From the Publisher Welcome to this joint edition of Arabian Horse Times and Tutto Arabi. We hope you, our readers, are enjoying this opportunity to “get acquainted� around the world. I know I am!

It has occurred to me, however, that while AHT has been a part of the Arabian community for more than 40 years now, and a leader on the American scene for much of that time, many of our foreign readers might not know our background. For their benefit, and for that of new readers here, I thought I might sketch out the highlights of our history.

Arabian Horse Times was founded in 1970, and since then has had only two owners, both of whom were deeply engaged in the breed before going into publishing. Walter Mishek, of Waseca, Minn., founded the magazine; what may not be as readily

apparent to those who do not know him is Walter’s eye for a horse.

He owned TJS Georgie Girl and Bask Calonett, both U.S. National Champion Mares (1978 and 1983), and “discovered”—or, in other words, bought and sold prior to their national championships—such luminaries as, among others, La Duquesa, Padrons Psyche and Maggdalina. Arabians are Walter’s life, just as they are mine.

I purchased Arabian Horse Times in 2008. My family has been involved in the breed for more than 40 years; my parents having founded Cedar Ridge Arabians, in Jordan, Minn., in 1969. We breed, train, show and sell Arabian horses. Through all our years in Arabians, Cedar Ridge has earned 149 National Championships and Reserves and 519 Tops Tens in all disciplines in the horse industry.

And the Times? It has grown through the years along with us. It started as a newsprint advertising publication, became a slick tabloid, and in 1974 was transformed into a beautiful four-color magazine. It has been a leader in innovation ever since. AHT published the first “theme issue” in the Arabian industry; in the years since then, the practice has become routine, but in 1974, when the Times offered an in-depth study of Gainey Arabians and the legendary stallion Ferzon, it was groundbreaking. The magazine also produced “Korona” for Polish breeders, and provided the forerunner to The Peyramid Report with the 1983 stand-alone publication, “The Egyptian Influence.” And over the years, some of the most respected professionals, breeders and amateurs in our breed have been our columnists or have written selected articles.

Our collaboration with Tutto Arabi is another first for the

Arabian horse industry. We are thrilled to work more with the worldwide Arabian horse community, and hope that for all of us who love the breed, this partnership is beneficial.

As far as I’m concerned, if you love Arabian horses, then you’re part of Arabian Horse Times’ circle of friends!

An Incendiary St allion

Pyro Thyme SA:

by Kara Larson

For most, the final evening of the U.S. Nationals marks the end of a week of hard work and dedication, and for the spectators, it allows us to watch some of the finest Arabian horses in the most exciting classes of the show. This year was no exception; however, for Claire and Margaret Larson, the Stallion Championship class held so much more than a grand finale to the show. For these enduring and genuine Arabian horse owners, this class and its outcome marked a moment that they will certainly never forget.

w w w . AHTimes . com

Pyro Thyme’s reputation and rise to the top didn’t begin in this momentous win alone. Pyro’s journey with Claire and Margaret Larson began 6 years ago in their purchase of the stallion from June Yahola as a 7-year-old. He had already been national champion futurity stallion, Scottsdale supreme champion, and he was reserve national champion to Marwan with trainer Mike Neal.

“I bought Pyro with the idea that I would stand him at stud. We knew he was special, and I believe it’s his quality that makes him such a good horse,” says Claire Larson. “If you’re looking at him and trying to find something wrong, it’s really tough to do. He’s such a solid individual all around—he’s well mannered out of the show ring as well. But he truly is a show horse. In my eyes, he’s a national champion for a reason.”

animated presence. For me, he’s undeniably special—a true Arabian stallion.”

Along with Claire and Margaret’s ownership is the training expertise of Andy Sellman. Andy’s success, especially in Pyro’s wins, is a direct product of his patience and dedication as a top Arabian horse trainer.

