Comments From The Publisher

2020—What I Do For Love I have to admit, I’m not sorry to see this year end. With the loss of my father in January, it has been a very difficult time for my family and for me personally, one that was filled with change, some good and some not so good. But at the end of the day, we must move forward.

As I began to consider my future, I took note of everything that matters to me, looking for the places where I can best make a real contribution. For me, one constant shining light has been the Arabian horse; my time has basically been dedicated to the horses and the people who surround them. Over the months to come, I want to focus more than ever on the Arabian and its community.

This is my favorite time of year, when the colts and fillies who have been growing up in our pastures come into the barn for evaluation. We see who has talent and quality, potential in either halter or performance, or, for some, as a kid’s best friend. This is also where we evaluate our own stewardship of the horses; have we created Arabians who will take the breed further?

How can we improve? When we do this, we think of all the people who will one day own most of those youngsters—old friends, new friends, collaborators in the future of our beloved horses.

It is very important to me to know those people, to share my passion for the Arabian. I consider it my responsibility, something I do for these horses I love, to get as many new people involved as I can. I will be dedicating 2020 to this. As you know, while we publish Arabian Horse Times to cover the industry as a whole (its horses, participants, business, competitions, and more), we also offer Envision, which celebrates the emotion and the beauty that Arabians bring to so many people’s personal lives. Next year, as AHT continues its integral role in the industry, I hope to take Envision and the Arabian breed to a whole new level, and I hope it will play an even bigger role in our mission.

Of course, I will need your help. I encourage you all to follow closely in the months to come and to see how you can get involved. This is our horse, our community, our industry; and when we share the essence of the Arabian breed, we will inspire new horse lovers. And we will see our community grow in support of our unique horses.

Cover Story:

Monticello V ‌ The Western Phenomenon

by EVIE TUBBS SWEENEY Monticello V was the only sire to have two progeny in the AWPA $100,000 Western Pleasure Futurity in 2019. And he did it from a foal crop of just nine foals in 2015. One of these two progeny, the stunning Hendrixx WB, was crowned National Champion.

His story is one for the ages. And we have the privilege of bearing witness to its coming culmination.

Monticello V is a son of the late, great supersire, Jullyen El Jamaal, and out of one of Varian’s most prepotent broodmares, Mosquerade V, daughter of the incomparable Moska. It goes without saying, that greatness is layered into the DNA of Monticello V, as does his ability to pass it forward.

But filling the shoes of a sire such as Jullyen is difficult given even the finest parentage.

Enter Carolyn Lesley.

Carolyn grew up with horses, sharing the bond with her mother, longtime horsewoman Mary Lesley. A 17year equine hiatus ensued as Carolyn’s involvement in her father’s thriving event company amplified. But in February 2015, through a twist of fate, she found herself walking through the Scottsdale Arabian Horse show, and the mother/daughter team shared their passion in horses once again. Not even Mary’s tragic diagnosis of terminal Sarcoma shortly thereafter decelerated their enthusiasm.

The day that Carolyn walked into Monticello’s stall and met him for the first time at Setting Sun Stables was a moment that redefined both of their futures.

“It was love at first sight, and I think Monticello sensed his role immediately when my mom walked into his stall,” Carolyn recalled.

Carolyn and Monticello were inseparable from that point forward. The final show Mary attended, she witnessed Carolyn and Monticello crowned Canadian National Champions. Mary passed away during U.S. Nationals just two months later.

“When my mom and I got back into horses, we had no idea she was sick – and then it all hit,” Carolyn said. “And I think, what a blessing we did it together and she was able to get to know Monticello. The timing was amazing. God had a plan.”

Carolyn and Monticello traveled the country, picking up title after title, before his official retirement to stud in 2017. Following his final show ring performance, Monticello boarded a trailer to the west coast, where he would return to his birthplace of Varian Arabians and fill the empty stall of his father, both literally and figuratively.

The 2019 U.S. Nationals turned out to be a defining moment in the breeding career of Monticello V; his progeny wins and statistics were simply profound: Four out of six progeny by Monticello V that were shown in Tulsa garnered Top Ten Championships or better in their western divisions, and are as follows: four Top Tens, and one Reserve National Championship and three U.S. National Championships ...

• Hendrixx WB – Champion AWPA Arabian Horse World $100,000 Western Pleasure Futurity with Stanley White III (for trainer Joe Reser) • Hendrixx WB –Champion Arabian Western Pleasure AAOTR Maturity with Andrea Martoglio • Cello Shots SS –Champion H/A Western Pleasure AAOTR 36-54 with Carolyn Lesley • Honeys Rockin Cello – Reserve Champion H/A Western Pleasure Open with Joe Reser Monticello progeny made up 20% of the Top Ten finalists in the most lucrative class of the show, the Arabian Horse World AWPA $100,000 Western Pleasure Futurity, with one of them, Hendrixx WB, winning it.

Monticello V was the only sire to claim more than one progeny in the Arabian Horse World AWPA $100,000 Western Pleasure Futurity Top Ten… and this against major western sires such as Zefyr, Sundance Kid V, and KM Bugatti. What’s more, Monticello achieved this feat from a foal crop of just nine foals.

Above: Hendrixx WB Left: Cello Shots SS

Put simply, his consistent percentage of western pleasure winners at the highest levels of competition is utterly astonishing.

Combine that with the love-filled team that has supported him every step of the way, along with his massive social media fan base around the world (Facebook.com/ItsCelloTime), and his story becomes one for the ages.u Ar abian Horse Times | 17 | Volume 50, No. 6

Introducing

By THERESA CARDAMONE Arabian Horse Times and AHT Abroad are pleased to introduce a new means of honoring accomplished mares and their progeny; mares that are the “heart and foundation of our Arabian breed.� Having lit up the greatest show rings in the world and produced offspring that equal and sometimes surpass their own glory, these are the Dams of Excellence, a title that is only conferred upon those horses that meet its strict qualifying criteria in the halter and/or performance arena.

Ar abian Horse Times | 18 | Volume 50, No. 6

SCAN & NOMINATE

GHAZALA EL JAMAAL (Marwan Al Shaqab x Foxbriar Parysel) sets a high standard as the first mare to be named a Dam of Excellence, with nearly triple the amount of qualifying points needed. Hers is the first in a series of profiles that will outline the remarkable accomplishments of the Arabian breed’s finest producers.

They are the keepers of their heritage, the matriarchs of their families, the mothers of the future. They are the promise of tomorrow, they are Dams of Excellence.

Ar abian Horse Times | 19 | Volume 50, No. 6

by THERESA CARDAMONE After a twenty-plus-year hiatus from horses, Joe and Kim Orr traveled the world, learning from generous mentors and developing a strategic plan for the nucleus of a breeding program at their Rose City Arabians in Ridgefield, WA. They noticed a common factor among the farms that they visited; whether small or large, there were never more than a handful of consistently champion-producing mares. They took that observation to heart, opting to buy only the finest, proven mares.

“We’d like to have no more than five high-quality, world-champion-producing mares,” Joe Orr explains. “Being such a small farm, and being a little later in life ourselves, we thought we should find mares that had already produced national or world champions. The first that we acquired was Ghazala El Jamaal. She is a very special mare. We appreciate what her breeder and former owners have done for her. Now, we are honored to have her in our barn and share our lives with her.”

Ar abian Horse Times | 20 | Volume 50, No. 6

International Campion and Dam of Excellence Ghazala is an elegantly beautiful daughter of Marwan Al Shaqab and Foxbriar Parysel. Bred in the United States by Marlene Rieder, Ghazala El Jamaal was exported to Australia while she was still a youngster. There, she developed into a “vision of perfection” in the show ring and also became an outstanding producer before her re-importation to America. In tribute to her exemplary qualities, Ghazala El Jamaal is the first mare to be honored as a “Dam of

TOI SLAMTASTIC CRF (Matoi & Fantasy Watch) 2018 U.S. Reserve National Champion Half-Arabian Pleasure Driving AAOTD with Dick Ames

BY COL L E E N SCO T T

This Leader of the Times can truly be called one of the industry’s leaders. From a stellar breeding program that has earned them the honor of being named APAHA Breeder of the Year to their involvement in Arabian outreach to their high-performing show string, the Ames family and Cedar Ridge Arabians are truly considered pillars of the Arabian horse community.

Ar abian Horse Times | 24 | Volume 50, No. 6

For five decades, the family has been involved with Arabian horses.

Since their first foal in 1983, Cedar Ridge has bred 570 horses. But their breeding savvy and knack for making good matches goes back even further, to early English immigrant ancestors who bred Percheron draft horses, a tradition Dick Ames continued until his passing in January 2019.

Lollie and Lara remain fixtures in the Arabian community and committed to continue building the Cedar Ridge legacy of producing beautiful, athletic horses that excel in the breeding in-hand, saddle seat, western pleasure and working western disciplines.

“We are going to be focused on extraordinary quality, not necessarily quantity, as our breeding program moves forward,” explains Stephanie Davisson. “In the past, we have produced more than 20 babies a year, but we’re moving toward breeding fewer and really focusing on the best of the best.”

Stephanie predicts that the Cedar Ridge program will produce less than 10 babies a year, but an even more stringent selection process than in past years, they will be highly sought after and a good representation of the family’s commitment to excellence.

AMES IMPERATOR

(Afires Heir x Aria Endless Summer)

“We have a lot of good English-bred horses that were born this year,” Stephanie says. “We have babies by Baske Afire, SF Aftershoc and ROL Divine Style that are all just spectacular.”

This new generation of babies follow in the footsteps of such show ring successes as Toi Slamtastic CRF (Matoi x Fantasy Watch), a 2003 multititled national champion in the driving and English divisions; Ames Imperator (Afires Heir x Aria Endless Summer), a 2013 gelding who was named Reserve Champion at the Canadian Nationals in the Country English Pleasure Junior Horse division; and Ames Divine (ROL Divine Style x Julietta Ames), a 2015 mare who was named Reserve Champion in the Arabian English Pleasure Futurity and captured 2019 U.S. National Top Ten honors in the AEPA Arabian Horse Times $100,000 Arabian Saddle Seat Futurity.. These are just a few examples of the exceptional horses bred by Cedar Ridge Arabians over the years.

Stephanie describes Ames Divine as a great example of what they are striving for in the Cedar Ridge program. “She is exceptionally beautiful, has great expression, is very trainable and super athletic, both front and back end.”

AMES DIVINE

(ROL Divine Style x Julietta Ames)

Besides standing the stallion SHF Encore, the farm also stands TA Mozart (Kordelas x Marieta), a multi-national champion reining horse. Always a crowd favorite, TA Mozart carried the American flag into Ford Truck Arena at the 2019 U.S. Nationals. He has 78 babies on the ground.

