As we all live our busy lives – much of ones focus is spent finding new readers – BUT – I decided I MUST NOT FORGET the loyal readers I already have. From June onwards I will profile a READER OF THE MONTH on my Blog. The third Friday will be Reader of the Month day.

My first reader of the month is KATHI MCDONALD

Kathi, Amelia and friend

Kathi and husband Glenn McDonald established their stud Catrin Arabians in 1996 and really set off on their journey to breed beautiful Arabian horses built to ride! A gift of purebred Arabian mare began a long time dream of Kathi’s to breed and show purebred Arabian horses.
Situated on an historic 80 acre property, Catrin Arabians is a small stud producing quality Arabians in a beautiful rural setting. The stud was established with the aim to breed beautiful and functional Arabians that are built to be ridden, incorporating attributes of Arabian type, substance and tractable temperaments. Having started with a strong Crabbet foundation the stud has gradually evolved to be based around the family of the classically beautiful mare, Naadirah (imp UK) (Aswan x Napraslina) blended with Egyptian and El Shaklan bloodlines. Catrin horses are successful in the halter and performance show rings, and are also fantastic friends and companions with that “in your tent” temperament!

Catrin Arabians is located 10km east of the town of Katanning in Western Australia’s Great Southern region, approximately a 3 hour drive from the capital city of Perth, and an hour and a half from the regional centre of Albany on the scenic South Coast.

With some of the Great Southern’s wonderful wineries and the majestic scenery of the Stirling Ranges only an hours drive away, why not make a weekend of it and indulge in wine, food, stunning scenery and beautiful Arabian horses.
