TEXAS SEAHORSE RANCH

Shahcolate Bey Ma quietly in his own way has been an ambassador for the Arabian Horse. Bred and born to be a National Caliber performance horse, Shahcolate at the age of 4 in his second show qualified himself for the Region 9 Western Pleasure Championships in Junior Horse and Amateur by winning his Amateur Class

(8 horses in the class) and placing second in the Junior Horse (8 horses in the class) Shahcolate had only been under saddle 4 months at this point (May 1993).

​

But instead of continuing down the show horse road Shahcolate left the show

ring in 1994 & fell out of sight of the Arabian horse industry.  Living on a cutting horse/cattle ranch from 1992 thru 2000. Shahcolate earned the admiration

& the respect of Quarter Horse owners and trainers for his cow sense, quiet temperament, beauty & great heart. Many a blacksmith had to be reminded

he was a stallion while he stood tied quietly among Quarter Horse mares, gelding

& stallions.

​

During these years Shahcolate spent his time working cattle, being a ranch horse

& used often as a trail and the occasional Dressage lesson horse.  

In 1996 Shahcolate was used on the 13,000 acre Brushy Hill Game Ranch in Sabinal, Texas as the lead horse in their mounted wild hog hunts.  Once again Shahcolate proved that the Arabian horse is up to any challenge, during a hunt a 400 pound hog was shot deep in the brush, Shahcolate was the only horse in the hunting group willing to fight his way through the thorny brush and approach the dead hog.  Shahcolate then dragged the hog back thru the brush to the open road.  Every one that witnessed this event agreed that if they hadn’t seen an Arabian do it they would

not have believed it.

After 13 years of obscurity in the Arabian Horse Industry Shahcolate reentered the show ring as a Cutting Horse with very little training in August of 2007, by the end

of October 2007 Shahcolate had been named 2007 US Champion for most Money Earned Non-Pro Novice Cutting Horse and a US Top Five in the open Novice Horse.

​

2007 also proved his worth as a sire his daughter Coco’s Little Missle was named a US Top Ten in the Cow Horse Futurity and in 2008 she was named US Reserve National Champion AOTR Working Cow Horse & in 2009 was the National Champion AOTR Working Cow Horse as well as earning her Legion of Supreme Honor at the age of 7.  

Her brother Coco Polene solidified Shahcolate’s ability to produce when he was named a 2008 US Top Ten Futurity Working Cow Horse & in 2011, 2012 & 2013

was the US National Champion in AOTR Working Cow Horse as well as the 2013