“We have enjoyed a long history of producing incredible horses,” says Stephanie. “That tradition will continue as we strive to choose the very best mares and the very best stallions. We look forward to continuing to share our love of the Arabian horse with everyone already in the Arabian horse community. We also look forward to continuing to breed the kind of horses that make new people want to be a part of our industry. There is something incredibly satisfying about that and we see it every day as people go through our barns and just want to be around these amazing horses.” ■ TA MOZART

OPINION OF LARA AMES

U.S. Nationals— We All Won Every year, after the close of the U.S. Nationals, I think about what I’ve seen at the show and what that nine days tells me about the state of the Arabian industry. And every year, I’m happy to say that I can reach positive, hopeful conclusions about how we are doing. Now and then, there are some negative aspects that we must deal with, but always there are good things to say about our horses and the community that surrounds them.

This year I’m definitely happy. The Arabian horse is alive and well, and in my opinion, the United States Nationals may have been one of the best ever. Here are my thoughts.

The presentation of awards. I love how they did the top ten this year. All of the honorees got their one lap around the arena; they just all did it at one time. In the past, a legitimate complaint about “the Arabian way of doing things” was that the awards took too long. This significantly reduced the time, while still giving everyone a chance to celebrate.

The improved schedule. Along that line, I appreciated the shorter sessions and the evenings wrapping up earlier.

The Nationals is a long, and for competitors and their supporters, stressful show. Every spare minute we were able to get this year was a godsend.

Young horse classes. No other way to say it: they were simply amazing. The quality and the presentation were over the top and the best ever. Some of my favorite horses of the whole show came from the Futurity divisions. Does that make you excited for what we’ll see in the future?

Amateurs showing in open classes. This is always a delicate topic, and maybe more so this year because we saw a bit more of it at the U.S. Nationals than I recall ever having seen before. I know some trainers may not like it, but I personally enjoyed seeing it. Stop and think about it; it’s a huge challenge for an amateur to show against a professional, so that is rarely a decision taken lightly. But they’re the ones paying many of the bills, so, assuming that they have the talent and the competitive horses to do it, I say let them enjoy their moments at that level of competition.

Unity. Here’s a way I think we can further improve the show. I still would like to see the final two days take place in one arena, so that we all could come together to share the versatile Arabian horse. Maybe it’s feasible only to happen for one night, but think about it—wouldn’t it be nice to see a halter class, English performance events, and a working western class all in one session together? What unity would that be! Not only would we be experiencing a whole new level of camaraderie, but we would be doing a better job of promoting within our own breed.

And finally, the most positive aspect of the 2019 U.S. Nationals—sportsmanship. It was so nice to see everyone come together and be so complimentary to all the competitors. At the end of the day, we all want to leave with a silver trophy, and we all know that that’s not possible. So, it was beautiful to see all of us come together to congratulate those who were taking home ribbons. The foundation of our community is our love for the Arabian horse, and because of that, our respect for each other.

That’s what I saw in action. ■

BY MARY KIRKMAN Veterans Day weekend, Timmonsville, South Carolina: Palmetto Arabians’ Frank and Sara Chisholm celebrated 20 years of breeding horses with their Platinum Auction, a no-holds-barred statement of faith in their program that attracted buyers from around the country. Even with their stellar record, though, the Chisholms were realistic; in an equine economic climate that guarantees nothing, they just hoped for the best. Seventy-two hours later, on Sunday afternoon, the results were in—and the Palmetto Platinum was shining like a beacon for the future.

Every horse had sold, earning a total of $471,055, and in the process blazing a new trail for the industry as a whole.

“To have a sale where the buyer is able to tell the seller what they want to pay—without reserves; you bid, this is what you get—doesn’t happen very often,” observed Rob Bick, whose RBC Show Horses has long been involved with Palmetto. “We’re fortunate to have a Frank and Sara Chisholm, who were willing to take a chance. It’s a good way to set a real market.”

By that, he reiterated, all of the horses were offered without reserve (only a $500 starting bid protected them).

At the same time, Palmetto put on a first-class weekend of camaraderie that ticked the boxes on what plenty of owners have said they want: a pleasant time with others who appreciate Arabians and an opportunity to purchase really good horses in a transparent, straightforward way.

Imagine what you would like to see in a sale, some attendees offered in explanation—how it’s set up and run—and if you’re into primarily western, hunter and halter horses, that was the Palmetto Platinum Auction.

Ar abian Horse Times | 40 | Volume 50, No. 6

Start with logistics. The schedule was efficient: previews were Friday, November 9, followed by the live auction of 28 lots on Saturday evening. That lasted about two hours (which makes a good social event, according to one buyer), and if you were outbid there, you could fall back on Sunday’s online sale of 16 more lots.

Hospitality was sincere and practical. There were not only drinks and food, but also regular Facebook updates on weather and traffic between the farm and nearby Florence, where most people stayed.

But it was the atmosphere at the farm which blew everyone away (no pun intended, with the only flaw in an otherwise sparkling weekend being grey skies and a chilly wind). Guests were invited to walk the pastures, go in the barns, open the stall doors, greet the horses. “Ask to have anyone led out for your examination,” they were told, “and order vet checks and x-rays if you like.”

“You walked in and there was Kid Khan, hanging his head over the door, and Phoenix was right next to him,” smiled Lisa Gaudio. “There was no ‘don’t go up to him.’ That tells me right then and there that I want to breed to those horses. I want horses from that program.”

Gaudio also walked the pastures, checking out the bloodlines of mares and babies, noting that all of the foals came up to meet her. “I know that the way they handle these babies from the day they’re born is half the battle.” On Saturday night, she purchased the hunter prospect PA Mikkella.

Trainer Nicole Reed accompanied client Donna Bialecki to the sale. “What drew us there is that they breed great horses and we had our eye on a couple,” she said. “[Breeding Manager] Sarah O’Brien told us to do whatever we wanted.”

She countered the negative social media that often questions the quality of horses in auctions. “Go look at what you’re buying,” she says. “We were able to go in without supervision and touch the horses, whether it was a colt, filly, gelding, whatever—they had no issue with it.” In the end, Bialecki purchased the western prospect PA Real Messina.

Trainer Lisa Powell agreed. “The photos and videos were fine, but when you see them there in person, they are whole different horses,” she noted, but with an even more upbeat twist. “Especially over the last couple of months, they’d matured, and they were conditioned and turned out was great. My client got a great prospect that was ready to ride, ready to go.” On hand to purchase PA Real Athena for client Holly Hovart and PA Memphis Always for Susan Hall, Powell also partnered with Nicole Cotton to acquire PA Marguax.

Ar abian Horse Times | 41 | Volume 50, No. 6

Positive vibes spread quickly; many guests pitched in unasked to help set up for the preview and sale. And for the preview, in spite of the cold breezes, the crowd remained clustered around the ring watching the horses come out, even after their own choices had returned to their stalls.

Then there was the sale itself—an eyeopener for many in the Arabian business. Each horse was led calmly into the ring, well-prepared and polished (but not body-clipped), to walk in a circle. Bidders could see the conformation, the stride, and the temperament. While most were prospects, so didn’t need to be ridden, the concept actually went further than that; it was one more step in the “no smoke and mirrors” standard.

“It was all their pedigree and the beauty of their balance and carriage, just letting them be the way they were,” said Bick. “And it worked out just great. Sarah O’Brien did a great job getting about 30 horses ready.”

(RBC helped out with another dozen.)

“Palmetto has no bad broodmares,” he continued. “There are no bad pedigrees in that herd. They’ve done their homework; there’s a reason Frank and Sara are in the APAHA Hall of Fame as breeders [following Breeder of the Year titles in 2012, 2014 and 2016]. I think many people that came were shocked at the depth of horses, right down to the last one. Some trainers probably found a lot more horses to pick from than they’d thought.

“I’m not sure everyone understood that it was not a ‘dump’ sale,” he added. “It was a production sale, a celebration of 20 years of breeding, and the horses sold because they were good horses. It justified the value of what we’ve been selling privately for Frank and Sara.”

Different buyers had different priorities, but one apparently bred-in feature of Palmetto horses that impressed everyone was temperament.

“That’s why Frank used the bloodlines he did,” Bick said. “They’re trainable, smart, personable horses. Trainers get them and they want more of them. They like living with them.”

Another across-the-board aspect of the sale was how well the geldings sold, due to their performance potential.

Overall, most said that beyond the quality of the horses, the key to success was that people turned out for the weekend in person. Most there were serious buyers, and even those unable to come in person were able to access professional contacts there for in-person evaluations, which drove Sunday’s online sale.

“Part of the reason we’re in horses is the social aspect of it,” Bick reflects.

“It’s fun to go talk to other people that are interested in horses and see the horses in person. For the most part, most people want to touch the horse they’re going to buy.”

Nicole Reed may have phrased it best. “I wish there were more live sales like this, because with AI, you don’t go to those farms anymore. You get to see all the horses and the babies, and fall in love with them. If we did that more, it would help the breed so much.”

Platinum: today’s symbol of 20 years. That’s a lot of brilliance. And now there is room in the Palmetto pastures for next year’s new faces.

BACK COV ER S TORY:

VEGAZ

Supreme Show Horse, Superior Sire

BY T HE R E S A C A R DA MONE

The cheers from the crowd were deafening as the judges at the 2010 United States National English Pleasure Championship called for a work-off between the top two competitors. Vegaz had won the 2006 U.S. National Champion English Pleasure Futurity title and was also the unanimous 2008 English Pleasure Junior Horse. Going headto-head against him was the reigning 3-time unanimous champion Afires Heir in his show ring finale. In a final round that is remembered as the best of all time, Vegaz pushed his nemesis to the limit and secured the title of Reserve National Champion.

That 2010 work-off remains one of the most talked-about moments in Arabian show horse history. It was not only a display of awesome talent; it was a glimpse into the future, as both stallions have emerged as significant sires of national performance champions formed in their own image. With 553 registered foals, Afires Heir has an enviable pool to pull from. But, with only 185 get of his own, Vegaz can claim an equal or better percentage as a sire.

Just one year after the memorable final, Vegaz (Apollopalooza x SMS Forever Bay) had his first national title-winner in CSP Mister Vegaz, the 2011 U.S. Reserve National Champion Half-Arabian Country English Pleasure Futurity horse bred by trainer Chris Wilson. That was just the beginning. To date, Vegaz has sired 11 individual horses who have earned 22 National Champion titles (U.S., Canada, Youth) with 21 individuals earning 30 Reserve National Championships. At times, his influence at the top is staggering.

