The prize progeny of his beloved dam MI ANGEL  (by TS Al Malik), ALLEGIANT was a marquee member of the venerated family of ‘Angels’ and uber-athletes that descend from the cornerstone dam family of Mulawa foundation mare M ANGELIQUE  (Vision x Abanda by Banderol).       His arrival in the early Spring of 2011 almost thirteen years ago ushered in an unprecedented wave of change, acclaim and achievement for Mulawa and the Arabian breed in Australia. Aptly named, ALLEGIANT was the very first foal of the young, then unknown junior sire ALLEGIANCE MI  (out of

16 August 1991 - 04 October 2022 The eldest matron in residence at Alabama was peacefully laid to rest this morning after thirty-one glorious years of life.

Since the transfer of the breeding herd to Alabama Stud in the Upper Hunter Valley late in the previous decade, the three elder statesmen of the Mulawa breeding programme have remained in residence in Sydney, blessing our lives each day with their magnificence and presence. In the last 12 months, we have bid a bittersweet farewell to both FAME MAKER R, who was laid to rest in April 2019 just shy of his 30 th birthday, and to TS AL MALIK just two months ago in January, in his 28 th year of life. The only senior sire remaining is not only the stallion whose importation launched the modern evolution of the Mulawa programme in the early 1990’s, he is the stallion who has lived longer at Mulawa than ANY other - imported, introduced,