“Pyro is a stallion that I feel honored to have the opportunity to train and show. He has a remarkable attitude, and in the show ring, he has this proud and

Pyro’s show career turned to a focus centered on building his breeding program after his 2007 national championship, but this past year, Claire had a couple of sparks to ignite Pyro’s fire once more. “You know, I always said that I’d never bring him back to Nationals, but when we took him to Louisville this year, he did so well and he looked so good that I just had to bring him back. We got

Horses, like other animals, tend to have their favorite people and for Pyro, his favorite would be Claire’s granddaughter, Angie Sellman. “Pyro is a once-in-alifetime horse that I am so thankful to know. He is always a gentleman with tremendous spirit and kindness.

He and I share a special bond that is irreplaceable in my heart!” Angie continues, “His championship win in 2012 was truly epic; it will forever be an outstanding achievement and wonderful memory for my grandparents, the entire Argent Farms team and all of our friends who supported us through it all! From start to finish I thought it was absolutely perfect!”

a r a b i a n h or se ti m es | 5

such positive feedback, and with the support of Andy and a lot of other people, we decided that we wanted to come back to U.S. Nationals for the chance to win,” shares Claire.

“We just really wanted people to be able to see him in the show ring again. He’s the best stallion that I’ve ever owned and in my opinion, one of the best stallions ever.”

beautiful stallions and their talented and dedicated handlers, this class’ winner was to be the first recipient of the “Mike Villaseñor Memorial Trophy” donated and dedicated by the friends of Mike Villaseñor. The presenter of this trophy, Mike Neal, was a dear friend and colleague of Mike Villaseñor.

Mike Neal, as Pyro’s trainer from the time he was a yearling to the age of 7 when Claire bought him, knows the horse on a personal level. Through the years, he has seen his progression as a stallion and agrees that this year, Pyro was better than ever. “Andy has done a great job with him and he’s just got prettier with age. He’s Bask, so he’s a slow maturing horse. For a 12-year-old stallion to win that award, it was awesome because he is really coming into himself right now. And it really couldn’t happen to a nicer guy than Claire Larson.”

“I can’t imagine a better way to remember and honor Mike V.,” says Mike Neal. “He was a great person—just an incredible guy, and so knowledgeable about the horses. I think it’s very special that Pyro won this first honor.” Mike went on to share Pyro’s beginnings in life as an orphan foal and the six years of training they had together. He also shared a story about Mike V. and Pyro.

Everything in Pyro’s successful and full life seemed to be accumulating to this moment—this stallion championship class at the 2012 U.S. Nationals. In addition to the

6 | A r A b i A n H or se Ti m es

“When I told Mike about Pyro when I had him as a yearling, he came down to see him because I was telling him how special he was.” Mike continues, “Mike agreed that Pyro could be a great one. He loved that horse as much as I did, so to have Pyro win at Nationals the first year of the memorial trophy was just an incredible feeling.”

Everyone in Ford Truck Arena felt the incendiary greatness that Pyro possessed that night. The stallion had an effortless confidence that became apparent the second he loftily trotted into the arena. The arena lit up with his presence, and no one could deny the 12-yearold stallion his championship titles of “Viewer’s Choice” and 2012 U.S. National Champion Stallion.

When Pyro and Andy were the final duo to have their number called, the crowd went momentarily silent, only to finally hear what they had been long awaiting.

But when it was announced, there was nothing subtle or muted about the crowd’s reaction. Claire, Margaret, family, friends, and colleagues, poured into the arena to surround Pyro for a win picture. And this great crowd was filled with tears and hugs, as the chant of Pyro’s name rang throughout the arena. It was certainly a moment Claire, Margaret, and many others will never forget. “We were thrilled with the response of the crowd at Nationals,” shares Claire. “They were just

w w w . ahtimes . com

wild about him, which always makes it better. It was such a pleasure and honor to me that everyone was so excited about him—it was really an unforgettable night and win. I am very proud of him and very proud of everyone that was a part of it.”

Andy Sellman also thinks back on the win. “I couldn’t believe it. There was such amazing energy for Pyro, and the thing I realized that night was, ‘Whoa, I didn’t realize we have so many friends!’” But honestly, every person that was in the picture is somehow or another a part of our lives or Pyro’s life or Claire and Margaret’s life. It was so cool how many people were supportive.

