Mah Sabbah Bedu, (Ibn Sabbah Bedu+/  x  Bint Roulett) now 4 years old, made his class A show debut for owners Susan Mayo and Dr. Keith Kosel at the Cowtown Classic in Texas on March 18, 2005.  He was shown in the Sporthorse in Hand classes by co-owner Keith Kosel.  Mah Sabbah won his Sporthorse in Hand classes in both the Amateur and Open divisions.  He was awarded the High Point Purebred Sporthorse in Hand for the Amateur division.  Photos coming soon!!

After the classes Susan rode him around the show grounds, through dark tunnels into the brightly lit indoor arenas with bright white walls and hundreds of red seats up to the sky, around the stable areas and in general showed him the sights and sounds of a busy horse show.  He  seemed to enjoy the whole experience.

We are very proud of all of them!!!