Ar abian Horse Times | 46 | Volume 50, No. 6

In 2015, Vegaz dominated the Amateur Maturity division, siring the unanimous U.S. National Champion English Pleasure AAOTR Maturity horse, SD Graceland, as well as the Reserve National Champion, Man About Vegaz VA, and two more of the Top Five in the class. To top it off, he also sired the U.S. National Champion Country English Pleasure AAOTR Maturity winner, CP Dance Til Dawn! Fast forward to the 2019 U.S. Nationals—Vegaz get won five national championships and three reserves. Life Inthe Fazt Lane was the Reserve National Champion in open English Pleasure with CSP Adriana finishing right behind him in third place. She was also a unanimous section winner in the 40 & Over English Pleasure. Two of the national championships were earned by SD Graceland, who was listed by A H T as the “winningest Purebred English horse in 2018.”

Trainer Ryan Strand showed the Vegaz daughter Best of My Love to the 2019 U.S. National Champion Country Pleasure Driving title. “Vegaz has been a game-changer for my business,” he avers. “He adds a little more hind leg, a little more strength—things that the breed is in dire need of. As I travel to look at horses, I am also seeing extremely nice young horses from Vegaz daughters. The history books will show him to be both an outstanding sire of show horses and of the broodmares who produce them.”

BEST OF MY LOVE (x River Dance NA), 2019 U.S. National Champion Country Pleasure Driving, owned by Janna O'Neill.

During the nationals, Ken Knipe, Doug Schultz, and Chris Wilson began to develop a plan to form a partnership that would bring Vegaz back to the care of his former trainer, Chris. It was a move that cemented a longtime friendship between the three men. All three have been involved with the horse from the beginning and Chris is grateful to have Vegaz back home again. “This is a reunion of friends,” he says, “brought together through this special horse. We all love him and appreciate him.”

Doug Schultz explains, “Our wonderful friendship definitely is the story. I knew Chris, and when I bred my first mare to Vegaz in 2008, my friendship with Ken got started. We’re excited about the Vegaz offspring that are making their names as show horses. It’s been very rewarding for those of us who have been fans of his for a long time and he is the catalyst for why we put the partnership together.” Ken Knipe couldn’t agree more. “Because of this amazing stallion, I have had many great friends brought into my life,” he relates. “Our new collaboration cements two of my closest friends into a partnership, and now the three of us get to cheer on the Vegaz offspring at shows together. Nothing could be better!”

Doug recalls how a conversation between friends changed everything.

“We were sitting together this year in Tulsa,” he says, “going over the possibilities of putting a partnership together and bringing him back home to CSP, not only for us to enjoy and to breed, but to elevate the awareness of what Vegaz is doing as a sire. Now that it’s a reality, I really can’t tell you how much we have enjoyed these last weeks,” says Doug.

“The opportunity for the three of us to work together again is absolutely wonderful. It’s kept us smiling for a lot of days!”

No doubt as the next generations of his descendants hit the show ring, Vegaz will keep the three men, and all of his other fans, smiling for many years to come. ■

The Mystery Of QR CODES ...

What Are QR Codes?

They come to us from Japan where they are very common. QR is short for “Quick Response” (they can be read quickly by a cell phone). They are used to take a piece of information from a transitory media and put it into your cell phone. You may see QR Codes in magazine adverts, on billboards, a web page or even on someone’s t-shirt. When the code is scanned, it gives you details about a business, a link to videos, websites or coupons that can be used at stores.

Where Do You Get A QR Code Reader?

First you need to have a smartphone or a tablet equipped with a camera. Next you will need to download an app for your phone/tablet to be able to scan the QR Codes. QR Code Reader can be found in the App Store or by searching for QR Code Readers online; there are several to choose from.

How Do You Scan A QR Code?

Once you have the QR Code Reader app on your phone/tablet, it’s easy! You open the app and hold the phone/tablet above the QR code so that it’s clearly visible within your screen. Two things can happen: it will automatically scan the code, or with some readers, you have to press a button to snap a picture of it. It will then read the code and take you to a website, video, coupon, etc.

How Can You Use A QR Code?

QR codes can be used in a number of ways. You can use them for your farm, stallion(s) or business, no matter how small or large. They can link to your Farm’s website, your stallion’s show record, video or link to promotional photos; or a business can link popular products and how to purchase them. QR Codes can be added to print advertising, stallion cards, flyers, event invites, business cards, etc.

the Arab ian English Horse

by CATHERINE COLE FERANDELLI The Kirby family enjoyed their tenth year at the 2019 U.S. Nationals with plenty to celebrate. Katherine Kirby and her 8-year-old bay purebred gelding CP Manifesto made two return visits to the winner’s circle, champions in ABS Arabian Country English Pleasure AAOTR Jackpot and Arabian Country English Pleasure AAOTR 19-35. Purchased by the Kirbys at two years of age, Manifesto was a bit of a ‘late bloomer.’ But today, says Katherine, “Manifesto has a heart of gold and gives me his all every time we go in the show ring.”

Then there is 11-time Champion and Reserve Arabian English Pleasure Champion CP Shenanigan (‘Shane’).

By Anza Padron and out of Cal Poly Kellogg Arabian matriarch CP Dance Card, 12-year-old Shane still wows the crowd with the flashy fluid action for which he’s made a name for himself. English Pleasure fans still recollect Shane and trainer Jim Stachowski’s 2010 English Pleasure Futurity championship performance.

Katherine’s eyes sparkle as she recollects she and her parents’ more than two decade journey of owning and showing Arabian horses, “If I had been asked ten years ago, I couldn’t have imagined the opportunities, joy and fun my parents and I have embraced owning, showing and now breeding Arabian horses.” The love of horses runs deep in the Kirby family. Katherine’s grandfather kept an array of horses in the early 90s, one of which was an Arabian stallion. Their love of spending time on his property brought the Kirbys to checking out places locally to ride horses for fun. Much to their surprise, there was an Arabian horse performance barn in their city. The rest is history.

CP Shenanigan

A year of riding lessons led the Kirbys to purchase their first Arabian horse. Katherine rode frequently, beginning with western style riding, evolving to hunt seat. When she was twelve, she moved on to saddle seat riding. Having a solid riding foundation, Katherine quickly embraced a love for the inimitable speed of English style riding.

Flash forward to the Kirbys visiting Stachowski Farm in 2009, where their horse Windabrae was in training. It was in 2010 when they purchased their first English horse, CP Shenanigan, as a 2-year-old.

Katherine is thoughtful, “Showing horses requires the perfect fit for the horse, its trainer and the rider. When we first met the Stachowskis, everything just felt right for us.” She tries to visit her horses at least monthly, keeping strong in between those stays with a stringent exercise program to stay fit. Anyone who has ever ridden a great Arabian English horse quickly realizes one must have plenty of endurance, coordination and balance. Katherine maintains, “These horses have so much energy, I’m constantly active at home so I can keep up!”

The Kirbys hold dear the entire experience showing Arabian horses has brought to their lives. Katherine smiles, “Showing and winning is the pinnacle of achievement. But along the way, there is this incredible journey of breeding, watching our young horses reach their full potential with the best team in the world, and spending time with wonderful people. We will always be grateful to Stachowski Farm for bringing us into this infectiously rewarding experience.” ■

by CATHERINE COLE FERANDELLI The triumph of homebred horses always adds that extra dose of pride to any championship win. For Boisvert Farms, breeding their purebred stallion GSF Rizing Son to prize Saddlebred mares has resulted in a fresh crop of young HalfArabian Country English horses exhibiting yet again, that the art of breeding great horses is a finely cultivated craft.

And…proving the point further, Money Talks took his amateur owner, Carrie Fritz, to the Half-Arabian Country English Pleasure AAOTR Maturity winner’s circle, proof positive Boisvert Farm and Joel breed and train young horses to show equally successfully at the national level in Open and Amateur competition.

Boisvert Farms’ charismatic 3-year-old chestnut gelding Jean LaFfitte BF turned in a Unanimous Champion Half-Arabian Country English Pleasure Futurity performance with trainer Joel Gangi, combining flash and flair, along with those ‘paramount manners,’ key to any great country English horse.

In my book, they’re pretty hard to beat.”

NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIPS

An Event To Remember

by B E TH E LLEN H UNZIKER

E

ach year owners, breeders, trainers, grooms, volunteers, media, vendors, and aficionados gather to celebrate the Arabian horse. Although we’ve been meeting and competing at the U.S. National Championships for 53 years, every time is different and unique, with new champions crowned and dreams becoming realities.

Winning never grows old and neither does our love for our breed.

With over 1,777 horses entered and more than 1,000 exhibitors competing, there were countless opportunities to experience our shared passion. The show offered over 210 classes including halter and many forms of performance disciplines—all designed to showcase the spectacular beauty and legendary versatility of the Arabian.

There truly was something for everyone.

As always, the halter and breeding classes were filled with exquisitely beautiful horses. However, one factor that stood out in these classes was the international influence, as well as their breeders and owners. Multiple winners were bred or are owned by those from Argentina, Poland, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, Sharjah, Australia, Brazil, and of course, Canada. The U.S. Nationals looked and felt like a mini United Nations with visitors from around the world.

Arabian horses really shine in performance competition. These classes not only showcase their beauty, but also their athletic ability, strength, and amazing character. Working together in unison, owners and their Arabians create a bond unlike any other. Performance competition supports our breed in many ways, such as creating the need for breeding, training, marketing, and other important roles and career opportunities. With all the tangible and inherent benefits, a great many people believe performance competition has become the lifeblood of our industry.

2019 United States

This year, the most popular class with the largest number of entries was Half-Arabian Ranch Riding with 55 horses entered. There were several Ranch Riding classes offered for the first time this year for both purebred and Half-Arabians, as well as for professional and amateur riders in age groups of 19-54 and 55 and over. You can learn more about these new classes by visiting the AHA website. Running a close second in entries was the Arabian Western Pleasure Junior Horse class with 50 horses entered. And as always, the hunter pleasure classes were among the biggest and full of top-quality horses and riders.

Also new for 2019 from AHA were four additional Arabian Breeders Sweepstakes (ABS) AAOTR Jackpot classes—added to the already existing Hunter, Western and Country Pleasure classes—in purebred and Half-Arabian English Pleasure and Reining, which were very popular. There was $409,500.00 total in sweepstakes prize money available.

The growing amount of commercial sponsorships has strengthened participation and added to the excitement of a lot of classes, including the Arabian Working Western Alliance’s $30,000 Bonanza Program, sponsored by Eleanor’s Arabian Farm, The AHPA’s Arabian Hunter Pleasure Futurity, sponsored by Royal Arabians, and the Half-Arabian Hunter Pleasure Futurity, sponsored by Fan Stable, Inc. With classes held in several areas simultaneously, there was no lack of things to see and do, or fun to be had. On Thursday, Ar abian Horse Times | 20 | USN Rose Report

who participate, it’s vitally important for the future of our breed to have knowledgeable and experienced young judges coming up through the ranks.

