Eighth-Generation Mulawa-Bred Champion

Member of the VALENTINE MI Family

Sired by MI KLASSIQUE, VANCE is a fourth-generation descendant of Mulawa’s most successful sire line, that of Australian & Brazilian National Champion TS AL MALIK. VANCE is moreover a paternal grandson of Living Legend KLASS, Arabian Ambassador extraordinaire, iconic show horse and still an all-time leading sire of champions both nationally and internationally whose progeny are prized in leading programmes the world over. His son MI KLASSIQUE has since assumed chief sire duties at Mulawa where he has sired several outstanding progeny, including the undefeated show sensation BALLET MI (out of Bree MI by Allegiance MI). Through KLASSIQUE, VANCE is blessed with two of the most important matrons in breed history – the incomparable ‘Queen of Mulawa’ KARMAA and the leading Elite Aristocrat MUSTANG’S MAGNUM, dam of an extraordinary eleven champion produce.

Maternally, VANCE is blessed with further genetic royalty as a member of the VALENTINE MI family. A precious daughter of the late great DA VALENTINO, VALENTINE’s heritage is further enhanced by her glorious great-granddam TJS GEORGIE GIRL, who is still regarded as one of the most iconic US National Champion Mares of all time. With the other Mulawa-bred Living Legend ALLEGIANCE MI, VALENTINE MI has produced an unprecedented six Australian National Champions, including international sensations VENICE MI, VENECIA MI & ADVANTAGE MI. VANCE’s dam, VIENNA MI, is herself an Australian National Champion Junior Filly and the leading progenitress of her invaluable dam family at Mulawa, prized for her exotic beauty, superb conformation and captivating charisma.

Like all the KLASSIQUE foals, VANCE is exceptionally tall with an abundance of substance and scope. Kind and intelligent, VANCE has the reliable show attitude of his mother combined with the commanding presence of his sire.
