“Aja Arabians – just imagine what your dreams can do…”

by Samantha Mattocks

Found after twisting through the country lanes of middle England, Aja Arabians is as romantic as its name suggests: a long driveway with elegant Arabian mares and foals quietly grazing in paddocks either side; stables filled with beautiful, ethereal mares who define “perfection”; and a husband and wife who take their horses very much to the heart of their family.

Owned and run by Jane and Malcolm Hickford, Aja Arabians offers visitors a place where dreams can be realised and expectations exceeded. Having been owners and breeders of Arabian horses for over a decade, Jane and Malcolm epitomise breeding innovation at its very finest: they were among the first to recognise the superiority of FS Bengali**** (Kubinec***** x Om El Sanadiva) and bring him to the UK, changing a country’s breeding direction in the process. Now embracing the depth that WH Justice*** (Magnum Psyche* x Vona Sher Renea) can add to a solid foundation stock of mares, Jane and Malcolm are, again, entering a new phase of their stud’s breeding plans.

Aja Arabians have worked hard at their dream and invite you to their 18^th century home to enjoy looking at one of the finest breeding programmes this side of the United States. The Aja revolution may have started in middle England but it has been readily embraced by many and is constantly being admired worldwide.
