Bell's Merri-Hill Arabians has been in business since 1965. They started with one purebred mare, Ross Miss Fancy (Habu x Ross Amirrah), of Cedardell breeding. Ross Miss Fancy produced six fillies in a row and then produced twins, that lived, were sold and are still together on a farm.

Over the years the Bells have stood stallions including Rampart+ (x Bask), Zhivagohhh (x Abdulahhh), Zamaar (x Gamaar) a two-time U.S. Reserve Champion Stock Horse, Gdaan (x Cognac by Bask). Gdaan was third in the U.S. Nationals as a Park Horse and Canadian National Champion in Formal Combination, and Gailul (x Dalul).

With transported semen, the Bells stopped standing a stallion. "We have excellent producing mares and breed them to the best stallions that we think will complement them," says Martha Bell.

They presently own 13 purebreds, including offspring by Psymadré, Versace, TF Psymreekhe, *Shaklans Padron NA, Desperado V, Thee Desperado, Thee Asil, Magnum Opus, Major Afire, Magnum Psyche, Odyessy and MPA Giovanni.

More recently, Merri Madre (x Psymadré) was a 2002 Top Ten Yearling Filly. Merri Precious (x Versace) was unanimous champion Medallion Filly at the 2003 MAHB fall Festival winning over 53 other fillies.

The Bells have also had national futurity winners and like the program. "The quality of the horses continues to increase and a futurity win gives recognition for your breeding program as well as financial rewards," they say.

They prefer the three-judge system as well as the judging program used at the Egyptian Event They don't however approve of judges showing horses under another judge.
