CONGRATULATIONS RA BINT NUMANA AND TAYLOR SULLIVAN
Ra Bint Numana was the recipient of the ARABIAN BRED SPORT HORSE UNDERSADDLE special award at the April 13-15th 2007 Arkansas Victory Challenge Rated Show. This award was graciously sponsored by Centennial Asil Arabians for Asil Arabians (Straight Egyptian and or/Al Khamsa) who were shown in the in-hand and undersaddle Sport Horse divisions of this show. Although Numana has been under saddle only five weeks we are thrilled with her performance and with her talented rider, Taylor Sullivan.
A huge THANK YOU goes out to Natalie Smith of Caney Creek Farm for giving this mare a wonderful foundation for what we hope to be a successful show career. We especially want to thank Natalie for choosing the incredible TAYLOR SULLIVAN to be the youth we sponsor to accomplish our goals. Taylor is a very talented and skilled rider who proved herself showing AVAR KHALIF (now owned by Allison Pressler) to many championships in the Arkansas Arabian High Point Shows as well as at open Hunter and Cross Country Shows held in Arkansas.
We know the team of Taylor Sullivan and Ra Bint Numana will be a winning combination. Look for them in the arenas of Region IX and XII in the near future.
CONGRATULATIONS Taylor Sullivan and Ra Bint Numana on your recent Hunter Pleasure Championship JTR at the May AAHC High Point Show. What a great job you are doing. We are so proud of you and Numana. Keep up the good work.
LIZ SALMON EVALUATION
We were so honored to have Elizabeth Salmon, Equine Consultant, International Judge and Journalist do an evaluation on our newest addition, Ra Bint Numana. We are quite pleased with the evaluation that Numana received from Liz . Quoting from the evaluation letter we received dated 11/20/2006:
"OVERALL IMPRESSION: A very big extremely athletic quality mare with a great temperament. She is a wonderful Sport Horse prospect both in Hand and under Saddle."
What a pleasure and delight it was to meet Liz. Thank you so much for your nice comments about our mare.
CONGRATULATIONS!
AVAR Khalif and Allison Pressler
AVAR Khalif and Allison Pressler recently won their division at Jubilee Horse Trials which consisted of fences, cross country, stadium and dressage. Allison is a student at Caney Creek Farms under the capable direction of Natalie Smith. The Presslers are the new owners of AVAR Khalif and what a great job Allison is doing furthering his Sport Horse career. Continue the great work, Allison! Best wishes to you and AVAR Khalif.
