For Terri Crawford Arabian horses have always been a part of her life. She has owned them ridden them and shown them for many years. Terri has an affinity for the Arabian horse, but one day, while attending an Arabian show, she found out she had that same affinity for Half-Arabians when she saw a lovely Palomino Half Arabian mare being led down the barn aisle. It was in that instant that she fell in love with that mare. Terri had been looking for another horse for the show ring and the Palomino mare was just what she was looking for.
Hollywood Fyness SF, Cover Girl as she is known around the barn, was bred by Singing Hearts Farm out of Rogersville, MO. It was their trainer, Troy Murrell, who was leading Cover Girl down the barn aisle when Terri spotted the mare. Terri joked, “I said look what Troy has!” She knew right then and there Cover Girl was the horse she had been looking for. With the help of both Troy and Sharon Davis (owner of Singing Hearts Farm) Terri was able to purchase Cover Girl. “Troy told me they could make it happen and they did” says Terri.
The lovely Palomino mare had been started under saddle when Terri purchased her and she was ready to start her career in the show ring. Cover Girl has the bloodlines of Champions on both her Sire (AQHA) and Dam(Arabian) side, so it only seemed logical she was destined for greatness in the arena.
Being a Palomino Cover Girl attracts attention, but she is more than a pretty color she has the disposition and talent needed to be successful in the show ring today.
Terri has had a dream for many years that a horse of hers would qualify for the Arabian Nationals and take a Top Ten. Cover Girl has made that dream a reality. Cover Girl qualified for the Arabian Nationals and took four top tens this year. Terri will tell you it takes a team effort to get a horse to that level and she appreciates everyone who helped get her mare to Nationals. “Troy and everyone did such a great job” she explains.
Her dream now is to come home with a National Champion. Maybe Cover Girl will be that horse.
