Zzeus SA and Tammy Bowles won a Canadian National Championship today in third level dressage. They were 2 points ahead of the nearest competitor, despite Zzeus having a cough since he crossed the border. Tammy says, “he wanted to win.” 
Mikey has lovely new owners and is especially fond of Megan, who shows him in the working hunter classes. He is with the same trainer, Michelle Mahoney, and we still see him. He will remain on our banner indefinitely. He goes to Megan with a USEF Horse-of-the Year championship for working hunters in Region 3, and no doubt Megan will continue to add to his wins. Mikey’s daughter Zzoe remains with us as our rising star in dressage and sporthorse under saddle.
Following the 2007 Region 2 Championship show in which Mikey was named Reserve Champion Sport Horse In Hand Stallion, the Arabian Horse Association sent this important announcement. SA Marzec Sen (Mikey) has been awarded the Legion of Supreme Honor and Legion of Supreme Merit. He now carries the symbol “+++/” after his name.
Very few horses reach this level. SA Marzec Sen +++/ and Zzeus SA +++// are two that have, and they were both sired by our senior stallion BA Ibn Dream +/.

US Equestrian has honored two Santer Arabian stalliions with five Horse of the Year Awards.

Zzeus SA ++/ (left) was named the Champion Region 2 Arabian Sport Horse and the Champion Arabian Dressage Amateur Horse in both Regions 2 and 7. The two are shown together in this Region 2 photo. 
As of fall, 2005, US Equestrian Federation has listed us as the number one
breeder of Arabian performance horses in the nation!
SA Marzec Sen++/ (Mikey) and Travis Mahoney jumped into fame at the
Arabian Youth Nationals by winning the Reserve Championship in the
Working Hunter, JTR 17 and under championship finals class, on
Saturday, July 30, 2005. It was a family affair, with mom,
Michelle, providing the training and strategy to bring Mikey to a
national level in just four months, and younger brother Cody
scoring superbly on the flat work in the class. And let’s not
forget Dad (Dave) who safely transported the horses to and from
Albuquerque. Every young rider with the Mahoney family won
a Top Ten or more. Way to go! 
The Arabian Horse Association has just announced that SA Marzec Sen
(a.k.a. Mikey) has now received the prestigious Legion of Supreme Honor
and Legion of Merit Awards. He now proudly carries “++/” after
his name. He added to his collection of performance points with
wins in Working Hunter and Sport Horse Show Hack.
In this photo he is shown by Anne Santer. 
In a rivalry that goes back 4 years, Zzeus S A++/ and SA Marzec Sen++
(Mikey) have competed against each other many times, including Sport
Horse Nationals. While Mikey has twice been Sport Horse Champion
Stallion in Hand at Region 2, Zzeus was the Region 2 Champion in 2005, and Mikey was the Reserve Champion. But with scores
of 97 and 96, who can complain?