Both the ABS Arabian and Half-Arabian Reining AAOTR Jackpot classes were highly competitive, as $15,000 in Sweepstakes prize money was offered for each, plus the Jackpot, so a lot was on the line for everyone entered.

Not to be outdone were the AWPA $50,000 Half-Arabian Western Pleasure Futurity and the AHPA $75,000 Half-Arabian Hunter Pleasure Futurity. The horses presented in these extremely competitive classes also showcased the best of the best in our breed. The enthusiastic participation of the exhibitors and the support from the trainers and spectators made these classes some of the most exciting of the show. And just as thrilling was the AEPA Equine Athlete $50,000 Half-Arabian English Pleasure Futurity. Filled with highly talented and beautiful horses, it was an exceptional display of skilled riders who brought out the best in their mounts. It also gave everyone a chance to prepare for the fun filled evening that lay ahead with “The Stars Come Out At Night” benefit for AHDF. Most, if not all in our industry are familiar with the work of the Arabian Horsemen’s Distress Fund, a non-profit organization that has assisted numerous members of our community who have suffered from medical emergencies and other tragedies. The Stars Come Out At Night benefit would see $300,000 awarded in prize money. Calcuttas took place before the AWPA $100,000 AHW Arabian Western Pleasure Futurity, the Senior Mare Championship, The AHPA Royal Arabians $75,000 Arabian Hunter Pleasure Futurity and the AEPA Arabian Horse Times $100,000 Arabian English Pleasure Futurity, with all proceeds benefitting the AHDF and the organizations sponsoring the classes. This was a special evening for our community to come together to support each other and to celebrate our fabulous breed.

October 24th, there was an Arabian Horse Hippology Contest which gave all the smarty pants a chance to test their knowledge. Later that afternoon, the ABS HA/AA English Pleasure AAOTR Jackpot class was standing room only. This was followed by the Arabian Horsemen’s Distress Fund (AHDF) Wine Walk, which offered wine, beer, cocktails, mocktails, music, and a silent auction, all to raise funds for this very worthy cause. That evening, amateurs had yet another opportunity to take the spotlight for the ABS Arabian English Pleasure AAOTR Jackpot class. This too, had standing room only and was a lot of fun!

Each year, youth from around the country gather at the Nationals for the Arabian Horse Judging Contest, held Friday morning, and sponsored by ARC. Not only is this event a fun and educational time for the youth

In addition to witnessing multiple emotional and memorable rides throughout the week, final weekend events included the Youth Judging Team Contest presentations and the AHYA Trails West Trailer Raffle Winner Drawing. This left a few minutes to do some serious shopping at the shopping expo, with 52 different vendors that offered fantastic fashion, art, jewelry and other luxury items, as well as practical items such as saddles, supplies, and other tack. Again, there was something for everyone from fun and funky to ultra-chic and elegant.

Looking back at the 2019 U.S. Nationals, it is apparent just how much effort goes into hosting an event of this magnitude. There were over 90 Show Officials and 76 Event Staff, and that doesn’t count all the volunteers. Among the show officials, there were five judging panels with over 20 judges presiding who did an outstanding job of evaluating and adjudicating the classes. This year, AHA received support from 129 Patrons and over 80 additional sponsors. It shows just how much we rely upon and depend on each other for support, which is why such a strong bond exists within our industry. We all win when we come together for the love of the Arabian horse.

Favorite Moments ...

“One of the most exciting United States Nationals in many years! The quality of the halter horses were top of the line, and the atmosphere in the arena was exhilarating and intense as each class had multiple champion contenders. We are grateful to so many and still pinching ourselves as the Midwest dream of presenting and winning four out of four of the major halter championships—Senior and Junior Stallions and Senior and Junior Mares—came true. We were honored. Team work made the dream work!“ —David Boggs “Spending time with wonderful friends and meeting new ones, and showing our horse Apollo to 2nd on a judge’s card in a beautiful class.”

—Paul Glans

“Listening to the crowd cheer so very loud in support of my Reserve Champion Senior Stallion, Kavalle MI.” —Joanne Gunabalan “When my trainer, Grant Krohn, showed my beautiful Arabian horse, Koweta Verdict, in the 3-Year Old Futurity Gelding class and placed in the Top Ten!” —Jo Ann Landry “Sharing wins with horses I am so unabashedly in love with and proud of, experiencing it all and cheering on with the best mom, friends, and barnmates a person could ever have while watching them succeed themselves!”

—Morgan Runyon

“I’m so blessed to own the kind of fillies that Claudinei Machado and I competed with at the 2019 U.S. Nationals. I am a very small breeder only owning five horses.

My yearling filly Marcelina INZ took home a 3rd Place in the ABS Yearling Filly Championship in a hugely competitive class of 17 fillies, and my 3-year-old filly, Bella Duchessa GA, took home 4th Place in the Futurity Filly class, also in a highly competitive class of 18 fillies. To have both do so well as a very small breeder is a God given gift.” —Suzann Vince

2019 U.S. National Judges’ Reflections Steve Lieblang Congratulations to all the winners in each division, as it recognizes everyone’s hard work in getting your horse to that performance level and the time spent by all involved in each win and accomplishment.

Richard Petty My favorite moments were the Junior Country English and Junior Western Pleasure classes. Those young horses were fresh, happy, moving true and correct. In a word ... beautiful. My congratulations and respect to those riders and trainers.

Joseph Polo As one of the halter judges, I noticed positive energy, camaraderie, and sportsmanship within the arena, as well as an entertainment factor that helped spectators have a good time.

The quality of horses at Nationals is always at a high level and the depth of the classes exceeds expectations.

It’s always great to have unanimous champions with the judges in sync, but it’s also encouraging to see classes where judges have a variety because it shows that any one of several horses could have been the champion.

There are a few memorable highlights for me. One is having the opportunity to judge a world champion mare like Perfinka who was shown throughout Europe. To be able to judge such a well-traveled international beautiful mare here in the U.S. is such an honor. Also, the Half-Arabian Amateur Geldings class was fun because there were several national champions and the quality was really great.

There were many classes that were exciting to judge, like the Junior Mares. It was an in-depth class where any one of the six or seven horses could have been national champion. The Yearling Fillies were also beautiful. Rounding up even, with the National Champion Futurity Colt shown by Rodolfo Guzzo, three different horses had a first on each of our judges’ cards.

Overall, I left this year’s U.S. Nationals with a wonderful impression, not just because of the quality of the horses that competed, but also because of the hard work that was put in towards making the show fair, positive, competitive and entertaining for the spectators.

I would personally like to thank the breeders, owners, handlers, and my fellow judges, Terry and Steve, for making the 2019 U.S Nationals such a great show!

Gary Reynolds My favorite moment was judging the Half-Arabian Reining Futurity; what a super group of horses to score! I would also have to include when the judges from the western pen went over to the halter arena and made everyone kind of nervous, LOL! We were taking pictures and looking at everything ... I think they thought we were the Law!

Ar abian Horse Times | 78 | USN Rose Report

Marilyn Randall It was awesome to work with such a great panel of working western judges!

Lisa Corbin

Jill Lochner

It was such an honor to judge U.S. Nationals this year. It is really hard to say there was one moment that stood out. Honestly, the quality of the horses and how they were turned out and presented throughout the entire show was exciting to see. There were times I wished we could have named a Top Fifteen instead of just the Top Ten. The quality was outstanding.

Everyone, including the trainers, amateurs, owners, and grooms, should be commended. It was such a pleasure to be in center ring for such an amazing show.

When Dani Stock won the Half-Arabian Open Western, not only was she shocked to win, but it was so memorable when Greg Harris stepped off his horse and left him standing in the lineup (alone) to go congratulate her. It was a very special moment for sure!

Bob Gordon

Darrell Bilke

The most memorable part of the 2019 U.S. Nationals was opening ceremonies on Friday evening when Mary Trowbridge rode TA Mozart into the arena carrying the United States flag. That moment was so perfect, yet very emotional for me ... not only honoring our flag, but seeing it carried by a horse from one of the most influential men of my lifetime (then the repeat performance on Saturday, as well).

I believe this is my third time judging and there were many quality runs to be proud of this year in the trail, horsemanship and showmanship classes. The whole horse show is my favorite moment! It is an all-around well-run show.

October passing of his great stallion and one of the lynch pins

during U.S. Nationals and it was clear the stallion’s passing had a profound impact not only on Larry, the stallion’s caretaker

since 2007, but also on the entire Arabian horse community.

And Stanley isn’t the only fan of Kola J. Fellow trainer Liz

Bentley describes him as a classic western horse. “He’s smooth

and fluid and solid. When you couple that with his undeniable beauty, you have one of the truest and best western horses to hit the scene in a long time.”

Van Jacobsen, one of the judges officiating the class, was

also impressed. “I recall judging a beautiful Arabian Western

Following the stallion’s unanimous win, Larry recalls the

congratulations of many Kola J fans. “We were just swamped with people,” he says. “Many have referred to him as the one that is

setting a new standard, and that is really gratifying since he is the result of many decades of careful breeding decisions. I bred two

generations on the sire side and seven generations on the mare side of Kola J, which makes me really proud of our program.”

Kola J wasn’t the only Jerland Farms’ success at the show. Four

others were named champion or reserve, making Jerland Farms the 2019 USN Western Pleasure Leading Breeder (based on number

of reserve champions and champions). The others included Blue J,

Reserve Champion Half-Arabian Western Pleasure Select AATR; Khalifornia Khrome J, Reserve Champion Arabian Western

Kola J is starting his breeding career, with frozen semen

available now. He’ll continue being collected at Zerlotti Equine Reproduction. Then he will head back to Stan White’s place to prepare for Scottsdale. Following Scottsdale, fresh semen will be available.

“Stan loves this horse just as much as I do,” says Larry. “In fact, everyone that handles him, from the people collecting him, to people that have hauled him – they all just love him. He’s a

brilliant and kind horse with a great personality. I can’t be more

proud to have him represent our breeding program and we’re really looking forward to seeing his offspring.”

Larry believes that over the years, Kola J will compare with the

Favorite Moments ...

“Watching Dani Stock win the H/A Western Pleasure Open. She had an amazing ride and I was so proud to have a woman win such a tough class. My favorite ‘personal’ moment was finishing my first ride and when I lined up and looked at my trainer, got a thumbs up!!! It’s been a struggle, LOL!!” —Sheila Curley “When Dani Stock won the Half-Arabian Western Pleasure Open tops everything in my mind! That was so exciting and well deserved. It was a big win for the young women of the industry!” —Ali Brady “Watching Lara Ames win the Western Pleasure class! You could tell she felt her father’s presence! So much emotion wrapped up in that win!”

