ARIA - Key Persons
Given Jeff's track record of success, he is frequently asked if he will assist others in their pursuit of great horses, and he is happy to do so. For example, Dick Freeland of Freeland Farm, a dynamic businessman who had amassed great success as a pre-eminent owner of Pizza Hut franchises throughout the country, asked Jeff to find a special stallion for his program. Once again, Jeff set out on an exhaustive search, which led him to the beautiful Shael Dream Desert in Brazil. Jeff loved the foals Shael had sired in Brazil and believed the stallion would produce the type of foals that the world market was seeking. Working closely with Rodolfo Guzzo, Jeff made the recommendation to Dick to acquire this horse. Shael Dream Desert was imported to America and has fulfilled the promise of making significant contributions as a sire. This acquisition meant a lot to Jeff on a personal level, "Dick Freeland was passionate about his horse program, and I am so glad I was able to help him acquire this great stallion."
While Jeff has demonstrated an ability to pick the right horse and manage the complexities of campaigning that horse, he is quick to point out that you don't win every time. "In the end," explains Jeff, "showing is a fickle endeavor. Fortunately, for me, the enjoyment of the Arabian horse extends way beyond winning and losing in the show ring. I love the romance of learning about the history and the pedigrees, I value the amazing people that I've met and with whom I've made lifelong friendships. I appreciate the peace of being on a farm and simply enjoy being in the moment with the horses. I am always excited by the promise of a new foal being born and what the future for that foal may hold. My life has been enriched in countless ways by the exotic travel and unique experiences that the Arabian horse provides to me, my family and my partners."
