DR. N

CY O’R

t has been quite the show season for Dr. Nancy O’Reilly, the face of Amazing Horse Woman LLC, and two of her horses especially, Life In the Fazt Lane and Halsteads Deven, the current standouts in her program.

Making his Nationals debut in October in Arabian English Pleasure Open with Jim Lowe, the stallion Life Inthe Fazt Lane has been proving his potential with several babies on the ground who are showing the same performance potential.

And Halsteads Deven? Well, she has been on the show scene for over a decade collecting over 15 national championships.

’ NEVER--E END NG NG ST TO O

by Sarah Jayne Johnson

2011 Scottsdale Park ATR), Sarah Jayne Johnson, Michelle Pease Paulson, and now, Dr. O’Reilly.

“Deven came into my life two years ago after U.S. Nationals,” shares O’Reilly. “Jim Lowe had basically raised her and knew someone needed to buy this special horse.

I was touched by her story and what a champion she had become, and I was thrilled with the opportunity of learning to ride an English/Park horse. I knew she would teach me so much, and you know, it turns out I was right. She is just returning from the Canadian Nationals

and again walked away with another National Championship at 17 years old. I also rode her and earned a top ten in one of the wildest Park classes I had ever been in. She is fearless and just keeps going; stronger and stronger.”

Halsteads Deven is a true show horse.

When she hits the arena, she’s excited and ready to go, however, she is more than just her show record. “People who know her say she has the biggest heart and I could not agree more,” says O’Reilly. “Our older Arabs can have long, full careers as show horses. We just need to love them and care for them and they just get better— Deven sure does!”

O’Reilly is also celebrating her first year since purchasing the Southern California Equestrian Center (SCEC). It is a work in progress, in O’Reilly’s words, with Lowe Show Horse Centre a mainstay, a hunter/jumper trainer and now a vaulting trainer.

This Half-Arabian mare holds a very dear place in the hearts of all the riders she has taken to championship wins; from trainer Jim Lowe, who claims the show mare to be “the Tom Brady of Arabian horses,” to previous owners Melanie Ronen (who earned Halsteads Deven’s first big win in

Planning her next steps for the facility, O’Reilly says, “The property itself is getting lots of improvements, with new round pens, a new roof and lots of fresh paint. Many don’t know, that at one time the famous

Life Inthe Fazt Lane Ar abian Horse Times | 6 | Volume 50, No. 4A A

Beauty and actress Zsa Zsa Gabor owned the property. She loved horses as much as I do. I am very excited that the Zsa Zsa House is being remodeled and will be ready by the end of month for parties, events and weddings.

“My big white Half-Arabian, Phi Beta Kappa, is slated to pull a beautiful white carriage for the bride and later, the happy couple, to their wedding celebration. I just became an ordained minister and can’t wait to officiate at my first of many weddings! We also just had our third dressage horse show and will have another at the end of the month. We hope to have more horse shows, but breeding is a top priority.”

On site, O’Reilly owns two of the three stallions standing at SCEC: Life Inthe Fazt Lane and Affliction, who is the son of the third stallion, Mamage, all proudly standing and bred at the facility.

Furthermore, O’Reilly exudes, “I am thrilled about what we can and will do at SCEC. Our motto is, ‘Southern California Equestrian Center is a place for people who love horses.’

We want this to be a destination farm to come and visit. We also have 20 stalls that can become the ‘Airbnb’ for your special horse. We are close to hotels and great shopping; beaches and mountains; and of course, LA. Come visit … we will keep the lights on!”

Southern California Equestrian Center In the meantime, O’Reilly will be taking an impressive group of horses to show at the U.S. Nationals in October, including the incredible aforementioned Life Inthe Fazt Lane and Halsteads Deven, as well as CSP Hennessy, Phi Beta Kappah, Affliction, Lola CA, and more. n

FE ATURED PRODUC TS

PRODUCT 1: HORSE HAIR ANALYSIS

Horse Hair Analysis® is a cutting edge lab test, thorough 15 page report and consultation with Dr. DePaolo. This, combined with the custom made HHA Personal Supplement, have become a revolutionary approach for owners, trainers, and veterinarians looking to help horses regain peak health and performance.

“Whenever I have a horse that isn’t living up to its potential, I recommend HHA to my customers because it is an effective tool in pinpointing nutritional issues and improving the condition of my horses.” - Sally Randle

PRODUCT 2: EXCEL

Excel™ is beneficial for the entire digestive system. It aides in lessening the discomfort from gastric upset and promotes the healing of ulcerated tissues.

The combination of natural ingredients encourages overall digestive health and allows for increased absorption of needed nutrients.

“To help keep the stress of training and showing from affecting my horses, I use Excel Digestive Supplement as a key part of my feed program. They don’t resist being cinched up, aren’t as tight and are more accepting of training. My horses are able to give me their best each ride.”

- Steven Scoggins, Long Meadow Arabians

PRODUCT 3: ESSENTIAL

Essential is a complete vitamin and mineral supplement which addresses the fundamental nutritional requirements of your horse. Every biological system of your horse needs the correct amount of these ingredients to work properly. Bio-available minerals help support musculoskeletal health, and coupled with the vitamins, promote healthy immune and neurologic function.

“We changed our feed program 3 years ago to what Dr. Mark recommends, and we couldn’t be more pleased with the results. Essential is a key part of making our equine athletes look and perform at their best.” - Joe & Michele Reser

PRODUCT 4: ULCER RX

Changes in attitude, movement and body condition can be caused by ulcers. In as little as five days, an overly acidic stomach can result in mild to severe lesions of the stomach lining. UlcerRx uses a proprietary blend of Omeprazole, sodium bicarbonate and bismuth subsalicylate to reduce acid and help soothe ulcerated tissue. Prescription only.

“We put all of our horses on UlcerRx paste at shows because it is affordable and works great!”- LaRae Fletcher Powell Ar abian Horse Times | 37 | Volume 50, No. 4A A

Since 2009, the golden duo, Robin Porter and Caliente Virtuoso from Weatherford, Texas, have captivated the U.S. Nationals arena successfully winning 7 National Champioships, 4 Reserve National Champions and 15 Top Tens in the Maturity, AAOTR 40 & over, AAOTR 36-54 and the ABS Jackpot Class.

Cal has been under the watchful hands of Josh and Jennifer Quintus of Colonial Wood Training Center since Robin’s purchase of him in 2008 and Josh himself has ridden Cal to the winners circle numerous times, but this year’s National’s story is about the love affair of a girl and her golden horse...

Every good story there is a beginning and an end. Their story is no different; they have had a great beginning, but it is time for it to come to an end. The last show for this duo will be here at the 2019 U.S. Nationals. It has been an incredible journey with many pages and chapters, many national titles and awesome rides and most importantly, the memories that have been made and cherished.

“Caliente Virtuoso has been and will always be my once in a lifetime horse. It has been an honor and a privilege to call him mine. Thank you to all that have been part of this story.” Robin

J UDGES’ PERSPECTI V E

What are your personal pros and cons of judging on a selected panel specific to divisions/classes vs. judging a typical class A show where you’re judging all divisions/classes? There really are no cons, in my opinion, but I will say, it is important that all judges on the panel are all on the same page when it comes to maneuvers and penalties.

The pros are that you can focus more on one event during the day as opposed to multiple events that require different scoring systems.

Watching videos the evening before or morning of is very important to get your mindset into the event you’re judging.

What small detail(s) do you feel are often overlooked to complete the overall presentation of a horse and rider/handler? The most important detail overlooked is preparation before entering the show ring, which is either not making sure your horse is supple or relaxed before entering, or over-preparing by leaving your best maneuvers outside the show ring and coming in with a horse that is already fatigued. This, I feel, is where mistakes are made.

As a judge, what is something that you always appreciate seeing?

What is your biggest pet peeve? I appreciate an exhibitor that shows off their horse’s best features or maneuvers and not try to overdue the horse’s not-so-good ones. Pet peeves are riders that give into certain styles and trends of showing or riding that really does not help in achieving that higher mark.

What advice would you give to someone considering pursuing getting their judges card? I say ring steward/scribe as much as you can, plus judge as many open/4-H shows as you possibly can to get the ring experience. Many associations offer schools for potential judges to attend to learn the scoring systems and what judges need to know before applying for a card. Also, watch as many videos as possible, as most testing is done with videos.

How do you respond when people accuse/assume the outcome of a class was political? Lol ... I invite them to volunteer to scribe or ring steward, to see the perspective from the judge’s chair or inside the ring. I as a judge, enjoy explaining why I gave certain scores or particular maneuvers.

Ar abian Horse Times | 51 | Volume 50, No. 4A A

What are your personal pros and cons of judging on a selected panel specific to divisions/classes vs. judging a typical class A show where you’re judging all divisions/classes? I am quite adamant, and most likely in the minority, about judging only events I have shown. A judge has much more clarity and understanding of an event and will judge it much more accurately once he or she has been a contestant in that particular field. I truly feel a judge should have shown, even if only a few times, in any event they are now going to have final say over.

What small detail(s) do you feel are often overlooked to complete the overall presentation of a horse and rider/handler? As a judge, I like to see an overall professional look, both horse equipment and rider, that stays true to that particular event. As for pet peeves: misshapen hats. I would like to think I don’t have pet peeves as a judge, but my wife has assured me that, yes, I do, and she is correct ... it is misshapen cowboy hats, lol!

As a judge, what is something that you always appreciate seeing?

What is your biggest pet peeve? I am so appreciative of contestants that are on time for their class. I in no way, as a judge, want to rush an exhibitor. I also don’t want to have to wait on one either. With the size of most shows these days, having riders be prompt not only is pleasing to the judges, it also helps the show run much more smoothly and efficiently.

How do you respond when people accuse/assume the outcome of a class was political? I have held my judge’s card for over 25 years now. These accusations used to really bother me, but anymore, I don’t even respond to it. I can always back up my score cards with video and fact as to why I marked something this way or that, if this came to be a problem in a professional setting (i.e. the judges’ room, show management, etc.). As for the small talk and whispering that has gone on for years, I just rise above it and go on with the show. I don’t think it will ever completely go away and it is something you hear in all associations.

What advice would you give to someone considering pursuing getting their judges card? Go for it. Make sure you have studied your subject well and I highly recommend scribing for at least one year before making a final decision on whether to get it or not. Some people find that sitting in a chair and focusing on one thing for eight hours is not what they had in mind when they thought of being a judge, and then others, find they absolutely love it and wish they could do it longer.

Ar abian Horse Times | 52 | Volume 50, No. 4A A

J UDGES’ PERSPECTI V E

What are your personal pros and cons of judging on a selected panel specific to divisions/classes vs. judging a typical class A show where you’re judging all divisions/classes? I find judging both types to be very enjoyable, as I do like judging; something I consider a must if you choose to become a judge.

The advantage to an all-around show is that you get to see and judge a variety of classes. I find it very interesting to judge and see the different events. However, management can help a judge to stay focused by doing all of the same “type of classes” together. For example, I find it easier to judge all the trail classes and then move to another event such as halter or reining and do all of it.

Specialized shows have some advantages also. I know I will get to judge some top end individuals if I am doing a specialized event. As judges, we often find ourselves judging beginners or novice patterns, so it is good to get to judge some of the high credit earning patterns.

What small detail(s) do you feel are often overlooked to complete the overall presentation of a horse and rider/handler? It is important that the rider be prepared and make their first impression a good one. I like to see a well turned out rider. The exhibitor should have their tack and boots clean. Their outfit should fit and be crisp. I like to see a well-shaped hat, good fitting chaps, numbers on straight, shirts tucked in and being ready to show. When I see a rider prepared, it makes me excited, as I feel I will see a good pattern.

As a judge, what is something that you always appreciate seeing?

What is your biggest pet peeve? I appreciate a rider being ready. Then I know they want to show their horse. A pet peeve is when someone tells me it is their horse’s first show because their horse is acting up. I probably already figured that out. Everyone and every horse have a first show. Just work on being prepared so your first show is a positive experience for you and your horse.

How do you respond when people accuse/assume the outcome of a class was political? It is important to me that I keep good notes and have a reason that is in line with the rules for my placings. There will always be people who feel that the outcome is not right. I try not to be affected by that. I will always go over an individual’s score (with a ring steward present) and explain to them the subjective and objective rational. I will not compare two individuals, as I feel exhibitors may ask about their ride, but not the other competitors.

What advice would you give to someone considering pursuing getting their judges card? If you want to be a judge, you must enjoy making evaluations based on the criteria for each class. An individual must be prepared and know all the rules pertaining to the various classes. Also, I think it is important to have the time to judge. Don’t try to become a judge if you have too many other commitments in your life. A good judge judges many shows and learns from his/her mistakes. It is like showing horses; you can’t expect to be really good if you only do it once in a while. Make a commitment and go for it! It is fun!

Ar abian Horse Times | 53 | Volume 50, No. 4A A

What are your personal pros and cons of judging on a selected panel specific to divisions/classes vs. judging a typical class A show where you’re judging all divisions/classes? I enjoy the challenge of judging all facets of the industry, but of course, I do prefer those areas in which I have more education and expertise.

GARY REYNOLDS

[

YEARS AS A JUDGE:

[

What small detail(s) do you feel are often overlooked to complete the overall presentation of a horse and rider/handler? I personally believe that when an exhibitor is enjoying the experience of showing that particular horse on that run, it shows through in every corner of the pattern or work. Love what you’re doing, enjoy the ride, or at least, fake it ‘til you make it!

As a judge, what is something that you always appreciate seeing?

What is your biggest pet peeve? I appreciate seeing the respect that exhibitors show to each other in the pen after results are called out.

Respect is earned.

How do you respond when people accuse/assume the outcome of a class was political? My response to the feelings of politics is simply this, if it is an individually scored class, i.e., trial or reining, is to look at the score sheet for trends. Most of the time, what is assumed to be politics is generally a lack of understanding about how classes are judged and place. Education of the public and exhibitors has done a great deal to dispel the feeling of politics.

What advice would you give to someone considering pursuing getting their judges card? Learn as much as you can from as many different people as you can. Talk to some of the judges that have been around for awhile, and get their views on as much as you can.

How do you feel social media has impacted our industry? I feel it has impacted the industry somewhat negatively. Facebook, etc., tends to let people feel they are a part of something without that them ever being there. Our industry (hobby) needs people to visit farms and participate in person, not via social media.

What venue do you feel is the ideal location for a horse show? Why? Great weather makes a horse show more enjoyable. So, the south in the winter and the north in the summer. There are so many great venues if you are there the right time of the year.

Past or present, who would be your ideal judging panel? List three.

Peter Cameron Sheila Varian Stan White, Sr. They each had strong opinions of what they liked and disliked.

If you could add, change or bring one thing back to U.S. Nationals, what would it be? Why? Bring back ONE National Championship Halter class for Mares, Stallions and Geldings.

What is your earliest U.S. Nationals memory? Gene LaCroix in Albuquerque showing Scarlett Lace in Park one handed!

