No horsing around, Conway’s love Arabians

At Conway Arabians of Chatfield, Minn., it is all about the horses. The work, the travel, the lack of sleep, the joy…. It is all about the horses, Arabian horses to be exact.
Peter and Lori Conway own Conway Arabians, and according to the business website, www.conwayarabians.com, the mission of Conway Arabians is “to breed, raise, and train, the finest Arabians and Half-Arabians in the world” which is what the owners and staff at Conway Arabians work toward each day. Peter’s daughter, Anna Zaffke, a highly regarded equestrian herself, is the farm manager and oversees those daily activities.
Lori Conway loved horses as a little girl, and owned her first horse in 1969. She started showing at a young age and through 4-H, started judging horses as well. She excelled at judging to the extent that by the age of 17 she was awarded a National Champion in judging at the 4-H and Arabian horse competitions and has continued to elite status in her field. Lori has received many accolades for her work, not only in judging but also as a horse trainer, instructor and showing horses to many National Championships.
Lori still rides and gives some lessons, but her life is more diversified now. The primary focus is judging horse shows in the U.S. and abroad, breeding their mares, handling the stallions for collection, foaling between 6-14 foals a year, managing horse shows and marketing the CA horses. She is involved in many club activities such as President of the MN Arabian Horse Association (MAHA) and Treasurer of the Arabian Professional & Amateur Horse Association (APAHA), which keep her very busy.
Peter enjoys his time in the barn watching the horses work and playing with the youngsters. Although he is busy as CEO of Halcon Corporation (www.halconcorp.com) in Stewartville, Minn., he is able to find time to volunteer his time as well. He is President of the Arabian English Pleasure Association (AEPA), where he was instrumental in having over $150,000 in prize money awarded to two classes at the US Nationals; a first for the Arabian breed. In addition to that, he is Vice President of the MN Arabian Horse Breeders (MAHB). He is in charge of the stallion service auction which has totaled well over $300,000 year after year.
When entering the office of Conway Arabians, the trophies, awards, and ribbons speak for themselves about the .....
