 History of Aranaway Farm

Aranaway Farm is located in the beautiful Applegate River Valley in Southern Oregon.

Mary Anne and Carl

Mary Anne Morrison and her husband, Carl Schwenke, have a deep sense of pride and joy in their accomplishments as breeders and the evolution of Aranaway Farm. Blessed with beautiful and outstanding horses and years of successful Morgan breeding, Aranaway Farm has a reputation for excellent service in the Morgan Industry.

For almost fifty years, Aranaway Farm has been the source of outstanding breeding and show animals. Here you will find the impeccable union of superior genetics. The proof of these horses lies in their ability to produce and perform.

Phil Morrison with Arana FieldMany people ask why we named our farm "ARANAWAY". It was derived from one of our foundation stallions, Arana Field, who's life was saved as a weanling by a man named Tony Arana. All of the resulting foals were named with the Arana prefix and they did so well in the show ring that it was a common statement, if you wanted to win, you better do it the "Arana-Way." Thus, the name was adopted as our prefix. To the right is a photo of Phil with the great Arana Field.

Mary Anne Morrison is an excellent and versatile trainer and show woman. She competes successfully in every division of the Morgan World. Mary Anne is a "R" AHSA Morgan judge and has judged throughout the US, as well as Canada.  She had judged the first Morgan horse show in Germany and most recently judged the National Show for Morgans in England.  Her mentor, teacher, and father was the late Phil Morrison, a noted Morgan trainer, breeder, and judge who judged the Grand National and World Championship Show three times, and nearly every other major Morgan and Arabian show in the nation including the Arab Nationals. Phil was inducted into the Morgan Horse Hall of Fame in the spring of 1996. Phil with the great Sonoma is shown below.

Phil Morrison and SonomaWe are currently standing a full complement of stallions. These include QP Alabama, The Millionaire, Aranaway Atlas, and Aranaway Ali Kas, owned by Sue and Ron Crume of Grants Pass, Oregon. Recently added to our breeding barn is Marro Medallion, our imported purebred Andalusian stallion and the exciting imported Lusitano Stallion from Brazil, Cordon Negro. We utililize semen transport methods. We also have a large herd of broodmares, six of whom are UVM Promise daughters, and each year there is a lovely selection of foals for sale. We currently have an extraordinary group of weanlings, yearlings, two and three year-olds in training and for sale.Ashley on Aranaway Fire One
