Magdalina needs no introduction. The crowd favourite wherever she went, the larger and more appreciative the audience the more this lady loved to show!

Magdalina's first outing was at the inaugural International Arabian Show held at Merrist Wood in 2001.

She loved every minute of it and showed off to win her class, the Senior Female Championship and, to top it all, the Supreme Championship, much to the crowd's delight.

She then went on to become the crowd favourite at UKIAHS, Towerlands, winning her class and coming res. Champion to Bint Shaklina.

My ambition was to compete at my favourite show, The All Nations Cup, Aachen. Magdalina realised that ambition for me and more, it was her favourite show too! She loved the highly charged atmosphere and won her class.

I will always be grateful to this wonderful grey mare for giving me some of the best days of my life.
