Sherwood Forest Farms has been raising fine Polish Arabians since 1984. Over the years our policy has been to breed Arabian horses with classical Arabian type, beauty, elegance, excellent dispositions and superior intelligence. We believe an Arabian horse should be an athlete - capable of strenuous activity over any type of terrain, doing any type of job he may be asked to do. For this reason we have always placed great emphasis on selecting and breeding horses that can move freely and have the ability to cover ground efficiently while maintaining the ultimate of speed, boldness, style and endurance. This is the same type of Arabian horse so highly prized by the ancient Bedouin tribesmen; a horse of great beauty who was also capable of great deeds in the times of need.

   In the effort to maintain and improve this type of Arabian horse Sherwood Forest Farms has spared no effort or expense. We have gradually acquired the finest breeding stock available in this country and abroad. Since its beginning Sherwood Forest Farms has always believed that the ultimate in achievement is perfection of Arabian horse type, conformation, and athletic ability.

   Presently we own approximately 68 Polish Arabians. We stand six stallions, many of these stallions have accumulated Championships in either Halter and/or Racing.

   We are located on 226 acres in Paris, Kentucky. In addition to running a Polish Arabian Breeding Farm we also run a full hay and straw operation. It is truly an aesthetic paradise!