ROB BICK RBC SHOW HORSES, LLC SMITHFIELD, NC

What is the most important thing you would like your clients to know and understand during a show like U.S. Nationals? To use the show as an opportunity to compare what you like and dislike. It is a great place to see top horses presented by talented people. It can be a tremendous learning experience.

Years as a trainer… 10

Years as a trainer… 13 How do you feel social media has impacted our industry? Social media is helpful to get information out to a large group of people. However, it takes away from the one-on-one relationships, and having actual conversations over the phone or in person. Positive things can be spread very quickly, while at the same time, negative things spread like wildfire.

How do you feel social media has impacted our industry? I think social media has impacted our industry in a positive way. It gives people with a limited budget more opportunity to promote their horse that they might not have been able to afford to do. It also gives stallion owners the chance to showcase their stallions and their offspring.

What venue do you feel is the ideal location for a horse show? Why? I really enjoyed the World Equestrian Center in Wilmington, OH. Region 13 has been held there, and this was my first year attending that show there. Lovely arenas, plenty of working space, great little houses across the street and small cabins on site.

What venue do you feel is the ideal location for a horse show? Why? I don’t have a specific venue in mind, but I do think we need to be in a place with a lot of different options to work our horses. It would also be good to be in a city that has a lot of people coming through it so that it would be easier for us to introduce new people to the breed and get them involved

If you could add, change or bring one thing back to U.S. Nationals, what would it be? Why? I would like to see a combination class.

Something different that would attract people from their stalls to the stands to see the excitement of the class.

Past or present, who would be your ideal judging panel? List three.

Stanley White, Sr. Peter Cameron Martha Murdock Rattner

What is your earliest U.S. Nationals memory? The first time I attended U.S. Nationals was in 2008 with Michigan State University.

I was a student there and spent the year training and conditioning an MSU-bred Arabian mare, named MSU Starmaker, for competition in the Arabian Hunter Pleasure Futurity class. What a blast that was!

If you could add, change or bring one thing back to U.S. Nationals, what would it be? Why? I would bring back formal night, get people excited again. One thing I would take away is the availability of the live feed at the stalls. It makes it too easy for everyone to sit back in the barn and watch instead of coming to fill the stands. There’s no better feeling than showing in a packed arena.

What is the most important thing you would like your clients to know and understand during a show like U.S. Nationals? There is a lot of stress on the horses at this show. These horses sense the constant nerves from other horses, exhibitors and trainers all around them. It is my job to ensure the horses I’m responsible for, are as comfortable as possible at all times.

What is your earliest U.S. Nationals memory? U.S. Nationals 2000 in Albuquerque. I remember how many people where there and what a big deal the show was. You had to have tickets to get in, otherwise you wouldn’t have a seat.

What is the most important thing you would like your clients to know and understand during a show like U.S. Nationals? We all come here with the dream of being national champion ... every single one of us.

We need to remember why we do this—we love our horses and we love this sport. Don’t get so caught up in the placing that you don’t enjoy the experience.

Years as a trainer… 35+ How do you feel social media has impacted our industry? I do not participate in any social media because I don’t like the negativity and petty arguments. I try to distance myself.

What venue do you feel is the ideal location for a horse show? Why? Louisville, KY! So many great memories; there is nothing like riding on the green shavings in Freedom Hall.

Past or present, who would be your ideal judging panel? List three.

I could not possibly pick three. There are so many good judges out there for which I have great respect.

If you could add, change or bring one thing back to U.S. Nationals, what would it be? Why? More fun and less intensity so clients can relax and have fun.

What is your earliest U.S. Nationals memory? A memory that sticks out was in 1982, I believe. I remember seeing Padron show in Stallion Halter with so many other great stallions. It was such a competitive and impressive class.

What is the most important thing you would like your clients to know and understand during a show like U.S. Nationals? Have fun and enjoy the ride!

Years as a trainer… Arabian horses, 12.

How do you feel social media has impacted our industry? I do believe social media has become a very large outlet for our industry. Whether it be for our sales, advertisements or breeding programs, it is a great tool to use.

What venue do you feel is the ideal location for a horse show? Why? Kentucky. I feel the prestige and atmosphere of the venue is greatly beneficial to our industry.

Past or present, who would be your ideal judging panel? List three.

Joyce Thomas Joey Canada Gail Grub Being from Washington and growing up watching these three amazing horse people as mentors, it would be a humbling experience to be able to perform in front of them.

If you could add, change or bring one thing back to U.S. Nationals, what would it be? Why? I think we should bring back the wine walk.

I feel it really helped the clients tour the barns and socialize and have something to look forward to.

What is your earliest U.S. Nationals memory? The first time I watched the Half-Arabian open park on the green shavings. That is something I’ll never forget!

What is the most important thing you would like your clients to know and understand during a show like U.S. Nationals? It’s another horse show! You work just as hard, you dream just as big, you ride your best.

Ride your ride.

Years as a trainer… 30 How do you feel social media has impacted our industry? I think it has a huge impact, especially Facebook, with sale horses and knowing what everyone else is doing, and getting your ads out. It makes you feel connected to everyone around the country.

What venue do you feel is the ideal location for a horse show? Why? I just went to the World Championship Horse Show in Louisville, Kentucky. I, amongst others, miss showing in Freedom Hall. However, I know that there aren’t enough arenas there, so it is probably not feasible enough for us to go back there.

Past or present, who would be your ideal judging panel? List three.

Our industry has so many great judges that I am fortunate enough to show under and judge with, that I couldn’t possibly pick three.

If you could add, change or bring one thing back to U.S. Nationals, what would it be? Why? I would like to see the top ten come back in a final class again, but only at U.S. Nationals. I don’t think it would work at Youth Nationals because the kids have way too many classes. I do miss going back as a top ten and competing for champion and reserve. It puts a whole new spin on the finals.

What is your earliest U.S. Nationals memory? I think I competed at U.S. Nationals when I was 12 and was competing in amateur classes as a child, way before Youth Nationals.

What is the most important thing you would like your clients to know and understand during a show like U.S. Nationals? That they need to remember to have fun and enjoy the ride.

How do you feel social media has impacted our industry? I think social media has helped our industry in several ways. We can put sale horses online and get interest in them within minutes. We also can promote breeding stallions to people who might not otherwise ever get a chance to see certain stallions.

What venue do you feel is the ideal location for a horse show? Why? Scottsdale (when the sun is shining)! Arizona is a beautiful place that time of year and it allows everyone in the country to get out of the cold for a few weeks and enjoy beautiful Arabian horses and beautiful weather.

Past or present, who would be your ideal judging panel? List three.

Richard Wright Paul Kostial Ross Tarkington If you could add, change or bring one thing back to U.S. Nationals, what would it be? Why? The only thing I would change at U.S. Nationals is the division between halter and performance. There are so many people who care about halter but don’t have an opportunity to be part of it because they are showing in a different arena.

What is your earliest U.S. Nationals memory? I remember going to Louisville when I was a child and running up and down the long shoot before going into the arena.

What is the most important thing you would like your clients to know and understand during a show like U.S. Nationals? Every trainer is there doing the best job they can for their clients. No one is perfect and we all make mistakes, but we are doing everything we can to make sure they are successful.

Brian Murch Terry Holmes John Power That would be a solid, well-rounded panel.

ROGERS, MN

How do you feel social media has impacted our industry? It’s impacted the industry in sales and promotion. It hasn’t changed much for real horsemen or wannabes. We are an old-fashioned industry and it still takes years and wet saddle blankets. Nothing on the net has replaced hours in the barn or the saddle, or the wisdom of even one great, old horseman.

What venue do you feel is the ideal location for a horse show? Why? Horse shows should be in show grounds that are in a good part of town, a safe environment for people and horses. I don’t leave my horses much, but amateurs and owners want to see sights and go to nice restaurants. People will go to the National shows, but they should be both accommodating and safe.

Past or present, who would be your ideal judging panel? List three.

Judges should be fair and competent. If they are judging a particular division, I expect that they have ridden and shown horses in that division successfully. They need to have paid their dues to judge. I like judges who look for what they believe and score (whether high or low) with consistency.

If you could add, change or bring one thing back to U.S. Nationals, what would it be? Why? I don’t have any issues with the venue where our national show is being held currently. I very much like the fact that each of the major disciplines has its own ring. Dedicated pens are important to each group of riders and owners. It gives them a level of importance and a home base.

What is your earliest U.S. Nationals memory? It was great to meet and talk to famous Arabian Stock horse trainers when I was young, people I respected like Chuck Kibler, Don Ulmer, Jim Baker and Red Beyer. I read about them in magazines. In those days, you only saw them once a year.

We’d each bring a bucket of bits we weren’t using and swap.

What is the most important thing you would like your clients to know and understand during a show like U.S. Nationals? That there is going to be another one, just like it, next year!

TRAINER

JOSH QUINTUS

COLONIAL WOOD TRAINING CENTER

Years as a trainer… 10

PILOT POINT, TX

How do you feel social media has impacted our industry? Horses are able to be marketed and sold conveniently; successes are shared for a large audience to see. But I also think that the rise of social media has taken away from the importance of print. There isn’t that excitement of waiting for the magazines to arrive to see what horses were out there.

What venue do you feel is the ideal location for a horse show? Why? Is there an ideal location? Seems like everyone either has a complaint about footing, stabling, warm up, or arena size. If anyone finds the ideal horse show location, let me know and I’m there! The U.S. Open in Central Park is my favorite arena I’ve shown in though, so maybe we can work on that.

If you could add, change or bring one thing back to U.S. Nationals, what would it be? Why? We have to bring the spectators back; this is a very expensive hobby and people want to have fun and share it with their friends. Bringing in the community through outreach programs is great and events like the wine walk, Calcutta, and silent auctions, also give non-horse people something to do.

What is your earliest U.S. Nationals memory? The 2008 Half-Arabian English Pleasure Open work-off still gives me goosebumps. I can remember pushing my way to the rail to get as close as possible to those horses. The energy in the pavilion that night was absolutely incredible, and I told myself I would be showing in that class one day.

What is the most important thing you would like your clients to know and understand during a show like U.S. Nationals? Don’t take things too seriously, have a good time and enjoy yourselves. It’s just a horse show, right? This is supposed to be FUN! ;)

Years as a trainer… 40 How do you feel social media has impacted our industry? Social media has made our industry easier to connect with everyone. You don’t have to send VHS, a fax, or wait for someone to get back to you. We are able to connect with people who may or may not like to call you directly, but they have a way to get back to you via social media. It also gives us the ability to put sale horses, events, or whatever you are doing on social media so it is easily accessible to people.

What venue do you feel is the ideal location for a horse show? Why? I think Scottsdale in February has the corner of that market because they have everything: the time of year, weather (except for last year), things to do in the area for people not showing, and several rings going on at the same time for people involved in the horse show.

If you could add, change or bring one thing back to U.S. Nationals, what would it be? Why? I think that we have lost a sense of connection between the exhibitors and our organization. We need to bring that back together so that we have a venue that highlights our horses competing at a high level. We also need to bring the excitement back into our show where people want to actually stay and watch the horses being crowned national champion.

What is your earliest U.S. Nationals memory? The first time I showed and competed at U.S. Nationals was in 1980. I was in awe of the decorations on the stalls, the great big horse vans in the parking lot, and all the trainers and horses I had seen in the magazines for the past 3-4 years, but never in person. The whole thing in general, was just a big eyeopening experience for me.

What is the most important thing you would like your clients to know and understand during a show like U.S. Nationals? You have to remember it’s just a horse show, they will have another one next year.

How do you feel social media has impacted our industry? Social media has impacted the industry in a good way. It has exposed the working western horse to a lot of people we probably would have never met otherwise.

How do you feel social media has impacted our industry? I feel that there are both good and bad impacts to our industry. To me, some of the negatives are personal attacks on people that are posting about their horses and judgments of guilty until proven innocent. The positives are a much wider audience, as in the ability to connect instantly to others that are curious and have a shared interest in the horse. I also feel that it helps keep clients and trainers connected to a larger community of support.

What venue do you feel is the ideal location for a horse show? Why? I like a good arena, warm-up area and good stabling. Access is important, good footing, a decent size. The stabling needs to be suitable for the horses’ comfort. No horseman ever created a barn where horses stand in stalls on concrete. Also, a safe fairground in a safe part of town is also important.

Past or present, who would be your ideal judging panel? List three.

I like a judge that is really qualified. I hope for judges that have trained and shown horses in working western divisions extensively themselves.

If you could add, change or bring one thing back to U.S. Nationals, what would it be? Why? I’ve been showing at the U.S. National Arabian Championships for the past seven or eight years. I really don’t know what I may have missed. My first time in, I took a good horse top ten in reining for an Arabian customer. It was a good moment for me, and my experiences have just gotten better!

What is your earliest U.S. Nationals memory? I have only been at the U.S. Nationals for a few years. I am showing some great young horses this year and am back competing on EAF Hesa Little Whiz, 6-time National champion and reserve. My memories of the last half-dozen years are great!

Hope to say the same again this year!

What is the most important thing you would like your clients to know and understand during a show like U.S. Nationals? The legacy of Eleanor’s Arabians to me personally, is that—in Eleanor’s words—there will always be another horse show. If the horses are trained well, presented with care and skill, to honor the breeder, owner and horseman, that is the very best we can do. Everything else is icing on the cake.

What venue do you feel is the ideal location for a horse show? Why? Scottsdale. Location accessibility, shopping, restaurants, history of the Arabian horse in the desert, and the ability to host very large events.

Past or present, who would be your ideal judging panel? List three.

My ideal judging panel is someone who (and they all have to invest time and money to become a judge) is current, not only with the American traditions of showing, but the International experience as well. Someone who loves to stay current in all disciplines.

If you could add, change or bring one thing back to U.S. Nationals, what would it be? Why? I am very excited that the formal evening is coming back to U.S. Nationals this year. The change to the Friday evening schedule is an idea I presented to Leslie Doran Summer, Carrie Fritz, and Becky Nash last year at Nationals. I am grateful that they have taken this idea and brought it to fruition as only they can do. I am also grateful to the U.S. National Show Commission for taking this new idea into consideration for the betterment of the show and our breed.

What is your earliest U.S. Nationals memory? Working for Ray LaCroix in 1991 at LaCroix Ltd. That was the year he showed the stallion Kharben to a packed house; it was absolutely amazing!

What is the most important thing you would like your clients to know and understand during a show like U.S. Nationals?

1. I will do my very best.

2. This is my job, I love it, and I want only the best outcome for you!

Years as a trainer… Doug – 37 / Kristi – 13 How do you feel social media has impacted our industry? We feel social media has a been a great tool for our business. It promotes us, helps sell horses, helps find horses to buy, and keeps people connected. There can be a lot of drama on social media, buy we don’t participate in any of it.

Our goal is to keep it fun and light.

