HEY HALLELUJAH++//       (stats compiled 12/2008)

    Hey Hallelujah++// is a grey, purebred stallion foaled in 1993. His sire, Huckleberry Bey++ (Bay El Bey++ x Taffona by Raffon++), was a leading sire for Varian Arabians throughout his lifetime and was also a distinguished show horse, winning U.S. Reserve National Champion honors in open English Pleasure as an eight-year-old and in Futurity Halter at three. Hey Hallelujah++//’s dam, Hallelujah Bask (*Bask++ x Heritage Montoya by El Magato) was also an impressive, national-winning show horse in the 1980’s. A Scottsdale Champion Park horse twice, Hallelujah Bask was Canadian National Champion Park Horse in 1988 and U.S. National Reserve Champion Park Horse in 1988 and 1989. Varian Arabian’s Canadian National Champion Stallion Bay El Bey++ was most impressive as a sire of show horses and sires, so much so that he was dubbed the “King Maker,” a reference to his ability to sire prolific leading sires of champions. A multi-national champion in the 1960’s, Hey Hallelujah++//’s maternal grandsire *Bask++ held the title of the Leading Sire of National Winners in the Arabian Breed for over thirty years after his death. Hey Hallelujah++//’s tail-female line includes the splendid producing mare Heritage Montoya (El Magato x Doraza by El Zarib). A National Top Ten in Formal Driving, Heritage Montoya is the dam of five national winners, four of them National Champions in Park, English Pleasure and Formal Driving.

   It comes as no surprise therefore that Hey Hallelujah++//’s show career spanned a decade and included multiple Regional championships in English Pleasure (Open and Junior Horse), Pleasure Driving (Open and Amateur), Halter and Informal Combination. He was the Scottsdale Show Champion in English Pleasure and Pleasure Driving, Ohio Buckeye Champion Pleasure Driving and Pacific Slope Champion Halter Stallion. His 19 major national and international titles include Canadian and U.S. National Championships in English Pleasure and Pleasure Driving and a U.S. National Championship in Pleasure Driving Amateur, as well as multiple Top Ten awards in English Pleasure Junior Horse and Stallion Halter.

   Hey Hallelujah++//’s first foal crop arrived in 1998 and among them was his first national winner, RO Atlantis+// (x Santana’s Stewardess). RO Atlantis+// took his first national award in 1999 at the U.S. National Championships where he was named Top Ten HA Yearling Colt/Gelding Halter. To date, he has accumulated nine national awards in halter, including Youth National Championships in 2003 and 2004. Hey Hallelujah++//’s top Half-Arabian show horse is from his second foal crop in 1999. Hey Bey Be++// (x Scarlets Swirling Ember) is the winner of 17 national awards in Half-Arabian Halter, Country English Pleasure and Country Pleasure Driving. She won her first national award in 2003 at the U.S. National Championships in HA Country English Pleasure Junior Horse and her first National Championship in 2005 at Youth Nationals in HA Country English Pleasure JOTR 13 & Under. In 2007 Hey Bey Be++// was Canadian National Champion in both HA Country English Pleasure JO and JT 17 & Under. Hey Hallelujah++//’s most successful purebred offspring is Hey Its My Toi+// (x Jatoi by Matoi). Hey Its My Toi has an equally deep show record with 19 national awards in English Pleasure Junior Horse, English Pleasure Futurity and English Pleasure JTR/JOTR, as well as Native Costume Amateur. This sharp bay gelding has been a national champion four times and a reserve national champion twice in competition at the Canadian and Youth National shows.

   The sire of 18 national winners, 10 purebreds and 8 Half-Arabians, Hey Hallelujah++//’s top offspring have accumulated 84 national awards in English Pleasure, Country English Pleasure, Country Pleasure Driving, Ladies Side Saddle, Hunter Pleasure and Halter divisions.
