Malleegrove Mandalla S23009 (Manny) was bred in South Australia by Peta Dickson of Malleegrove Arabians, and purchased by Jessie and John Preece and Caroline Payne of Arreton Arabians as a 12 year old stallion.   Malleegrove Mandalla is by the Arabian stallion Taywoona Qariim S16241 and out of Arabian mare Maricol Narelle F12852.

Jessie says that attempting to summarise the achievements of a horse is not a simple thing. Especially in the case of a horse like Malleegrove Mandalla. While he is an accomplished show horse and has proven himself time and time again over a broad range of performance arenas, it isn’t the achievements in the ring that make him so special.  His performance career began when purchased by Jessie, John and Caroline and he has been giving people opportunities along the way, with a number of people having achieving their ‘firsts’ on and with Manny. Enjoying not only their first harness experience with Manny but also their first harness competition experience.

No matter what we challenge Manny with he always takes it in his stride and has never said no. He is the epitome of the versatile Arabian and he enjoys every moment of it. He is passing on his fantastic temperament and nature to his progeny and we are very excited to see them follow in his hoofprints.

WeJessie, john and Caroline would also like to thank everyone who has helped Manny along the way, through him we have made lifelong friends and memories.
