When Connie Murphy (Noble), owner of Ginger Lynn Farms, moved to the North
Valley in 1976, one of the first people she met was the owner of Elsinore Abufarza. Farza was charismatic, intelligent, and everything
she had envisioned an Arabian to be. She was hooked. She had to have one just
like him. On this same occasion, the owner of LJ Arabians was at the ranch and told
her of a colt he had for sale by Farza. Connie had not fathomed owning a colt let
alone standing a stallion. But sure enough, the colt was everything she wanted! Thus
the beginning and total basis for creating Ginger Lynn Farms
From the time Connie brought Ezra Home, he
has been the grand master of the farm, and the sole reason for the
farms success. Ezra has reinstalled the image of what the classic
Arabian should be. He has proven himself as versatile, intelligent,
devoted, and as having the most wonderful attitude the Lord could
give a creature. Additionally, to anyone that's had the pleasure of
knowing him, he truly has an extremely addictive personality all his
own. Lucky for us, he has made it one of the traits he passed on to
his children, over 170 in all! In his lifetime, Ezra has been on the racetrack, pulled Santa in the
Christmas Parades, won in Driving, Country and English pleasure, Halter, Side Saddle, and Native Costume
classes. In addition to this marvelous career, he has stood at stud
at Murel Lacey's Training Center in Walnut Creek, California.
Due to untimely circumstances, Ezra went
sterile at age 18. At this time, Connie decided to geld him for his
peace of mind. Now this horse, that has given so much to others, can
live out his retirement years with the companionship of one of the
brood mares at the ranch and be content.
