The Farm

Established in 1996 with the gift of a purebred Arabian mare, Catrin Arabians is the realization of a long time dream of owner Kathi McDonald to breed and show purebred Arabian horses. However it was not until 2004 and the purchase of the stud's foundation sire, Marbling Niyazon, that Kathi and husband Glenn McDonald really set off on their journey to breed beautiful Arabian horses built to ride!

Situated on an historic 80 acre property, Catrin Arabians is a small stud producing quality Arabians in a beautiful rural setting. The stud was established with the aim to breed beautiful and functional Arabians that are built to be ridden. We prize the attributes of Arabian type, substance and tractable temperaments. Having started with a strong Crabbet foundation the stud has gradually evolved to include Egyptian and El Shaklan bloodlines as well as the blood of the ethereal mare, Naadirah (imp UK).  Our horses are successful in the halter and performance show rings, and are also fantastic friends and companions with that "in your tent" temperament!

The stud boasts a stable complex with undercover wash and vet bay and stalls with access to small day yards. We also have planned a safe and secure round yard for training as well as a 60m x 20m dressage arena. Shady stallion and show horse paddocks, foaling paddocks close to the house and large broodmare and hay paddocks complete the property.

Catrin Arabians is located 10km east of the town of Katanning in Western Australia's Great Southern region. We are approximately a 3 hour drive from the capital city of Perth, and an hour and a half from the regional centre of Albany on the scenic South Coast.

With some of the Great Southern's wonderful wineries and the majestic scenery of the Stirling Ranges only an hours drive away, why not make a weekend of it and indulge in wine, food, stunning scenery and beautiful Arabian horses.
