Due to the significant rainfall the farm has received in the past 24 hours and the significant rainfall forecast for the next several days, the decision has been reluctantly made to postpone the Mulawa Open Barn scheduled for Sunday 09 February. Given the all too recent threat of the bushfires surrounding the Sydney area and all of coastal NSW, this abundant rain is a welcome reprieve to the many months of drought, heat and fire risk. Given the busy schedule prior to the Australian National Championship in early March, we anticipate rescheduling this Open Barn, and the educational seminar covering the topic of “ The Why, When, What & How of Masterful Show Clipping” for sometime later in March or early April.

With the generous support of naming rights sponsor Homes & Acreage, Boneo Park hosted the outstanding event that was the 2020 Boneo Classic from the 23 rd to the 26 th of January. Once again our team was thrilled to be able to compete at this gorgeous venue; enjoying its world-class facilities, immaculate competition surfaces and beautiful surroundings. At this year’s event Team Performance fielded three combinations: in the CDI 3*** Big Tour were  Luxor 118 (DE) with Kate Farrell and  Larenso (DK) with Riley Alexander, and in the 4YO Young Horse Class  Aber Fontaine MI with our Performance Coach John Thompson. This was also the first time Kate, John and Riley have competed side-by-side in the Big Tour field

It is with tremendous sorrow that we share with the global Arabian Community the passing of  TS AL MALIK (Hello Barich ELS x BF Tiffany Select by BF Rageymazon). A beloved international icon who illuminated show rings with his masculine power and charisma on three continents as Australian & Brazilian National Champion, as well as a Scottsdale Reserve Champion, MALIK is best remembered as an invaluable Mulawa chief sire since his arrival to Australia in 1998. Bred in Brazil by Toni Salloum, MALIK was blessed with a unique combination of Spanish, Gainey, Raffles, Polish and Egyptian bloodlines, the infusion of which into the Mulawa programme has reaped infinite reward since the arrival of his first foal,
