Kharousel Farm is owned and operated by me, Betty Chapman-Radtke, and my husband Ed Radtke.  Located in Clarkston, Washington, we are in the beautiful Lewis-Clark Valley at the confluence of the mighty Snake and Clearwater Rivers.  This valley is downstream from Hells Canyon and is the gateway to some of the most beautiful wilderness country in the world.  Many people visit here to enjoy fishing, hunting, rafting or jet boating the rapids, viewing wildlife and of course to play golf as our mild climate in this valley permits year-round golfing.

I was born and raised on a wheat farm about 35 miles from here and my first spoken word might have been “horse”.  I grew up riding some horses of undetermined pedigree.  My friends and I played rodeo and circus so our horses were raced, chased cows, and had riders doing questionable acrobatics like standing in the saddle.  When not riding or doing the long list of chores my parents deemed necessary I was reading the Walter Farley Black Stallion books.  At the age of 10 or 11 by doing ironing and some other chores I saved up the required $25.00 to breed my not so pretty palomino/pinto mare to the local doctor’s Arabian stallion.  I rode her to his farm.  She was turned out with the stallion.  My parents picked me up and three weeks later took me back to ride her home.  The following spring she gave birth to a pretty buckskin colt. My first Half Arabian started me on my life’s adventure.

I did not grow up a horse show kid.  We did not have shows in this area at that time.  I rode by the seat of my pants and experience was my teacher (some of the lessons were hard).  I married and eventually moved to Western Washington where I met some people who bred and showed Arabians.  In 1971, at age 25, I went to my first horse show.  I knew I had found what I was looking for and still love the show ring.  I started breeding and showing Arabian and Half Arabian horses and over time the horses and the rider improved.  I owned and bred some nice horses along the way but two special horses shaped the future.  In 1979 I purchased a skinny, longhaired, half broke pinto part bred mare.  This mare, Koman Charro+/ eventually became a Scottsdale champion, a Reserve National Champion and she produced three national champions.  In 1992 I had the opportunity of a lifetime.  I purchased my dream horse GS Khochise.  I had watched him in the ring for 6 years.  I had bred mares to him.  I always wanted to own him.  He became one of the most successful show horses of all time and has shaped my life.  Of his 38 national awards, 36 were won during the years he has owned me and I was on the lead or in the saddle for 16 of them.  In 1995 I sold my business to concentrate full time on Kharousel Farm.  In 2001 I relocated here to Clarkston.

2005 was another milestone.  In February we purchased our fabulous new colt, N.Y.N. Hisani (Marwan Al Shaqab x N.Y.N. Imara Versace).  He was chosen to breed to our Khochise daughters and of course to outside mares.  In his yearling year he was named Scottsdale Top Ten, Region 5 Champion, and U.S. National Top Ten.  In 2007 Hisani was named Candian National Champion Futurity Colt and U.S. Reserve National Champion Futurity Colt.  We look forward to the future with this exceptional young stallion.
