Biography
Set on the private family-owned island of Belcerchi in the northern Gulf of California, this small establishment has been home for the last forty-three years to a small herd of semi-wild Baluchi horses which have been painstakingly tracked down, tested for the highest percentage of purity, and imported to the island from all over the Middle East. The finder and importer of these horses was the late Nathaniel O'Mary, who was a great enthusiast of antique and ancient artifacts from the Baloch area of Balochistan. The aim of the Wolfe family patriarch, Jonathan Wolfe, is to preserve this breed of horse from extinction due to strife in it's home regions and from excessive crossbreeding and diluting of the original bloodlines. Now that he is getting up in his years, his youngest granddaughter is taking up his work. Along with the rare horses, she breeds and competes working show quality Belgian Malinois and Beaucerons. The island is also a safe haven for local sea life, particularly the critically endangered Vaquita which find the island a safehaven from boats and fishermen. There are only two outside visits per year to restock the island with a few basics, but Wolfe and O'Mary grow their own food, the horses roam the island freely all year long with supplemental hay when grazing gets scarce, and these restocking visits are done by helicopter to avoid disturbing the rare species of aquatic animals.
