R.O. Lervick Arabians

Our History: The Lervicks first fell in love with Arabian horses when Grandpa Arne Lervick purchased a gelding for their daughter, Tammy, in 1973.  Over 50 years later, R.O. Lervick Arabians is still a strong, well respected name in the Arabian horse industry.

Farm owners Roger and Linda Lervick are natives of Stanwood, Washington.  Roger Lervick was Chairman and CEO of Stanwood's family owned business, Twin City Foods, Inc., the largest independent frozen vegetable processor in the world.  Roger passed in 2023 and Linda is carrying on their commitment to the Arabian Horse.

The Farm: R.O. Lervick Arabians is located in the Stillaguamish Valley about an hour's drive north of Seattle.

The Arabian horse farm sits on 30 acres and features a main 50-stall barn with a 70' x 160' covered arena, three heated wash racks, four "ready" rooms, two heated drying rooms, and two tack rooms.  Upstairs in the main barn are three offices, an apartment, restrooms, and a comfortably furnished viewing room that overlooks the indoor arena.

Surrounding the main barn are several pastures and paddocks lined with whiteboard fence.  A 12-stall mare and foal barn includes sophisticated breeding facilities and laboratory.  Also on the premises is a 90' x 200' outdoor arena, covered bull pen and hot walker, a 10-stall overflow barn, a 60' x 80' hay storage barn, and 24-hour staff.

What We Do: Manager/Trainer Dennis Wigren and Trainer Cari Maritz have a long list of national show ring credentials in Halter, English, Western, Hunter, and Driving.  

With over 25 years of professional collaboration and friendship, Dennis Wigren and Cari Maritz united their training operations in 2024 to broaden R.O. Lervick's influence and uphold its legacy as a top facility for the nation's premier Arabian and Half-Arabian show horses. Together, they bring a remarkable 75+ years of experience to the table, with national champion titles in both the halter and performance main rings. Dennis enjoys assisting amateurs to reach their show ring aspirations.  The farm staff consists of ten full-time employees.
The farm's goals are to:

• Manage a training program & breeding program that are both nationally recognized for quality halter & performance horses.
• Gain the respect of its clients and the industry through professionalism and integrity.   

Our farm is open to the public.
