richard builds upon and reinforces this foundation by presenting the horse with a variety of challenges and venues—in and out of the arena, the open fields, and on the trails of Don E Mor. Therein, Richard molds each horse from its early stages into mature, willing, obedient, and versatile equine partner. This training process takes considerable attention and time, but if you come ride one of our horses you will certainly see it was time well spent. In each horse, Richard builds a strong, balanced partner that is relaxed, free, and happy in its work.
