PURPOSE-BRED FOR PERFORMANCE
Embarking on a mission, Alaina had a vision. Creating a boutique breeding and training operation in Hayesville, North Carolina. "We started breeding because we couldn't find the type of horse that we wanted to purchase," said Brooks. "So, we went ahead and made our own. It was a great combination. He turned out to be exactly what we were wanting, so we've kind of replicated the recipe."
Growing up competing in barrel racing and western pleasure before eventually landing in the hunter jumper land and her mother bred and raised Quarter horses. But she hadn't taken a stab at breeding until 2018, when her first homebred, Caron Poivre, hit the ground. With the Westphalian (Coroado-Laola), she entered her first hunter breeding classes and earned U.S. Equestrian Federation Horse of the Year honors in the 2-year-old hunter breeding division.
Since then, more homebreds have earned more tricolors and Horse of the Year awards including Leading Hunter Breeder and Owner.
Our No. 1 goal is to prove that this breeding translates into the performance world, not just the hunter breeding world. Ultimately wanted to create a horse that was going to last and was to going to have longevity in the performance world but also be a correct and well put together horse on top of being a top performance horse.
