Wanda and Halla
I first saw Halla on Facebook looking straight at me with doleful eyes. Oh No! Not again! (I said to myself). Long story short. I brought Bint Halla home, registration papers and all. Halla was born in 1992. I adopted her in 2013. All she had to do is enjoy life. She came to my…

My name is Wanda Holloway. I have owned, bred, shown Arabian horses since 1970. My, then, husband and I were known as Don-Wan Arabians. Our bloodlines were mostly Egyptian.

Adopting Lacy has been a blessing to me and my family. She’s so gentle, sweet, caring and anyone can ride her because she’s so well behaved. Lacy is the perfect horse for me and I know I’m the perfect girl for her! I am so thankful that we were able to give her a good…

After I turned 50, two kids grown and on their own I was hoping to adopt a horse but never thought I could as they are expensive and my riding experience was limited. I only rode as a kid on a neighbor’s horse and at camp. I have worked with many rescues and realized there…
