Hello everyone, we have been extremely busy in securing venues, and putting together our event calendar for 2025.
40th ANNIVERSARY OF RALVON PILGRIMS INTERNATIONAL WIN AT ASCOT IN 1977.
This year marks the 40th anniversary of this wonderful Stallion’s win at Ascot in 1977. We welcome Ron and Val Males to the National Arabian stud horse show to present the President’s award this Saturday 18th of November.
RALVON PILGRIM
18.10.1969 – 22.11.1992.
Rikham (imp UK) X Trix Silver.
“His name is Pilgrim because he is going to go a long way” Val said to Ron as that chestnut colt’s head emerged at foaling, on Ron’s Birthday in 1969.
Some 8 years later, on 30th July,1977, Val wrote home from England: - “Yes it’s true – though we hardly believe it. Ralvon Pilgrim has been judged the overall winner – Supreme Champion of the International classes for Purebred Arabs at the Annual Summer Show of the Arab Horse at Ascot Paddocks, Berkshire, England.
‘PILGRIM STANDS SUPREME’ APPEARED AS A BOLD TYPE HEADING IN THE London Daily Telegraph on 1st August, 1977 … the day after Judging. This should have convinced us but even then, Ron and I were certain that we would wake up and find that the show was yet to be held.
Yes indeed …. ‘that chestnut colt did go a long way.’