—Peggy Weems Ar abian Horse Times | 85 | USN Rose Report

“Picking one is so hard! Watching our horse community come together and support a cause very dear to my family is always an awesome moment. But watching Joe and Monaco always gives me goosebumps. Never thought I would have a horse like that. Joe and Monaco are so deserving of being named the Unanimous National Champion for the third year in a row … it is a ‘pinch me’ moment!”

—Leslie Doran “Winning the AAOTR Western Pleasure Jackpot for the third year in a row!”

Heirs Noble Love

7-Time U.S. National Champion

Karlton & Mary Ann Jackson, A Breeder’s Journey

by THERESA CARDAMONE

Dark eyes gleaming, ears pricked forward, Heirs Noble Love drives forward in a sparkling trot, knees breaking way above level, light and happy in the bridle. Her refinement, balance, and grace combine with smooth power and cadence to propel her once again to the winner’s circle.

When Heirs Noble Love was named the 2019 United States National Champion English Pleasure horse, it was for the third time, with previous unanimous Open wins in 2018 and 2016. Noble Love had already won the U.S. National Champion English Pleasure Junior Horse title in 2014, was the unanimous 2013 U.S. National Champion AEPA AHT Saddle Seat Futurity title winner, and had captured 2012 U.S. National Champion English Pleasure Futurity honors! It was an unprecedented achievement that is unlikely to be repeated.

No other horse has ever won all of the U.S. National English Pleasure championships as a 3-year-old, 4-year-old, 5-year-old, and as an Open horse (x 3!). And that isn’t all. In addition to those six memorable victories under saddle, Heirs Noble Love also donned harness to win the 2017 U.S. National Champion Pleasure Driving award by unanimous vote. She may well be the only horse to ever win seven United States National performance titles by the age of ten.

When Heirs Noble Love is entered at a show, fans hurry to get a good spot on the rail or in the stands, eager to cheer her on. She has a commanding presence juxtaposed with her femininity—she is one for the ages. More than once she has been compared to the legendary English horses of the past, but her accomplishments outshine them all. She is arguably the best of all time.

Heirs First Love ~ 2019 H/A Filly Arrowhead’s Unlike Any Other x Heirs Noble Love

Her breeder, Karlton Jackson, got involved with the Arabian breed when he and his wife Mary Ann were looking for a riding instructor for their two daughters and fell in love with the Arabian horses they encountered. After successful show careers, the girls went off to college and Jackson was inspired to learn more about the breeding end of the business from Joel Kiesner, from whose barn they were then operating.

“We talked about breeding as if Joel was the architect, so I could understand what we were designing here,” Jackson explains. “He would tell me how we could get more trot or more neck by using different stallions. We always ask ourselves how we can improve on the mare to enhance the line.” Kiesner found EA Aphroditie (AA Apollo Bey x Bint Rafhara, by *Gwar), whom he thought had the characteristics they were looking for in a foundation mare.

“With Joel’s guidance, we tried to release all of the potential that she had in her heritage,” adds Jackson. With four national champion offspring who have seven U.S. titles between them, the breeding decisions have proven to be sound indeed, earning EA Aphroditie the AHT Dam of Excellence title. When bred to IXL Noble Express, she produced Noble Aphroditie who is a Dam of Excellence herself with two national champion progeny to her credit, including Heirs Noble Love.

“Afires Heir was young, but Joel knew from riding him that he would bring the softness in the bridle and an even better neck and trot to Noble Aphroditie,” says Jackson. “It was the perfect cross. Due to embryo transfer, Heirs Noble Love is already the mother of several young prospects and the future dam of others by Persuasion, Inception, etc. Her first foals have an air about them, as she does; they’re very self-assured. They are going to be good show horses and very trainable because of their attitude. She may be the third of her line to earn the Dam of Excellence title.” Kiesner agrees. “I’ve never seen anything like it,” he states. “She’s a golden goose herself. Not only has she had some of the most spectacular performances in the history of the breed for so many years, I believe she could change the breed with her babies.”

Mercy Me ~ 2019 Filly Inception x Heirs Noble Love

As Karlton Jackson leans in to his fourth generation of breeding, he savors every step of the process. “It’s been a great journey,” he relates.

“Our goal is to improve the breed and to enjoy doing it. I would love to think that other people can have the same kind of experience that we’ve had with Heirs Noble Love.”

Jim Stachowski

Peter Stachowski

When the trailers rolled back home from the 2019 U.S. Nationals to Mantua, Ohio and San Marcos, California, both home to Stachowski Farms, there were plenty of rose garlands. In 2019, from the three national shows, the Farm and their clients added 34 National Championships—20 from U.S. Nationals alone which was quite impressive. In addition, they earned 34 Reserve Championships (22 from U.S. Nationals) and 117 Top Ten awards.

The newest wins add to the historical collection of more than 300 National Championships, 250 Reserve National Championships and 1,500 Top Tens. These awards served as validation of what could arguably be the largest Arabian horse training operation in the world.

Jimmy and Peter Stachowski began showing as youth riders with their parents and older brother. Their father had been inspired and enchanted with Arabian horses when he saw them on a farm growing up in Poland. The boys embarked on their professional training career when they were barely out of their teens, and the rest, as they say, is history.

Ar abian Horse Times | 128 | USN Rose Report

Fast forward to today, and Stachowski Farms is flourishing, with a business model unprecedented in the industry. Outside of their Ohio and California locations devoted primarily to Arabians, they have another location in Simpsonville, KY headed up by TJ Santaferra whose focus is on Saddlebreds. And the Stachowski team? Always growing, always learning and always, it seems, succeeding.

2019 – A BANNER YEAR Starting with the Scottsdale Show and culminating at U.S. Nationals, the farm had a great year on all fronts—breeding, sales, and wins.

“We had a really good year for our clients,” says Jimmy.

At U.S. Nationals, the brothers had memorable wins in all of the English classes, including Jimmy’s spectacular championships in both of the Arabian English Performance Association (AEPA) Futurity classes. In the purebred class, he rode KT Mahalo to a unanimous victory. In the HalfArabian class, he rode Nuttin Buta G Thang to the championship title. Peter took top tens in both classes, on Daniel-San in the Half-Arabian class and Moves Afire WA in the purebred class. Jimmy was also Reserve Champion with Hello Kitty CCF in the Arabian English Pleasure Junior Horse class and Reserve Champion in the Arabian Pleasure Driving class with HA Toskcan Sun.

Jonathan Ramsay

In the Arabian Country English Pleasure Junior horse class, Jon Ramsay caught rode the 4-yearold Kiss Me Cayte to the National Championship title for her new owner who purchased her from the Farm after the 2018 Nationals. That year, Cayte and Jon won the reserve title in the Arabian County English Futurity. Cayte left the farm in February of this year, but Jon was happy to catch ride her at U.S. Nationals and was very excited with the results.

Not only does the farm excel in the English division, but they are also just as successful in the Hunter Pleasure division. For the second year in a row, Jon Ramsay won the very large and extremely competitive U.S. National Half-Arabian Hunter Pleasure Open Championship with Vertuoso, and Sharon Blendinger was National Champion with a beautiful ride in the Half-Arabian Hunter Pleasure Futurity on Aristotle SLDM.

Sharon Blendinger

Those are just a couple of the wins; the other trainers that are part of the Stachowski team and the amateur riders all had a seamless and successful U.S. Nationals. How does that happen?

T H E S TAC H OW S K I M AC H I N E Home to both Arabians and Saddlebreds, the Mantua, Ohio location consists of Jimmy, Peter, Tom Theisen, Sharon Blendinger, Victor Botha, Brian Cutting, Hali West, Brian Chappell (who heads up the Saddlebreds), and Mikey Clark (lesson program). Leah Beth and John Golladay will be joining the team by the end of the year.

Tom Theisen has been part of the Stachowski team in Ohio for two years. “It is one, well-oiled machine,” he says. “It’s like that whether we are at home or at a show. We each have our own string of horses to work and we stay in communication with each other and with Jimmy and Peter on a regular basis.”

Ar abian Horse Times | 129 | USN Rose Report

Tom Theisen

What Tom enjoys the most about the Stachowski experience is working in the same arena everyday with a group of top-notch trainers. “For me, it’s super exciting to be with these other trainers. We have multiple breeds, multiple disciplines, multiple trainers, and we can bounce ideas off one another. It’s like you’re at a little horse show everyday. It’s great to have ground people, especially of this caliber.

Having that “little horse show” environment proves beneficial once the Stachowski trained horses get to a show. “When our horses get to the warm-up arena or a show ring, they aren’t going to be bothered by anything,” says Tom. “They’ve seen it all already just being worked here at home.”

Leah Beth Golladay

With the farm’s successes and highly organized environment, it’s no wonder they attract top talent.

Leah Beth and John are looking forward to joining the team. “We are really excited to be a part of such a successful program. They have great horses, great customers and we are looking forward to the opportunity,” she says. The couple and their two children are in the process of moving from their current location to Ohio.

The California facility is home to trainer Jonathan Ramsay. Part of the team since 2010, he has amassed countless awards for himself and coached a very successful team of amateurs and junior riders. Wyatt Budd will soon join him. Having worked for the Stachowski team before, Wyatt is excited to return. “Jimmy, Peter, Jon ... they are all very motivated, hard-working people,” he says.

“Jimmy always has a carefully thought out plan for everything and it’s the reason everything runs as smooth as it does,” he says. “I’m very happy to be headed back to California.”

Besides amassing a team of talented, well-respected and successful trainers, the Stachowski brothers have an incredible breeding program that has produced champion Arabians, HalfArabians and Saddlebreds.

BREEDING CHAMP IONS Standing at Stachowski Farms are some of the most sought-after stallions in both the Arabian and Saddlebred communities. Notable Arabians standing at the Ohio site include Black Daniels (Noble Express x Victoria Bay), HA Toskcan Sun (Baske Afire x Matoska), SF The Patriot (Allience x Spectra PR), Thee Donald (SF Aftershoc x Ghazis Flaminstar), QH Serengeti (Black Daniels x My Love Song) and VJ Royal Heir (Afires Heir x MA Ghazta Trot).

The Saddlebred stallions include Art of the Deal (Nutcracker’s Nirvana x Use Your Illusion), Noble Braveheart (Callaway’s Northern Kiss x Fort Chiswell’s Retained Assets) and Nutcracker’s Nirvana (Undulata’s Nutcracker x Kingwood’s Harlem Harlem).

