A word from Jill :
I am very excited to have had the Morab horse enter my life. Before the chance came to train at Half Moon farm , I would have ignored the breed completely . I was so immersed in the Quarter Horse world. These horses have changed my mind completely. The Half Moon Morabs are so versatile! On any given day I will be riding extended trots and half passes, then spins and rollbacks.
The Morabs amaze me with their willingness and understanding personality.
I am proud to say that my new Western Pleasure horse is a Morab!
Jill and Half Moons Behira
Jim and I are very excited to now be able to officially call Jill our trainer. She has done an awesome job with everyone that she has worked with here. Including training LM Black Powder and LM Red Flare, who went to Canadian Nationals and was the Reserve Champion Mare. She has taken to Half Moons Behira the most, training and showing her often.
