Excaliber Stables was founded in 1993
when the Basham family purchased their first miniature horse. They were
hooked and continued to buy more minis and eventually added Shetland
ponies to their show string and breeding program.
Brenda took over as main exhibitor and
trainer, only using professional trainers when needed. Her parents, Pam
and Carroll Basham, continued to be the financial and moral support. They
loved to watch the foals play, and Brenda and the herd were consistently
improving.
In 1999, Jason Prince and his son,
Taylor, joined the farm. Jason brought with him knowledge and experience
from working with Arabs and Saddlebreds. Taylor brought amazing natural
ability to show halter and drive. Both have been a great addition to
Excaliber Stables.
After a few years of showing in amateur
classes and winning many AMHR National titles & ASPC Congress titles
and being under the tutelage of some of the top trainers in the Shetland
and miniature industries, in 2007 Jason & Brenda opened Excaliber
Training Stables. They continue to work hard with the miniatures and
ponies to win more national titles for their clients and themselves.
