Canada's National Arabian Championship

Ensure you come see the “Lasma Arabian Stud” display here in Brandon, Manitoba.

The undisputed leader in the Arabian Horse business throughout the 60’s, 70’s and 80’s.

We have created a pictorial display leading you through a quick history of Lasma and the LaCroix family.

Lasma based primarily in Scottsdale, Arizona and “Gene LaCroix” (the eldest son) spearheaded a new era of marketing in the 70’s and ‘80’s by creating an exciting venue to sell Arabian Horses.

The cornerstone of Lasma was the Polish Arabian stallion named *Bask who was discovered on the racetrack in Warsaw, Poland.

That importation lead what was to be deemed “The Polish Invasion” as North Americans travelled in droves to Poland to purchase some of their best horses.

Sports Stars, Investors and Stars of Stage and Screen flocked to the Arabian Industry to be part of the excitement!!

The sales were headlined with some of the most famous two legged and four legged stars in North America.

Sale opener entertainment ranged from Bob Hope, Sammy Davis Jr., The Beach Boys, and at the peak of their fame “ The Pointer Sisters” who had the number single in the country “ I’m So Excited”.

It was an era where we were registering over 35,000 foals a year and the World flocked to North America to buy some of the best Arabian Horses anywhere on the planet.
