SAX Morabs has its heart in a Morab gelding named El Serniga. Foaled in 1984, El Serniga has taught its owners what the Morab breed is all about. Started as a child’s horse in 4-H, to just being a fun reliable horse for kids. Serniga was the “all around” type of horse. When Serniga was 3 years old, a 5 year old party guest rode him alone bare back with a hackamore in our back yard. He had been heavily shown in Wisconsin in Morab classes and on the class A Arabian/Half-Arabian circuit. When he was 3 years old he took first over the then leading Morab Stallion in Wisconsin under a Arabian judge and a Morgan judge and took the 3 year old Morab Futurity. He continued his class A show career in Kentucky and surrounding states in western and huntseat until the late 1990’s. He is retired from Class A and generally shows at the PMHA Morab Nationals held at the Kentucky Horse Park every October. Serniga has been the mount for the next generation of children and for house quests as far away as Japan. Currently, El Serniga has turned into a chocolate brown and is utilized on the trail. He is re-learning a ‘hidden’ gift, the smooth riding ‘single foot’ inherited from his Morgan bloodlines. Serniga is my version of the Rocky Mountain Walking Horse.

SAX Gold Dust is the foundation stallion of SAX Morabs. He is no accident. His being was carefully planned through his dam, a double *Serafix mare, and an athletic, typey Morgan. Evaluation of the Arabian and Morgan conformation was to complement these two breeds for a balanced Morab. Each parent gave the conformational attributes designed in the ‘plan’.
