The Mulawa Community

Team Halter and the Mulawa Community recently enjoyed a hugely successful weekend at the NSW State Titles. Mulawa-bred horses swept both the Champion & Reserve Champion titles in three of the four purebred breeding classes. The Junior Fillies were won by a sixth-generation Mulawa-bred female named FANTASIA MI. From the very first foal crop of Australian National Champion, as well as US & Canadian Reserve National Champion KAVALLE MI, FANTASIA is the first of her sire's foals to be shown. FANTASIA is also the first foal born to her glorious dam MI KLASSIC FANTASY, a former East Coast Champion & Australian National Reserve Champion, who is in turn a daughter of Living Legends KLASS & MUSTANG'S

A successive winner in his age division at Scottsdale in both 2014 & 2015, KAVALLE has also been twice unanimous Region 10 Champion Stallion in back to back seasons. In addition to his recent Reserve National Championship in Canada, KAVALLE also earned the US National Reserve Championship for Three Year Old Stallions last year.

A three-time back-to-back Australian National Champion in halter and performance, a four-time East Coast Champion in every age division, and the 2015 WAHO Horse of the Year Recipient for Australia, KLASS is redefining the standard of Arabian excellence around the globe with his achievements in the show ring and in the breeding barn. He continues to thrive at Alabama as Mulawa's leading chief sire, inspiring tremendous promise with each successive foal crop. It continues to be our privilege at Mulawa to care for and steward this extraordinary stallion.

Congratulations are once again in order to HRH Prince Khaled Bin Sultan Bin AbdulAziz Al Saud and Al Khalediah Stables. On Saturday, 13 June in Menton, France, at the prestigious Mediterranean and Arab Countries Championships, KLASSICAL DREAM MI won the highly competitive class for Mares 4-7 Years of Age for the second year in a row. DREAM returned to the ring on Sunday with Philippe Hosay at the lead to claim her most prestigious victory to date: Gold Champion Senior Mare. Competing against both the Junior Champion Mare and Yearling Champion Filly, KLASSICAL DREAM was named Best in Show amongst all the female entries. We are incredibly proud of all that DREAM has accomplished and continues to achieve on the world stage.

Returning to the ring after a long hiatus following her win as Scottsdale International Gold Champion Senior Mare in early 2014, IMPRESSA conquered the best of the Midwest in St. Paul over the weekend to be named Region 10 Champion Senior Mare. Earlier in 2015, IMPRESSA delivered a beautiful filly by KAVALLE MI via embryo transfer. Thank you Joanne & Ram for believing in the Mulawa horses and for giving them both such wonderful homes. A special thank you also to Andrew & Angela Sellman, and the entire team at Argent Farms, for your support and care of IMPRESSA.

We are tremendously pleased to announce that for both 2014 & 2015, Mulawa Arabian Stud was honoured as Purebred Breeder of the Year at the Australian National Championships.

The late Mulawa chief sire MAGNUM FORTY FOUR was also honoured as Purebred Sire of the Year for a record fifth time. We are incredibly thankful to the the many breeders both in Australia and around the world whose decades of dedication to the Arabian horse have contributed to our success. We look forward with great expectation to a bright future for the Arabian horse here at home and all across the globe.

As the classic Arabian ambassador and consummate versatile equine, KLASS continues to raise the bar of excellence in his native Australia, while elevating the aspirations of Arabian breeding worldwide.

Each of these Australian National Champions represents a unique Mulawa dam family, while several of these mares have already gone on to produce champion progeny of their own.

ALWAYS AN ANGEL made Arabian breed history at the 2015 Australian Championships with her son VANGELIS MI & daughter ALWAYS VALENTINE MI.

A special thank you to the entire team at Al Khalediah Stables, especially Sheikh Mutlaq bin Mashref, Philippe Hosay & Mario Gallager, for your extraordinary success with DREAM.

In unprecedented fashion, ALWAYS VALENTINE MI has finished her Senior Mare season in Australia undefeated and a unanimous Australian National Champion! From September 2014 to March 2015, ALWAYS VALENTINE was shown just four times at the continent's leading events, each time emerging victorious. This past season marked the debut of ALWAYS VALENTINE MI on home soil, as she had previously been campaigned as a Two Year Old in North America with Andrew Sellman and Argent Farms. With her record-setting show career behind her, ALWAYS VALENTINE will now resume her broodmare duties in the Mulawa breeding program.

RACQUEL is uniquely blessed with a second influence of living legend MARWAN AL SHAQAB through her extraordinary dam RIMARAA. A special thank you to Gene Reichardt, Marek Trela & David Boggs for making the dream of RACQUEL MI a reality.

The Australian National Championships once again proved extremely successful for the get of KLASS .

Reigning Australian National Champions KLASSICAL PRESENCE MI - 2014 National Champion Junior Filly - and KLASSICAL DEVOTION MI - 2014 National Champion Yearling Filly - both returned to compete for Mulawa in the Junior Filly division. Each became the highest scoring filly in their respective age divisions, with KLASSICAL PRESENCE earning the highest score amongst all the female entrants at the show.

The 2015 Australian National Championships proved once again a very successful event for the descendants of MAGNUM FORTY FOUR. In both the halter and performance rings, three generations of MAGNUM FORTY FOUR get earned over 45 National Championship titles at Australia's most prestigious event. MAGNUM FORTY FOUR already holds the record as the most accomplished sire of Australian National Champion winners, having earned the Leading Sire award at the Australian National Championships an unprecedented four times.

The 2015 Australian National Championships in Werribee, Victoria proved to be a momentous occasion for MAXIMILLIANO . In a unanimous decision by all three judges, "MAX" was named National Champion Senior Stallion with Jason Hodgins, and in doing so, became the first stallion in Aussie history to be named National Champion in all three age divisions. It is only fitting that MAXIMILLIANO is proudly owned by Kay & Phil Edward of Shane Edward Arabians, since Kay & Phil are responsible for breeding his dam - the incomparable MUSTANG'S MAGNUM .

FAMES PHANTOM MI won the East Coast Cup for a second time, giving Mulawa five successive wins in this prestigious competition. Both VANGELIS MI & ALWAYS VALENTINE MI scored big wins in undefeated seasons thus far. Congratulations to all the winners!
