Which Foundation Stallions and Mares Are Featured at Strawberry Banks Farm?

Strawberry Banks Farm names three foundation stallions—A Temptation, Baske Afire, and Hey Hallelujah—and presents its mares as a group rather than as a named list. The stallions are the specific horses the farm identifies as shaping its breeding program; the mares are described as the line that carries that influence into each new generation. Both are viewable on the farm's website.

The Foundation Stallions

The farm's homepage introduces its stallions under the heading "Our Foundation Stallions," with the line: "Meet the stallions whose legacy continues to shape the program at Strawberry Banks Farm." The three named horses are:

The site does not, in the material available, break down each stallion's individual show record, pedigree, or offspring. What it does state is the collective role: these are the sires whose "courage, heart, and soul" the farm aims to carry "into the show ring and beyond."

The Mares

The mares appear under a separate heading, "Our Mares," with this description: "Behind every breeding program are exceptional mares whose influence is felt in every generation. Meet the mares who bring our program to life."

Unlike the stallions, no mare is named in the page text provided. The section is built around a photo gallery—the page shows repeated "View fullsize" image links—and a "Meet Our Mares" entry point. So if you want to know which individual mares are in the program, the gallery and the linked mares page are where that information lives, not the summary text.

How These Horses Shape the Program

The farm describes its approach as breeding "athletic Arabian horses rooted in legendary Polish bloodlines," with an emphasis on performance horses rather than halter-only stock. The stallions and mares are presented as the source of that identity: the stallions supply the legacy and the show-ring presence, and the mares are credited with carrying that influence forward "in every generation."

A practical way to read the structure: the stallion page tells you what the farm is building from, and the mare page tells you what it is building with now. For anyone evaluating the program—whether as a buyer, a pedigree researcher, or someone comparing Arabian breeders—those two pages are the core of the site.

Where to Find Them on the Site

• Foundation stallions: the "Our Foundation Stallions" section on the homepage, with a "Learn More" link leading to fuller profiles.
• Mares: the "Our Mares" section, with a "Meet Our Mares" link and a photo gallery of the current mares.
• Updates: a "See More SBF Updates" link suggests the farm posts news about foals, show results, or program developments.

The site also states the farm has been breeding since 1976—"nearly half a century"—which is the context for calling these horses foundation stock: they are the animals the current program is built on, not a complete historical roster.

What the Site Does Not Cover

The available page material does not include stud fees, semen availability, sales lists, or individual pedigree charts. If you need those details—for example, to evaluate a breeding decision or check a horse's lineage—plan to use the farm's contact route rather than expecting them on the homepage. The named stallions and the mare gallery are the reliable starting points; everything beyond that requires the linked pages or direct inquiry.
