UPDATE: Alixir son wins under saddle at Nationals AND Scottsdale!
Congratulations to the striking young Egyptian Arabian stallion, The Bandera (Alixir x Arabella MCA by Thee Infidel), for his recent Reserve Championship win in the Junior Hunter class at the Scottsdale Arabian Horse Show, the world’s largest Arabian horse show! He adds this to an impressive Top Ten finish in the Arabian Hunter Pleasure Futurity at the 2007 US Nationals in October!
The Bandera was bred and is co-owned by Tom and Gail Chasteen and Bill and Gina Barron of Rocky Face, Georgia. He was beautifully ridden by Cheryl Fletcher. The Bandera’s sire, Alixir (The Elixir x The Prevue) consistently passes on his athleticism and trainable attitude to his sons and daughters, while his dam, Arabella MCA, is by the US National Top Ten Futurity Colt and Open Stallion, Thee Infidel.
