 To my fellow horse owners visiting this site, I hope you find it interesting and take advantage of the many areas of interest we offer such as breedings to our star stallion "Face The Music!" We also offer Purebred Arabian and Crossbred foals for sale. Crossbreeding is one of our most exciting ventures here at Pure Illusion Arabians and "Face the Music" is an excellent choice for Warmblood owners looking to crossbreed for quality sport horses.

Mostly we would like you to have fun at our site. To horse enthusiasts and casual passersby I hope you will stay awhile and spend some time browsing through our information areas.

Please take the time to visit Pure Illusion's own chat forum, The Hitching Post, to participate in open discussions as well as scheduled chats! or go to the famous horse section and learn about equine stars of stage, screen and real life. We will be adding to this area constantly. The question section might be of some help to you and our dressage and arabian history sections are very interesting.

    Horses are magnificent animals; kind, loving, and loyal. They are smart and try their best to please us humans who far to often abuse them. My love for animals in general and horses in particular goes back to my childhood. My earliest memories are of cantering through the house at 2 or 3 years old on a beautiful proud mount with mane flying. To others it was nothing but an old broomstick, but not to me!

    As the years rolled by I collected horse statues and read anything I could get my hands on as long is it was about horses. I would jump at any opportunity to ride a horse, even the poor mistreated rental horses at the local stable. Every birthday or Christmas you could hear me begging my parents to get me a horse. After many years and now into my early teens my parents decided that my horse obsession was not a passing phase but a growing passion.

Soon my parents would recognize that my love of horses was genuine and finally they made my dream come true; they bought me a horse! He cost very little and had no impressive pedigree. But he was a cute little fellow, a gelding, 3/4 Arabian with some Quarter Horse and Thoroughbred in him. He was a flaxen chestnut with four white feet and a blaze. His name was Rasha and he soon grew to be my best friend. Rasha saw me through those difficult teen years and kept me out of trouble. We shared the good times and the bad, the ups and the downs, we shared our dreams and hopes, we shared everything. One of his favorite things to share were the cheeseburgers and onion rings from the stand down the street from the stable!
