About Us

Doubling Gap Ranch is a family-owned working Ranch located in central Pennsylvania, just outside Newville, PA. We have over 300 acres nestled in the foothills of the beautiful blue mountains. Our family and facilities are dedicated to the development of quality Arabian and Quarter horses.

Our Quarter horses are foundation-bred from Texas ranges where they have been raised in an open pasture ranch environment. They offer superior dispositions as well as substance on a beautiful roan coat. Simply stated this allows a horse to be a horse, first.

Our Arabian horses descend from coveted blood of sires who are now deceased. We are proud to stand sons of PVA Karrim and Ansata Halim Shah. This is only the beginning to Doubling Gap Ranch's future in Egyptian Arabian horses.

We know the background of every horse we own. Our program emphasizes and continues with the benefits from being able to live in a natural herd environment while moving through our high-touch methods. Our program creates a soft, good minded, horse with a strong foundation that enables the horse and rider to move in any direction when they leave us.

We also stock cattle year-round providing the opportunity for all of our horses, cattle dogs, and clients to experience real ranch activities.

Our ranch and horses are supported by expert resources from the fields of agronomy, healthcare, nutrition, training, and handling. This includes working closely with professional nutritionists to optimize the growth and conditions required to provide healthy horses that can stand up to the rigors of training and work.

Our horses have been also handled by some of the top trainers in the US who focus on traditional training methods.
