An Emotional and
Beautiful Journey of a
World Champion
A
rgent Farms and Michael Byatt Arabians were hosts to a
fantastic crowd at their beautiful Scottsdale facility during The
2010 ArabHorse Farm Tour. The tour included a benefit auction
for St. Judes Children’s Research Hospital that garnered a $44,000
donation for an embryo right to the spectacular Arabian mare, RD
Fabreanna (Falcon BHF x GF Simply Magic by Magic Dream).
Claire and Margaret
Larson, then owners
of RD Fabreanna,
generously donated
the embryo right to
the St. Judes benefit
auction. Dan and
Maureen Grossman,
owners of Multi
National Champion DA
Valentino, purchased
this special embryo
right and all proceeds
were donated to St Judes Children’s Research. Murray and Shirley
Popplewell are the breeder of RD Fabreanna who before selling her
to the Larsons celebrated their first National win with a Rae Dawn
bred horse.
A few short months after the emotional and special purchase,
the Arabian community was devastated with the news that DA
Valentino had passed. It was an overwhelming heartbreak for many,
but clearly most devastating for Dan and Maureen Grossman.
When the news was delivered that RD Fabreanna had been
confirmed pregnant and was expecting the last foal conceived with
DA Valentino’s fresh semen, everyone felt certain the resulting foal
would be something special.
Something special INDEED… the resulting foal was Donna Molta
Bella SRA. “Donna” now owned by Al Saqran Stud of Kuwait
and the United Arab Emirates is undefeated in the International
Arabian show circuit. She has won the coveted title of Las Vegas
World Cup Supreme
Champion, United States
National Champion and
now Salon du Cheval de
Paris World Champion with
David Boggs.
