ALLEGIANCE MI Daughters Victorious Worldwide

Less than eight hours apart on opposite ends of the globe, two extraordinary daughters of Mulawa supersire ALLEGIANCE MI were victorious amongst world-class competition.

First to succeed was the always effervescent VENICE MI at the Al Khalediah Arabian Horse Festival in Poland. Having scored highest amongst all junior entries on Friday afternoon, VENICE returned to the championship on Saturday to earn her most decisive triumph to date: unanimous Champion Junior Filly with Rhodri Jones.  Seven internationally respected judges honoured VENICE MI as Gold Champion, an honour shared in unanimous consent with Senior Champion Stallion EMERALD J & the Jadem-bred Champion Yearling Filly DANA J. VENICE MI is proudly owned by Al Muawd Stud, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, and capably managed by Rod Jones Training in Wales, under the guidance & stewardship of Ryan Jones.

VENICE MI is the third successive full sibling sired by ALLEGIANCE MI & out of VALENTINE MI to be named Australian National Champion. Along with VENICE, elder siblings ADVANTAGE MI - Scottsdale Reserve Champion Stallion - and VENECIA MI - twice Australasian Breeders Cup Gold Champion Junior Filly - comprise the most successful trio of full siblings in the history of Arabian breeding in Australia. VENICE continues to pave the way internationally for this essential Mulawa family, bringing her twice Gold Champion & high scoring success from Saudi Arabia to the supremely competitive arena of Europe.  

Just a few hours later, on Saturday afternoon in Brandon, Manitoba, rising star MADORA MI debuted at her first National Championship event with Bruno Guiraldelli. Competing amongst an impressive group of jackpot fillies, MADORA finished the afternoon triumphant as Canadian National Champion Two Year Old Filly. Already a Scottsdale & Regional winner, MADORA's Canadian National Championship is her most significant international win, granting Mulawa their fourth Canadian National Champion title in five years, joining dual Junior & Senior Champion IMPRESSA MI & Senior Champion Champion VALENTINO'S ANGEL MI. MADORA is proudly owned & campaigned by Murray & Shirley Popplewell of Rae-Dawn Arabians, based in both Saskatoon & Scottsdale.

MADORA MI is a distinguished member of the cornerstone Mulawa dam family of MULAWA CHANCE, the most beloved & esteemed daughter of Mulawa foundation sire AMBITION (Bask x Bint Ambara by Comet). Renowned for producing many of the most successful halter & saddle horses in Australia over the last four decades, the MULAWA CHANCE Family is responsible for the likes of FAMES HARMONY, MULAWA THE QUEST, KLASSIC HARMONY MI & the illustrious CHANCE TO DANCE. 

Earlier this year Mulawa celebrated the success of AUDACIA daughters winning on the same weekend on opposite coasts of Australia: MI APHRODITE in Queensland & AMBER MI in Western Australia. Now just over two months later, AUDACIA has earned even greater acclaim with two of her glorious granddaughters succeeding at elite-level international competition: VENICE MI in Europe & MADORA MI in North America.

With just 45 registered foals to his credit, ALLEGIANCE MI is proving himself to be one of the most important & influential sires in the breed worldwide. Nearly half of the ALLEGIANCE get have earned show ring championships, both in-hand & under saddle, while furthermore dominating the Australian National Championships over the past several years, having accrued more than twenty National titles, including the last three successive Gold National Champion Yearling Filly honours, and industry first, with VENECIA MI (2016), VENICE MI (2017) & A VISION MI (2018). With A VISION MI now in Europe and prepared to debut in the near future, the era of ALLEGIANCE influence & achievement is most assuredly on the ascent.

Congratulations to Murray & Shirley Popplewell, Ryan & Rhodri Jones, Teams Rae-Dawn & Al Muawd, and to all those who have made the success of both VENICE MI & MADORA MI possible on the international stage. We look forward to the unfolding success stories of both of these extraordinary females for many years to come...
