the UK and all the stables have air conditioning and automatic water drinkers. Other equipment has been imported from the UK such a horse walker and stocks and there is also AI and embryo transfer equipment from Germany. The facility has everything required to ensure the highest standards of care for the horses. Vet Liz Hughes

from England runs the cclinic lin during the winter months returning ttoo her Wirral based practice for the spring and an summer. The stud can freeze semen and use imported semen from stallions all over the world. This year there are about 25 foals due by Trussardi, Stival and Psytadel and their own stallions Revolution and MPA Giuliani (MPA Giovanni/Rohara Whispers by Padrons Psyche). The first foals for 2012 have been born and all will be eagerly anticipated as this is probably the aspect of running the stud that Mr Al Subaie most enjoys as he loves the mares and seeing what they produce – the products of the stud’s breeding choices. Revolution’s first foal will be born in the UK in April out of the American mare Falcon Song BHF. Four other mares are in the UK at Sally’s Mirage Stud in North Wales including Psyx Aprilove H (Padrons Psyche/Bey Shahna KA) who was a winner at the Las Vegas World Cup show in 2009 prior to being purchased and imported in foal to Trussardi. Mr Al Subaie readily acknowledges the
value of the advice from experts who have accumulated experiences over years of breeding Arabians. Besides Sally and Ryan this includes his father Emrys, a respected ECAHO judge, whose Bychan Stud, situated in West Wales has enjoyed decades of breeding successfully in the UK. Al Muawd has expanded rapidly and has already enjoyed considerable successes at top level which must be considered as quite remarkable achievements for such a fledgling stud. At the moment the show string is competing in the Middle East but very soon the two Stival fillies will fly to the USA whilst the rest of the 2012 team will come to the UK from where they will attend shows in the UK and Europe. Mr Al Subaie has an aim and has set the challenge of competing successfully with the best Arabian Studs in the world, such as Ajman, Al Khalediah and Athbah with the ultimate goal being to breed Al Muawd’s own superstar! With the quality of the Arabians he has assembled this achievement may be in the near, rather than distant future! ww.tuttoarabi.com - TUTTO ARABI | 99
