Ariela Arabians would like to wish our friends, clients and website visitors a wonderful holiday season and a healthy and happy 2005

December 2004
And the grand finale of this extraordinary year:
The ECAHO website just announced the winners of the very first ECAHO Cup Challenge, and our own Loubna (Imp. Imdal x Imp. Kalatifa), 2004 World Champion Mare, All Nations Cup Champion & Elran Cup Champion Mare, leads this prestigious list.
And, even more extraordinary, Emira, the beautiful Laheeb daughter from Michalow Stud, 2004 Polish National Champion Mare & European Reserve Champion Mare, is ranked right behind Loubna!
The ECAHO-Cup evaluation is awarded according to a point system with titles awarded for the categories Fillies, Colts, Mares and Stallions. The best-placed horses are able to collect points at all National Championship, recognized A, and Title-Shows. The points are calculated both according to the number of horses participating in every class and the individual ranking of each horse.

Emira

December 2004
For the first time ever, an Israeli bred horse won a world championship title in Paris.
Loubna was named 2004 World Champion Mare, presiding over some of the world's best mares, including El Dorada, Emira, WA Fawn Obession, Fallada, Palmira, Maroutssia, Olita, Nesila & Tai Emerald Bay. Loubna was shown five times in 2004 and remained undefeated during this amazing year.

It is now just one year after the loss of Imperial Imdal, one of the world's greatest stallions, but his progeny continue his legacy: including daughter Loubna named World Champion Mare, grandson Imperial Baarez named Reserve World Champion Stallion, and additional progeny Emira, Pyramid Laneya & Massubi, all earning coveted Top Fives in the most prestige show in the world.

We would like to thank Frank, Sabina and their wonderful team for making this dream come true. And a big thank you to the great group of Israeli friends who supported us during the entire weekend and shared in this victory.

Four out of five of the top ranking 2003 fillies were related to our stud, and even more in each of the junior classes.
