McDonald Arabians represents a bright spot in the Arabian Horse industry that brings together passion, family, Arabian horses, and success. Elite Arabian trainer, Gary McDonald is one of those fortunate professionals who has turned a lifelong love into his vocation, and while the championships come in abundance, Gary will tell you that “accomplishments become quickly outdated.” The emphasis at his facility is on the thrill of competition, win or lose, and the joy it brings the people involved with the beautiful horses.

When it comes to training, Gary’s philosophy includes the maxim “Less is more.” “I am methodical in my training techniques and aim to let the horses show themselves off by keeping them relaxed and happy. Given the focus we have on amateurs here at McDonald Arabians, it is important that my horses go into the arena with confidence and a solid foundation so their amateur owners can enter the arena with confidence as well.”

“The Arabian horse is and always has been a family experience for us, so it is natural for us to also encourage our clients to include the whole family in the Arabian experience. This is the core of the philosophy that drives us here at the farm.” It is obvious that Gary’s enthusiasm and passion are contagious as McDonald Arabians, LLC. continues to grow and succeed down the very path they outlined – one of integrity, passion, people, family, and of course, beautiful Arabian horses.