What venue do you feel is the ideal location for a horse show? Why? WestWorld in Scottsdale, AZ is our favorite location. It’s big, has tons of arenas, great shopping, it’s a safe and beautiful town with lots to do and see, and being from the Northwest, there’s no place we would rather be in February (except for this year. It felt like we were home in Oregon)!

Past or present, who would be your ideal judging panel? List three.

Ideally and in a perfect world, you would have a current and specialized judging panel for each discipline. A Horseman/woman who are the best at what they do, judging the discipline they excel in.

If you could add, change or bring one thing back to U.S. Nationals, what would it be? Why? We would love to see the Living Legends brought back to U.S. Nationals and presented on Finals Nights. Nothing was more memorable than Louisville 2006’s “One Last Time.” That show really went above and beyond to make it special and a show to remember.

Ar abian Horse Times | 76 | Volume 50, No. 4A A

U.S. NATIONA LS PROFILES What is your earliest U.S. Nationals memory? Doug: Working for Lervicks in 1991 and watching Cytosk go Reserve National Champion in English, Baskabella and Rich Doran, and Matoi.

Kristi: Seeing Hucklebey Berry, NDL Pericles, Ericca and MHR Nobility in real life in 1995.

What is the most important thing you would like your clients to know and understand during a show like U.S. Nationals? We think our customers know we will always go above and beyond to prepare their horses for any show. No one can put more pressure on us than ourselves.

We think that gives our customers confidence. And that it’s just another horse show, and to just ride their horse like they have all year.

Years as a trainer… 10 months. I gave up my amateur status last year after U.S. Nationals. Canadian Nationals was unreal! I earned a Unanimous Championship in Arabian Hunter Pleasure Open and a Championship in English Side Saddle.

How do you feel social media has impacted our industry? Social media has helped the industry so much, from selling horses to promoting your farm.

What venue do you feel is the ideal location for a horse show? Why? No doubt, Scottsdale is the best location for a horse show. The facility and town are great for trainers, clients and spectators.

If you could add, change or bring one thing back to U.S. Nationals, what would it be? Why? It would be so cool if they could bring back the Living Legends.

What is your earliest U.S. Nationals memory? My first time going to nationals was in 2013 and my first year showing with Doug and Kristi.

I was 15, and I remember walking into the show arena for the first time with the lights and the red banners, and it was the coolest thing ever!

And I think the same thing every year I go back.

# of horses competing at U.S. Nationals… 1 What are three things you are most excited for or love most about U.S. Nationals? Seeing all the beautiful horses compete; showing and spending time with my horse since I live in Canada and don’t see him regularly; and hanging out with friends in the Arabian horse community.

If you could relive one horse related moment, what would it be and why? In 2014, I won Reserve National Champion on my H/A English Horse in the AAOTR class. It was a great feeling to win on home turf !

What’s one asset that your trainer has that you feel sets them apart from others? Josh Quintus is calm, consistent and reassuring. This really helps his riders when they are training and getting ready for the show ring. But ... I must say ... he really has no sense of humor! ;) If someone approached you and was curious to know more about the Arabian horse, what would you say or do to encourage them to get involved? Start off by taking lessons or doing riding camps. Figure out if riding Arabian horses is something that you enjoy. Once that’s established, there are so many opportunities within the Arabian horse community that can be explored.

# of horses competing at U.S. Nationals… 4 What are three things you are most excited for or love most about U.S. Nationals? Spending time with my horses and my friends from all over the country, and celebrating the amazing Arabian horse.

If you could relive one horse related moment, what would it be and why? The birth of our stallion ASA Scandalous Affair, because the minute he came out, everyone knew what a special horse he was going to be.

What’s one asset that your trainer has that you feel sets them apart from others? My trainers, Dale Brown and Brooke Fuchs, have amazing patience! What sets them apart from others are that they are willing to work with the horse and rider no matter how long it takes to achieve whatever goal has been set.

If someone approached you and was curious to know more about the Arabian horse, what would you say or do to encourage them to get involved? I would explain to them that there is much more to the Arabian horse than just beauty. They are extremely intelligent creatures that bond and interact with humans more than any other breed.

What is something people would be surprised to know about you? I cannot think of anything; I am a pretty straight forward person and what you see is what you get.

# of horses competing at U.S. Nationals… one, Constantine LR.

What are three things you are most excited for or love most about U.S. Nationals? This will be my first time at U.S. Nationals, so I am definitely looking forward to showing in such an exciting arena! I’m also hoping to watch the AHPA Purebred Hunter and AEPA H/A English Futurities, as I’m sure they will be impressive and exciting classes!

What are three things you are most excited for or love most about U.S. Nationals? The level of competition is stellar (the horses are the best of the best); the support from fellow competitors and friends and the connection over our love for the Arabian horse; and spending time with my amazing Arabian (being in sync with each other at the highest level of competition).

If you could relive one horse related moment, what would it be and why? One of my all-time favorite moments was winning the H/A Country JOTR at Canadian Nationals in 2017. That was my horse’s first ever nationals, my first nationals with Doug and Kristi, and my first national championship! The pure joy I felt after years of hard work is something I will never forget!

What’s one asset that your trainer has that you feel sets them apart from others? One of the absolute best things about Kristi, Doug and Erin is how well-rounded a team they are! They always get the job done, and they do it well, because they each bring different strengths to their work. Plus, they put the care of the horses above all else and that is invaluable!

If someone approached you and was curious to know more about the Arabian horse, what would you say or do to encourage them to get involved? Discovering the Arabian horse as a kid was one of the best things that ever happened to me! I have learned so much from these horses and the people in this community, and they have truly contributed to the person that I am today. You just can’t go wrong choosing to be involved with Arabian horses!

What is something people would be surprised to know about you?

That I really like rap music.

If you could relive one horse related moment, what would it be and why? My first top ten on a purebred Western Arabian Maturity horse.

She was the epitome of the beauty and talent we love about these horses.

We lost her to founder at 6 years old. Still my favorite moment!

What’s one asset that your trainer has that you feel sets them apart from others? First of all, Josh’s talent at training the Arabian horse sets him apart and puts him among the elite. He’s from a family of Arabian breeders and is an encyclopedia of breeding stallions and mares from long ago up to current best.

If someone approached you and was curious to know more about the Arabian horse, what would you say or do to encourage them to get involved? Just walk through any barn and watch them come to the front of the stall to greet you. They are people horses. There are so many ways to be involved and showing is just one of them. I have a show Arabian and I have a retired horse that I do Yoga/Horsemanship clinics within the mountains.

What is something people would be surprised to know about you?

I have finished eight marathons and used to dance for a hip-hop dance team.

FARM A FFILIATION : RBC Show Horses # of horses competing at U.S. Nationals… one, the Versace son Ver-Rhettee.

What are three things you are most excited for or love most about U.S. Nationals? The excitement, the people you meet and new friends you make, and showing a horse that you have raised.

If you could relive one horse related moment, what would it be and why? When Rob and Carolyn told us that Ver-Rhettee was going to be a super western horse. In 2018, Carolyn and Ver-Rhettee did an outstanding job in the show ring. They were meant to be a team, they did not disappoint.

What’s one asset that your trainer has that you feel sets them apart from others? Carolyn is one of the best trainers; she loves Ver-Rhettee, which is one of the most important things I look for in a trainer—she believes in our horse.

If someone approached you and was curious to know more about the Arabian horse, what would you say or do to encourage them to get involved? I would tell them once you own an Arabian, that would be the horse of your choice—intelligent, beautiful, and wants to please.

# of horses competing at U.S. Nationals… 1 What are three things you are most excited for or love most about U.S. Nationals? The competition, hanging out with my horse show friends, and seeing the best horses the Arabian breed has to offer.

What’s one asset that your trainer has that you feel sets them apart from others? I feel that Caralyn’s greatest asset is her ability to teach and make me a better rider.

If someone approached you and was curious to know more about the Arabian horse, what would you say or do to encourage them to get involved? Experience the Arabian horse first-hand by coming to Nationals or Scottsdale. That will allow you to see the horses up close, talk to the owners and enjoy the excitement and experience that the Arabian horse brings.

What is something people would be surprised to know about you? I am allergic to horses.

What are three things you are most excited for or love most about U.S. Nationals? I am excited to be returning to the Nationals ring after a 13-year absence! There is nothing quite like the energy of that ring!

I’ll be seeing friends from across North America that I only get the chance to catch up with at U.S., and there is nothing like watching the classes ringside!

If you could relive one horse related moment, what would it be and why? I honestly can’t pick just one. I have been so blessed to have some amazing equine partners through the years and with each of them my favorite “moment” looks different. It’s always really special when you finally click as a pair and really start to work with and trust each other.

What’s one asset that your trainer has that you feel sets them apart from others? The honesty you get from Caralyn and Rob in the form of constructive feedback, during and after every ride, paired with their willingness to share their knowledge, individually and as a team, allows those who have the opportunity to learn from them to grow exponentially as a rider and a horseman.

If someone approached you and was curious to know more about the Arabian horse, what would you say or do to encourage them to get involved? I think it only takes a short amount of time around an Arabian to recognize their amazing personality. I love introducing people to the breed and watching their preconceived notions of a “hot, crazy animal” change to the realization of how smart, loyal, willing and sweet the breed can be.

What is something people would be surprised to know about you? I am a huge introvert! Give me a quiet room, a good book, and a cozy blanket to recharge, or just because ... any day.

# of horses competing at U.S. Nationals… 1 What are three things you are most excited for or love most about U.S. Nationals? I love catching up with my friends from around the country; I get to see my horse (who is in Texas and I am in Connecticut) and she changes so much in the time I don’t see her; and watching classes with all the quality horses.

If you could relive one horse related moment, what would it be and why? I wish I could relive the H/A Yearling Filly class at Canadian Nationals last year. My filly was reserve champion and I was so nervous, I think I held my breath through the whole thing. Then for her victory photo, she was afraid of the cardboard check, so I did not get a ‘win shot.”

What’s one asset that your trainer has that you feel sets them apart from others? Just one? I really like the supportive, family run environment at Krohn Show Horses. Did I mention I live in Connecticut and KSH is in Texas? The fact that I’m willing to travel that far to show and visit my horses says a lot!

If someone approached you and was curious to know more about the Arabian horse, what would you say or do to encourage them to get involved? I would invite them to my farm and introduce them to the six horses I have at home. My horses range in age from 3 months to 28 years old. While visiting, I would encourage questions and share stories about the horses.

What is something people would be surprised to know about you? I’m addicted to watching cooking shows that feature Gordon Ramsay. I love how direct he is, he doesn’t take nonsense from anyone! It’s a nice change compared to the corporate work environment where you can’t say what you really feel.

What are three things you are most excited for or love most about U.S. Nationals? I grew up showing Arabian horses, and in our community have made lifelong friendships. U.S. Nationals is my favorite show, because I get to spend time with everyone—the atmosphere is indescribable. I also love getting to watch the most incredibly talented and beautiful horses show.

What are three things you are most excited for or love most about U.S. Nationals? The people at USN and being surrounded by others who share the same love for the Arabian horse; the moment you walk into the arena on the first day and see people practicing and being in awe; and I look forward to pushing myself outside of my comfort zone, getting nervous and going for it!

If you could relive one horse related moment, what would it be and why? I’ve been riding since I was little; moments at the barn are just as special to me as the moments in the show ring. I wish I could relive Saturday mornings in the barn with my dad when I was little. My nickname was “the wart” because I just wanted to be with him. Those barn days are my favorite moments.

If you could relive one horse related moment, what would it be and why? Tough question. I think it would have to be the moment when I was 8 years old and my parents bought me a horse. Looking back, it was that moment that probably shaped much of my life.

What’s one asset that your trainer has that you feel sets them apart from others? Grant Krohn is a talented horseman, trainer, and just a genuinely good man (and I don’t just say that because we are related).

What sets him apart from others is his ability to connect with his clients and help each one of them (and their horses) achieve the goals they have for themselves.

If someone approached you and was curious to know more about the Arabian horse, what would you say or do to encourage them to get involved? I would share with them how special and unique the breed is, and how much it has done for me personally. I would encourage them to visit a farm, take a riding lesson (because once they do, they will want to do more). This sport is family-oriented and provides something to people of all ages.

What is something people would be surprised to know about you?

I don’t like scary movies; like not all ... not even a little!

What’s one asset that your trainer has that you feel sets them apart from others? One of my favorite qualities about Doug, Kristi and Erin is that even when they have time off, they still choose to spend it doing something horse related. Their love for horses drives them to work hard and to always try new things to make the horse and amateur better.

If someone approached you and was curious to know more about the Arabian horse, what would you say or do to encourage them to get involved? After dragging them to meet my horses, I would figure out what they were interested in. One of the best parts about the Arabian horse is their versatility. Go to a horse show, a clinic, an organized trail ride, or check out your local horse rescue.

What is something people would be surprised to know about you? As a kid, I only rode western and when I got back into showing horses four years ago, that’s all I had ever planned to do. Turns out, I’m much better suited for the forward of the hunters and the excitement of country.

What are three things you are most excited for or love most about U.S. Nationals? I’ve always felt it’s a privilege to be able to compete at the national level with my horses; it’s an exciting show! I’ve met a lot of wonderful people all around the country and only get to visit with some of them at nationals. I do feel that in my divisions, there is a comradery there.

If you could relive one horse related moment, what would it be and why? My first Canadian National win on ROL Fire Lily. I purchased her as a 2-year-old and had not ridden English until my 50’s. I’m still amazed with her, since she just won English at Canadian Nationals at age 13. I’m still pinching myself to make sure my “dream” is real.

What’s one asset that your trainer has that you feel sets them apart from others? PATIENCE. Since I didn’t start riding English until later in life, balance, seat and hands are always being worked on. He is always trying to explain with different examples. Thank goodness he has the patience to repeat again and again.

If someone approached you and was curious to know more about the Arabian horse, what would you say or do to encourage them to get involved? I would first take them to the barn and introduce them to my horses. Most people don’t really understand Arabians and think they are wild and crazy. The horses would sell themselves since they love people and are like big dogs with loving and kind personalities.

Plus, their beauty.

MLM ARABIANS # of horses competing at U.S. Nationals… 3 What are three things you are most excited for or love most about U.S. Nationals? The camaraderie, the quality of the competition, and the opportunity to exhibit horses I love.

If you could relive one horse related moment, what would it be and why? The feeling of sitting on my very own pony for the first time.

The excitement of the realization of a dream of that magnitude was life altering for me.

What’s one asset that your trainer has that you feel sets them apart from others? Center ring in an amateur-centric program that builds unparalleled bonds between horses and riders that extend beyond the show ring. Josh Quintus (Colonial Wood) is unique in that he treats each horse as an individual and modifies his approach to help the horse meet its greatest show ring potential.

If someone approached you and was curious to know more about the Arabian horse, what would you say or do to encourage them to get involved? I would tell them that the Arabian horse is the most empathetic and emotive breed of horse and that the relationships they build with their humans are unrivaled by any other breed of horse.

The Arabian community is welcoming and there is a way to be involved no matter what your budget may be.

