AUSTRIA

PADRONS KHEN SAABI Chestnut stallion, 1995. (Padrons Kadar/Alba). Breeder and Owner: Mrs. Manuela Barta. Strain: Managhi Hedruj of Ibn Sbeyel (Ferida, 1886)

Three wonderful horses were nominated for the WAHO Trophy – but only one would be able to win it! On the occasion of the Annual General Meeting of the Austrian Arab Horse Society on 23rd May 2008, the members elected the chestnut stallion Padrons Khen Saabi with a broad majority.

Manuela Barta, breeder for 22 years, recognized the talent for dressage in her exceptional stallion quite early and did not spare efforts nor costs to put him into training with notable riders, with the result, that they finally reached “dressage heaven”: On the highest level of Classical Equitation, the Prix St. George! But as if that was not enough, he also won against warmblood horses at dressage competitions of this level. This was – at least in Austria – a never before heard of phenomena.

At the presentation ceremony of the WAHO Trophy on the occasion of the National Show in Wels, Padrons Khen Saabi was presented to a big crowd in classical dressage in the most aesthetic manner by his rider Stefan Hirnboeck. Not only for the experts was this a very special moment with a touch of uniqueness – at least that’s how many spectators felt – the stallion was also a true ambassador for Austrian Arabian horse breeding at its best.

The VVOE congratulates Mrs. Manuela Barta for her success and wishes her many more years full of success with Padrons Khen Saabi.

KRIZIABay Mare, 1989. (Pedant / Krisella). Breeder: Eveline Scohier-Geets. Owner: Fages des Iviers – Scohier P.E. Strain: Kehaileh Moradi (Sahara, ca. 1840).
Because of her great endurance history and great descendants, the Board of Directors of the Belgian Arabian Horse Registry decided to dedicate their 2008 WAHO Trophy to Krizia.
This bay mare, born in 1989, is bred and owned by Fages des Iviers, the Scohier Family. Starting her endurance career in 1996, she went on to become one of Belgium’s best mares in this demanding sport, with a great international record: 1996: the year of the qualification 1997: March: Badajoz (Spain): 160 km; July: Ardennaise (Belgium): winner of the 160 km; September: Pratoni del Vivaro: European Championship, 160 km, first selection for the Belgian National Team 1998: March: Rio Frio (Portugal): 130 km; April: Alcochète (Portugal): 160 km; December: Dubai: World Championship: 160 km and a second selection for the Belgian National Team 1999: April: Elvas (Portugal): 160 km; May: Spa: Belgian National Championship: 130 km and best condition; October: Elvas Badajoz: European Championship: 160 km, 3rd selection for Belgian National Team at a speed record of 17.5 km/h 2000: July: Goettingen (Germany): 160 km

In 2001, she ended her career after the World Championship for Young riders in Spain. She completed 8 races of 160 km and she was never eliminated.
Krizia then went on to become a broodmare, and is the mother of numerous stars in endurance, including the excellent mare Khiva by Waracz, born in 1993. Khiva won the bronze medal at the Belgian National Championship in 2002, over a distance of 160 km. and was twice in the Top 10 at major rides such as Moulins Engilbert, Florac – Lalbenque – Sommant.
After finishing her sports career, Khiva also became a broodmare and is the dam of potential future endurance horses such as: Krianza: born in 2004, sire Waracz Krézus: born in 2005, sire Djain (Djelfor x Varoussa, world champion in 2002, daughter of Persik) Krypton: born in 2007, sire Pamir El Milora (Milora Park Blue Fire x Movoska: both winners at the 160 km) Krizos: born in 2008, sire Pamir El Milora

MALAK Grey stallion, 1985. [Maddah / Husnia]. Breeder: Brigitte Kuebe. Owner: Farm J.V. Hykl. Strain: Kehailan Rodan (Rodania, 1869).

ACHPAK is pleased to report the award of their 2008 WAHO Trophy to the important stallion, Malak, whon has proved to be the best breeding sire in the country in the past. Of ‘straight Egyptian’ bloodlines, he has influenced Czech breeding a great deal, and his offspring have received many titles during our shows. He also has a fantastic character and was an exceptionally good riding horse. His owner called him, simply, “our Aristocrat”. The Czech breeders recognized this and rewarded him with the award of this Trophy.
