Hi there, I am Azi. My registered name is Azrazingztripes. Yep. Complicated, so Azi for short. I was born in 2007 and raised here at the ranch in the foothills of the sierrita mountains. My life has been pretty nice and mellow so far. Mom and her sis Ute were going to race me and nominated me as a yearling, but I turned out to be just too laid back like my big brother Heza. In the matter of fact I have lots of sisters and brothers here at the ranch. My mom Ti and Alabaz had several purebred foals and mom strayed and crossed with other breeds and produced some nice 1/2 arabians. I have two full brothers Tiz and Heza. Heza is still here and 1/2 sister Ebony on my mom's side also. As well as some 1/2 siblings on my fathers side.

 

The early years: As I already said I was born and raised her at the ranch. My 1/2 sister Bo and I spent the first two years out on pasture together being born in the same year. We even got to spent one entire summer up in St. John's on the big pasture.Mom started me slowly on the riding thing as a two year old and I got to go out on my first trail when I was 3. Oh, that was fun. Being an arabian makes me an overachiever of course. And I still remember the first water crossings on the first Monument valley trail. I cleared the creeks 5 foot above water level and 5 foot wide on either side.... To this day water is not my friend but I learned to tolerate it. Mom and Ute rode me exclusively for the first couple of years. I did have some other people on my back but I didn't care much for that.

 

Favorites: I don't really have a lot of horsey friends. I hang out with sandie sometimes, but I do prefer human company. I am a little bit arrogant like my mom Ti, so I don't show much emotions. But I do love some humans. Mom's sis Ute is my favorite. One of my favorite things to do is going for long rides. Endurance rides are ok, but I had a hard time on the first few rides to pace myself since I am an overachiever. I still catch myself getting carried away sometimes but I am working on that self control thing.
