Mulawa Moments
Moments - great and small - that define us and create the wonder, the joy and and passion in our shared experience with the Arabian horse.
The essential source of all great success in any breeding program are the matrons selected as the foundation. Mulawa has been fortunate to have been blessed with several such meritorious matrons, including KARMAA , DZINA & M ANGELIQUE . All three were honoured at the 2017 Australian Arabian National Championships with Legacy Awards in each of the purebred female halter divisions. For the third time in four years, Mulawa was the proud breeder & exhibitor of all three National Championship fillies & mares. For the second successive year, Cameron Bonney was at the lead of each of the Gold National Champion purebred females, an achievement unrivalled in continental history. A fitting tribute to the

MULAWA CHANCE | In Memoriam17 November 1982 - 16 December 2015 This morning we bid farewell to our beloved MULAWA CHANCE. Born in November of 1982, CHANCE was foaled at the old Mulawa property where her sire, AMBITION, set in motion the direction and purpose of the Mulawa program. Tragically, AMBITION was lost prematurely, his legacy and influence left to his treasured daughters, with MULAWA CHANCE amongst his best and most prolific. Not only was CHANCE the most celebrated of her sire's daughters, she was also the best produce of her esteemed dam, GROJECCA. Imported in-utero from the UK in the infancy of the Mulawa program, GROJECCA was a life-long favourite of Greg Farrell Sr. GROJECCA was in turn the dam of MULAWA THE QUEST, a consummate

At Mulawa, her dam family continues to rank as one of the most influential, consistently producing Arabians of world-class quality that excel in the all areas of equine endeavour.