Another thing that made it so wonderful was winning the Viewer’s Choice Award—having Pyro be so well received and having our friends there to share the moment with Claire and with all of us. Experiences like that are made better when surrounded by friends and family, and that’s exactly what we had.” n

The NexT ChapTer . . .

by LORI RICIGLIANO

Gemini Acres Equine played host to frequent intimate gatherings and showings during the New Year’s weekend in Cave Creek, Ariz. These gatherings were in response to the many Arabian enthusiasts who came to Arizona for the Annual ArabHorse Farm Tours. During the showings at Gemini Acres, the charismatic Da Vinci FM was always the favorite of the appreciative crowd. A collective gasp of admiration was often heard as he was presented. A regal, statuesque stallion, he exuded masculine appeal while still being gentle enough to take a carrot delicately from the smallest hands in the crowd! It was as if he actually flirted with and understood his guests. His universal appeal was as strong as when he wowed the crowds that came to meet him at the Salon du Cheval show in Paris in 2009.

“He has come into his own as a sire,” many of the new year’s visitors said. “His contributions are truly significant.” It was not surprising that he was ranked as the top Leading Sire of Futurity Halter Winners in 2012.

At 14, Da Vinci has finally found his stride. This stallion has always garnered worldwide appeal but now offers much more accessibility to breeders since he is standing at his own farm, Gemini Acres Equine. As a U.S. National Reserve Champion Stallion, he is expected to be impressive, but the caliber of his offspring has endorsed this importance.

Among the best known of his children are: U.S. National Champion Futurity Colt MPA Giovanni, now a successful sire in his own right, 2011 U.S. National Reserve Champion Yearling Arabian Filly Goddess Of Da Vinci, and most recently, Rohara Crown Prince, the 2012 U.S. National Champion 3-YearOld Colt.

Internationally, his children have always been highly sought out as both show ring contenders and additions to esteemed breeding programs. In 2012 at the UAE National Arabian Horse Championship in Abu Dhabi, Ricardo Rivero presented Vicenta TO to a Gold National Championship as Junior Female.

Da Vinci’s offspring have also gathered rose garlands at the major shows for their proud owners in both halter and now in performance as they are reaching that age of maturity. Their trainability is well known. They are sweet tempered, intelligent individuals who enjoy their relationships with their owners, handlers, and riders.

“His children are winning,” states Victor Ricigliano. Victor is part of the marketing team at Gemini Acres Equine. “In the past, some have thought of Da Vinci as only an incredible individual, that he was just an amazing stallion, but now they see he produces champions and good minded, trainable offspring. That is the true litmus test of a sire.”

“This year will provide a unique opportunity for Arabian horse enthusiasts. Not only will some of Da Vinci’s best foals be in the ring, but also Da Vinci himself, will be making his return to the ring at Scottsdale,” Victor explains.

Preparing for Scottsdale, to be shown by Greg Gallún, Da Vinci’s daily conditioning and training is overseen by one of the Arabian horse industry’s longtime horsemen, Chris Barter, the manager at Gemini Acres Equine. Chris Barter’s attention to detail has assured that Da Vinci will be happy, healthy and in the proper state of mind and condition when he breaks the gate at Scottsdale. “Da Vinci is a once-in-a-lifetime type of horse. He is a happy and proud stallion and he knows what to do. He enjoys his daily work and when it’s time for him to show, he will be trailered from our farm here in Cave Creek to the capable hands of Greg Gallún at the show grounds. We like keeping our horses in-house and show from here. The trainer comes

to Gemini Acres to school and then we deliver the horse to the show for them. We can monitor our horses’ daily condition and stress levels better because we know them intimately, usually since they were foals.

If a horse is ever feeling even just a little off, we recognize that quickly because we have a large handler to horse ratio.”

When asked, why bring Da Vinci back to the show ring, both Chris and Victor are in agreement. “We want people just to step back, take a look and realize what a beautiful Arabian stallion Da Vinci has become,” adding thoughtfully, “When you see Da Vinci, you see Arabian type.”

Anticipation is building at Gemini Acres for the Scottsdale show.

