🖤 RIP – Mallawa Park Pseudo Echo 🖤
6 October 2008 – 19 December 2025
Friday was a devastating day for all of us at Midas Performance Horses, as we said goodbye to our much-loved Arabian Pony stallion, Mallawa Park Pseudo Echo, after a very severe case of colic.
We purchased Echo from Mallawa Park as a yearling c**t from Harry Hartelt and Elaine Hartelt 16 years ago, and we will always feel incredibly privileged to have had the opportunity to own him. He was the second Mallawa Park pony we have owned, and we cannot speak highly enough of both the ponies and their exceptional breeding.
Echo was truly a lad’s lad and ruled the roost here at Midas. Anyone who knew him knew that in-hand showing wasn’t really his thing—but put a rider on his back and give him a job to do, and he absolutely shone.
From a fairly limited show career, Echo achieved an outstanding list of accolades, including:
🏆 Grand State Champion Pinto 10.2hh–14hh (multiple times)
🏆 State Champion Ridden Arabian Pony
🏆 State Champion Arabian Pony Stallion
🏆 State Champion Partbred APSB Stallion
🏆 Grand State Champion Ridden Pinto Exhibit
🏆 Supreme Pinto – Perth Royal Show
🏆 Champion Partbred APSB - Perth Royal Show
🏆 Reserve Champion Ridden Part APSB – Perth Royal Show
🏆 High Point Ridden Arabian Derivate – WAAHA
✨ Plus many more awards
Echo has left a huge hole here at Midas and is deeply missed.
We would like to sincerely thank Jon Kelly for being there with us during Echo’s final moments and for the support you gave us through such a heartbreaking time. We truly appreciate everything you did.
Echo leaves behind what we hope will be a lasting legacy, with some beautiful progeny that we look forward to competing in the coming years. His influence, personality, and heart will live on through them.
Run free, Echo 🤍
Forever part of Midas Performance Horses.
