Hennessey Arabians

For more than twenty-five years, Region 12 has been home to Hennessey Arabians. During that time, much has changed within our industry, our region, and our breed. Yet through all the years, one thing has remained constant: our unwavering dedication to breeding beautiful Arabian horses and preserving the qualities that first made us fall in love with this extraordinary breed.

The 2026 Region 12 Championships in Ocala, Florida, proved to be another memorable chapter in that journey.

This year was especially meaningful for our family, as Frank and Carol Hennessey were honored as recipients of the 2026 Region 12 Hall of Fame of Distinction. To receive this recognition from a region that has been such an important part of our lives is both a privilege and a tremendous honor. We are deeply grateful to Region 12 and to the many friends, breeders, exhibitors, owners, and horse lovers who have shared this journey with us over the years.

While championships and accolades are certainly rewarding, the greatest joy comes from seeing horses from our breeding program continue to flourish in the hands of others. Watching these horses carry forward the vision, values, and dedication that have guided Hennessey Arabians for generations is incredibly fulfilling. Knowing they bring happiness, success, cherished memories, and lasting friendships to their owners is what makes this journey so meaningful.

The Arabian horse has given us far more than we could ever repay. It has introduced us to extraordinary people, created lifelong friendships, opened doors to unforgettable experiences, and provided a lifetime of learning. Through every season, every foal, every show, and every accomplishment, our love for these horses has only grown stronger.

We would also like to extend our heartfelt gratitude to the many people who have contributed to the success and evolution of Hennessey Arabians throughout the years. To the trainers who have presented our horses with professionalism and dedication, to the friends who have shared in both the triumphs and challenges, to the owners who have welcomed Hennessey-bred horses into their programs and believed in our vision, and to the judges who have recognized and rewarded our horses with top honors—we thank you. Your support, confidence, and shared passion for the Arabian horse have helped shape the story of Hennessey Arabians, and for that we are deeply grateful.

As we reflect on another memorable Region 12 Championship and this incredible honor, we are filled with gratitude for the friendships, memories, and horses that have shaped this journey. We treasure the championships and celebrate the victories, but the greatest legacy is found in the horses themselves—carrying our vision forward, touching the lives of others, and bringing joy to generations of Arabian horse lovers. • HennesseyArabians.com

H Enfatuation H — 2026 Region 12 Spotlight Futurity Reserve Champion Yearling Auction Filly.

Sired by Jaipur El Perseus and out of H Emelia H, H Enfatuation H represents more than twenty years of thoughtful pedigree curation through the Hennessey breeding program — generations of dreams, vision, and dedication woven carefully together over time.

In 2008, we were blessed with the arrival of an especially significant filly: H Emandila H, a daughter of El Nabila B and out of the world-renowned Emandoria, by Gazal Al Shaqab. From that moment forward, the journey has been nothing short of magical.

That journey would eventually bring us H Emelia H — Enfatuation’s dam — by Preludio OSB, himself a son of Dominic M, imported to America by our dear friend Manny Vierra of Valley Oak Arabians.

Of course, Jaipur El Perseus has long been a stallion admired within our program for his remarkable consistency in producing the timeless qualities we value so deeply in the Arabian horse. The beautiful short face. The finely sculpted ears. The large, expressive eyes. The long, straight tail carriage. And perhaps most notably, the extra length of leg that adds such unmistakable elegance, presence, and size. Perseus El Jamaal — full brother to Evergreen Arabians’ late Pershahn El Jamaal — is by Ali Jamaal and out of the Bey Shah daughter Perfectshahn. Of course Jaipur's dam is one of the breed’s truly great mares, Jullye El Ludjin, regarded by many as among breeder Lenita Perroy’s finest achievements. Her influence upon the breed remains extraordinary through descendants including Jullyen El Jamaal, and as granddam to horses such as Jiuliusz De Wiec, Jyar Meia Lua, and Jyvar Meia Lua. These are the bloodlines and characteristics that continue to inspire and shape the vision of our breeding program today.

So many extraordinary Arabian horses — and so many extraordinary people — have woven in and out of our lives to bring us to this moment. That is the life of a breeder. That is the beauty of living the Arabian horse lifestyle. • HennesseyArabians.com

Sired by H Mobility H, this flashy chestnut is out of a daughter of Saddlebred Arrowhead's Unlike Any Other and the superbly bred Crystal Bay -- who herself is a daughter of Dream of Success, dam of today's finest National Champion Half-Arabian Hunter Horses Don't Stop B-Lieven and H Dream On H (both sired by H Mobility H).

Blessed are the *Besson daughters... H Embrace H, by *Besson Carol and out of Embra, produces a stunning c**t sired by Emerald J, an exquisite and incredibly successful son of breed legend QR Marc. And does this c**t have big shoes to fill -- being a full brother to Multi-Scottsdale Champion and U.S. Reserve National Champion ERNANDO AA, owned by our friends Aspire Arabians here in Ocala.

H Fortina H foals one of our best this year -- a c**t! Sired by multi-National champion Aria La Croixx, son of Delacroixx, an exceptionally beautiful stallion owned by our friends Aspire Arabians here in Ocala. H Fortina H descends from a lineage that is unquestionably so well planned and thought out; on her sire's side you find Ludjin El Jamaal and the famed National Champion Shahteyna, by Bey Shah... and her mother's side is equally as impressive being out of the one and only Forbidden Love LL, daughter of Versace, and tails to Magnum Psyche, Ariston, and Ivanhoe Tsatan. We're keeping our eyes on this c**t and following his "unfolding" with great anticipation! • HennesseyArabians.com

With the sharing of photographs yesterday of the exquisite Polish import EMBRA, it feels especially fitting to now announce the arrival of something we’ve been eagerly awaiting — a filly.

She is the beautiful new daughter of H Angelo H and H Entrique H. H Angelo H, a striking stallion we proudly bred and later sold to South America, is sired by Enzo and out of Carol Steppe’s Day Dream-bred Angelina Showlee (by Showkayce and to Shah Azim). H Entrique H is by EVG Gentry and out of the pure Polish beauty Embra.

Exquisitely marked and impeccably bred, this filly represents some of the finest bloodlines the breed has ever known. We truly couldn’t have designed her pedigree more thoughtfully. We can’t wait to watch her grow, develop, and unfold into all she promises to be.• HennesseyArabians.com

Embra, so exquisitely captured by Lysa Roman - taking us back to those "yester-years" of the snow-white Polish mares that sparkled under the desert skies of Scottsdale. Sired by Monogramm and out of Emilda -- we're fortunate to carry this very special mare through her daughter, and our very own, H EMBRACE H, by Besson Carol and who herself is in foal to Emerald J and due to foal this month! • HennesseyArabians.com

Long awaited, and finally here! H Zandra H presented us with a super beautiful bay c**t sired by the FA El Shawan son Atlas SBA who himself is out of the spectacular Goddess of Da Vinci. It's a great feeling to see the results of a pairing you believe so strongly in. H Zandra H is sired by the progenitor of beauty QR Marc and out of Zorandze who's Polish heritage blends Eukaliptus and Wizjon -- making H Zandra H a maternal sister to U.S. Reserve National Champion Yearling Filly Royal Samara H... stay tuned for updates on how this c**t unfolds! • HennesseyArabians.com
