Scott & Carolyn Gipson of Alvarado, Texas have been
breeders of high performance Arabian horses since 1971. In the early 70's, Carolyn's
father, the retired Arabian Racing Association of California Hall of Fame Trainer Chuck
Tolbert, began the family legacy of breeding extraordinary performance horses by using the
*Witez II son, WITRAFF (photo below on left), BASK-O-ZEL (photo below
on right), the 1980 National Champion Racehorse, and the
famous mare, FAGAI, International Arabian Horse Association Horse of the Year and
Filly of the Year (the first mare ever to be so honored). Photo in the
center is Samba, by Witraff, working cattle. Expanding on the family's early
successes, with the extensive knowledge and insight of Carolyn's expertise in Arabian
performance genetics, they have focused on mares, that embody extreme athleticism within
their blood, and that have multiple stakes and race winners within their tail female
lines. A very important member of the breeding
program has been the 28 year old *Orzel son, MAGUS (photo below,
left), who was acquired in
1991.
Magus is the result of a classic outcross in breeding terms. Even
though his book was limited to only 3 mares each of his first two years at stud he is on
the Top 20 List of Producing Race Sires in the US today. The combined record of all
Magus’ get as of December 15, 1997 is 164 races, 28 Wins, 22 Seconds, 25 Thirds and
18 Stakes Wins or Placings. Those horses begin with the multiple stakes winner & two
time Darley nominee AMAZING SON, (pictured
above, right) multiple winner and stakes winner Benediction
Col, the stakes placed filly and winner Mercy Mercy, stakes placed colt
and winner Swing King and My Man Gus and winners, Amaysing Grace,
Sweet Talker, Cardsharp, Orly and the stakes winning
grandson, d'Este Gotcha
We are now taking a new turn into the future to add longevity to our breeding goals, and also to expand
our horizons in marketing. A few years
ago, we began
a breeding
program to produce World Class athletic individuals that are Palominos and Buckskins,
while combining the beauty, intelligence and durability of the Arabian with the
size, quietness and ability of
Hollywood White,
who is a Perlino Quarter Horse. With this combination we are producing double registered horses with the beauty of
the Palomino and Buckskin that will be appropriate for show, pleasure or
reining companions. We have foals of his in homes across the country. Click here to see
