Thank you to our Sponsors!

Estrellita Ranch

La Estrellita Ranch Arabian Stake at Lone Star Park was sponsored by Ray and Jane Teutsch of La Estrellita Ranch. Ray and Jane Teutsch have been breeding and racing horses for 28 years with great results. They own not only La Estrellita Ranch in Texas, but the well established Soaring Eagle Ranch in Colorado. Since 1982 they have been breeding Arabian horses for racing. They purchased their first breeding stallion in 2007 to breed to the excellent broodmares that they had accumulated over the years. They believe that the pure french lines bred to their outstanding domestic bred mares will result in a higher level of Arabian Race Horse- Size, Speed, Soundness and Sleekness. "We accept the challenge to help set the pace for the future of the Arabian Race Horse Industry."

The Teutschs are active participants in Arabian racing in both states. Ray Teutsch current serves on the Board of Directors for Texas Arabian Breeders Association, and for the association in Colorado.

Rancho Milagro Yegua

The mission of Rancho Milagro Yegua is to create awareness of Arabian racing, to offer world class horses, and give many more people the opportunity to experience the lifestyle of the Arabian horse through ownership and partnerships.
