Fifth-Generation Mulawa-Bred Champion

Member of the KARMAA Family


A tall, elegant & dynamic moving daughter of Australian National Champions MULAWA KARISMAA & KAVALIER MI, KARISSA MI shows great promise as a charismatic show horse, a talented athlete and an auspicious broodmare. 

From the first foal crop of Australian National Gold Champion KAVALIER MI, KARISSA has inherited all of the traits for which her sire has proven a consistent source of excellence: exceptional length of leg, commanding presence, an upright elegant forehand with considerable length and shape of neck, smooth harmonious builds and powerfully animated athleticism. Through KAVALIER, KARISSA is blessed with the incomparable show style of three-time World Champion MARWAN AL SHAQAB, as well as the enduring legacy of the 'Queen of Mulawa' KARMAA, through legendary Aristocrat Dams MULAWA KARA MIA MI and KARESS.

KARISSA is the youngest daughter of two-time Australian National Champion MULAWA KARISMAA, one of the most celebrated and beloved daughters of the iconic MAGNUM PSYCHE. An exotic, long necked beauty herself with a trademark show-stopping trot, KARISMAA is a direct daughter of KARMAA, giving KARISSA an invaluable double-cross to the most important Mulawa foundation mare. Maternally, KARISSA shares an esteemed heritage with Australian National Gold Champion KONQUEST MI, as well as with the up-and-coming KAREER MI.