Wyatt Budd

With access to the most sought-after Arabians and Saddlebreds in the country, the farm’s breeding program has achieved international success. The Stachowski team is constantly helping breeders in their pursuits. Peter and Jim regularly travel across the country evaluating breeding stock and upcoming youngsters; they are both willing to share the knowledge they have both accumulated over the years to assist breeders in making the best decisions for their programs.

“We have been evaluating, studying and researching bloodlines almost since we started getting serious about riding,” says Jimmy.

Ar abian Horse Times | 130 | USN Rose Report

Those decades of learning have resulted in the production of countless national champions for their farm and for their customers.

With the show ring successes for themselves and their riders, a successful breeding program and training team, the Stachowski Farms program is like no other.

“I grew up watching them,” Tom says of Jimmy and Peter. “It is kind of cool now, getting to ride with them everyday. I’m still learning from them, and from all of the other trainers. We are a group of people who all like each other. We’re friends who get to ride horses together every day; I don’t know how it could be any better.”

“It’s something to watch,” says Tom. “This entire team and what they accomplish in one day and every day, is amazing. We have the greatest group of caretakers in the industry. It is so organized and that’s the only way it could work. There’s not another model like this out there.

Mikey Clark

The farm loves for their clients and friends to visit and watch the little horse show that happens every day in both Ohio and California. It’s important to both Peter and Jimmy that their clients get to enjoy their horses and socialize with friends at the farm, because that is what it is all about. They have a great group of clients and everyone roots for the team.

And what better way for the team to kick off 2020 than with their annual sale at the Scottsdale Show. Hosted at the Cedar Ridge Farms facility, dates and times will soon be announced for this fantastic presentation. Everyone is invited to attend and see the exciting new prospects available. ■

So, plan a visit to Mantua and San Marcos. Jim, Peter and all the trainers welcome everyone to stop in anytime. The Stachowski team is ready to show you some great horses and breeding stallions, as someone is always home and can arrange a showing any day—weekdays, weekends, even holidays!

Thank you for everything you have done to make this an unforgettable show season! What an amazing way to end a truly incredible year.

Favorite Moments ...

“Without a doubt, watching my husband, Doug, not only win his first U.S. National Championship, but win two.”

—Kristi Stewart “Truth be told, this experience occurs every year with our barn, McNutt Performance Horses. When the Reining Amateur awards presentation commences, invariably all or nearly all of the clients are gathered. We chat, laugh, visit, catch up and congratulate those prize recipients. Yes, many barns have this camaraderie. No doubt they value these moments too. But there’s something about ‘hanging out’ before, during and after the Reining Amateur awards presentation that just warms my heart.”

—Catherine Cole Ferandelli “Every ride and reining pattern with my three horses felt like we were 100% in sync. It felt like we had taken every step before, even with my 4-year-old H/A, The Golden Child RA, who had never been to nationals! All Maxed Out RA settled and finally showed well in an indoor area, and Where’s Wanda RA, my 8-year-old H/A always does her job and I finally trusted her to do her thing. It was my best nationals ever! I am so lucky to have such amazing horses and a trainer and sister (Crystal) who is always pushing me to grow and learn.” —Cotton McNutt

“Being named Top Ten in English Pleasure and Native Costume after being completely absent from the show ring for 30 years! I hoped to make a cut and never even dreamed that I would bring home four top ten trophies. I have personally never achieved this level of success at U.S. Nationals in my entire youth career. So happy to be back with ChriShan Park and achieving this type of success!” —Kristen Wiley “John Ames’ speech and the Bronze given by Joel Kiesner. Also, the dueling pianos before the Futurity classes.” —Travis Rice

ARABIAN ENGLISH PERFORMANCE ASSOCIATION $100,000/$50,000 SADDLE SEAT FUTURITIES 2019 marked the 12th year of running the $100,000 and $50,000 AEPA Futurities and once again, they were fabulous!

We had a great audience for the patterns classes, and without question, the quality of horses was the deepest ever. We did have some glitches as the class began when the high and low scores were not dropped as they should have been, but we were able to rectify that fairly quickly. Unfortunately, a couple scores were never announced.

As President of the AEPA, I am authorized to sit in center ring and make sure these issues don’t arise, but when Conway Arabians has an entry in the class (as we did this year) I felt the appearance of doing that would not be ideal. Since our entry did not make it into the Top Ten, I was in center ring for the final. We do review the protocols with everyone before the class begins but clearly, sometimes in the moment things can still get missed.

I was asked how the drawing for the “order of go” is conducted.

This is done by a random computerized draw using AHA staff and computers. The entire class list is in the computer which then spits out the “order of go” after randomizing it. Although AEPA

representatives are present when the list is generated, they have no direct involvement in the process. After the list is generated, it is examined to make sure the same rider does not have horses with no gap in between them. If that were to occur, the first of the two horses would be moved FORWARD on the list to create a gap. I know this situation has not happened in the last several years and no changes have been made to the original computer-generated list.

The same method is used for order of entry into the Finals class, although there cannot ever be a need to change it since no two horses have the same rider.

I am very proud of the program and the impact it is having on our English division. Anyone paying attention can see the trend towards ever more gifted horses.

A huge THANK YOU to all the stallion owners that enroll their stallions and make this whole thing work.

Please buy a breeding in the upcoming AEPA Stallion Services Auction and support these National classes, the Buckeye and Scottsdale Amateur classes.

ARABIAN HUNTER PLEASURE ASSOCIATION $75,000 HUNTER PLEASURE FUTURITIES It was another great year for AHPA and our $75,000 Arabian and Half-Arabian Hunter Pleasure futurities at Nationals. I am in awe at what this amazing program has become in such a short period of time.

At the 2019 U.S. Nationals, 55 horses competed in the AHPA Royal Arabians Arabian Hunter Pleasure Futurity and the AHPA Fan Stable, Inc. Half-Arabian Hunter Pleasure Futurity. What made this year really special was being a part of the Arabian Horsemen’s Distress Fund (AHDF) fundraising event. Showcasing the AHPA, AEPA, AWPA Purebred Arabian classes along with the Purebred Mare Halter class was such a great idea. Raising more than $100,000 for the AHDF was even better!

The AHPA Board of Directors kept busy this year, developing new ideas to attract more horses to the program and improve upon last year’s classes. We always want to improve upon what we’re doing, whether it’s for the competitors, founders or sponsors. This year, we welcomed three new board members (Carrie Olson, Laura Rubin and Colleen Scott) and put them to work right away. One of the ideas we implemented this year was hosting Happy Hour at our booth. And we didn’t do just one– we did three! It was a great way to get competitors together, meet new people and introduce our program to people who might not have been aware of the AHPA.

AHPA Royal Arabians $75,000 Arabian Hunter Pleasure Futurity Champion TN KHALIENTE (SF Veraz x TN Khemarie) Exhibitor: Justin Cowden | Owner: Tom & Leola Hansen Breeder: Julia Neufeld

Something the board is particularly proud of is helping the Arabian Youth Association raise funds at Youth Nationals. Piggybacking on the success of the 2018 U.S. Nationals’ “Lucky Ponies” (stuffed ponies available for purchase that are delivered to fellow exhibitors wishing them luck), the AHPA lent their time and resources to the Youth National organizers, helping them market and sell ponies. With AHPA’s help, they tripled the funds they raised from the prior year.

I think our biggest accomplishment for 2019 is actually taking place in 2020. With great mystery and anticipation, AHPA unveiled plans for the 2020 AHPA Hunter Pleasure AOTR Maturity classes at the Scottsdale Arabian Horse Show in February. These classes will be run as Jackpot classes with 75% of the AHPA entry fee being part of the prize payout. The two classes are also open to all AHPA nominated horses that are 5 and over. As expected, this announcement created quite a bit of chatter at Nationals this year. People are excited for the opportunity to show these nominated horses again.

The AHPA classes continue to grow beyond our expectations so we are truly blessed. We have great Founders, Sponsors, Exhibitors, and Volunteers that make all the planning and “work” worth it.

We had over 100 horses nominate for 2020, so we are headed towards another amazing year. The old saying “build it and they will come,” rings true with AHPA.

ARABIAN WESTERN PLEASURE ASSOCIATION $100,000 PUREBRED & $50,000 HALF-ARABIAN FUTURITIES $15,000 PUREBRED & HALF-ARABIAN MATURITIES All four of the AWPA classes in 2019 were impressive!

Entries increased, the quality of the horses shown was exceptional, and the future of the Arabian Western Pleasure horse is bright!

We kicked off the classes this year with a new twist. It’s very different to assess the horses from center ring versus the stands, so at the suggestion of one of our Board members, at Canadian Nationals two judges were asked to evaluate the class from the stands during the rail portion of the class. This went very well, and it was continued at U.S. Nationals.

The purebred Futurity, kicking off the Friday evening Stars Come Out At Night session, was extremely exciting! We were thrilled to be part of that special evening and have the opportunity to show off the incredible 4-year-old western horses to a packed house.

The AWPA is very fortunate to have a generous group of sponsors that make these classes the absolute BEST. The Futurity naming sponsors, the Arabian Horse World magazine and Equine Athlete Veterinary Services, allow us to give a significant amount of prize money to the top ten winners.

MagnaWave Services and All Things Equine provide the ability for entries to receive awards, additional prize money and fun items in the Exhibitor Bags.

In Tulsa, we had our first Welcome Party thanks to the Pitassi Family and Kharismatic PGA. It was well attended, and we hope to be able o offer a catered dinner again next year since it was such a big hit!

The Exhibitor Bags have become a cornerstone of the program, and we must thank those people who made this year’s the best yet: Avonlea Arabians & Onyx A (Richard & Gail Whittaker and Anne Keller), Monticello V (Carolyn Lesley), Alistar Arabians (Kim Butler and Jim Blevins), Palmetto Arabians (Frank & Sara Chisholm and Sarah O’Brien), Randy Sullivan’s Training Center and Dr. Kirk & Tracy Smith.

Thank you to Spitfyre VF (Mike & Sheena Steenhart) and Schneiders for their support of the Exhibitor Bags at Canadian Nationals. We also appreciate the Northwest Stallion Futurities (Rod Powell, Deb Witty & Mike McHugh) for sponsoring the Maturity belt buckles.

The incredible support the AWPA has received from stallion owners, mare owners, futurity and maturity entrants, trainers and sponsors has been amazing. We could not offer this program without ALL of you!

Arabian Professional & Amateur Horseman’s Association TRAINER CHALLENGE CUP

his year, 2019, marks the inaugural Arabian Professional & Amateur Horseman’s Association (APAHA) Trainer Challenge Cup.

