Al Maheeb shown expertly by Sean Chapman went Champion Senior Stallion at the 'A' Class Arabian Valley Gala Show in Ipswich om the long weekend. It was pleasing to get numerous positive comments on 'Alfie's' appearance especially considering he is 20 years old this year. (Pictures to come)

August 10
Just Magnetic (pend) 'Henry' has joined the Future Farms show team for the up coming southern show season. I look forward to watching this colts progress.


January 10
Below are photos of the Anglo colt born in Oct 09, 'Henry' is growing exceptionally well. He is developing into a very nice young horse and is beyond our expectations from this breeding.






December 09

Lorna Young has informed me that my SE mare Jayay Faydal presently on lease to Lorna has foaled a pretty chestnut filly on Boxing day. This filly is the result of breeding Faydal to her Black SE stallion ARABIAN PARK IBN SAWEEHA (Ansata El Hakim imp USA X Saweeha imp Ger). I look forward to seeing how this girl grows.



Unfortunately Palee was only pretending to be in foal even though she followed all the normal rules and showed signs at the right time. This is disappointing but we will try again next season.

Kassila presented me with a chestnut colt with minimal white (just 4 small socks) late on the night of the 8th December, he is a very energetic and playful boy. This foal will be called MaratMA (pending). This foal will be for sale at weaning.







November 09

MW Amaging Grace has presented me with a beautiful and very big chestnut (going grey) filly on the 3rd (Melbourne Cup  Day). I have named this filly ShauraMA (pending)





October 09
Just Proud (TB) was sold earlier this year and has just delivered her new owners a healthy, very big and active bay colt on the 13th. Unfortunately Kyarnda Lodge Patriice slipped her foal through winter, but has returned to Al Maheeb this season.






August 09
Collected MW Amazing Grace and Kassila today from Caramea Stud, a big thank you to Kim Cox for accomodating these mares whilst repairs were done to my flood damaged fences, also for allowing me to breed them to Malmsbury Saki. Both are obviously in foal and due Oct-Nov and I welcome expressions of interest in these foals.

July 09
Well after 9 years out of the show ring I decided for a bit of fun to take Al Maheeb to the A Class Arabian Triumph Show on the 11th, and he achieved Reserve Champion stallion and was the winner of the liberty class, not bad for the old fella approaching 18yrs old. Thanks to Sharie Baldwin for showing 'Alfie' ,it has been 11 yrs since the two of them were seen in a show ring together.

The thoroughbred mare Just Proud as been sold to in foal to Al Maheeb for a 09 anglo foal, best wishes to her new owners.

Kyarnda Lodge Patrice has also visited Al Maheeb this month, and I looked forward with Barb and Trevor to the resulting foal of this mating (here's hoping for a filly).

My mares MW Amazing Grace and Kassila have been sent to to be served with Malmsbury Saki (Amir El Shaklan X Sarika), thank you Kim Cox for this opportunity

Jayay Faydal and Dara park Aliha Kamar are presently on lease in NSW.
Best wishes to Lorna Young with these mares


April 08
I visited Reid River this month to view the foals of The Akomplize and I am very impressed with how they are growing and look forward to hearing of the success Keith and Melissa will no doubtably have with his progeny.

Al Maheeb will also stand this season at stud to a limited number of mares, this will be 'Alfie's' first public season in queensland for 7 years.

Congratulations to the owners of progeny of The Akomplize (dec) on their success at the recent Challenge show in Toowoomba

March 08
I have decided that due to the loss of The Akomplize that the mares brought specifically to breed to this exceptional individual will now be put on the market and the search for a special mare to compliment Al Maheeb and breeding in a new direction be sought. All the SE mares are now for sale, as is one of the Al Maheeb daughters.


December 07 
Kassila foaled an exceptional bay filly by The Akomplize, making this filly a double PVA Sonbali (impUSA) being by a Sonbali son out of a Sonbali granddaughter, and double Kapehr (impUSA).

November 07
The future breeding plans of Marywood arabians were shattered on 22nd November 2007 when I received news that my precious boy The Akomplize had passed away. At only 9yrs of age this exceptional individual was just starting to make his mark as a breeding stallion. The absence of this stallion will be felt here at Marywwod for many years to come. RIP my good friend.

September 07
Our first foal in six years, and its a filly. Combining the lines of our two stallions, Al Maheeb and The Akomplize.  



Evie MA (pending)
The Akomplize X Marywood Amazing Grace (Al Maheeb)

We are expecting at the end of November 07 another purebred foal from Kasiila, this foal will be a double cross to PVA SOnbali (imp USA) as the sire is The Akomplize.

It is hoped that we will return to the show scene in 2008.
