Black, Bold, and Beautiful At Wetterlands Ranch we are dedicated to preserving the classic Arabian horse using Al Khamsa (Asil) bloodlines. These horses are world renowned for their versatility in many pursuits , but especially for endurance, dressage, and trail riding endeavors. Preserving the Arabian's friendly and loyal temperament is foremost, but when combined with correctly balanced conformation and classic Arabian type the results are outstanding. Janet Wetter is the owner of Wetterlands Ranch Inc. located in the beautiful rolling hills of North Central Kentucky. The hills are important because we strive to breed high quality endurance and trail horses which can properly use their hind ends on steep hills. The hills also give the youngsters a good start by strengthening their limbs, lungs and heart to help them attain their full potential as adults. The Babson influence is noticeably present in our herd and is strongly represented in the breeding program. We breed combined source Al Khamsa horses from two stallion lines blending various elements of the different AK breeding groups with a focus on Babson, Brown and *Turfa bloodlines. The first stallion line has Brown bloodlines are mainly thru the stallion El Reata Juan of the sire line Mesaoud from the Crabbet Stud. The other stallion line is AK Sharouf out of the renoun Babson mare Roufa out of Moniet el Sharaf by *IBN Moniet el Nefous. There are six mare lines mostly of a high percentage Babson breeding with some close in desert elements. We are confirmed Preservationists for the Al Khamsa which are so rare in the world today. The ancestors of these bloodlines sprang from the TRUE desert Arabian of by-gone days and the genes carried forth still produce a versatile athlete who can go the distance while remaining sound. Those wonderful qualities of endurance, loyalty, kindness and beauty remain today due to the intense selective breeding carried out by the Bedouin tribes. We believe that breeding for agreeable temperament, sound and correct conformation and the original Arabian type is what makes a superior athlete for today. We welcome you to Wetterlands Ranch to enjoy these magnificent horses for yourself. To see the farm in pictures...
