Harwin Arabians

As the seasons slowly turn and Zimbabwe ventures closer to winter, we warmly welcome the arrival of our last foal of the 2025/2026 breeding season.

𝐇𝐀 𝐒𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐣𝐚𝐡
Skai Sodashi (EKS Alihandro/ Sidi Scorpio) x Shania Shelina (Tehama Ali/ Tehama Na Sidaqa)

This promising c**t houses a pedigree consisting of a beautiful blend of Russian/ Egyptian/ Spanish bloodlines and is a maternal relative of the illustrious Zimbabwean born world champion mare, Tehama Ballalina (Tehama Na Sidaqa x JJ Shai Majestic Queen).

We have named him after the Emirate which became home to Ballalina and where we had the wonderful opportunity of meeting her last year.

We are delighted to welcome the elegant mare, Charlottenberg Clara (Shaykh Barrani x Chapmar Cleopatra (by Patrician B)) to our family.

Clara’s pedigree is a beautiful blend of Polish/ Russian/ Egyptian and Crabbet/ Old English bloodlines. She will be the first mare of Crabbet/ Old English breeding to join our breeding program in 10 years and is a special new addition to our broodmare band.

Clara is presently in foal to the sensation multi US champion, Delacroixx (RD Dynamo x HED Caramba) and will be resident in Nambia for the foreseeable future. Her foal will mark the first Harwin Arabians foal to be produced on Namibian soil.

We are so grateful to our friends at Charlottenberg Arabians for making this all possible✨

Skai Sodashi x Charlottenberg Złota Bibi (Ascot DD)

Born in the early hours on the 28th of February, this beautiful filly signifies the arrival of the first Skai Sodashi (EKS Alihandro/ Sidi Scorpio) foals born here at Harwin Arabians.

Złota Bianka’s dam, Charlottenberg Złota Bibi is a direct import in utero from the famed Michalow State Stud in Poland. Złota Bibi was foaled in Nambia at Charlottenberg Arabians and joined us in 2024. Złota Bibi was declared the 2025 Zimbabwean National Champion Senior Mare and her Namibian resident dam, Złota Rola (by Laheeb), was declared the 2023 Southern African Champion mare.

This filly houses some of the finest showing greats in her pedigree in the Arabian Horse world and we very much look forward to watching her grow and mature.

As 2025 draws to a close, we at Harwin Arabians are feeling incredibly grateful for a year filled with milestones, memories and meaningful connections.

In April, we had the honour of travelling to Abu Dhabi as delegates for Zimbabwe at the World Arabian Horse Conference. It was an inspiring experience, connecting with passionate, like-minded people from across the global Arabian horse community.

July brought one of our proudest moments to date at the 2025 Zimbabwean National Championships. We presented just six of our mares and fillies, and each one returned home with either a National Champion or Reserve National Champion title — a truly humbling achievement.

August marked the arrival of a very special milestone with the birth of HA Ghazi, our first foal of the season and the first foal out of Spirit Garnet. A moment we will always treasure.

In November, another long-held dream came to life with the announcement of my book, The History of the Arabian Horse in Zimbabwe, published by The Arabian Magazine, becoming available for pre-order, with its official release scheduled for February 2026.

November also saw us travel to South Africa to attend the Arab Horse Society of South Africa’s Summer Show — a wonderful, festive three-day celebration featuring nearly 200 Arabian horses across halter, ridden and liberty classes. It was a fantastic opportunity to meet fellow breeders and admire the exceptional quality of horses on display.

As we head into Christmas, we extend our heartfelt thanks to everyone who has supported, encouraged and shared this journey with us throughout the year. We wish you and your horses a joyful Christmas and a successful, healthy 2026.

Thank you to Samantha Mattocks & The Arabian Magazine for making this all possible.

We are delighted to announce the publication of our co-founder’s debut book ‘The History of the Arabian horse in Zimbabwe’.

The book is now available for pre-order and due to be published in February 2026.

This book is the first complete comprehensive account of the history of the Arabian horse in our beautiful part of the world.

We hope you enjoy this book as much as we enjoy sharing this news with you✨

We are delighted to share that we will be publishing a new book in early 2026 - The History of the Arabian Horse in Zimbabwe by Matt Harwin!