The APAHA Trainer Challenge Cup was awarded to the winning trainer in each of 13 futurity classes at this year’s U.S. National Arabian & Half-Arabian Championship Horse Show in Tulsa, Okla. This award is given annually as a recognition of the talent and dedication required to successfully introduce young prospects into the performance, halter and working western disciplines.

If and when a trainer wins the APAHA Trainer Challenge Cup three times, the Cup is permanently retired to that trainer’s barn and the trainer receives a check from APAHA for $500.

“This Trainer Challenge Cup exemplifies the part of APAHA’s mission statement that points to the pursuit of excellence in all things related to our sport,” said John Ryan, APAHA President. “We want to continue to recognize and reward those who are turning out great horses on a consistent basis.

It is a nice complement to the other programs in our breed that recognize breeders and owners,” he added.

Each Trainer Challenge Cup has been made possible by generous sponsors who committed to support the program for a minimum of three years. According to Katie Harvey, Vice President of APAHA, “when we first gauged sponsor interest, it was quickly noted that this type of program was something sponsors were interested in. They recognize the value of supporting trainers and their talents.”

“From a trainer’s perspective, it is a nice nod of recognition for bringing these babies along and winning a class that is awarded based on the future of our breed,” said Crystal McNutt, winner of the 2019 U.S. National Half-Arabian Reining Horse Futurity.

The Trainer Challenge Cup is one of many programs that APAHA supports. APAHA is a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting a fair and level playing field in the horse show arena, the kind and ethical treatment of horses and people, and the promotion of excellence in all things related to the Arabian horse.

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.

PREVIOUS INSTALLMENT: Large Breeders (Part I of II) - Vol. 50, No. 3, pages 120-123 Large Breeders (Part II of II) - Vol. 50, No. 4A, pages 86-89

Small Breeders (Part III) - Vol. 50, No. 4AA, pages 164-167 Amateurs (Part IV) - Vol. 50, No. 5A, pages 236-239

People Who Have Left or Stopped Breeding (Part V) - Vol. 50, No. 5AA, pages 174-177 FINAL UPCOMING INSTALLMENT: A Conversation with ... AHA

In This Installment Consistent themes (which are more obvious when reading the full interviews online): • Interviewees consistently commented on the strong sense of community around them with words like “welcoming”, “tightknit”, “inclusive”, “engaging”, “fun”, “positive” and “supportive.”

• Market values for breeders in racing has dipped, but perhaps only temporarily. Market values for endurance is struggling internationally, but largely “neutral-to-healthy” domestically.

• Racing is short on numbers primarily because so many are sold/exported overseas to feed the international market.

• Many felt like their sports were not embraced by the Arabian horse community and identified themselves more with their sport than the Arabian horse community, even though their loyalty and passion for the breed was significant. Many also expressed interest in being more embraced by the Arabian horse community if it were possible.

• It is important to consider that both of these sports offer significant platforms to expose the Arabian horse to external audiences, in contrast to Arabian horse shows.

For full disclosure, I (Evie Tubbs Sweeney, author) am an active participant in Arabian racing. I am not active in the sport of endurance.

AHT STATE OF THE BREED A Conversation With Racing / Endurance Participants (Part VI of VI) MICHELLE MORGAN Aubrey, TX

Owner of Mandolynn Hill Farm and Past Chairman of the Arabian Racing Cup How long have you been involved with Arabian horses, and specif ically the sport of racing? Showing Arabians 1987, started racing 1991.

Do you actively breed for racing? If so, how would you describe the current resale climate (both domestic and international)? Do you see it shifting (up or down) in the next f ive years? Up until last year, I was actively breeding for racing; however, I am now retiring from breeding.

As much as I love it, I am getting older, and breeding is a long process.

DEBORAH MIHALOFF Doswell, VA

CRE Run Farm How long have you been involved with Arabian horses, and specif ically the sports of racing? I have been breeding Arabians for 40 years. I had always wanted to breed an Arabian racehorse and chose bloodlines that emphasized that proven ability.

Do you have a career outside these sports? If so, how fulf illing is your involvement in endurance to offset the stresses of ‘the real world’ for you? Please rate between 1 (not fulf illing) and 10 (very fulf illing, couldn’t be better). Yes, I have been very fortunate because my vocation and avocation were the same. Selling insurance allowed me the opportunity to travel around the world to view the very best and proven horse farms in the world. Definitely a 10.

Do you see yourself as a vital part of the Arabian horse community? Or is racing separated in your mind from the “Arabian Horse Community”?

I believe Arabian racing should be a vital part of the Arabian horse community. It is not at this time. The greatest breeding programs around the world have used racing as a culling tool for their breeding programs. This was done for a reason. I have always wanted to breed horses that could race and be shown in halter. I have always wanted my Arabian racehorses to demonstrate Arabian type. In contrast, some in the show world have forgotten form-to-function. Some of the breeding traits that the show world has embraced I do not totally agree with. Yes, they have bred the most beautiful creature in the world, but can it breathe and have the endurance ability its ancestors were bred for? Does it have the heart it takes to really be a winner?

I think the market is coming back and will get stronger. There is a difference in domestic and international prices. I believe this is due to the fact that most international buyers are looking for stakes winners, so the price is higher.

As a racing enthusiast, do you feel supported and valued by the Arabian horse community? I can only speak for the Arabian racing community itself, as that is who I have contact with. From the very beginning, I’ve felt it was a very friendly, helpful group of people. I think if you called anyone in racing and needed some help getting started, they would be glad to. It is a strong, tight-knit and supportive community to belong to.

Conversely, what things (if any) discourage or dissatisfy you?

We (Arabian racing) are a small part of a larger horse industry (horse racing) that is governed by state regulatory bodies that differ in each state. Race dates are given out each year to the various tracks around the country and dates are changed. We need consistency with our race schedule so race meets don’t overlap and conflict with other meets.

We just don’t have enough horses to fill all these races. Our voices are not always heard at the state level and can affect the amount of purse structure allowed the Arabians for racing at any given track.

We have had our challenges because of it. We have wet the betting public’s appetite with racing horses that run truer to form then the Thoroughbreds. This means usually the favored wins. This is great for the betting public and tracks have noticed this. There are more tracks that would love to have Arabian racing at their tracks, but we cannot fill their cards. We have a limited number of owners, trainers and horses. There is much room for growth and interest; we simply cannot keep up with it.

As a racing enthusiast, do you feel supported and valued by the Arabian horse community? If you answered “no,” does this bother you? No, I don’t feel we are supported, and, yes, it does bother me. I wish the Arabian show world would take an interest in racing and learn the attributes racing develops in a horse. I wish they would realize the amount of free promotion and breed exposure Arabians receive when they race. If more people raced, we could have more races and reap even more exposure that would benefit all Arabian horse breeders.

Anything you’d like to add that we haven’t covered? I wish some of the AHA Clubs would plan a race day for their club, so their members could experience Arabian racing first-hand.

AHT STATE OF THE BREED KATHY SMOKE Britton, MI

Owner of Mokee Arabians and Past President of the Arabian Jockey Club How long have you been involved with Arabian horses, and specif ically the sports of racing? We have been involved in racing Arabians for 27 years.

I was always interested in racing, not in showing.

Do you actively breed for racing? If so, how would you describe the current resale climate (both domestic and international)? Do you see it shifting (up or down) in the next f ive years? I have always bred for performance horses with an emphasis on racing lines... Sambor, Orzel, Kontiki,

GARRETT FORD

Wielki Szlem. Mostly I looked for the Kuhailin Haifi lines crossed with the Mlecha Polish dam lines. It was only in the early 2000’s that I began outcrossing to the French lines. Race performance lines are athletic enough to do many disciplines successfully. The biggest issue we have in the USA is that we continue to breed great racing lines that are coveted around the world. We are always short on horses, as they still sell overseas. We need more breeders to keep the pipeline full for racing here in the USA. After a long and slow downward spiral, our numbers are finally improving, just not fast enough.

Do you see yourself as a vital part of the Arabian horse community? Or is racing separated in your mind from the “Arabian Horse Community”?

I really only see myself as a vital part of the racing community.

last ten years. I would categorize it as neutral-to-healthy. Because there are so few horses, well-bred horses are pretty easy to sell. The supply is greater than the demand. The international market has seen some decline because of all the negativity around endurance in the Middle Eastern countries.

Durango, CO

ENDURANCE & ARABIAN RACING Altitude Arabians (Breeds for and actively competes in both endurance and track racing) How long have you been involved with Arabian horses, and specif ically the sports of endurance/racing? I rode Tevis in ’83, and had Arabians for a year or two before that.

Do you have a career (not precluding parenting!) outside these sports? If so, how fulf illing is your involvement in the endurance to offset the stresses of ‘the real world’ for you? Please rate between 1 (not fulf illing) and 10 (very fulf illing, couldn’t be better). Yes. I’d give it an 8. This community is welcoming, encouraging, engaging. Any horse or rider can enter. You camp in a group atmosphere. It offers so much camaraderie.

Do you actively breed for endurance/racing? If so, how would you describe the current resale climate (both domestic and international)? Do you see it shifting in the next f ive years? Yes, I breed for both endurance and track racing. The domestic market in endurance has been the same for the

BOB SPOOR

Regarding the market for track racing, the market is experiencing a dip at the moment, due primarily to the recent DNA rulings of one particular breeder, which is unfortunate.

Do you see yourself as a vital part of the Arabian horse community? Or are the endurance and racing communities more separated in your mind?

I see myself as more a part of the endurance community than the Arabian horse community. I’ve never really felt part of the Arabian horse community. That could be because I grew up in endurance and it’s never been an association. The reason I have Arabians is because they are the best at endurance, not because I have a connection to AHA. And it doesn’t bother me.

What part of endurance is most fun and fulf illing to you? Daily time with horses, and the experience of being on a good horse in beautiful country away from people. I like the process of the training and conditioning more than the racing.

I would give a 10. As physically demanding as it often is, it’s a wonderful stress reducer.

San Rafael, CA

ENDURANCE How long have you been involved with Arabian horses, and specif ically the sports of endurance? I did my first endurance ride in 1980 and have been actively competing since then.

Do you have a career (not precluding parenting!) outside these sports? If so, how fulf illing is your involvement in the endurance to offset the stresses of ‘the real world’ for you? Please rate between 1 (not fulf illing) and 10 (very fulf illing, couldn’t be better). I am the owner of a masonry company in the San Francisco Bay Area. Endurance racing has been a lifestyle which

What part of endurance is most fun and fulf illing to you? The pleasure I receive riding world-class athletes and the opportunity to race on some amazing racecourses that only our sport has access to.