On deck, in addition to Da Vinci FM, will be his children: Goddess Of Da Vinci, whose mother was the National Champion Marwan Al Shaqab daughter, Goddess Of Marwan, and SW Da Vidica, out of the legendary mare SW Jasmine, by Magnum Psyche, and Princess

DaVinci GA, a daughter of the ethereal mare Symphony of Love, an El Nabila B daughter.

Gemini Acres is enjoying working with world-class trainers this year at Scottsdale including Greg Gallún, Rodolfo Guzzo, Ricardo Rivero and Michael Byatt, who is on the lead of Goddess Of Da Vinci.

For Gemini Acres Equine’s owners, Jim and Sally Bedeker, the response to Da Vinci and his foals has been especially gratifying.

The quality of his foals has surpassed even what they expected when they purchased Da Vinci in 2007. “The offspring we’re getting now

a r abian h orse ti mes | 15

are incredible,” Jim says. “You pretty much know what you are going to get when you breed to Da Vinci, but this year, I think, we have found niches that work especially well. The season is still early, but we believe we are producing some of the best foals we ever have.”

“We had a trainer here looking at Goddess Of Da Vinci the other day,” he continues, “and the first thing he said when they brought her out was, ‘Oh, my, she’s got that great Da Vinci attitude! How wonderful!’ That was even after Goddess had been worked just two hours earlier, as the trainer came on the spur of the moment. Goddess still came out with her tail over her back, snorting, blowing, and having a grand old time. That’s very consistent with Da Vinci offspring.”

Chris agrees. “Of the Da Vinci offspring I have worked with, the babies are very similar,” he confirms. “They’ve got great attitudes and they light up in a minute. The similarities of the Da Vinci offspring are easy to see. We see the consistency in their beautiful faces, large dark eyes, excellent work attitude, along with good bone structure and size. They like themselves, they like to flag their tail and show off! Just like their sire!”

Along with his show personality, there is the very apparent tractability of Da Vinci’s interaction with humans. “We occasionally take Da Vinci out, nose him up to a mare and he snorts and blows and he shows off like a giant dragon,” says Victor with a smile. “You walk the mare away and less than 30 seconds later you can put a child up onto his back, bareback, for a ride. Da Vinci is that good-minded of a horse.”

Da Vinci is bold, beautiful, and he’s also become a great producer, the true mark of any stallion. He produces horses that can show with attitude and style, along with good trainable minds. His offspring can be handled and loved by their amateur owner. They are what the Arabian horse is supposed to be, a show and family horse.

As for Jim Bedeker, a welcome benefit has been that personality. “We weren’t able to be around Da Vinci that much until we brought him back to our farm in Arizona last year,” he offers. “Da Vinci is just a great horse to be around.

It’s nice to be able to walk out into the barns, see your stallion, feel his presence and see how he responds to you. We get great enjoyment out of just looking at him and I especially love watching Sally feeding him carrots! ”

2012 Leading SireS

The following charts are ranked both on number of winners (get) and on a point system.

The purebred halter and performance sires are assigned points as follows: Top Ten: 5 pts.; Reserve Champion: 8 pts.; and Champion: 10 pts.

A versatile horse may win in a number of different classes. Thus, a purebred stallion represented by just one son or daughter with several wins is included in the points chart, but only once in number of winners.

In the Half-Arabian charts, Half-Arabian winners were all the purebred sire requires to make the list. To make the overall charts, the sire needed to have points in both halter and performance with purebred and/or Half-Arabian winners. Only championship classes were considered.

Da Vinci FM, Futurity Leading Halter Sire

For Arabian horse breeders, futurities, as the name suggests, are an eye on the future. Sure, the name comes from the fact that you have to nominate horses in advance; you are “betting on� the future of their foals. But in reality, futurity classes can be early indicators of which young stallions are up and coming, and how they compare to well-known, well-established sires. The past few years have seen an explosion of futurity shows across the country, with the result that horsemen now have more data than ever before with which to make breeding decisions. If you are looking for a stallion, or perhaps for a breeder whose horses fit your requirements, the chances are very good that you may find them here.

From Georgia to Scottsdale, Las Vegas to Minnesota and points in between, the futurity rankings for the 2012 Arabian horse show season tell the story.
