The aim is one and only, looking for the absolute excellence through the persuasion of the real essence of breeding, always aware of the new trends of this world, but with a stable eye on the past.

Also, many important collaborations accompanied the family of Victor Arabians in the last years. One of the most important is surely the one between Victor and Frank Spoenle and his team, which until today has developed into real friendship. Through this unique opportunity to work with one of the most famous and successful Arabian horse training centers in history, Vicky could personally grow and learn the art of the Arabian Horse training. We met Vicky many times at national and international shows presenting his own horses or preparing them for the show.

Furthermore Victor Arabians family would like to thank dear friends, who are following our breeding experience closely and since many years, Cesare and Michela Giuliani and Stefan and Kathy Pramstrahler and their family. The family unity is the winning card of Victor Arabians. They decide everything together - strategies, plans and choices, sometimes very difficult ones. Everything is shared, daily work, disappointments and successes. Victor Arabians - The story of a family that lives one passion: Breeding the Purebred Arabian Horse in the noblest way possible. q