What is something people would be surprised to know about you?

My passion for horses began with polo ponies and my introduction to Arabians was 10 years after I had gotten my first pony.

If you could relive one horse related moment, what would it be and why? When my horse, Medal Bey, was named Canadian National Champion in Western Pleasure Junior Horse. I was fairly new to showing at the national level and although I totally enjoyed that moment, I would love to relive it knowing what I know now about how hard it really is to win at that level. I would love to savor that moment again.

If you could relive one horse related moment, what would it be and why? My first horse show and now looking back, knowing I knew so little and now know how much I need and want to learn. It never stops ... learning and growing in this sport that I love.

What’s one asset that your trainer has that you feel sets them apart from others? Josh Quintus is a wonderful horseman with remarkable attention to detail and can make a small change that enhances the horse’s performance. But what I think sets him apart is how important it is to him for his clients to enjoy themselves and their horses and have good comradery.

If someone approached you and was curious to know more about the Arabian horse, what would you say or do to encourage them to get involved? I ride my horses at home around warmbloods, Thoroughbreds and Quarter Horses. I think they have seen how athletic and good minded they can be. Arabians are so personable, and I love to share that with others.

What are you are most excited for or love most about U.S. Nationals?

The horses, old and new friends, the challenge and excitement, and the opportunity to grow the love of the horse to all learning about them.

What’s one asset that your trainer has that you feel sets them apart from others? Jim Lowe keeps learning and improving and knows it’s all about sharing that knowledge. He is willing to help. He wants to win, of course, but he wants to learn from others. The great part about him is he will do the same for others. He puts that EGO away except when he hits the arena.

If someone approached you and was curious to know more about the Arabian horse, what would you say or do to encourage them to get involved? Horses heal ... they have saved my life more than once.

What is something people would be surprised to know about you?

I just became an ordained minister and will perform weddings at my Zsa Zsa Gabor house at SCEC. I also have my big white Half-Arabian, Phi Beta Kappah pulling a white carriage with the bride to the wedding ceremony. It should be so much fun and a life changing event.

Marriage anyone?

Their dedication to every client to fulfill their dreams.

What is something people would be surprised to know about you?

My very first Arabian was the 2-year-old Half-Arabian palomino mare, Arabi’s Golden Image, bought back in the early 1970’s when I was just 16. I showed in 4-H and Oregon Arabian shows in halter, English pleasure, western pleasure, equitation, versatility and costume. It was the beginning of the rest of my life with Arabians.

What are three things you are most excited for or love most about U.S. Nationals? Showing at U.S. is about the opportunity to bring my best horses to compete against the best horses in the industry. Even with all the preparation and polish, it’s a competition that also requires good timing and a touch of good luck! A great ride means most to me! Roses and garlands are just a bonus!

If you could relive one horse related moment, what would it be and why? Two moments: the 2018 Canadian Nationals was huge for my daughter, Chyanne, bringing home two championships and one reserve, and 2019, again at Canadian Nationals, brought repeat wins for Chyanne, as well as her sister, Taylor. Taylor took three horses in three divisions in five classes and brought home five championships! An amazing experience for all!

What’s one asset that your trainer has that you feel sets them apart from others? Rick’s attention to detail and desire to keep his horses finished and happy is a gift. He has made my girls and I much better riders, a job that requires patience! He believes practice makes perfect, and he always makes himself available for lessons to achieve that goal.

Gordon is a master at knowing the abilities of myself and my horse and has my horse ready for me each time I fly into a show. Being so far away from him, I can’t ride that horse too often, but he sure is polished and ready any time I’m there!

Ar abian Horse Times | 111 | Volume 50, No. 4A A

If someone approached you and was curious to know more about the Arabian horse, what would you say or do to encourage them to get involved? I would encourage them to see how versatile the Arabian horse is, and how inclusive they can become in one’s life. I would suggest they visit our farm to see how we enjoy our retired Arabians on trails, and I would take them into our mare’s pasture to meet the beautiful foals we get to enjoy daily.

What is something people would be surprised to know about you?

There is nothing I look forward to more than trail riding on South Mountain, which is 20 minutes from our farm. It is the most relaxed I ever am, and I take every opportunity to trail ride often. My love of trail riding is shared with my children, husband and mother. Family time is most important!

# of horses competing at U.S. Nationals… 3 What are three things you are most excited for or love most about U.S. Nationals? It’s so great to reconnect with familiar folks and make new friends; my horses seem to “come to the party” and make me proud to ride them; and I just feel so lucky to be able to do this!

What’s one asset that your trainer has that you feel sets them apart from others? My trainer, Kristi Stewart, can totally read my mind. The good trainers are tuned in to their horses’ moods, but not everyone can read their riders the way she does. Often, she knows me better than I know myself !

In addition to that, I am most excited to see old friends, as well as meeting new ones.

If you could relive one horse related moment, what would it be and why? Hunt Seat Equitation Medal class at Syracuse, back in 2003. The pattern called for the rider to enter without stirrups at a posting trot, and my gelding, Profit AA, had other plans and decided to go bucking and squealing into the ring. We finished the pattern and somehow took 1st in the class.

If someone approached you and was curious to know more about the Arabian horse, what would you say or do to encourage them to get involved? I would encourage them to attend any of our horse shows.

Not only to watch the show, but walk through the barns, ask questions, meet the people. Learn about the ‘horse show family’ and how it is much more than competition but camaraderie, and having fun and enjoying these magical creatures.

What is something people would be surprised to know about you?

Years as a breeder… Aljassimya Farm has a total of nine years breeding Arabian horses, seven of which are based at 100 Oaks Ranch LLC in California.

How many foals do you produce a year? On average, we do between 50-60 foals a year. This year the number was higher as we took some extra benefits from some leased stallions before they returned home.

When you first started breeding, what were your goals? How have they evolved over the years? Until now, our focus was to breed our own solid, well-conformed band of broodmares with quality pedigrees. We created families of them. Now that they are established, the focus will be more towards details, consistency of produce and our own noticeable look.

In your opinion, what are some motivating factors that incentivize breeders? What are some things that can be discouraging? We feel strongly about amateur classes and making sure there is access for all levels of horsemanship. Versatility is one of the trademarks of the Arabian horse and an absolute must to celebrate and enhance.

BART VAN BUGGENHOUT ALJASSIMYA FARM SANTA YNEZ, CA

Who would you consider your most prized broodmare and/or stallion?

And what can you always count on them to consistently produce? We now own a group of WH Justice daughters that are really proving their worth now. For the future, we feel strongly about the upcoming Al Ayal AA daughters. The leading broodmares are RP Miss Surprise and Om El Aisha Aljassimya, plus, WN Antigua, Redwood Lodge Saffiqa and Toscana PGA. What was your first big break as a breeder? Breeding Ghazwan Aljassimya, our third baby from our first foal crop, became special after he won World Champion in Paris the following year. Since then, we have been several times more blessed, but that first one remains special.

Where do you see your breeding program 10 years from now? Hopefully, our vision in breeding comes together and we can create a higher consistency of well-bred typey and athletic Arabian horses.

What advice would you give someone looking to breed for the first time? Travel, see, learn. Learn from others’ mistakes or success. Don’t try to invent the wheel, that’s done already. Stick to what you love and be true to style and type.

ELEANOR HAMILTON

How many foals do you produce a year? Usually around 6-8.

When you first started breeding, what were your goals? How have they evolved over the years? We wanted to have a versatile breeding program focusing on performance horses.

In your opinion, what are some motivating factors that incentivize breeders? What are some things that can be discouraging? The AWPA, AEPA, and AHPA programs are genius! It is nice as a breeder to be able to win back some money when horses you have bred win prizes.

Discouraging is all the negativity on social media about our industry.

That is enough to depress anyone who reads it .... especially breeders.

Who would you consider your most prized broodmare and/or stallion?

And what can you always count on them to consistently produce?

Melody V (purebred) for our Half-Arabians, our Saddlebred mare, Styling Time, who is now unfortunately deceased. Both had incredible foals that put us on the map.

What was your first big break as a breeder? It was around 2004-2005 when a couple of horses we bred started winning at Nationals and getting our name out as breeders. Our first “big sale” was the Half-Arabian Western horse Slow Gin Fizz. He went on to win numerous national championships and we enjoyed cheering him on!

Where do you see your breeding program 10 years from now?

Hopefully, still going at a steady pace and continuing to produce quality instead of quantity.

What advice would you give someone looking to breed for the first time? Make sure you get the best mares you can to breed.

ELEANOR’S ARABIANS ROGERS, MN

Years as a breeder… 34 How many foals do you produce a year? 10 to 14.

When you first started breeding, what were your goals? How have they evolved over the years? When I began breeding, I was looking for horses that I could ride and possibly show in working western and western pleasure. Now, I am trying to breed great working western horses for show and diverse ranch work for all ages. My expectations have risen considerably since those days.

In your opinion, what are some motivating factors that incentivize breeders? What are some things that can be discouraging? New people are attracted by affordable prices and sound, trained, good-natured horses.

They want to go where they can show affordably against other green riders at shows and have fun. They want a warm welcome from show staff and other farms. What’s discouraging? … the opposite of all the above!

Who would you consider your most prized broodmare and/or stallion?

And what can you always count on them to consistently produce?

Artymusme (*Muscat x Artystka, by Banat) is my most prized broodmare.

She’s the dam of six national winners. The stallion would be my “horse of a lifetime,” Hesa Zee+/, sire of 23 national champions and reserves. Both horses produce heart, grit, lots of ‘try’ plus a desire to get ‘er done!

What was your first big break as a breeder? The arrival of Crown Musc+ at the farm was pivotal. A son of multi-National Champion *Muscat and out of a daughter of National Champion Jewel Drift, he was my

Ar abian Horse Times | 135 | Volume 50, No. 4A A

first top show horse. He sired 14 national winners and 28 Class A champions and reserves. He set the “bar” at Eleanor’s Arabians!

Where do you see your breeding program 10 years from now? That’s just it … I hope that I’m still here seeing it in ten years! Having said that, we are always growing and improving our bloodstock; always looking for the next great

stallion or future great broodmare. We won’t ever stop trying for better horses. It ain’t over ‘til it’s over!

What advice would you give someone looking to breed for the first time? I would ask what kind of horse they want and what will they do with it? Then I would suggest they study the horses and bloodlines.

Early on I went to Shinder’s News Stand in Minneapolis, bought horse magazines and studied them. Then I visited horse farms and asked questions! Anyone can do that!

Years as a breeder… 12 foal crops How many foals do you produce a year? Less than five per year.

When you first started breeding, what were your goals? How have they evolved over the years? To produce horses that inspired me and that were capable, national caliber athletes. My core goals have not evolved over time, but my preferences in horses has evolved with experience and exposure.

In your opinion, what are some motivating factors that incentivize breeders? What are some things that can be discouraging? As a small breeder, it is easy to be discouraged by the quantity of foals large breeders produce to promote their programs. But it is most encouraging to see other small breeders have success on an international scale amongst a sea of large programs. It reinforces that small breeders can have big results

MORGAN MOORE VALLEY VIEW, TX

Who would you consider your most prized broodmare and/or stallion?

And what can you always count on them to consistently produce? We are a small program, so all of the horses hold significance to stay with us and contribute. However, BHF Shahs Lullaby is the mare that lead us (as breeders) to U.S. Nationals this year. She is a national champion producer who consistently delivers exceptional length of neck, balance and substance.

What was your first big break as a breeder? Our 2015 foal crop established us as capable breeders of national-quality horses. From four foals, we sold one to the Middle East (who has shown there) and the three that have remained here have all been national winners. Collectively, the 4-year-olds have claimed five national championships/reserves and four national top tens in multiple divisions.

Where do you see your breeding program 10 years from now? Our goal is to continue to refine our core bloodstock to deliver consistently beautiful athletes capable of winning on the national and international levels in halter, performance and working divisions.

What advice would you give someone looking to breed for the first time?

Breed small. Breed the best that you can afford. Focus on finding the best possible mare to take to the stallion that complements her and don’t compromise on your vision by rushing to get the foals on the ground.

DR. NANCY O’REILLY SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA EQUESTRIAN CENTER

Years as a breeder… Since 1965.

How many foals do you produce a year? 2-3 personally.

How many foals do you produce a year? There are two breeding programs on our farm, the Linigers/Maroon Fire and mine and Marty’s Shea Stables. This year we had 24 foals between both breeding programs.

For next year we have 31 mares in foal, between Maroon Fire and Shea Stables.

When you first started breeding, what were your goals? How have they evolved over the years? Breed the next generation of amazing Arabian show horses. I am more determined to breed quality, not quantity.

When you first started breeding, what were your goals? How have they evolved over the years? Our goals were to produce an extremely athlete horse while maintaining Arabian type and correct conformation.

In your opinion, what are some motivating factors that incentivize breeders? What are some things that can be discouraging? Seeing the quality of horses out there is discouraging. Too much breeding without knowing the impact to the breed.

The thing that we’ve worked on, and I think we are doing successfully, is when we first started, we were using the bloodlines of *Bask and Huckleberry Bey. When we added IXL Noble Express, we brought in a horse with more talent and a stronger rear end to breed to our Afire Bey V daughters. Now, we have Inception, sired by IXL Noble Express, who has accomplished those goals. Inception is the 4th generation of Maroon Fire breeding. Although his foals are still very young, they look exceptional.

SOMIS, CA

Years as a breeder… 5

Who would you consider your most prized broodmare and/or stallion?

And what can you always count on them to consistently produce? I am new. Life Inthe Fazt Lane (by Vegaz) is by far my greatest breeding stallion. Mares, I am still working on that area. The Mamage (Affliction’s sire) and Vegaz cross should be amazing.

What was your first big break as a breeder? Marilyn Monroe AHW, a 3-year-old with a beautiful blonde tail. She’s a trooper. She went to her first show last weekend and loved it!

Where do you see your breeding program 10 years from now? That’s a good question. I am a work in progress.

What advice would you give someone looking to breed for the first time? Breed quality animals that will be in the shows for a long time. Be responsible for improving the breed.

Also, breeding horses that want to work and enjoy their work is extremely important. Horses that have a great neck, extreme shoulders and withers, and a strong flexy rear end have the physical attributes to get the job done.

In your opinion, what are some motivating factors that incentivize breeders? What are some things that can be discouraging? I think the motivating factor for most breeders is the goal of producing a dream horse; the horse that checks all the boxes. Every spring when foals are born, it’s like a new chance at life. It ups the optimism because you have a new beginning. If you’ve been doing things correctly, your generations are improving.

Ar abian Horse Times | 137 | Volume 50, No. 4A A

Who would you consider your most prized broodmare and/or stallion? And what can you always count on them to consistently produce? Bonita Afire, sired by Afire Bey V and out of a Barbary daughter who is out of an Eter daughter. She is the dam of Inception and several other very high-end individuals.

