About Whispering Oaks Arabians

Home of 16.2hh Russian-bred TLA Halynov

Whispering Oaks Arabians has been breeding and training our Arabian sport horses for over 15 years. Halynov's offspring are competing both nationally and internationally in endurance racing, hunter, dressage, and other performance disciplines. Halter wins were a bonus and proved you can have both beauty AND function! His legacy, son Hal’s Riverdance, is producing the same quality as his sire. Our son of 3 times Top 10 Champion Explodent, IIWP Solstar, is producing gorgeous athletic offspring as well. Our third stallion, Romanov, son of imported 16h *Napadki (a Procent son -- close up Priboj) is producing size, substance of bone and great movement as well. Bette and Mark Lamore and our children, Ryan, Stacie, and Jessica, have been involved with the Arabian breeding since the 70's, although Bette has been riding horses since she could walk. We have been involved in all aspects of the horse industry including showing primarily in performance, training, breeding, selling, and shipping semen nationwide. We've already had requests for shipping overseas. In short, our involvement with our horses has included everything from accepting their trophies at horse shows to feeding hay in one end and shoveling it out from the other! We now have many senior citizens. They have raised our kids and will have a home with us until they cross over the Rainbow Bridge. We remember all too many wonder trail rides. Perhaps the most memorable was our Thanksgiving family trail ride on our neighbors huge property. Stacie insisted that she knew a shortcut. Our planned one hour ride became a 4 hour ride and we returned to a Thanksgiving dinner of turkey jerky! It was worth it -- if only for the mileage we got out of that story. We experienced financial hardship at one point as a result of fraud by Realtors. Suffice it to say that we became VERY hands-on at that point. The only showing we did were Amateur Owner to Ride Classes, mostly with our children at the end of the lead line or riding. Of course horse chores were divided amongst all of us. Our son attributes his honors in college to the discipline he learned on the ranch. Our girls developed self-reliance and confidence that has shaped their personal and career lives. We all relied on our senses of humor when times were tough. We heartedly recommend horses for families. Many unforgettable wonderful memories that we built as a family -- our activities with the horses were something we could do together, at whatever levels+ we were at individually. Kept our kids out of trouble --- either too tired-- or too busy to get into it! Please visit our stallion page to learn more about our stallions’ offspring. Our Mares page gives a brief history of the Russian breeding program.
