The Arabian Horse Farm

R.O. Lervick Arabians is located in the Stillaguamish Valley about an hour's drive north of Seattle.  The Arabian horse farm sits on 30 acres and features a main 50-stall barn with a 70' x 160' covered arena, three heated wash racks, four "ready" rooms, two heated drying rooms, and two tack rooms.  Upstairs in the main barn are three offices, an apartment, restrooms, and a comfortably furnished viewing room that overlooks the indoor arena.

Surrounding the main barn are several pastures and paddocks lined with white board fence.  A 12-stall mare and foal barn includes sophisticated breeding facilities and laboratory.  Also on the premises is a 90' x 200' outdoor arena, covered bull pen and hot walker, a 10-stall overflow barn, a 60' x 80' hay storage barn, and two mobile homes for 24-hour staff.

The Family

Farm owners Roger and Linda Lervick are natives of Stanwood, Washington.  Roger Lervick is Chairman and CEO of Stanwood's family owned business, Twin City Foods, Inc., the largest independent frozen vegetable processor in the world.  The Lervicks first fell in love with Arabian horses when Grandpa Arne Lervick purchased a gelding for their daughter, Tammy, in 1973.  Over 30 years later, R.O. Lervick Arabians is 100+ horses strong and a well respected name in the Arabian horse industry.

The next generation of the Lervick family made their show ring debut during 1998.  Cheryl Lervick, daughter of Steve and Wendy Lervick, entered lead line competition at Region V with Grandpa Roger Lervick on the lead.  More years of family fun are on the way!

The Arabian Horses

R.O. Lervick Arabians is usually home to 90 to 100+ horses.  The star of the farm is Cytosk+++, the Lervick's chestnut Arabian stallion.  His show record includes U.S. National Reserve Champion English Pleasure, and he is a four- time national top ten winner in halter, pleasure driving, and informal combination.  Cytosk+++ has earned his Legion of Supreme Merit Award (indicated by the three pluses after his name) from the International Arabian Horse Association for his show ring achievements in halter and performance.  He has sired numerous regional and national champions.  Out Of Cyte, a gorgeous 1992 black son of Cytosk+++ out of a double *Serafix mare, also stands at the farm.  He has already sired regional and national champions.  The Lervicks also own several show horses and a reputable broodmare band.

The Arabian Horse Breeding Program

Manager/Trainer Dennis Wigren has a long list of national show ring credentials in Halter, English, Western, and Driving.  He also enjoys assisting amateurs to reach their show ring aspirations.  The farm staff consists of nine full-time employees including Breeding Manager Tague Johnson and Office Manager Julie Jones.  The farm's goals are to manage a training and breeding program that is recognized nationally for quality halter and performance horses and gain the respect of its clients and industry through professionalism and integrity.  The farm is open to the public.