Afire Bey V was purchased by the Linigers as a 4-year-old from his breeder Sheila Varian. He was a once-in-a-lifetime breeding horse, proving his worth as the #1 sire for 20 straight years. Also, the stallion, IXL Noble Express, was just the right cross for the Afire Bey V daughters. Our young stallion Inception being a tremendous example of that cross.

SUZANN VINCE

INIZIARE ARABIANS SCOTTSDALE, AZ

Years as a breeder… 31

How many foals do you produce a year? 1-2

When you first started breeding, what were your goals? How have they evolved over the years? To produce foals with type, large eyes, beautiful jibbahs and great hips with natural tail carriage, but definitely to produce foals with athleticism and tractability. Good legs have always been a musthave when purchasing weanlings and ultimately when selecting a sire to breed to when those weanlings mature and can produce the quality I strive for.

In your opinion, what are some motivating factors that incentivize breeders? What are some things that can be discouraging? Knowing that every foal we produce is something we believe in wholeheartedly.

We hold in our hands a huge responsibility to not overbreed. We are ALL

What was your first big break as a breeder? Our connection to Sheila Varian. She started sending us horses for training, Afire Bey V being one of them. Then we sold him to the Linigers for Sheila and that was the beginning of our reationship with the Linigers, who have been with us for 31 years now. The Linigers have given us every opportunity to succeed.

Where do you see your breeding program 10 years from now?

Right now, we are actively looking for an outcross sire.

What advice would you give someone looking to breed for the first time? I would say, buy one well-bred mare of the very best you can afford. Then, breed her to a proven stallion of the type that will complement her and the type of horse that you want to produce.

searching for that perfect horse and can all learn from each other what has worked on a consistent basis to improve our own breeding programs.

We owe NOTHING LESS to our horses.

The things that can be discouraging to breeders? Believing with every fiber of our being that we own horses that will breed on their genotype and phenotype, and a lack of newly excited individuals and especially families who are showing interest in joining the amazing world of owning an Arabian. We need to engage in conversation with new faces at horse shows.

Who would you consider your most prized broodmare and/or stallion?

And what can you always count on them to consistently produce?

The first filly that I produced, Petrovkka (*Muscat x *Pavlinka), broke the mold. I picked out and purchased her dam *Pavlinka at the age of 7 weeks. My current mare collection I am counting on to produce the same qualities that were and are so important to me 39 years later.

What was your first big break as a breeder? Being introduced to The Kale family who singlehandedly started the Russian importation in the mid 1970’s, by Dr. Dee Whittlesey in 1978, when I had a *Bask gelding in training with Spike Barter for me to show. Had it not been for these chains of events, I would not be where I am today. My gratitude to them cannot be measured.

Where do you see your breeding program 10 years from now? I initially thought when I came back full force in 2014 that everything was going to be different from what I was drawn to. I quickly realized that the attributes I had started with had not changed one iota. The Arabian breed has evolved for the good into what we are currently seeing and the industry is in a very good place—the quality just keeps raising the bar.

What advice would you give someone looking to breed for the first time? The same advice my mentors instilled in me: do not follow the fads; do not rely more than 40% on the advice of others; do your OWN studying of pedigrees and go back five or six generations to see what created what you are currently looking at to breed to. The mare contributes at least 75% of the foal, so start out with the best conformationally you can possibly afford.

T

he opinions expressed in this printed article were opinions that were extracted as the most consistent topics, new ideas, and progressive solution options. With that said, a summary of this kind is not comprehensive and bears a certain amount of subjectivity on behalf of the summarizer (me). Because of this, I profoundly encourage all Arabian horse enthusiasts to not only read this printed story in full, but also the entire interviews online to extract your own first-hand perspective. I present these perspectives as they were presented to me and are devoid of personal opinion.

AHT STATE OF THE BREED

A Conversation With Small Breeders (Part III of VI) RON ARMSTRONG

TRACY & BILL BUGLASS

Newaygo, MI

Deerfield, WI

Armstrong Arabians How long have you been breeding Arabian horses? 20 years.

As breeders of primary halter, how do you see the halter market shaping, both now and in the next f ive years? And what are your thoughts on how it compares to the performance market, if any? The market right now is very challenging. Both in the U.S. and overseas, we have experienced a difficult selling environment. As always, the very special ones will consistently sell. It seems as if the middle market–the market that small breeders depend on–is the one that has dried up the most. The middle market, comprised of sales between $15,000-$20,000 to $50,000-$75,000, is almost completely gone.

And I’m including national top ten prospects in this category of “middle market” as well.

Pointing your young horses to the performance market doesn’t pencil out much differently in the end either. Most don’t sell for more than what it cost us to get them to that point. After you pay a commission of 10%-20%, as my accountant says, this is not a successful strategy to succeed or even survive.

How have you seen the industry change over the last f ive-ten years? We can’t act surprised by what we are seeing; the numbers of horses bred and registered has continued in a free fall for almost 20 years. I believe our Associations are also at fault. You can’t keep doing things exactly the same way during these kinds of declines and expect different results. I believe we have needed a complete reorganization at the national level for over 10 years. We need to look at some drastic changes if we want to recover from this. Solutions are available, though painful for many for a few years.

But it is time that we actually have leaders that will make the difficult decisions. Pride cometh before the fall, and the fall is coming very soon if we don’t react.

At this very moment, how committed are you to staying in the business for at least the next 5 years? 10 years? We have been in business for 20 years.

Started in our mid 30’s and now are in our mid 50’s. Times change, and we have been cutting back due to market conditions, as many have. We will always keep a core group or our 3rd and 4th generations of Arabians, as well as some of our foundation horses will live out their lives in pastures, but if things don’t change soon, we will be forced to cut way back on future breeding.

As a small breeder, what is your perceived role in this business? Laura and I have been involved at a club level as delegates and board members. I was president of the West Michigan Arabian Horse Association for 12 years.

This club runs one of the most successful shows in Michigan. I worked with AHA as a Regional delegate. I served on committees and assisted with Convention. I am currently a Board member for the AHBA Arabian World Cup show held in Las Vegas in April. I will continue to help any way I can, to make the Arabian horse industry better for future generations!

Windy Gap Arabians

How long have you been breeding Arabian horses? About 20 years.

How have you seen the industry change over the last f ive years? It keeps getting more expensive, while the market continues to shrink. The cost of training and showing just keeps rising. I understand that trainers need to make a living for the services they offer; we need them. But in the last few years, training barns seem fuller than ever… at least the ones I personally know, and that is probably a dozen or so.

In your mind, what are the greatest obstacles to the growth and health of the Arabian horse industry that we are currently facing? Can you please speak to examples of how they have personally affected you? Again, the rising cost of everything: trainers fees, show fees, AHA fees. We need to find more effective ways to make large numbers of people aware of Arabian horses.

Make it easier for them. Perhaps create more leasing opportunities so people can try it before they buy it. Lease them well-trained horses for short periods of time, maybe two or three months. Let them go to a show or two.

If they like it, they can continue to lease or purchase the horse outright.

When you ask someone to buy a horse, why would they want to jump in right away with both feet? I wouldn’t.

Can you give me some examples or stories of what keeps you going in this business even in the current climate? Obviously, we love the horses. The babies that come along are always a joy. And the challenge of creating your vision of the Arabian horse is something that keeps us going. Probably the next most important thing are the people we meet and the friends we make along the way.

At this very moment, how committed are you to staying in the business for the next f ive years? 10 years? Very likely, for the next five years. After that, at my age, a lot of it is going to depend on health to a large extent. We do everything ourselves here at the farm: maintenance, foaling, horse care, cleaning. At some point we will not be physically able to do it all ourselves, and then will be forced to pay for additional help. When that happens, we probably will call it quits because we couldn’t afford it.

What do you believe could reach the current technology-driven, agriculturallydetached, increasingly urbanized generation of young people for the Arabian horse? Clinics, seminars and hands-on experiences are all good. And individual farms can certainly do this, but it probably will need to be a collective effort to make a solid enough dent in bringing people in.

MARTHA RATTNER Rattner Bloodstock Georgetown, KY

Rather than answering questions, respected horsewoman and breeder Martha Rattner opted to submit a collection of thoughts, insights and ideas.A few years ago, I realized that I could give back to the breed by breeding again, and I also saw a strong market in the performance breeding. But if I couldn’t make it a business, I couldn’t do it. That’s why I am focusing on performance breeding.

Regarding qualifications: I started listening to the local shows about points and qualifying. All that show had to do was put the class list up, and the points started to accumulate. Rather than showing because you enjoyed competing with your horse or participating in that event, the all-consuming motivation transitioned to

accumulating points instead. But we all drank the Kool-Aid and went to qualify. In doing so, we lost a lot of that magic that lures people in.

The focus needs to be on the event, not the ribbons; Socializing with friends, not obsessing over qualifying. I don’t know how you fix that, but we have to address this whole reason for competing. Forcing people to show more (via the points system) because there is less of us now is not a good idea.

Twenty-five years ago, I never wanted to miss a horse show. Being with people, watching them ride, cheering them on, making memories with our horses… those are the things we’ve lost.

We have to be cognizant of what other breeds and events people are getting interested in. One great example is ranch riding. A client of mine had a back injury and couldn’t competitively ride. I taught his gelding how to do trail. He took lessons and got involved. In less than 12 months, he’s purchased two more horses and Ar abian Horse Times | 166 | Volume 50, No. 4A A

At this very moment, how committed are you to staying in the business for at least the next f ive years? Ten years? I’m committed for the next year with three foals arriving, but I’m wavering for the next five years. It’s not reasonable to breed a bunch of expensive horses I can’t sell.

What can the industry do to make you feel more supported as a small breeder? Hire lobbyists who are effective in changing the equine tax code.

Hell, I’d throw some money at that. AHA isn’t equipped to make that happen; that’s not their training nor their job, but they need to direct funds at the source of the problem.

At this very moment, how committed are you to staying in the business for at least the next 5 years? 10 years? Forever, no matter what?

I wish I could. I have a property that allows for more horses, and I have good mares to breed.

But I have to be able to sell them to support my program. I really didn’t expect it to be th is difficult since they are exceptional young horses and I only breed one at a time, so am therefore, not flooding the market. But the market is dimming those dreams of mine for future breeding.

not for him to show! One is for me to develop and one is for his wife to show. He’s involved, engaged, dedicated, signed up for AA points.

He’s committed because he found something that engaged him, and that commitment is increasing. The English Trail group has been bigger than western the last two years at U.S. Nationals. The more hands-on divisions, the better. It’s what people want.

I would also like to see a restructure of the focus inside AHA. For example, endurance is the signature sport of Arabians but AHA isn’t the governing body. In fact, it’s hardly even involved.

You can’t help but scratch your head because it is a very big sport around the world, yet AHA is hardly even involved. Endurance focuses on things that are important to our current society (nature, land conservation, fitness, health, etc.) and our horse is the only one that can do it! Why are we not more involved?

AHT STATE OF THE BREED A FEW MORE RANDOM THOUGHTS: • It should be a rule that at any AHA-sponsored show–from U.S. Nationals down to the smallest shows–must announce the breeder on every entry. Some do it, but not all.

• Kudos to AHA because of the explosion of the working western division. They gave it its place, they gave it attention and a good facility, and it’s thriving. Same with trail.

PAUL & NIKOLE R EESE

Victoria Cross Farm Gladwin, MI

How long have you been breeding Arabian horses? Over 20 years.

How have you seen the industry change over the last 10 years and f ive years? From our perspective, the industry has become more divisive over the past 10 years, with each division (sport horse, halter, performance, etc.) becoming more fixed in their ways and unwilling to unify under a declining market and crippled industry.

Ten years ago, a good filly or colt could be sold for a profit. Five years ago, the colt market took a nosedive and many geldings became “giveaways.” Today, the filly and mare market has almost followed suit. Good mares with solid pedigrees used to be easy to sell. Today, a surplus of good mares exists with not enough homes to put them in.

Socially, our industry is very exclusive in nature.

There is no welcoming team at our shows, no new member videos to watch, no history for newcomers to engage in, and no method of strategic outreach implemented. We’ve become a bit of a snobby, rich club that doesn’t have time for the everyday horse enthusiasts, especially ones with small piggy banks. We’ve tailored our programs to the wealthy, and now the wealthy are the only ones left in the breed.

In your mind, what are the greatest obstacles to the growth and health of the Arabian horse industry we are currently facing? Vision, unity and strategic planning. These are very broad concepts which require a leader (preferably within AHA) to cast a vision for the future.

We need a leader to put forth a message of unity and develop a strategic plan that would

People are into working out and going to gyms (“Strong is the new Skinny”) vs. an at-home gym because there is an effort involved that is motivating. Riding horses uses muscles that no other machine works. What if we sponsored an “equisizer,” like spinning, that uses those riding muscles to play to the fitness-conscious society?

help move this breed and industry into a more vibrant, healthy existence.

One of the biggest obstacles to growth is stubbornness and selfishness. In Michigan, a young trainer worked his way onto the board of a club. He humbly took on one of the stagnant shows in Michigan and turned that show around and filled the stands with people.

Hundreds of people came out for a family fun experience like had not been seen at this show in years. Everyone was encouraged, everyone was somewhat amazed at the quick success which came with a youthful perspective with no personal agenda. The older members on the board felt this young trainer was taking too many liberties and in essence, blocked his efforts. The young trainer got discouraged and joined another club within the state. This same show has now returned to its lower numbers and sparse stands.

In Michigan alone, we have three to four clubs. We should have one, but most of the board members are from another generation, holding onto their power instead of combining and working together. The next generation is few and far between in this industry, and we can’t afford to push them out with stubborn adherence to old ways of thinking if we hope to keep this breed alive. Part of progress is learning to effectively pass on the reins to the next generation.

What do you feel are our greatest opportunities to the growth and health of the Arabian horse industry in our current society?

PEOPLE. We have some amazing people in this industry, but as the previous account demonstrates, we don’t use them to their fullest capacity or turn them loose in areas of their expertise. We have people in social media, web design, and site analytics who could take AHA and this breed to the top of any Google search.

We have people with the skillsets to produce the highest quality commercials and

Ar abian Horse Times | 167 | Volume 50, No. 4A A

ad campaigns any breed could imagine. We have business-minded individuals who know how to strategically plan and grow a business; and yet, to our knowledge, we don’t utilize them.

A CLEAN SLATE. As an educator, I (Paul) constantly push my students to forget about past mistakes. When they focus on the past, they become distracted in the present and misjudge their futures. One of our greatest opportunities as an industry is that we’ve never been this “low” before. We have a chance to wipe the slate clean, pick ourselves up, and try again. This starts with a healthy vision communicated by a connected leadership in order to produce a unified membership for the production of a hopeful future.

What things have made you discouraged as a breeder? An obvious discouragement is the slow market and the toll it takes on your finances.

I’m a teacher and my wife works in finance.

Our part-time breeding program takes tens of thousands of dollars out of our bank account annually. If you can’t sell your product, your losses are substantial.

