Paradise mourns the sudden and unexpected loss of our beloved Executive Chef, Chip Mercer. Chip had been a member of the Paradise family since early 2007 and never failed to amaze us with his culinary creations, which he took great pride in preparing to the highest standards. Visitors from all over the world were blessed with his food during their trips to Paradise, and we were privileged to enjoy it each day at work. He was happy to share his expertise with others and provided many of his best-loved dishes as Recipes of the Week on our website.

In addition to filling the Paradise kitchen with his expert cuisine, Chef Mercer grew his own heirloom produce and organic gardens and added a beautiful touch to the Paradise grounds with his professional landscaping talent. He loved the many animals that call Paradise home and could often be found sneaking gourmet treats to his favorites.

Paradise owner Gary Kenworthy shares, “Chip Mercer’s skills as a chef surpassed anyone whose creations we have ever sampled. Having him made us consider going out to a fine restaurant an unpleasant chore. But, that’s not why he meant so much to Paradise. His personality and temperament, his wit and kindness, his friendly attitude and willingness to share his knowledge and expertise, made him fit in perfectly at Paradise. Everyone associated with Paradise, whether visitor, staff, or long-time friend, loved him. He brought something to Paradise that can never be duplicated. I guess God heard about his talent and decided he was needed up there. Our condolences go out to his family and we mourn with them his passing. Chef Chip Mercer will be sorely missed.”

Chip is survived by his wife Shawna, his sons Josh and Caleb, and his favorite dog, Mikey.

Paradise is proud to announce that Scapa is on his way to the 2008 US Nationals! On September 18th, he arrived at All Stars Arabians in Cave Creek, AZ. There, he’ll make final preparations for Nationals with trainer Gil Valdez, who welcomed Scapa with a party attended by many admirers!

Scapa enjoyed his trip across the southern and southwestern US, and he made friends with people everywhere he went! At restaurants, gas stations, and rest areas along the way, he stuck his beautiful head out of the trailer to accept carrots from new friends. What a wonderful ambassador for the Egyptian Arabian horse!

The 2008 US Nationals are October 17th-25th. Come cheer Scapa on with us in Tulsa!

Paradise is so proud of the performance success of its geldings! The interdisciplinary capability of the straight Egyptian Arabian is proving itself through the athletes our program has produced. The geldings raised at Paradise are becoming stars in the open performance world, in disciplines English, Western, and in between!

Thee Desperado sons Thee MaCade (x *Masira) (left) and Thee Pilgram (x Bint Bint Omayma) completed a 500 mile endurance race, the Santa Fe Trail Race, in September 2007, with trainer Susan Thompson riding them on alternate days. MaCade is owned by Maiden Chase Arabians, and Pilgram is owned by Thompson. The team finished 2nd overall and was one of only 4 finishing teams, out of a starting group of 62 riders!
