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!
Thee Desperado son a successful jumper!
SA Theemoondancer, an 11-year-old grey Egyptian Arabian stallion, was awarded the 2007 Zone 8 Reserve Champion Amateur Owner Jumper Award by the US Hunter Jumper Association! His division was for jumps 4 feet to 4 feet 6 inches tall–quite a height! Moondancer (Thee Desperado x AK Shalina) was bred by Sharon Kettwich, is proudly owned by Stella Conklin, and was trained and ridden to his award by Dianna Conklin.