Another discouragement is the lack of transparency among leadership. Decisions are made without gaining the general opinions of breeders. Program changes are made abruptly right before shows that impact horses’ values and saleability. Relationships are built on trust and consistent communication.

Can you give me some specif ic examples or stories of what keeps you going in this business even in the current climate? No. This will be our last major breeding year until the industry starts to turn around. We will always breed horses, but we need a break from the workload and repeated discouragement that comes with our current climate.

What will keep us owning and loving Arabian horses? That’s probably the better question. We will continue to breed Arabians on a smaller scale because we’re in love with Arabian horses.

Coming Full Circle

by THERESA CARDAMONE

Family Family Foun F ound dation ations Need high res

Before establishing Krohn Show Horses in Lindale, Texas, Grant Krohn grew up immersed in the Arabian horse business. His father, Blake Krohn, has been a successful trainer and breeder for over 40 years. Grant’s mother, Genna, an expert horsewoman, is from an Arabian horse background as well; her grandfather was one of the founders of the International Arabian Horse Association.

Grant’s brother, Jason Krohn, is now well established with his own training business, Oak Haven Farms.

It was on the family farm that Grant’s passion for horses was born. “I grew up on this farm and have loved horses since I was really little,” he explains. “My dad has been a horse trainer for a very long time. I worked for him and for my brother. My mom’s parents were in the Arabian horses too, so I’m a third-generation Arabian horse trainer.”

While in high school, Grant “took a little break” from horses, opting to focus on sports.

But that detour didn’t last long.

Ar abian Horse Times | 185 | Volume 50, No. 4A A

Blake and Genna Krohn

Rob Bick, Caralyn Schroter and Grant Krohn

Transitions T ransitions “I woke up one day and thought, ‘I’ve got something that I love to do sitting right here,’” he recalls. “That’s when I really started to chase it a little harder. I transitioned from working here on this farm to other places where I could learn more before coming back and starting my own training operation.”

Grant absorbed every bit of technique and wisdom that he could during a six-month internship with Andy Sellman in Wisconsin. “I got to watch Andy school every horse in the barn as part of my job,” says Grant. “I’m grateful I was able to spend time watching and learning, developing my trade. I’ve always had a passion for the Arabian horse, but being able to follow up on that, move away from home, and do something I love was incredible.”

Once high school was in the rear-view mirror, Grant took a position in North Carolina with Rob Bick and Caralyn Schroter at RBC Show Horses. “I worked for them for about five years and loved every minute of it,” he smiles. “I moved out there when I was 18, fresh out of school. My parents have always been a huge part of my life, and Rob and Caralyn filled that role in NC. They were role models in a way that really shaped my life. Rob was a second father to me.”

Rob Bick is effusive in his agreement, “We treated him like family, he was like family, and he still is.” Rob avers, “It’s always great to see him and see him doing well. It comes to him pretty naturally, I think. There’s a work ethic, a natural talent and ability, and a great background from his parents that all combine to put a person like Grant Ar abian Horse Times | 186 | Volume 50, No. 4A A

out there. The Arabian breed needs more like him. We have a gap with trainers that are in their 50’s and 60’s and not a lot in between.

We need more talented kids to come into this breed. I wish there were more of them.”

Rob and Caralyn gave Grant the opportunity to learn a wide variety of riding disciplines to complement his halter skills. “It was a great move for Grant to come and work with us,” Rob states. “It was smart thing to go to a different farm to learn new techniques for his toolbox. We were thrilled to have him because everybody needs help like that! Grant was one of the best employees you could ever have: super-nice, and good with people and horses. You don’t find quality help like that all the time. I think that it was beneficial for us and for him.”

Edens Fantasy, 2017 Canadian National Champion Mare shown by Grant, owned by Silver Stag Arabians LLC.

Rob recognized Grant’s halter talents right away and gave him the responsibility of showing the halter string. Back on the farm, Grant got a diverse education in performance training. “When I worked for Rob, I showed mostly halter even though at the farm I worked every horse, every discipline. They are great at western, hunter, English, driving; they’re good at all of it. And I learned all of it. Honestly, I thought when I moved home to Texas that I was going to keep that up. But, of all the disciplines, saddle seat is my number one favorite and halter is number two. Which is great because my dad breeds so many great saddle seat horses!”

Grant with Vincent PCF++/, 2015 U.S. National Champion Senior Gelding, for owners Jeanne and Robert Black.

Grant has fulfilled his dream in coming full circle to establish Krohn Show Horses back on his parent’s farm. “Now that I’m home, I work hand-in-hand with my dad and my mom just about every day. My dad and I spend a lot of time talking about horses; he is 100% the guy that I lean on.

He’s the person that, if I think something is not going right, I’ll have him come down and watch me work that horse. We’ll talk through a couple of scenarios and discuss if we need to change the way we’re working the horse or how it’s shod, or if the horse needs vet work. He has the years of experience that I don’t. I’ve been doing this all of my life, but not to the level that he has. Having my dad be the person I can rely on the most, and spending so much time with him, is great.”

Grant was pleasantly surprised when a number of East Coast owner/breeders elected to send their horses to him in Texas. “When I worked for RBC, nobody brought their horses to the farm for me specifically. Everything came for Rob and Caralyn; I was their assistant. As soon as I was out Ar abian Horse Times | 187 | Volume 50, No. 4A A

from under their wings and spread my own, it was amazing to see that people recognized the work I had put in on the East Coast and were willing to send horses to me. Obviously, we have a lot of clients from Texas as well.”

With the U.S. Nationals on the horizon, Grant is grateful for the outstanding horses he will show. “I think we’re taking 10 horses to Nationals, including some that are as nice as any horses I’ve ever shown,” Grant enthuses. “Having such a good string for me to take to my second Nationals on my own since I started Krohn Show Horses, and to have that many good ones going, is awesome.”

long as he’s been training them. To him, this is the best horse he’s ever bred. He’s just a beautiful animal and super athletic.

It’s a horse we are all proud of. He’s had a handful of babies that are really high quality as well. Having a horse like Patrriot, at my age, is incredible.”

Regardless of the results in Tulsa, Grant is grateful for the support Krohn Show Horses is receiving. “Any trainer is only as good as the horses he has,” he states. “We have great clients and great horses, and I am honored that people have chosen me and entrusted me with their amazing animals.” ■

Among those to compete in Tulsa is Patrriot (Rrapture x Showthyme WCA), a stallion bred by Blake Krohn. A 5-yearold, he went Reserve Champion in Junior English Pleasure at Scottsdale. Since then, he has been moved to the country division and will show in Country English Pleasure Junior Horse at the U.S. Nationals. “That’s a really important horse for our farm,” says Grant. “My dad’s been breeding horses as

COVER STORY:

REGION 10’S CONWAY ARABIANS: A TRADITION OF GIVING BACK TO THE ARABIAN HORSE

by Catherine Cole Ferandelli

Lori Conway is celebrating over a decade as President of the Minnesota Arabian Horse Association (MAHA), the largest club in Region 10, and the Conways are tireless givers of their time, experience and forward-thinking wisdom.

Lori and husband, Peter, are the proud owners of Conway Arabians, the 2018 APAHA Breeder of the Year. Along with daughters Rachel and resident trainer Anna, Conway Arabians is truly a family affair. They consistently produce, promote, and show champion Arabian horses in most of the disciplines featured at many

shows. But at a regional level, Conway Arabians only shows at Region 10.

“Region 10 is consistently an incredibly competitive regional competition,” Lori says. “The facility and show committee are awesome.

The numbers were down due to a roof collapse and damage to the facility over the prior winter; but the Region 10 show definitely had quality competition.”

One of Conway Arabians’ formidable entries was their gleaming black/ bay Western Pleasure Junior Horse stallion, Cool River Kid. Shown by trainer Jennifer Schmitt, “River” has won three of the four classes he has been entered in. Born on the Fourth of July, 2015, Cool River Kid already has several 2019 weanlings on the ground with multiple Conway and outside mares bred for the 2020 foaling season. Cool River Kid will be one to watch in the 2019 U.S. Nationals AWPA class!

The Unanimous U.S. National Champion, Scottsdale and Buckeye

REGION 10 | 2 | Ar abian Horse Times

Park Horse and 2018 APAHA Saddle Seat Horse of the Year winner, Coltrane, is Conway’s other young stallion, making his mark with trainer Joel Kiesner. Coltrane’s foals are already in high demand and his very first foal crop will be making their debut in the 2020 shows.

Lori happily reports, “We purchased Coltrane as a two-year-old with high hopes for him to become a top breeding horse for our program and a competitive Saddle Seat horse. His conformation, fancy movement and glorious black coat make him an eye stopping show horse.

Coltrane has exceeded all our expectations and is now an integral part of Conway Arabians’, as well as several other prominent breeders’ programs.”

Conway Arabians is a veritable “horse heaven” surrounded by 400 acres, much of which is pasture land for the carefully selected broodmare band and the raising of their offspring.

“Region 10 made a pact some time ago to not allow double judge horse shows within our Region. By doing so, each club has been able to have a successful horse show and remain viable. We cover a large geographical area serving nearly 1,000 members in 12 clubs in Minnesota, Wisconsin and eastern South Dakota with a wide variety of interests. Something that is unique to Region 10 is the “Arabians Unplugged show circuit,” which provides an outlet for Arabian horse owners to have a place to compete without all the expense and regulations that the rated shows require, and still have the opportunity to have fun showing.”

It is this energy, effort and good will, that makes Peter and Lori Conway industry leaders for the Arabian horse as a whole and throughout Region 10. n

“All of our horses are raised outside in a group environment,” Lori elaborates. “This allows them to develop their minds and bodies as horses should. They are free to gallop up and down hills, building strong bones and tendons. The varied terrain teaches them to balance and use themselves naturally to their best advantage. We generally start our youngsters when they are three years old, giving them time to socialize and grow up together before they start living in the barn.”

With the 155th Conway Arabians foal born in 2019, one would imagine Lori and Peter to have more than enough tasks to fill their days, but the Conways mission to promote the Arabian horse breed is yet another admirable effort they choose to do. Among many undertakings, Peter is deeply involved as the AEPA President and AHA Board Member. Lori’s energies are focused on other AHA obligations as well, such as AHA-ESRE Committee Chair, APAHA Treasurer, judging many AHA/USEF rated shows, and lending assistance to 4-H, FFA and AHA youth judging endeavors.

Lori recognizes that Region 10 has “many hardworking movers and shakers that are very involved in many committees and facets of promoting the Arabian breed locally and on a national level.” Elaborating further, Lori shares,

PETER & LORI CONWAY CONWAY ARABIANS CHATFIELD, MN

YEARS IN THE INDUSTRY: 33 What is your involvement in the Arabian horse breed?

We breed, raise, train and compete with Arabians & Half-Arabians in the saddle seat, hunter and western pleasure divisions at all levels.

Peter - AHA BOD, Breeders Sweepstakes, AEPA Lori - MAHA President, APAHA Treasurer, AHA - ESRE Chair What do you feel Region 10 does really well?

Region 10 is loaded with dedicated and very involved people, in all facets of the Arabian breed. Years ago, Region 10 made a pact to not allow double judged shows. That decision has provided each club the opportunity to have their own unique show, tailored to be fun and successful.

What was the best moment of the Region 10 show this year for you?

Conway Arabians had a VERY successful show! When CA is announced as the breeder of a horse being awarded a ribbon, it is a “feel good” moment. Fortunately, we bred many of the champions and personally, we won a lot of very competitive classes, so there were lots of “best moments” of the horse show.

Region 10’s Youth and Amateur following is very strong. What do you think attributes to that?

There are a lot of wonderful facilities which have top notch trainers and instructors in our region. It also helps that many of the training barns have a strong youth and adult lesson program, which keeps the Arabian market vibrant. The amateur owner, trained and shown group have fun together too!

What kind of events are you involved with or happen in your area to promote the Arabian horse to new people?

CA does a lot of outreach. We hold events at the farm, help with the judging teams, support 4-H, and our doors are always open to the public year-round. We are very involved in the MN AHA club and the two shows that they put on, as well as the Minnesota Arabian Horse Breeders show and auction.

What do you think can be done to encourage small breeders to breed more?

Make it affordable. To help get people involved, we offered some of our great mares to be leased, as well as stallion breedings, for a nominal cost. Several people took us up on this offer and will be having their first foal(s) next year. What better way to get someone started in owning an Arabian?

REGION 10 | 4 | Ar abian Horse Times

JODY STRAND STRAND’S ARABIAN STABLES TODDVILLE, IA

YEARS IN THE INDUSTRY: Since youth What is your involvement in the Arabian horse breed?

I am a breeder, trainer and owner of Strand’s Arabian Stables, and a level one judge.

What do you feel Region 10 does really well?

With the warm-up pens added, the Region 10 Championship is a very easy place to show, very exhibitor friendly, and a very nice arena to show in. It runs smoothly and is very accommodating. They throw a great exhibitor party and generally grow every year.

One thing the region does very well is having fewer shows than some other regions, so the shows that they do have are larger and the numbers are better.

What was the best moment of the Region 10 show this year for you?

There wasn’t just one moment. Everyone had good rides and a good time. It was a successful show.

Region 10’s Youth and Amateur following is very strong. What do you think attributes to that?

I think the region has a lot of very strong lesson programs that are getting people started. They are very youth friendly, having a lot of barns that are willing to take youth beginners.

What kind of events are you involved with or happen in your area to promote the Arabian horse to new people?

I do training clinics which helps keep people involved.

We also do farm tours to horse colleges, where they come out and spend a day riding, learning about the Arabian industry and seeing our farm. JDRF ( Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation) is a high priority to us personally, so we work with them to auction off a ‘Derby Party’ at our facility every year, which allows us to bring awareness of the Arabian horse to a community of people who may or may not know anything about horses at all!

I think they provide a great, well-run show that is very strong in our amateur and youth divisions. They also do a great job fundraising and providing opportunities for the outside community.

What was the best moment of the Region 10 show this year for you?

We had one of our best Region 10 shows ever. We had great results due to hard work, great clients, incredible staff and amazing horses.

Region 10’s Youth and Amateur following is very strong. What do you think attributes to that?

There are a lot of great lesson programs in our area that bring newcomers in. Our lead line class and stick horse classes were huge which is great for our future!

What kind of events are you involved with or happen in your area to promote the Arabian horse to new people?

I like to do clinics and show at some of our local open shows, showing people what great horses our Arabians are. We have a very strong Arabians Unplugged circuit.

I enjoy going to the open shows and offering help to those that don’t have the resources or like to do their own thing.

What do you feel Region 10 does really well?

Region 10 does a great job of getting youth involved through activities throughout the show. They provide a very organized and well-run show. Kudos to Chuck Rickart who does a great job getting classes into the arena promptly.

What was the best moment of the Region 10 show this year for you?

There were so many great moments from this year’s show.

I’m most proud of our clients and horses accomplishing their goals and succeeding.

Region 10’s Youth and Amateur following is very strong. What do you think attributes to that?

