Josh is also getting into the competitive spirit and will be conditioning, training and competing with the horses as well.While working as a trainer for Harmony Arabians in Camden, AR, she got started in Endurance riding, training and conditioning. She purchased one of their prospects as a 2 year old, trained him, and went on to take a 1997 National Top Ten 100 mile event. Multi Top Ten at Regional Level.

Arabi also spent 8 years as a veterinarian technician and working in emergency/critical care, surgery, lab tech, dental tech, treatments, client education; specializing in multi species nutritional management. Here is where she was motivated to become a wildlife rehabilitator and open a sanctuary/refuge for all species.

She spent 4 years working with the mentally and physically challenged on how to ride and care for horses as well as training horses for "voice commands" to help customers with communication aids.

Arabi also enjoys working Hunter/Jumper. She is currently adding dressage to her repertoire and has worked her way up to national level which she is very proud of.

Josh and Arabi moved to Oklahoma in December of 2006, purchasing a neglected piece of land whose beauty shined through the debris and weeds.  A week after being on the farm, they found a hidden pond and decided to call their new place, Hidden Water Farm.

The property is special for so many reasons and is constantly being improved. The Petersons invite you and your equine family to stop by and experience the subtle charm of Hidden Water Farm.
