Region 12
Mark Miller Sets Stage for History-Making Homecoming Celebration
at Al-Marah Arabians in Clermont, Fla., Sunday, December 14, 2014
Mark Miller will write a new chapter of Arabian horse history when he rolls out the red carpet at Al-Marah Arabians LLC, on Sunday, December 14, 2014, to welcome the broodmare elite of its world-famous herd, to the farm's new Clermont, Florida, lakefront headquarters. Privately owned by only three families in 200 years, the Al-Marah herd is directly descended from the Bedouin horses first gathered in the Arabian desert by Abbas Pasha in 1815. It is the oldest, continuously bred, privately-owned band of Arabian horses in the world.
The day-long Homecoming Celebration, hosted by Miller, includes a line-up of nonstop activities and entertainment starting at 11:00 am befitting the once-in-a-lifetime event. The herd will be making music in multi-disciplinary riding exhibitions featuring Al-Marah winners of more than 40 National Championships in 2013 and 2014. A memorable liberty act performance will showcase the horse-human bond as the trainer directs the horse like a conductor leading an orchestra. Also on the agenda: a catered barbecue to barn tours (and, you can bet they'll "deck the stalls"), plus an invigorating educational clinic to a select sale of Al-Marah Arabian horses.
The 2:00 pm arrival of the Homecoming stars themselves, spotlights 14 glistening broodmares arriving from Tucson, as they step from a convoy of transport vans to make their debut into the Sunshine state. Mark's hand-picked "best of the best," Al-Marah's broodmare crown jewels, includes some with the added honor of carrying the forthcoming first Al-Marah Clermont foal crop due in 2015. (About 90 days after their arrival in Florida according to Miller).
We still know how to put on a show," says Miller, whose Arabian Nights Dinner Attraction wrapped its 25-year Orlando run last year on Dec. 31, 2013. This year, the son of Al-Marah's founder, the late Bazy Tankersley, will welcome local dignitaries to horse enthusiasts from around the world to the picturesque 78-acre farm in Clermont for a Homecoming that's building "buzz" as the equine event of the Season.
Al-Marah Arabian Horses LLC is located at 11105 Autumn Lane in Clermont, Florida. Its world-renowned Arabian breeding operation and stable of show horses is dedicated to producing beautiful athletes with endurance, agility, the "heart of a warrior," and trademark Al-Marah dispositions--safe, affectionate, and willing horses, bred to be friends and companions. Located in central Florida, Al-Marah Clermont is an hour's drive from Orlando International Airport, gateway to one of the world's top tourism destinations and now, to this historic Arabian horse breeder.
The Al-Marah Homecoming Celebration takes place on Sunday, December 14, 2014 from 11:00 am - 4:00 pm. The event is open to the public. Visit: www.al-marah.com. RSVP to (352) 536-1502 or email eileen@almaraharabians.net.