Region 10 has great Class A shows throughout the year, which gets people excited about the regional show. Region 10 has a lot of great barns in the area that provide lesson programs and opportunities for newcomers.

What kind of events are you involved with or happen in your area to promote the Arabian horse to new people?

One of my favorite things to do when not working is trail ride. I think it is great for the show horses to do something different and people are amazed to see how well the Arabian show horses are on the rides.

YEARS IN THE INDUSTRY: 35 What is your involvement in the Arabian horse breed?

Jeff & Roxanne: We compete as professional trainers at the National level, host youth judging team education at our family owned farm, and almost everything in-between. We have served on AHA committees and acted as delegates at the Annual AHA Convention.

Jerry: I am involved in all aspects. My days are filled with caring for the horses and keeping my friendships strong with those I show with.

What do you feel Region 10 does really well?

Jeff & Roxanne: Region 10 works extremely hard to be accommodating to every discipline and all walks of Arabian life. At every turn, you witness passionate Arabian enthusiasts that give of their time and knowledge while possessing the core belief that the Arabian horse is good for a person’s soul.

It’s a great place.

Jerry: Region 10 is a wonderful place to show. It is a nice time of the year in Minnesota and the show arena (or coliseum, as it is better known) is great! Region 10 has some top breeders, so it’s a show that has some of the best young prospects attending.

What was the best moment of the Region 10 show this year for you?

Jeff & Roxanne: The special string of purebred halter horses that we were afforded the opportunity to show won numerous regional titles. Additionally, Roxanne rode two beautiful purebred junior horses to a regional championship each.

The Region 10 judges have historically rewarding, outstanding performances.

Jerry: My highlight was my daughter riding! The thrill was that she had a beautiful ride, but the win did not hurt!

Region 10’s Youth and Amateur following is very strong.

What do you think attributes to that?

Jeff & Roxanne: Our Region 10 is packed with true horsemen and horsewomen, both professionals and amateurs, that devote such energy to our breed. We believe that this enthusiasm fuels a love and hunger for knowledge and opportunity. The numerous training centers and breeders in our area makes it a successful region.

Jerry: Region 10 has great competition, so the youth and amateurs have fun showing their horses. The farms of region 10 promote good sportsmanship and the exhibitors create friendships at the horse events.

What kind of events are you involved with or happen in your area to promote the Arabian horse to new people?

Jeff & Roxanne: Shada has hosted a number of open houses, parties and gatherings over the years to introduce the Arabian horse to new people. As far as we are concerned, our door is always open. Recently, we were delighted to be chosen as one of the sites for the Arabian Registry Commission’s Annual meeting place.

Jerry: Farm tours. Word of mouth is the best way to educate new people about the Arabian horse and a direct hands-on approach.

What do you think can be done to encourage small breeders to breed more?

The cost of collection and shipping from the farms that stallions are at get way out of hand. The actual breeding itself needs to stay under control as well.

YEARS IN THE INDUSTRY: 40 What is your involvement in the Arabian horse breed?

I was lucky enough to grow up in a family that bred high quality Arabians. I am very proud to continue with my parents’ bloodlines eight generations later. I have ridden and trained all those generations except for the most recent, a weanling colt by Inception, who is obviously still too young.

What do you feel Region 10 does really well?

I was involved on the Region 10 Board of Delegates for many years. I felt it was a remarkable group of people because it really succeeded in acting as a region by looking out for the whole group’s interest and mission. There were no Wisconsin versus Minnesota club battles.

What was the best moment of the Region 10 show this year for you?

The best moment of any Region 10 show is always sitting in the amazing, historic old Horse Barn on the Minnesota State Fairgrounds and remembering all of the great people and fun times that have passed through my life in that building, back to when I was a teenager. The stories that barn could tell!

Region 10’s Youth and Amateur following is very strong. What do you think attributes to that?

The trainers in Region 10 have modernized their businesses with bigger and better lesson programs and enhanced focus on serving the Amateur and Youth riders.

Additionally, there are several barns and groups of do it yourself amateurs who enjoy stabling together and helping each other.

What kind of events are you involved with or happen in your area to promote the Arabian horse to new people?

I have a big lesson program and I also do outreach through occasional Open Barns. In truth, I reach out to promote horsemanship first and foremost, because most new people really are not breed conscious. They are just horse curious! Then they buy an Arabian when they’ve gained some skills.

What do you think can be done to encourage small breeders to breed more?

Create more competent users and owners for our horses through lesson programs. It’s the only way, really. Breeders need a market. To have a market, you have to have people who have enough knowledge to want to be owners.

What do you feel Region 10 does really well?

Region 10 does a great job of giving back! The Wounded Warrior fundraiser was just one of the many examples.

Region 10’s Youth and Amateur following is very strong. What do you think attributes to that?

A contributing factor to our strong youth and amateur classes, is the fact that our qualifying shows have really catered to them. In May, there is even a show specifically for youth and select riders. Convenience and the ability to qualify for regionals really brings the numbers up.

What was the best moment of the Region 10 show this year for you?

Winning the championship in the Half-Arabian Western Pleasure Jr. Horse on DB Moondance. This mare was bought to be a family horse, but soon proved to have so much talent and try. It’s fun to win on a horse that gives 100 percent!

What do you think can be done to encourage small breeders to breed more?

Everything is so expensive! I realize that everything costs money, but it does feel like AHA has found a way to nickel and dime everything. I really hope we can find a way to make it a little more affordable for breeders and owners.

REGION 10 | 21 | Ar abian Horse Times

by COLLEEN SCOTT It’s an all female cast behind Cedar Ridge Arabians, Jordan, Minn., an icon in the Arabian industry for 50 years. With Lollie and Lara now at the helm, and three talented young women running the training, showing and lesson program, the team is a force to be reckoned with–both at home and in the show ring.

Specializing in the English divisions, which have historically been more male- than femaledominated, this three-woman team consists of: Head Trainer Laura Rodel, Assistant Trainer Erin Belton, and Lesson Director Stephanie Davisson.

AHT takes a look at how this trio is making inroads in an ever evolving industry.

e Rig t Start The Ames family’s love of beautiful and athletic horses has provided the base for a more than fourdecade old breeding program. Using some of the most well-known and sought-after sires and dams, the horses coming into the training barn already have the lineage to be successful.

That’s when Erin Belton comes in–to build upon that foundation. The newest member of the Cedar Ridge staff, Erin started in January and specializes in working with the two- and three-year-olds.

“What we really try to be sure of is that we handle and start them in such a way that they’ll be very amateur-friendly in the future,” she says.

Riding since she was four years old, Erin grew up with Saddlebreds, making the switch to Arabians when she was 17. Prior to coming to Cedar Ridge, she was an assistant trainer at Stachowski Farms.

“What I really like about Cedar Ridge and our training and showing program is that everyone is very supportive,” she says. “We have a great group of people and that draws even more people.”

Client Deb Schmelz echoes that. She and her daughter, Eliana, 12, both ride. “Our experience has been positive. We are impressed with the overall management of the barn, training, grooms and operations. But one of the things we appreciate about our trainers is their ability to communicate, willingness to listen and help us overcome obstacles,” says Deb.

Once the young horses have a good base, Head Trainer Laura Rodel takes the reins to finish them for the show ring.

Part of the Cedar Ridge team for four years, Laura began riding when she was nine, and got her first Arabian when she was 15. “At the time, we did everything with one horse, so Booqinn was my all-around horse,” she recalls. “After I got him, I fell in love with Arabians.”

At 16, Laura got hooked on riding in the English divisions and started focusing her efforts on honing those skills. Besides riding, Laura participated in youth judging contests for seven years, traveling to U.S. Nationals and Scottsdale to judge. “My last year at U.S. Nationals, we were second. We never could quite win it,” she says of her Minnesota-based team.

With her riding, showing and youth judging experience as a base, Laura has a well-rounded view of what success should look like in the show ring and has been able to use that experience to achieve great local, regional and national results not only with the Cedar Ridge owned horses, but also with client horses.

She and Stephanie recently returned from Youth Nationals where their team of eight competitors brought home multiple titles.

“The best part of this job is watching the horses become the best they can be,” she says. “And what’s even better is watching them go on to do that with their riders or new owners.”

Of the 42 horses in the training barn, about half are client horses and half Cedar Ridge-owned horses. “We seem to be bringing in more and more clients all the time,” she says. “And that’s really exciting.”

Laura attributes some of her success to the great trainers Cedar Ridge has brought in over the years to help her. “I have learned so much from other people in this industry and I am grateful for the opportunity to be part of such a wonderful team of people.”

Part of her success is having the keen eye and talent of Erin.

“We both work with almost all of the horses,” she says. “I’ll take a group for a couple of weeks, she’ll take a group for a couple of weeks, and then we’ll switch. Having both of us work them helps us stay well-rounded and gives us the opportunity to solve training challenges together.”

Starting New Riders Besides starting young horses successfully and showing them successfully, the Cedar Ridge team is committed to bringing

REGION 10 | 24 | Ar abian Horse Times

new people into the industry, a vision that starts at the top with the unwavering and significant support of the Ames family.

Through the Cedar Ridge lesson program, new people are introduced to the breed all the time, with many of them going on to show and become horse owners.

Under the leadership of Lesson Director Stephanie Davisson, the number of people taking lessons has grown exponentially since her arrival at Cedar Ridge six years ago.

“There was a lesson program in place, but I knew I wanted to make it bigger,” she says. Now, with more than 60 lessons a week, she has accomplished just that.

Stephanie’s roots in the industry go back to when she was just 3, practically a toddler. “My grandmother had a hobby farm, and my mom was a national champion back in the 1980s, so I was surrounded with Arabians from a very young age,” she says.

At 12, she started helping get lesson horses ready, and at 15 she started giving lessons.

When it came time for college, Stephanie enrolled in an International Studies program. “That lasted about six months,” she laughingly recalls. “Then I transferred to the University of Kentucky and switched to Equine Studies.”

The day after graduation, Stephanie landed a job with Mike Lamb Show Horses and worked under his leadership for four years.

Since her start in the industry, Stephanie has noticed a gradual shift in what is sometimes perceived as a male-dominated industry. “I feel like it’s definitely becoming more open to women and we’re seeing some new people rise to the top,” she says. “But it can be a difficult industry to break through. As younger women, we just need to be very confident and positive about what we are doing as it feels like we may be watched more than others are.”

Indeed, if people are watching the Cedar Ridge dynamic trio, it’s to learn how to be young, successful, talented women in the industry. With plenty of show ring accolades, highly competitive amateurs and a platform for growing the industry, they have set a very high bar. ■

The 2019 Region 10 Championships Quality And Camaraderie

by Laura Morton

2019 Region 10 Judges, Kelly Elm, B. Mark Owens and Deb Witty, with our esteemed Armed Forces.

A

s it is with all serious competitors, the overall quality of a regional level show is of the utmost importance. This year’s Region 10 Championship Show, held June 12-16 in Minneapolis, Minnesota, provides that quality every horseman/woman, competitor and spectator appreciates and strives to be part of. Show Committee member Laura Mickelson expresses, “The quality of competition this year was amazing.

The western and hunter classes had a fair number of entries with many classes having 10 or more. The amateur classes were especially deep with multiple national winners.” She went on to compliment the youth division, “I was especially pleased with the size of the walk/trot and lead line classes; each of which had more than 10 entries! The lead line class held a variety of future, strong competitors as they represented multiple disciplines, including native costume and side-saddle.”

REGION 10 | 30 | Ar abian Horse Times

The passionate spirit of Region 10 shined through its competitors, with their engaging, positive attitudes and their expressions of pride as they entered and exited the show ring, regardless of the ribbon they received. The impressive camaraderie and admirable support given by spectators and competitors alike was the highlight of the show. When leaving the show ring, competitors were eager to take pictures with their horse, fellow competitors and friends; a truly touching moment to witness!

Along with the quality of competition, the facilities are top notch, especially the arena, which did not disappoint. All levels and disciplines can agree that the footing and size of a show ring is super important to maintain the health, quality and comfortability of horse, rider and handler, and exhibitors to the Lee & Rose Warner Coliseum were reassured that the quality and amount of soil (dirt, footing) met the standards and requirements that all show rings should be subjected to. Not only is Warner’s footing superior, it is large enough to hold a multiple horse class and is one of the most fun and exciting places to show in the country. With long, straight rails, deep corners, and a huge seating section, one feels like a super star when trotting up the tunnel into a brightly lit arena with cheering heard all around!

Philanthropy, camaraderie, passion and fun … these were the themes of this year’s Region 10, and four words describing the amazing fundraisers and events that were held surrounding the All Glory Project’s “Campaign of Consciousness.” On Friday night, all attendees of the show were invited to an “All-American Evening,” sponsored by Equine Athlete Veterinary Services. People enjoyed BBQ, BBQ music, dancing, and a “hot” duo called 2 On Point, who put on an impressive performance of fire eating! The main performer, Brett “the Axe” possesses a natural aptitude for handling fire, so much so he earned the title of the Fastest Fire Eater in the World in the 2017 Guinness Book of World Records.

Amongst a community of individuals who are already so supportive of one another, the stream of consciousness flowing throughout the Region 10 community of those so willing to give back was priceless. In conjunction with Horses For Humanity, Arabians Salute Our Heroes sponsors raised an impressive $24,100 to benefit the All Glory Project’s therapeutic riding programs for veterans. From $20 Memorial Stars which could be purchased to add the name of a veteran, to numerous Red, White and Blue Sponsors, many were eager to support our heroes.

In addition, three veterans from Freedom Farm Therapeutic Riding Center were recognized Saturday evening. Jonelle Wilson, Dave Teigen and Terry Bremen, as well as a Freedom Academy high school student, Savannah Salir, were all presented with the “Salute our Heroes” yellow garland. All were truly overwhelmed by the recognition and donations, especially the surprise of 500 pounds of horse feed to Freedom Farm. Thank you all!

Another emotional moment was the Arabian Pleasure Driving Open class on Saturday morning. Dedicated to Dick Ames, a Memorial Fund was created celebrating his passionate and giving heart. “The best way to honor such a man,” Mickelson shared, “was to provide funds every year to reward people who show horses in Arabian Country Pleasure Driving and Reining, disciplines close to his heart.” The winner of the class was photographed next to a flattering, framed picture of the legend himself. “Fiery” would describe Dick’s extraordinary personality, and his presence was truly missed by all this year.

Those who attend the Region 10 Championship Show are a welcoming community of passionate and competitive horsemen and women. It is all-encompassing and eager for you to join next year! n REGION 10 | 31 | Ar abian Horse Times

ELEANOR HAMILTON ELEANOR’S ARABIANS ROGERS, MN

YEARS IN THE INDUSTRY: 34 What is your involvement in the Arabian horse breed?

I have been an owner, breeder and exhibitor of Arabian and Half-Arabian horses for over 30 years.

What do you feel Region 10 does really well?

