Founded in late 1990, by Franklin Ames, a professional coach, trainer and competitive exhibitor on the international level, Cedar Ridge was established to improve the connection between horse and rider with intensive training schedules. Frank made it clear to family and friends that his dream was to one day be able to have a facility that would allow today's equine enthusiasts a place to offer only the best in amenities to bring out the champion in every horse and rider combination. Early on in Frank’s life he met his beautiful wife, Norma. Frank and Norma married in their late teens and began a life together sharing a common goal, which was to create the finest in Arabian performance horses by breeding leading sires with world-renowned producing mares. More than 20 years ago, Frank and Norma Ames established |
Cedar Ridge Arabians, from which they launched an Arabian and Half-Arabian breeding programs that would catapult the farm and its horses into the spotlight. Since then, year after year, Cedar Ridge's purebred Arabians and Half-Arabians win the most coveted titles at North America's most prestigious national, regional and class "A" shows, in both halter as well as performance competition.
Today, Cedar Ridge Arabians is run by none other than Frank and Norma's daughter, Meredith Ames. Meredith trained extremely hard in her riding career but now she focuses her time and energy on our successful breeding program. She literally pours her heart into creating only the finest quality in-hand and under-saddle performance Arabians known to the industry.
The Ames family developed the now world-renowned horse farm located in Rosewood, a small, quiet community. As the Ames family continues to watch generations of Cedar Ridge-bred champions validate their breeding choices and selection criteria, they become more and more eager to show these horses they are breeding. To that end, the beautiful, eminently functional Cedar Ridge Farm grew into a full-service training, breeding and marketing facility where they, and other Arabian aficionados, could enjoy Arabian horses and all the beauty and grace that they have to offer. The Cedar Ridge-bred Arabians along with their many satisfied customers have become familiar household names. This kind of all-around success has transformed the Cedar Ridge name into an industry talisman.
