Breeder: Khrenovoe Stud. Owner: Akylbai Stud.

The President of Kazakhstan Association of Purebred Arabians, Mr. Atamkulov, has informed WAHO that the Association has determined the best Arabian horse in Kazakhstan to receive the 2005 WAHO Trophy. The award has been given in the athletic discipline of racing. Although normally the WAHO Trophy should only be awarded to horses born in the country giving the prize, an exception has been made in this case, since Kazakhstan is a relatively new Member of WAHO. Mara was born in Russia at the Khrenovoe stud in 2001. At the age of two years she was bought by the stud-farm “Akylbai” and was brought into Kazakhstan.
