"I recently bought CKM Rasheeka from CheckMate Arabians farm video. I've never bought a horse sight unseen before, but the quality of the horses and the forthrightness and honesty of Doug and Woody has made this a very positive and rewarding experience. Rasheeka was everything they said she was; beautiful, tall, and good tempered. Doug has been very involved and helpful at every step of the process, in getting Rasheeka ready to travel, following up with the transport company, and being supportive once the filly arrived. It's too bad they are dispersing; I would love to continue to do business with them! They are models of ethical behavior!"

"After a long search and then receiving and viewing a sales video from CheckMate Arabians the decision was instantaneous. A pretty mare with loads of flash and motion was to be our first Straight Egyptian mare. We now enjoy CKM Sabiha Nada's high tail carriage and strutting front legs everyday.  How she got out on her third day here I don't know, but sipping my morning coffee I saw her loose, with no halter right next to the stallion who was turned out in the large arena.  As I walked right up to her and haltered her, with the stallion (Sugar Rae Shahin) screaming next to her, my thoughts were Thank You CheckMate Arabians for the fine upbringing and handling on this mare. She is a sweet lady and a pleasure to own."

We can't thank Doug and Woody at Checkmate Arabians enough for their incredible cooperation in helping us in such a timely fashion. When I called them regarding purchasing CKM Maar Shallaa (we own her Grandmother Maar Nabiela), I had their video in a couple of days. I could not go up and see her, so I had a lot of questions.  All were answered promptly and honestly. We were so impressed with their lovely horses that we purchased TWO! The elegant CKM Maar Shallaa and the beautiful mover, CKM Desert Star. Doug and Woody only had one hours notice that the hauler was coming (just one of those things) and it was not a problem, and the next day these two gorgeous horses stepped off the trailer at our home. And they are as sweet as they are beautiful. Thank you Doug and Woody for making this such a pleasurable experience!

Woody- The picture of the three fillies is incredible, it looks like the shot of a lifetime, that photograph is well worth framing. I have a painting called "One-Two-Three", three race horses crossing the finish line and your photo is better than that painting!

Congratulations to Dr Rob Lydon of Manton, CA on the purchase of two mares AK Sardana and CKM Crown Jewel. Dr Lydon already has bought our outstanding Stallion Dia Karma Bay who is proving himself in endurance.
Also Dr Lydon has aquired another of our geldings from one of our past customers Dia Al Rasan. He is many times champion in ride and tie.
