About Tracks End

Tracks End Arabian Pintos was started by myself, Rondelle DeLong in 1998. That year I purchased my first broodmare my breeding program. A half Arabian black tobiano mare named, PR Tantara Faraf (Roiye Reata Faraf X Toby). The following year our first foal was born.

Let me back up a little and tell you a bit about myself. I've owned horses since 1991. I started with an Arabian gelding that needed training. From there I started breaking and training horses. After high school, I went to Ohio State Agricultural Technical Institute majoring in horse production and management. I was burned out and tired, when thumbing in the classifieds I noticed an ad for a half Arabian black tobiano mare, my all time dream!

In 2000, I was married to James DeLong. In 2003 our first child was born, a girl, we named Kristelle. She was followed by Garrett in 2004, Keith in 2003 and Cera in 2008.

Together we have continued in the pursuit of the epitome of Arabian Pintos. We strive for producing horses at or above 14.3 hh with the a goal of producing horses that stand 15 hands or better. Though height is not everything, type is one of our biggest goals. We want a horse that SCREAMS Arabian! Small ears, large dark eyes, elegant long neck, short backs, level croup and strong, straight legs. The horses need to be smooth bodied and pleasant to the eyes. When I look at a horse, I picture it as being a solid chestnut. If I still am in awe of that animal in movement, conformation and disposition, then and only then do to look at the color. We specialize ourselves in very unique colors and patterns. Our basis is tovero patterns. A tovero is a horse that exhibits and carries both the overo and tobiano genes. We are also seeking the goal of a high percentage Arabian double dilute (cremello, perlino, smokey cream) tovero, overo, tobianos in the future, of course not skimping on the quality of the animal!

In 2008 Track End Arabian Pintos has reached from Pennsylvania to Oklahoma and overseas to Germany! In Germany our horses are breeding on and producing dynasties of their own. Read more about this on our News page.
