Dave, Vicki, and Alexis Scott began their love affair with Arabian and Half-Arabian horses 18 years ago. From then on, the Scotts have enjoyed a long and successful life with the horses they've come to know and love. Beginning at Ridgemont Arabians, Alexis Scott and Erin Carlson honed their skills with Arabian horses and, starting at the ages of three and four, became adept at the Western, Hunter, and Saddle Seat styles of riding. Throughout their youth careers, Alexis and Erin won many prestigious awards including a combined 12 National Championships. In 2006, Alexis finished out her youth career by becoming a member of Team USA at the Saddle Seat Equitation World Cup competition in Parys, South Africa, where the team successfully defended the 2004 Gold Medal. In 2008, the Scotts decided that it was time to play a bigger role in the Arabian horse industry, and add some new talent to the mix. From then on, Alexis and Erin have dedicated their skills to teaching others how to learn and enjoy the Arabian horse as much as they do.
