River Valley Arabians is a small attractive farm in the center of Scottsdale. Owner Rhonda Davis has some exquisite Arabian Mares including the 2004 Scottsdale Reserve Champion mare I M Ali (MAF Bey Ali x Imarri), and the Western Pleasure National Champion mare Pashahnata (Beythoven MC x Shai Princess). She also acquired the stunning yearling filly Goddess of Marwan (Marwan x Amety B) and in 2006 sold her. Goddess of Marwan won the title Unanimous National Champion Yearling Filly in 2006. In my opinion, with mares like these, River Valley Arabians will soon be breeding Internationally winning Champions.

Once inside the gates of River Valley Arabians, you enter a small-secluded Arabian Horse Farm located just minutes from WestWorld Equestrian Center where the Scottsdale Arabian Horse Show is held yearly. This show is the world’s largest gathering of Quality Arabian Horses, and Arabian Stallions.

As an Arabian Breeder, our goal is to produce the finest quality Arabians For Sale. Our Arabian Horses consistently possess wonderful dispositions and show attitudes, and also make great performance horses. We hand-raise each of our Arabian Foals from birth ensuring they are handled daily in order to instill a confident and gentle spirit.
We are dedicated to providing unsurpassed quality care, health management and proper nutrition for the Arabian Horses For Sale at our ranch. Our ultimate ambition is to maintain and enhance the qualities of soundness, type and conformation.
We feed premium timothy hay and Colorado orchard grass, along with Fastrack, (the #1 microbial in America ) and Triple Crown Feeds, the #1 premier horse feed in the United States, and they are consistently voted the “Best Feeds” in America by the Horse Journal. This feed is 16-22% non-structured carbohydrates (low carb, high calories) depending on which stage of life is chosen. The company’s focus is to provide the very best nutrition to horses utilizing the newest nutritional knowledge and innovated ingredients available in the marketplace today. This feed is well worth the price and we suggest it to everyone who wants to keep their horses healthy and reduce the number of man made diseases.
We feed our Arabian horses the recommended poundage for their size and divide it into four meals a day. By feeding horses often, one avoids many of the man-made diseases so prevalent today, i.e. laminitis, founder, tying up, ulcers and colic. We are proud to say our halter and performance horses are also on the Succeed Digestive Conditioning Program when sent to a trainer’s barn and we have had great success with it. We have not had any health issues since adopting this diet plan and our vet bills have dramatically reduced other than normal maintenance for the horses.
We offer Full Board and conditioning; stalls with grass paddocks attached, daily pasture turnout, mare and foal care, all at reasonable rates.
Our treasured broodmares and foals reside in a stable that has a state of the art misting system, on a secluded country setting with four grass paddocks and mountain views. The horse property has room for 16 horses, including tack room, feed room, grooming and wash bays, a blanket/equipment storage room, barn for hay storage, and two stallion stalls. There is a 100 x 200 riding arena, and one 60 foot round pen. There is also a covered mare motel with misters for cooling the horses during extreme heat. A tall block wall surrounds the entire farm. The four grass paddocks and mare motel are fenced with white iron 4-rail fencing. The entire facility is designed for comfort of the horses, efficiency of operation and most importantly, safety for the horses.
 The objective at River Valley Arabians is to offer a rewarding, low stress and horse-friendly atmosphere to the Arabian horses. We care about our animals’ mental and physical well-being. The barn was remodeled and designed to be spacious with ample airflow and natural light streaming in. Each stall has open fronts and our Arabian horses enjoy being part of a “herd atmosphere.” Each horse spends about six hours a day playing and eating grass outside. They simply love coming home and being horses when not in a show barn environment.
River Valley Arabians has earned a reputation for being ethical, dedicated, compassionate, caring – and above all – honest and kind to the animals in our care. The number one priority at the ranch is caring for our “jewels of the desert”.
