Red Rock Arabians is a premier equine establishment located just outside of Lytton, Iowa. Established in the 1970′s, Red Rock Arabians has raised quality Arabians for over fifty years. Owned and operated by the Larry & Shirley Ellis and family, Red Rock Arabians began with predominantly Polish bloodlines, but now focuses on mainly Russian/Crabbet crosses as well as some select domestic bloodlines.

In the never-ending quest for the perfect combination of Arabian type, beauty, athletic ability, and most importantly, disposition, we purchased *PAARDEN+ in 1988. He was the heart of our breeding program for many years, with many memories in the show ring as well. Although he passed away in 1998, his legend lives on through his many get and grandget.

Although Red Rock Arabians has focused primarily on breeding western type performance horses, we have also enjoyed driving our Arabians. We have had a team of chestnut geldings as well as a team of Half-Arabian bay tobiano geldings that were all sired by *Paarden+. We kept the teams busy by giving sleigh rides in the winter and participating in shows and parades in the summer! For one of our Open Barn presentations, we put together Unicorn and Four-at hand hitches!

Red Rock Arabians continues to strive to breed quality Arabians that we have a lot of fun with, with the focus now on the grandkids!!
