Member Spotlight
The Pyramid Society is
honored to have a long list of members who have supported us
year-in-and-year-out. We know you will enjoy reading about many of
your fellow members through our new monthly "Member Spotlight"
Amethyst Acres Equine Center Mark and Deb Burke 9195 Springwood Road Buchanan, VA 24066 Ph: (540) 254-1017 [email protected] www.amethystacres.com
Mark and Deb Burke, owners of Amethyst Acres Equine
Center, provide a complete
range of breeding services for mares and stallions, including phantom training,
semen collection and evaluation, semen cooling and freezing, frozen semen
storage and artificial insemination. They also offer 24-hour foal watch and
assisted foaling, as well as boarding, training and marketing services. Now in
its tenth year, Amethyst Acres is a 34-stall facility, located on 47 acres in
the beautiful Shenandoah Valley of Southwest Virginia, thirty minutes south of
the Lexington
Virginia Horse Center. While they provide services for
all breeds of horses, their personal passion is for the Straight Egyptian
Arabian. Mark began his love of Straight Egyptians when he took
his first job at Glorieta Ranch at the age of 10, and he has worked with
Arabians his entire career. After they were married in 1996, Mark and Deb moved
to Waco, Texas where Mark was the Breeding Manager at
Arabians Ltd. for two years. They returned to Virginia to open Amethyst Acres in 1999 and
now work closely with Arabians Ltd., hosting several Educational Conferences each
year to introduce newcomers to this beautiful and rare breed.
Since joining The Pyramid Society in 2002, Mark and Deb
have been regulars at the Egyptian Event and look forward to seeing old friends
and meeting new ones each year. They are anxiously awaiting the birth of their
first EBC foal this month by Thee Infidel.
