We are enthralled to have reconnected with Candy Peters, who bred the Antiquity's line on her farm from 1990. The Antiquity's line is the major known living Heck Tarpan line in North America other than the Catskills line, which was free range bred before the farm closed in 2006. After years of challenging work as an emergency physician and raising her children, Candy is ready once again to breed Tarpan horses. She just purchased and transported eight mares across the country from Virginia to her farm in the west. Candy has agreed that we call her an "Honorary Conservator."  She advises us about Tarpan horses, recounts their history, and with her doctor's eye for details, helps us maintain correct documentation of the breed. Welcome back, Candy!
