Named in honour of our first purebred mare ‘Turkish Delight’  (twice NZ Supreme Exhibit, twice NZ Royal Champion and a N.I. Endurance title holder - dam and grand-dam of winning show and endurance progeny).    Delight Arab Stud breeds quality show, performance and endurance stock with an emphasis on an athletic, dry desert type with clean hard bone and supple free movement.  We believe in the good old Colonial and Crabbet bloodlines which consistently produce lovely quality, sound, athletic riding horses  -  their Classic Beauty is a bonus!  Our Stallions:
