| ASA Farm is committed to breeding the finest Polish bloodlines |
ASA Farm is committed to breeding the finest Polish and Pure Polish performance bloodlines that are available today, in order to preserve and protect the unique qualities of the magnificent Arabian horse and to maintain an individual that is genetically prepotent within a concentrated gene pool. We breed not only for performance horses that have Arabian beauty and type, but also can be used as "seed stock" for the production of future generations of beautiful, winning Arabians, that will continue to breed “true”.
We have DIRECT daughters of Gdansk++, MHR Nobility, Cognac, Promotion, *Pepi PASB, Monogramm and Negatraz. Our stallion is BONNE VIVANT, a direct Monogramm son out of Bonne Cherie by *Bandos x Bonfieree by *Bask++ x *Boltonka++. We occasionally use outside stallions to add an extra dimension to our gene pool.
We are glad to mentor new people in Arabians and have been breeding Pure Polish Arabians for more than 25 years and Arabians and Half-Arabians for over three decades. We occasionally offer show and breeding-quality Arabians for sale.
We have bred National and Regional Winners in English Pleasure, Pleasure Driving and Park, and have bred National and International Champions in Italian Greyhound Dogs. We have also bred Champion Saluki dogs. We even have a Russian Champion living in Finland!
Our stallion, BONNE VIVANT, is both a REGIONAL RES CHAMPION HALTER STALLION ("main ring") AND a REGIONAL CHAMPION STALLION SPORT-HORSE-IN-HAND (with the highest score of the show in the largest Regional in the Country!) and proven sire of high quality foals, combines the beauty of the Arabian with the performance ability of the *Bask++ line. His eyes will soften your heart!
God bless and enjoy your Arabians which are clearly a gift from above!

ASA Farm
By Dixie Fenton
Cheryl Showah, owner of ASA Farm located in the historic town of Washington Depot, Connecticut, has been breeding Arabian horses since the late 1960s. Gaining the attention of Lois Selby Perry, daughter of the famous Roger Selby, who imported *Raffles from Lady Wentworth’s Crabbet Park Stud in 1932, Cheryl was offered a financial grant in 1975 from The Arabian Horse Owner’s Foundation to study *Raffles at the (then) Arabian Horse Registry of America, Inc. Cheryl then graduated from Cal-Poly studying equine science under the expert tutelage of William Hughes and Norman Dunn. “I am very grateful to have had the opportunity to spend countless hours ‘on the rail’ with Bill, Norm, Gladys Brown Edwards and Frank and Helen McCoy, among many other prominent Arabian devotees,” Cheryl said.
Cheryl’s breeding program progressed and she acquired her first Pure Polish horse in 1983, a direct daughter of *Sambor++, and a ¾ sister to the National Champion Racehorse, Samtyr++. Bred to the then Leading Living Sire of National Champions, Wisdom (*Bask++ x Wizteria by *Bask++), she produced a horse named Mr. Wisdom, who went on to win numerous national titles with his new owners Julie and Bill Wrigley. Cheryl owned the famous mare, Nadjana (Gdansk++ x *Negotka), ¾ sister to the legendary Negatraz. Nadjana won the Open English class at Scottsdale as a 3 year-old and sold for $700,000 before Cheryl acquired the mare. Her horses also included a direct offspring of *Amfibia, Wisdom, Gwasz El Ajzaa, and the National Champion Promotion (ex *Prowizja). Promotion is an interesting Polish phenomenon as he was a National Winning Park horse, sired by a National Winning Park horse and out of a National Winning Park horse – and he has three full siblings who won National Championships in Park – Ibn Prowizja (1976), Cometego (1978) and Pro-Fire (1980).
Currently, Cheryl has collected an impressive group of broodmares which include her Pure Polish direct daughters of Gdansk++, Cognac (tail-female to Balalajka), three Promotion daughters, a Negatraz daughter out of *Cyrenajka (who sold for $101,000 at the Polish Prestige sale), two daughters of three-time US National Champion Park Horse MHR Nobility++, an English Champion daughter of *Pepi PASB (a Celebes son) and a direct Monogramm*** daughter, with the same tail-female line as *Ecaho.
Bonne Vivant (Monogramm x Bonne Cherie by *Bandos x Bonfieree), ASA Farm’s herdsire, is a multiple Regional Champion Stallion in both main-ring and sport horse, and a multiple Grand Champion. Son of the world-famous Monogramm, and out of one of the most beautiful daughters of *Bandos, Bonne Cherie, daughter of Bonfieree, who sold as a part of a 3 mare package for $3.6 million back in the 80’s. He is a beautiful bay with four white socks and a faint star and snip.
According to the Polish Arabian horse expert Tomasz Skotnicki,“Bonne Vivant’s pedigree is difficult to match. The horse is bred close to *Bask++ and he has similar movement and character. It is amazing coming from someone who still remembers well ‘the Great One’. He is a breeder’s dream. COME MAKE HISTORY!”
Bonne Vivant is standing at JONESBOROUGH FARM, owned by Larry and Rie (Young) Jones. Larry, formerly the trainer at the famous DUNROMIN' FARM (where he showed *Kawalkada to her National Champion Mare title, and helped to choose the magnificent stallion, *Penitent for their farm) is doing a magnificent job with BONNE VIVANT, who was named the REGION 15 GRAND CHAMPION STALLION SPORT-HORSE-IN-HAND in 2008, at the BIGGEST REGIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP SHOW this year (US and Canada), AND with the HIGHEST SCORE OF THE SHOW in sport horse!
Cheryl, who was featured on the Martha Stewart Omnimedia TV Show PetKeeping with Marc Morrone, also breeds National and International Champion Italian Greyhounds, proving that animals are central to this family. “With seven little toy dogs and over twenty Arabians and two American Saddlebreds (daughters of the World Grand Champion HARLEM GLOBETROTTER nonetheless!), life is quite hectic but very enjoyable, thanks to the wonderful animals that we have been blessed with,” smiles Cheryl. “May God bless you, your families and your animals and may your adventures with Arabian horses be as wonderful as ours have.” |
