Tracks End was started as a small breeding farm in 1997 with the purchase of PR Tantara Faraf, a registered 1/2 Arabian Black Tobiano Mare in foal to a black tobiano Paint stallion, Bonnie Be Good. I was 18 years old when I started this new venture. I went to college after high school at Ohio State ATI majoring in horse production & management. A few years later, I rebuilt the barn at my parents farm, the same year I purchased and brought home RBA Phantom, our current herd sire. The following year I was married to James DeLong. I continued the breeding operation until 2002 when we purchased our new home in New London, OH. We have continued breeding 2-3 quality Arabian and Arabian Pinto foals each year. In 2003 our daughter, Kristelle Kaitlyn was born. Our 2nd child was born in 2004, a son, Garrett James. Our 3rd child, Keith James was born in the fall of 2005 with complications due to premature birth. He survived after 21 days in a Neonatal Intensive Care Unit in Cleveland, Ohio. Through all this we still managed 3-4 horses breeding them each year. Currently we are expecting our 4th child, a little girl due in July of 2008. We are also expecting one of our most exciting foal crops EVER! I (Rondelle), have started a equine photography business in 2007, most images you see on Tracks End Pintos are that of my own images. I also am a webmaster, creating my own website and a handful of other horse farm websites. |
