## Resource

In this episode of the We LOVE Arabian Horses Podcast, we sit down with Joel Desmarteau of Markelle Arabians , a respected breeder known for his disciplined and highly focused approach to producing world-class Arabian horses. Markelle Arabians is based near Atlanta, GA. Joel shares how his journey began, from a horse-obsessed kid in Oregon to building a globally recognized breeding program rooted in patience, intention, and consistency. At the heart of his program is a powerful philosophy: build from the mare line and stay the course . Rather than chasing trends or short-term wins, Joel has focused on creating a predictable, reliable breeding program built on a strong tail-female line. We talk about: • The importance of consistency over “flash” • Lessons from horses like Mirage and Alara • How global trends have influenced his program • Why patience and discipline are everything in breeding • The future direction of the Arabian horse This is a thoughtful and grounded conversation about what it really takes to build something meaningful in the Arabian horse world.
