Best of luck to the entire Al Khalediah Team throughout the upcoming show seasons in Europe & the Middle East!

Our most enthusiastic congratulations to HRH Prince Abdullah bin Fahad Al Saud on the recent crowning of VALENTINO'S ANGEL MI as Canadian National Champion Mare! In a unanimous decision of five judges, VALENTINO'S ANGEL MI became the very first Australian-bred mare to earn the senior mare title of Canadian National Champion and one of the youngest ever at just one month shy of turning three years old. Thank you especially to Dr. Bruce McCrea for believing in ANGEL from the very beginning and for sharing her with the rest of the Arabian community worldwide at the elite level of competition. We wish HRH Prince Abdullah and Al Mohamadia continued success with ANGEL and years of enjoyment with this incredible mare.

Congratulations to Al Khalediah Stables & HRH Prince Khaled bbin Sultan bin Abdul Aziz Al Saud! At the prestigious West Coast Cup in Belgium over the weekend, KLASSICAL DREAM MI was named Gold Champion Mare with Philippe Hosay. This was the second show for KLASSICAL DREAM MI, following her debut at Menton in June. Fresh from her arrival from North America by just four days, DREAM debuted in spectacular style by winning her class, defeating two former World Champions in the process. We are thrilled for DREAM's continued international success. Best of luck to HRH Prince Khaled and Al Khalediah as they enjoy further success with DREAM throughout the 2014 show season.

Congratulations are in order on multiple levels to Tegan Schmidt! For several months now, Tegan & her husband Aaron have been the proud owners of AJUSTINE MI, a beautiful daughter of Mulawa Aristocrat Mare AUDACIA and sired by international "Champion Maker" WH JUSTICE. Over the weekend, AJUSTINE captured the two most prestigious titles at the SAARABS Stars of the Future Show as Supreme Champion Purebred and Supreme Champion Youngstock Exhibit! Mulawa handler and head halter trainer Cameron Bonney was at the lead for both wins.

A new section of the Mulawa website, TESTIMONIALS , has been added to feature perspective from the international community. Mulawa has been privileged to host several of the leading judges, trainers, agents and equine professionals from around the world over the past few years. This section of the website allows them to share their memories and impressions. A special thank you to all of the contributors. We continue to appreciate all you do for the Arabian horse worldwide!    

Congratulations to Al Mohamadia Stud and HRH Prince Abdullah bin Fahad Al Saud! Scottsdale, World Cup & Menton Champion PRUSSIA MI added yet another accolade to his long list of titles as Gold Champion Junior Colt at the Bruges Arabian Horse Event! PRUSSIA is a fourth-generation Mulawa-bred champion who has carried the banner high for Mulawa and Australia in both North America & Europe over the past two show seasons. We wish HRH Prince Abdullah, Al Mohamadia manager Dr. Bruce McCrea & handler Philip Loyens continued success with PRUSSIA as he is campaigned to further acclaim in Europe and the Middle East!

Only rarely in the best breeding programs do the two coincide: accomplished show mare and meritorious matron. For Mulawa Arabian Stud, that convergence of greatness in both phenotype and genotype is the defining legacy of the remarkable Mustang’s Magnum. Incredibly, at just nine years of age, Mustang’s Magnum has rewritten the record books for the Arabian breed in Australia as both show horse and broodmatron, with seven foals of world-class quality and counting...

Congratulations to the Mulawa Community horses who earned top honours at the Queensland Challenge this past weekend! We are especially proud of the success of PLATINUM MI, who scored his first big win for new owners Jack, Mona & Armani McKay. Congratulations also to Shannon Parry & Tahlia Christou on their first success with MULAWA INSPIRED on their very first outing together. Thank you to all the owners, exhibitors and trainers for campaigning the Mulawa horses with class and style.
