Several years ago, because of several back surgeries, my
neurosurgeon advised no more horseback riding. We had
raised Arabians for years & my answer to the surgeon was
found at Bellissima Farms & the beautiful Peruvian Paso horse.
I found that at Bellissima Farms, Susie had the experience &
skills to be able to match the horse w/ the rider - not only based
on skill & experience, but also on temperament of horse, rider &
the ability to meet the needs presented by each. The match-
making of horse & rider is carefully thought out at Bellissima
Farms in order to put into place the various factors, which will
allow you & your horse to become partners in Equus.

Thanks for introducing us to the breed - they have sweet temperaments, are well mannered & trained to show the brionne looks for in a Peruvian Paso. We appreciated the time & patience - assuring us the right ",arch" of horse & rider. We also appreciated the lack of sales pressure. We're both pleased w/ our "boys" from Bellissima Farms.

I am writing to let you know how happy my husband & I are w/ our Peruvian Paso. This is our first horse & we could not have acquired a better horse for us. She has been patient w/ us as we learned how to put on her bridle & saddle. She has a beautiful gait & many a person has come up to me & asked what kind of horse she is. I feel sorry for people that have the bouncy, non-gaited horses that leave you w/ a pain under your ribs. I have ridden a couple of those & couldn't wait to get off! Thank you so much for all your help in picking out just the right horse for us. Our family has really enjoyed Sombre & hope to acquire another Peruvian Paso in the near future.

Nearly 4 yrs. ago, my wife & I purchased a home in Scottsdale. It just so happened to have a small barn & arena on the property. We thought that it might be fun to have a couple of horses, since we had the room & horse facility on the property. We weren't sure on the breed of horse that we wanted to purchase. We started going to various horse shows - looked at Quarter horses, Arabians & numerous other breeds. We finally ended up going to an all-gaited horse show & became intrigued w/ the Peruvian Paso horse. We studied the breed & became even more interested when we discovered the history & background on this very unique animal. We visited a number of ranches & then called the local Peruvian Paso Club where we got the name of Bellissima Farms. We explained that we had not ridden in awhile & that we were interested in purchasing 2 trail horses. I cannot begin to tell you how our paradigm has changed over the last 4 years. Susie &her staff showed us a # of beautiful horse & within a couple of days we found 2 really wonderful horses. They were strong, sound & reasonably priced. Over the last few years, we have purchased 4 additional horses from Bellissima Farms.& her entire staff have made owning horses a pleasure. Their extensive knowledge of the Peruvian horse has been incredibly helpful. We may have gotten a little carried away, as we now have 8 horses in the barn. But, if you are considering becoming a first time horse owner or you are an experienced horseperson looking for quality, then Bellissima Farms should be on the top of your list.
Bellissima Farms is all about integrity, honesty & quality.

When Susie asked what we thought of Bellissima Farms, I asked my 14 year old daughter Katrina to write down some of her thoughts:
*She helped us sell our horse.
*She was there for us when I lost my first horse.
*She offered for us to come to her ranch to put down our horse - she didn't even know us.
*She offered me to come to her ranch to help.
*She wanted me to get into horses, so she got me involved in BRAVO!
*She didn't want us to get turned away from horses because of our bad experience.
* She offered for me to go to her ranch w/my horse & train both of us for free - just so I would get to ride
* The people at her ranch were very nice to us & offered to help us & teach us stuff
*She tries to get us involved in as much as possible
*She's a nice person to deal with & will try to help in anyway! She also has the nicest people working for her.

Bellissima Farms is the place to look for the horse of your dreams. We looked & talked to other breeders, but Bellissima (Susie) was the most helpful. We told Susie what we needed & she said if she did not have it, she would fine it for us - & she did just that. True to her word, we ended up w/ the horse that was perfect for us. After all is said & done, we now have 5 Peruvian Pasos - all thru Susie's help, including 1 beautiful baby out of Bellissima Farms stallion, Sindical. We have a great respect for the knowledge, caring & help we have received from all at Bellissima Farms. Thanks for all you do for us.

After our horse troubles, my family & I decided it was time to get another horse. We decided we wanted a BFII horse because I have ridden horses that are BFII & horses that are not BFII. BFII horses are so much kinder, smarter, behave better, are prettier, have a better gait, & are gentle (they care about their rider). So we went to Susie's ranch & looked at horses. We saw this beautiful grey mare who was the sweetest thing in the world. She came right over to us & started to follow & l0ove on us. The mare turned out to be Fatima - daughter of the famous Sindical+. I fell in love w/ her looks & personality. Therefore, we talked to Susie & discussed purchasing Fatima - who had just turned 3. She had to stay at Susie's & finish her training - so far - it has been the greatest experience ever. I know we will spend a lifetime together - we will accomplish many interesting things.