There is family involvement in Region 10. Much of the American history of the Arabian horse began in Region 10 and 11. These are the home states of Albert Harris, Daniel Gainey and the Kellogg family. Today, the family tradition continues with many multi-generational farms that breed horses and compete together.

What was the best moment of the Region 10 show this year for you?

Eleanor’s Arabians had a wonderful Region 10 this year.

EAF Hesa Enterprise was third in the H/A Reining, EAF Hesa Comet won the PB Reining Jr. Horse (both horses ridden by Rod Matthiesen), Hesa Artfull Zee won the PB Reining with Gary Ferguson and Madison Rose and her brother Justin were Champion and Reserve in both the Showmanship At Halter JTH and the Western Horsemanship JTR with Sheza Melody Jac and Hesa Sweet Dreams (Madison winning Halter and Justin winning the riding class).

Region 10’s Youth and Amateur following is very strong. What do you think attributes to that?

Family involvement, as well as large and tight-knit statewide relationships among breeders and exhibitors.

What kind of events are you involved with or happen in your area to promote the Arabian horse to new people?

The Working Western Celebration show September 12-15, 2019 in Madison, Wisconsin is a multi-breed show that includes Reining, Cow Horse, Cutting, Roping and Ranch Horse with events sanctioned by numerous breed groups including the AHA. It’s advertised all over the Midwest and attracts a crowd.

What do you think can be done to encourage small breeders to breed more?

New buyers are attracted by affordable prices and sound, trained horses, as well as affordable shows where they are welcome, can have fun and can compete comfortably.

People want well trained horses suitable for kids, trainers and even old ladies like me! Small breeders appear, breed and thrive where there is a market for their horses.

STEPHANIE DAVISSON FARM AFFILIATION: CEDAR RIDGE ARABIANS JORDAN, MN

YEARS IN THE INDUSTRY: 27 What is your involvement in the Arabian horse breed?

I am the lesson program director and Assistant Farm Manager of Cedar Ridge Arabians.

What do you feel Region 10 does really well?

Region 10 promotes a spirit of healthy and fun competition, as well as camaraderie. The barns all work together well to promote the greater good of the Arabian breed, such as this year’s fundraiser, earning over $24,000. It’s a fun environment with great people and horses.

What was the best moment of the Region 10 show this year for you?

Seeing how well CRA functions as a team. Even with 19 of our 21 horses showing in the same session and up to five in a class, there was never a hiccup or panic; no stress or tension. It was fun to see the hard work come together and be rewarded as well.

What kind of events are you involved with or happen in your area to promote the Arabian horse to new people?

CRA offers an open barn to the public yearly. This year’s celebration of 50 wonderful years in business will be huge! Along with that, we run an Arabian lesson program and support the local academy classes, starting from the bottom up!

What do you think can be done to encourage small breeders to breed more?

Answering on behalf of Cedar Ridge Arabians, we need to continue to implement the money programs that benefit breeders. Sweepstakes and MAHB are two great examples of why small breeders would want to continue. It is also important to recognize breeders when announcing winners in classes.

Region 10’s Youth and Amateur following is very strong. What do you think attributes to that?

The great atmosphere at the Region 10 show helps promote Youth and Amateur attendance. It is a fun show to be at and the quality is good. It’s easy for riders and their families to want to come and spend the week at the show and compete.

INIZIARE ARABIANS

New Beginnings HONOR ING A F A MILY ’S JOUR NE Y L I V ING & LOVING AR ABIAN HORSES

BY CAT HERINE COL E F ER A NDEL L I

Suzann with Bella Duchessa GA (JJ Bellagio x Duchess Of Marwan).

An ingrained allegiance spanning four decades of Arabian horse breeding and ownership has Suzann Vince carving a new equine path and a new name—Iniziare Arabians. Dedicated to the Sicilian heritage of Suzann’s father, Guy Vince, Iniziare is the Italian word for ‘new beginnings.’

This is Suzann’s au courant passage to loving, breeding and showing purebred Arabian bloodstock.

Ar abian Horse Times | 254 | Volume 50, No. 4A A

INIZIARE ARABIANS

H Bella Bellezza H (Da Vinci FM x *Sashaa LHT)

uzann’s Arabian horse journey has endured through joy, pain and family loss.

It survived at a low ember more than eight years while she was completely out of the Arabian horse world. But embers erupted into flames when Suzann visited the 2013 Scottsdale show.

Says Suzann, “After I lost my dear father in 2005 and my mother in 2008, I ceased all showing and breeding stock in 2006, and then sold the family farm, Twin Creek Arabians, in 2012, which was located just outside Dallas. Our family and the Arabian horses were so interwoven, I was certain the magic couldn’t be recreated. But Scottsdale 2013 brought back all of those enchanting emotions, front and center. I realized that I just had been on a hiatus from what has been my passion since 1975, when I showed a *Bask (Witraz x Balalajka, by Amurath Sahib) gelding in English pleasure under the tutelage of the highly respected Spike Barter. I knew I wanted to get back into Arabian horses again, knowing that the industry was completely different from when I left it. So, in

2014, I came back into the Arabian horse world to buy, armed with the invaluable knowledge I’d been fortunate enough to glean from watching and listening to the best in the business. My insatiable curiosity about current pedigrees and having a natural eye (I cannot explain this) for seeing the future of a weanling Arabian foal was still with me.” A learner through instinct, listening and observation, Suzann admits, “I think some of that natural eye came from the mentoring I received from Dr. Kale, Sr. and especially from Howie Kale, Jr. They both taught me that good or bad conformation was there from birth and certain things can be predicted from the start.”

Suzann’s horse shopping launch began in 2014. “Despite being away from Arabian horses for eight years, my instincts and invaluable mentoring knowledge kicked in after one minute of viewing a video of then weanling H Bella Bellezza H (Da Vinci FM x *Sashaa LHT). I just knew she was the one! I knew very little about El Nabila B at that time, the sire of Bella Bellezza’s dam, *Sashaa LHT, but what I did know is that she was beyond beautiful

Ar abian Horse Times | 255 | Volume 50, No. 4A A

and she had the attitude the Arabian horse is known for. She had that pure ‘look at me world’ SPARKLE!” The first pillar of the Iniziare Arabians foundation, H Bella Bellezza H, is now 5 years old. She is a Vegas, Regional and U.S. Nationals prize-winning mare, and most recently, the dam to a stunning 2019 bay colt, Emiliano INZ, sired by Exxalt (Excalibur EA x Vesperra, by SF Veraz). Emiliano INZ’s sire choice was a labor of serious study as this was Suzann’s 2018 re-entry into breeding after a 14-year hiatus, because Suzann’s final foal was born in 2005. That foal was Perlina El Jamaal (Pershahn El Jamaal x Petrovkka), who is now owned by Jerland Arabians.

“I really struggled with choosing a stallion I believed worthy of H Bella Bellezza H,” Suzann shares with a smile. “It’s a good problem to have but not one that is easy to solve! So, in my mind, I went back to Howie Kale, Jr.’s advice from 1980 when my Daddy and I purchased our 7-week-old Russian-bred filly *Pavlinka from the

Kossack Stud in the Netherlands. *Pavlinka was the start of Twin Creek Arabians’ horse enterprise.” Suzann continues, “Howie is a total proponent of the dam having a huge influence on the outcome of her foal. Knowing this, I remembered laying eyes in 2014 on one of the most beautiful fillies I had ever seen who was out in the vast pastures of Butler Farms in NC. I was astounded to realize upon closer view that this incredibly refined foal was actually a colt!”

That youngster was Exxalt. Suzann had no doubts that three years later, Exxalt was ‘the one,’ when she had the winning bid of an Exxalt breeding at the Region 12 Spotlight Futurity Auction in 2017. Iniziare Arabians uses the incomparable trainer Claudinei Machado to show all of Suzann’s horses. “Claudinei and I are very much looking forward to Emiliano INZ’s reveal in 2020,” says Suzann with a gleam in her eye. 2019 is particularly exciting for Iniziare Arabians, as this is the first year since 2005 that Suzann is experiencing second generation ‘goose bumps.’

INIZIARE ARABIANS

Marcelina INZ (Marajj x Satin Doll GA)

In addition to that, Iniziare Arabians has an exciting line-up of show fillies competing at the 2019 U.S. Nationals. Suzann elaborates, “Claudinei will be presenting Marcelina INZ (Marajj x Satin Doll GA) in the ABS Yearling Filly class. Marcelina was a Top Ten Yearling Filly at the 2019 Scottsdale show and she was the 2019 Unanimous Region 7 ABS Yearling Filly Champion.

Suzann’s 3-year-old Arabian mare Bella Duchessa GA (JJ Bellagio x Duchess Of Marwan) also has an enviable show record going into this year’s U.S. Nationals competition. As a weanling she was named the Silver Champion Filly at the Arabian Breeder Finals in 2016. She followed that up in 2017 when she was named Reserve Champion Yearling Filly at the Scottsdale Show, Reserve Champion Yearling Filly at Region I and in October, U.S. National Reserve Champion Yearling Filly. She continued her winning streak in 2018 with a Region II Reserve Championship and U.S. National Top Ten (third overall) in the 2-Year-Old Arabian Fillies.

“I remember when the judges announced at last year’s U.S. Nationals that the 2-Year-Old Filly class had some of the highest quality fillies they had ever had the pleasure to judge. That opinion was wonderful for an owner to hear, but it was really special when the audience agreed with a huge round of applause!”

Suzann’s experience purchasing Bella Duchessa GA is a prime example of ‘things that are meant to be.’ Always trusting her ideology of purchasing very young fillies, Suzann tried to purchase Bella Duchessa GA at just one month of age. According to Suzann, “Gemini Acres owners, Jim and Sally Bedeker, and Taylor Mason told me she was not for sale. I tried to buy her again as a yearling and again I was told, no! But when the Bedekers decided to disperse in July 2017, the answer became yes. Once again, my first impression of Bella Duchessa at one month of age gave me goosebumps all over and I had another ‘she is the one’ moment. I just had to wait a little longer to enjoy her.”

Ar abian Horse Times | 257 | Volume 50, No. 4A A

A DREAM THAT STANDS THE TEST OF TIME The year was 1962 when Lawrence of Arabia debuted on movie screens nationwide. Suzann’s earliest memory of how she came to love Arabian horses began with a ‘school-girl crush’ on actor Omar Sharif galloping on fiery Arabian horses across the vast sands of Jordan and Morocco. Suzann recalls, “It took me another 18 years to convince my Daddy to let me buy an Arabian show horse but I’m certain the Lawrence Of Arabia movie steered me towards Arabians, especially since I grew up in Texas which was at least 75% Quarter Horse country!” As a young child living in Dallas, Suzann describes her early childhood as being just a city kid, breathlessly awaiting her monthly pony ride which was located in front of the Steakley Chevrolet car dealership. Suzann’s parents outfitted her with Annie Oakley-style attire complete with holster and toy pistols. Little did they know they were fanning the fires that ultimately led to a relentless request for a show horse, finally culminating in 1980.

Petrovkka (*Muscat x *Pavlinka), at age 7.

Armed with some expert tutelage, including Howie Kales’ wisdom, whom she had met at Dr. Dee Whittlesey’s Zodiac Farms, Suzann flew to Amsterdam in 1980 with a resolute mission firmly in place to acquire a Russian-bred Arabian horse; the aforementioned Kossack Stud-bred filly *Pavlinka who was 7 weeks old at the time of her purchase and who led to the creation of Twin Creek Arabians and the breeding of splendid Russian lineage purebreds.

Suzann has rich memories of these years. “Daddy had specific rules. We would never own more than six horses, as he had bought a farm for the family and we were constructing a six-stall barn. And the 2nd rule was that we would never do this journey as a business write-off. To this day I follow this rule.” Suzann continues, “Every Sunday my parents would drive out to the farm from the city to see the mares and babies and we’d share a family tradition of dining on delicious home cooked Sicilian cuisine prepared by my Daddy who was an excellent chef. Daddy would tend to his one-acre garden which was a love he carried over from his farmland upbringing in Louisiana.”

Two of *Pavlinka’s foals, full sibling fillies Petrovkka and Mustiskka are particularly memorable, both sired by the immortal *Muscat. Both grew in stature and beauty as they matured, bearing unique characteristics of their Russian lineage. Petrovkka lived to the ripe old age of 34, having been born in 1985, and her final competition was in the aged mare class at the Scottsdale Arabian Horse Show with trainer Kim Morgan at the age of 18.

Suzann recollects, “Kim was convinced that Petrovkka could make a comeback at the only big show she had never attempted before, but it was a bit of a mountain to climb due to her age, plus she had foaled out three babies and not seen the inside of a show ring for a decade. Kim persuaded me to bring her out of retirement. It was one of the proudest moments of my life when my lovely Petrovkka

INIZIARE ARABIANS

entered Wendell Arena in February 2003, with Howard Kale, Sr., Howie Kale, Jr., and his daughter, Jennie, in attendance to watch this classic *Muscat daughter attempt to do what no other mare had tried to accomplish at her age! When Petrovkka entered the ring, it was as if she had never really left it. And when the Top Ten winners were announced in a field of eight mares who were all at least a decade younger than her, Petrovkka showed the crowd what she was made of, taking home a Top Four award in the Mare Eight & Over Class.”

Howie Kale, Jr. smiles, remembering, “Suzann has always loved and taken good care of her horses. She’s also endeavored to build her knowledge and become a better and better horsewoman and breeder, as well as a horse lover and enthusiast. Dad, Jennie, and I very much enjoyed watching Kim show Petrovkka at the 2003 Scottsdale show as an aged mare, knowing that she was created because Suzann and her family shared the same bond and respect for the Arabian horse that Jennie and I do.”

Petrovkka (age 18) and Kim Morgan at 2003 Scottsdale show.

A trained observer from the start, Suzann’s number one priority is the well-being of her horses. “I watch to see how my horses respond to their trainer and staff,” she says. “Are they trusting?

Do the horses flinch when the trainer walks by, or do they come to the front of their stall seeking to interact? Every single person who handles horses is key to gaining their trust, confidence and cultivating their spirit.”

Iniziare Arabians’ trainer Claudinei Machado adamantly agrees, “Trust is key in training, especially when it comes to the fillies and colts. You are building them up to be their best. Every horse is different, one needs to be mindful of that. Suzann has a good eye for horses. She always wants to learn and knows what is going on. I too, am always watching and learning, so we are compatible in that way.” Claudinei and Iniziare Arabians are based in Cave Creek, a stone’s throw from Scottsdale, where Suzann now resides.

Yes, Iniziare Farms is the new beginning for Suzann, but her sentiment is interwoven with the present day. Suzann speaks of her new journey, “I have always felt my father’s presence surrounding every purchase, at every competition and most definitely when Emiliano INZ was born on March 15, 2019.

I believe that my parents look down from heaven and now they both have the best seats in the house. I know in my heart that my ‘new beginnings’ are not my solo venture. We are, as always, indivisible.” ■ Emiliano INZ (Exxalt x H Bella Bellezza H)
