ALIHA BINT NIZR
(Anaza El Nizr x Warrayna Baskette by Baskeri)
Bred by Axel Renz
Proudly Owned & Loved by Parkview Arabians

It is with a very heart that we share the news of the passing of our beloved ALIHA BINT NIZR. Laid peacefully to rest on Monday morning at Alabama Stud, ALIHA was the cornerstone matron of the Parkview programme. Sagaciously purchased by the Bonney family as a weanling, ALIHA would become not only the very first Australian National Champion to be shown by a then teenaged Cameron, but the dam of two of the most popular, accomplished and influential stallions in Australia in the new millennium. 

For Jayna & Cameron, ALIHA’s greatest gift has been the incomparable AAMAHNI (by TS Al Malik), a show horse supreme who has given each of them some of their most memorable moments in the winners’ circle. A four-time Australian National Champion, and one of the rare, esteemed individuals to be a National Champion in both halter and performance, AAMAHNI set the continental standard for the Arabian stallion as both a superior breeding specimen and as an athlete extraordinaire.

For the Arabian breed worldwide, ALIHA’s extraordinary gift has been PARKVIEW AUDACIOUS (by TS Al Malik). An accomplished halter champion, AUDACIOUS is best remembered for his brief role as Mulawa chief sire prior to his untimely loss at just five years of age. The sire of just 17 foals, his legacy still thrives around the world through his precious daughters, several of which are celebrated Aristocrat Dams, including MULAWA ALEXA, ASPIRED, MULAWA ANASTAZIA, ASTORIA, AURA MI and the invaluable AUDACIA. Through the remarkable contributions of these precious daughters, the descendants of PARKVIEW AUDACIOUS can now be found on multiple continents all around the world, impacting the breed more positively and profoundly than anyone could have possibly imagined when ALIHA became an essential member of the Bonney family more than 27 years ago. 

The greatest global ambassador for the ALIHA BINT NIZR legacy is unquestionably her maternal grandson ALLEGIANCE MI, Mulawa’s unrivalled chief sire and Australia’s leading source of National and international champions for the past several years. As the ALLEGIANCE influence continues to spread with significance around the world, we discover even more reasons celebrate the destiny-altering influence of ALIHA in our lives and within the Arabian breed at large.

For creating ALIHA, and for sharing her with the Bonney Family, we thank Axel Renz. To Alissa, Dani, Judy, Cate, Elsa, Monika, Daniel, Javi, Michelle, Nico & Vince – the Team at Alabama both present and past – you have our eternal gratitude for giving her the best possible care in her most mature years. To Greg, Julie & Jane – thank you for believing in ALIHA and for giving both AUDACIOUS and AAMAHNI every chance to be their best under the Mulawa banner. ALIHA’s enduring legacy has only been made possible by your immeasurable generosity, your inspiring belief and your unfailing support.  

While our hearts may be heavier this holiday season, our lives are forever enriched by the innumerable gifts with which ALIHA continues to bless us. Farewell, sweet matron. Your light lives on in all of us, and in the abundance your descendants continue to create all around the world…
