From Champion to Legacy: Blacklord Nyte’s Next Chapter


Before Blacklord Nyte became the heart of a preservation mission, he was already making a name for himself in the show ring, and later in life to present day, in the hearts of the people he quietly helped heal and continues to heal.

From 2000 to 2008, Nyte competed across the Pacific Northwest, earning championship titles and turning heads in more than one discipline. His talent, versatility, and stunning conformation made him a standout but truly it's his heart that makes him unforgettable.

🥇 Gold in Halter at the Crabbet Arabian Show

🏆 Grand Champion in Western Pleasure at the Oregon State Fair

🎖️ Multiple championships in both English Hunter Pleasure and Western Pleasure at the Pasco Track in Washington

Nyte isn't just good he is exceptional. He competed in both English and Western Pleasure with ease, something few horses even within the Arabian breed can claim. Judges noticed. Spectators remember him.

When the show circuit slowed down in 2008, Nyte entered a new chapter: one of quiet service. He became a therapy horse, offering his calm, grounded energy to those who needed comfort. Nyte had already proven himself in the ring, and now he proved himself in ways no ribbon could ever represent.

At 29 years old, he still carries himself like the champion he is with pride, presence, and a quiet nobility that speaks of decades of careful breeding and heartfelt partnership.

But his greatest contribution may still lie ahead. With your support, we hope to give Nyte one final role: founding sire of the next generation, preserving a rare combination of Al Khamsa and Babson bloodlines that run in his lineage that are vanishing fast in today’s breeding world.

Stay tuned we’ll be announcing something exciting soon that gives you a chance to help write Nyte’s next chapter!

Warmly, The Applegate Arabians NW Team

Welcome to  Applegate Arabians NW , where heritage lives on and hearts run deep. We’re a small but passionate team consisting of  Melissa ,  Kristy , Ladora, and  Jasmine, whom were  brought together by one extraordinary Arabian stallion named  Blacklord Nyte (Knight) . Nyte’s story begins decades ago with Melissa’s mother who a devoted lover of the Arabian breed, who dreamed of producing a foal that would carry forward the rare and regal bloodlines of  Blacklord Arabi  and  F.B. Raven . That dream became reality in  1996 , when  Nyte  was born a stallion blessed with the fire, intelligence, and heritage of both  Babson Egyptian  and  Al Khamsa  lineage. Nyte’s sire,  Blacklord Arabi , was a stallion of rare quality. More than just a beautiful horse, Arabi was the embodiment of the classic Arabian ideal. He was known for a refined, dished head, expressive eyes, an arched neck, and floating, effortless m...

Announcing the Blacklord Nyte Breeding Raffle

Nyte on 06/014/2025 enjoying his pasture. We’re thrilled to launch something special and create a way for our community to directly support Blacklord Nyte’s preservation, and maybe even bring home a piece of his legacy! 🎟️ To raise the funds needed to begin Nyte’s artificial insemination (AI) training and collection process, we’re raffling off two breedings to him either live cover or shipped semen (if available). 🐎 Two randomly selected winners will each receive one breeding to Blacklord Nyte. Winners may choose live cover or shipped semen, depending on availability. Shipped semen is dependent on successful AI collection. Nyte has never done AI before so this is his first time, and we’re hoping to make it work with the right vet care and support. If AI proves viable, we’ll proceed with shipping options. If not, breedings will be offered via live cover only. Either way, you’re entering to be part of something deeply rare and meaningful: helping preserve a disappearing bloodline. ...