Anything you’d like to add that we haven’t covered? I feel very fortunate to have found the enduring passion for Arabian horses and a challenging, unique sport. I encourage anyone that loves horses and also likes a challenge, to give endurance racing a try.

ENDURANCE

Winchester, VA

How long have you been involved with Arabian horses, and specif ically the sports of endurance? I’ve been participating in distance riding tests of one form or another since childhood, approximately 1970. I participated in crewing for my parents in their first endurance races in 1976, and started endurance racing myself in 1979. The family had Quarter Horses and other grade horses at first, but has focused mostly on Arabians since about 1976.

What percentage of your endurance horses are registered purebred Arabians? 95% What part of endurance is most fun and fulf illing to you? I got into endurance because I saw it as crucially important to healthy equine genetics at a very young age. The close relationship to the most uniquely definitive functional aspects of equines makes distance testing a wonderful window connecting people to the core of what it means to be a horse.

CHRISTOPH SCHORK Moab, UT

ENDURANCE How long have you been involved with Arabian horses, and specif ically the sports of endurance? About 40 years.

What percentage of your endurance horses are registered purebred Arabians? 70% What part of endurance is most fun and fulf illing to you? Fifty-mile races are the most fun. Interesting terrain is important to me.

As an endurance enthusiast, do you feel supported and valued by the Arabian horse community? If you answered “no,” does this bother you? Yes … kind of.

Past President of the Tevis Cup. Also rode and finished in 2019 Tevis Cup at 75 years old How long have you been involved with Arabian horses, and specif ically the sports of endurance? I been involved in the sport of endurance riding for 49 years.

Do you have a career (not precluding parenting!) outside these sports? If so, how fulf illing is your involvement in the endurance to offset the stresses of ‘the real world’ for you?

Please rate between 1 (not fulf illing) and 10 (very fulf illing, couldn’t be better). I’m retired now, but when I was working, I loved coming home, saddling up my Arabian, and going for a trail ride ... absolutely, a 10.

What percentage of your endurance horses are registered purebred Arabians? 100%

Do you see yourself as a vital part of the Arabian horse community? Or is the endurance community separated in your mind from the “Arabian Horse Community”? Separated from the Arabian horse community.

What part of endurance is most fun and fulf illing to you? I love the many hours I spend training for the endurance competitions.

The competition is secondary to me.

Conversely, what things (if any) discourage or dissatisfy you? People who hold no regard for their animals.

As an endurance enthusiast, do you feel supported and valued by the Arabian horse community? If you answered “no,” does this bother you? No, I can’t’ say that I do. And, sure, it bothers me. The endurance Arabians are truly athletes. To touch, feel, to look into their beautiful eyes is truly an honor and breathtaking!

At this very moment, how committed are you to staying in this sport (and Arabian horses) for the next f ive years? Ten years? Indef initely?

As long as I’m alive I will have an Arabian horse in my pasture. Be that one year or 20.

Part VII in following issue ...

Frank and Carol Hennessey of Hennessey Arabians along with the Ocala Equestrian Academy, played host to over 300 residents of On Top Of The World 55+ Active Adult Retirement Community in Ocala, Florida on November 13th. It was a night of selfies, carrots and personal introductions to the world of Arabian horses. Guests from the community were greeted at the gate on a Wednesday evening with a carrot bag filled with goodies, an open barn for a hands-on welcome by the farm’s award-winning breeding horses, and demonstrations of the various disciplines by OAE students of Elizabeth Pizzonia. The crowd was entertained by farm manager George Z and Frank, with stories on how Arabian horses add to our lives and the endless ways a newcomer could get more involved with the breed.

Dinner and prize raffles included riding lessons, hats and VIP tickets to performances

by Sylvia Zerbini. A simple newspaper invitation advertisement for the 3-hour event to a community right down the road was placed in hopes the programs would have a couple dozen folks to share their horses with. When over 300 called wanting to attend ... it just goes to show there is interest out there. We simply need to invite them in!

Planning your own outreach event?

Keep it easy and you don’t need to break the bank! Remember, our beautiful animals take care of most of the work already. They are the star attraction. When introducing new people to Arabians, a simple explanation of the history of the breed with a selection of a few horses to demonstrate their versatility is all you need. Let folks get up close and put their hands on them. In this case, the tables were decorated with horse show ribbons and rose garlands. The farm purchased wine bags with their logo on them to work as carrot bags. They were stuffed with two issues of Envision, a refrigerator magnet and a farm trifold brochure. Just the right amount of gifts to bring home to further learn about their magnificent new experience. A few raffle prizes and some refreshments … presto … a Mane Event!

Outreaching Beyond Our Community Red, White & Boots

Sunday, November 2, 2019 | 3pm-6pm Hosted by Rohara Arabians in partner with Wounded Warrior Project Micanopy, Florida

DESCRIPTION OF THE EVENT: Rohara Arabians welcomed many longtime friends and clients, as well as new and non-horse owners, to a special event to honor and support America’s injured veterans and their families. The presentation of exquisite Arabian horses, including recent national champions, was a wonderful opportunity to introduce people who are unfamiliar with our breed to their unique and special characteristics.

It was a very inspiring and meaningful afternoon as wounded warriors Dan Nevins, master of ceremonies, and veteran Mark Lalli shared their stories of service, tragedy, resilience and the transformation made possible through the support of the Wounded Warrior Project. Rohara also added a silent auction to their event with all funds going to the Wounded Warrior Project.

To request copies of Envision issues, email Hannah at envision@ahtimes.com Ar abian Horse Times | 262 | Volume 50, No. 6

Roxann Hart commented, “We are extremely grateful to all our veterans for their service and sacrifice. We were introduced to the Wounded Warrior Project through our friend Brea Kratzert Todd, the Wounded Warrior Support Business Development Vice President.

“We feel our service men and women are often forgotten and don’t get the support or the resources needed during and after their time of duty. So, when we heard about the Wounded Warrior Project, we immediately knew we wanted to contribute to the effort.

We feel fortunate to enjoy the freedoms we have in this country and were delighted to host this event honoring these American heroes. We hope others will join us in supporting them by visiting the Wounded Warriors website and contributing to this cause.”

Together we can make a difference!

THE PYRAMID SOCIETY’S GOLDEN ANNIVERSARY

by THERESA CARDAMONE

Since 1981, the Pyramid Society has hosted the Egyptian Event in Lexington, Kentucky, USA. Devoted to the promotion of straight Egyptian Arabian horses, over the years it has become a model for similar Events held in countries around the world. The 2019 edition of the Egyptian Event was especially meaningful as the Pyramid Society was celebrating its Golden Anniversary. The Society’s Executive Director, Cynthia Culbertson, is proud of that achievement. “For an organization dedicated to a specific bloodline of Arabian horses to have such longevity is rare,” she says. “In a larger context, the vision of the Society’s founders to preserve and protect these invaluable bloodlines has been an overwhelming success for 50 years.”

This year’s Golden Anniversary Celebration was graciously sponsored by Bait Al Arab, the Kuwait State Stud, while many other generous sponsors from the United States and around the world supported the Event and several of its hallmark activities. Noted artist Karen Kasper, whose stunning bronze portrait of KA Damascus was unveiled at this year’s Event, has been attending ever since the first Egyptian Event in 1981. “It was truly magical,” she recalls.

Sandro Pinha was presented with the “Handler of Excellence” award for the 2019 Egyptian Event.

“There were over 50 straight Egyptian stallions that I had only seen in magazines, all brought together for the first time. El Hilal, Tuhotmos, Farazdac … it was a thrill I’ll never forget.” The Stallion Showcase is still an integral part of the Egyptian Event and includes opportunities for people to come down to see the horses up-close-and-personal, ask questions, and get a hands-on experience with straight Egyptian Arabian horses themselves.

In addition to the annual horse show, the Event always includes a number of educational elements. “One of the highlights this year was Joe Ferris’ presentation,” Kasper shares. “I daresay there are few people in the breed with his encyclopaedic knowledge of the Egyptian lines. He has travelled all over the country and personally filmed many Egyptian horses that are now a part of our history books. Joe’s presentation was very well attended—a walk back through 50 years of the Pyramid Society story— enjoyed by everyone present.” There was also a panel discussion peopled by some of the most prominent names in straight Egyptian Arabian breeding: Judith Forbis, Omar Sakr, Janice Bush and Jody Cruz. “It’s always great to see so many friends every year,” says Kasper. “It was like being at a family reunion. Everyone was relaxed and happy and could appreciate that this organization has stayed strong for such a long period of time when many breed organizations have not.”

Set in the world-famous Kentucky Horse Park, the Egyptian Event is visited by horse lovers of all kinds, which offers a golden opportunity to display the unique qualities of Arabian horses to people outside the breed. One special workshop showcased the intelligence and willingness of Arabian horses to work with humans. “Andres Castaño and Patrick Sullivan held a four-session seminar, ‘Glorious Geldings: Creating the Ultimate Equine Partner,’” Culbertson explains. “They took two completely untrained Egyptian Arabian geldings and showed their intelligence and trainability using natural horsemanship techniques. In each session, a bit more work was done. By the end of the show, they actually entered the arena riding the geldings.”

The horse show includes the hallmark Egyptian Breeders’ Challenge, an amateur-to-handle halter competition for offspring created through breedings purchased in a previous Event’s stallion service auction, with significant prize money up for grabs.

Overall, the quality of the horses at this year’s show was exceptional—an opinion shared by all who attended. Caiiro (Alixir x Good Faith) won both the Senior Champion Straight Egyptian Stallion title and the Most Classic Head award for owner Gail Ahrens, and Senior Champion Straight Egyptian Mare HC Abla El Saghira (Ali Reshan x Ravenwood Sensation)

Junior Champion Straight Egyptian Colt and Most Classic Head winner for owner Sharon Redman was Sentebale SA (Bellagio RCA x Kareena RCA) and the Junior Champion Straight Egyptian Filly award went to Ghuwa Al Rayyan (Ashhal Al Rayyan x Turkiya Al Rayyan), for Al Rayyan Stud.

Additional championships are held for Egyptian-sired horses, with the Egyptian-sired Champion Stallion title going to TF Dakkar (Botswana x CP Dakhota), who is proudly owned by Allison Mehta. The Egyptian-sired Champion Mare title went to AJS Sigis Belle (Marajh KA x Om El Badra), who is bred and owned by Al Jood Stud of Qatar. “Sigis Belle got the best of both parents,” says Al Jood owner Mohamed Jaidah. “And given that she so much represents the Om El Arab breeding philosophy, we decided to name her in honour of our dear friend, the late Sigi Siller. After AJS Sigis Belle conquered the 2018 Egyptian Event, she returned in 2019 to once again be crowned unanimous Gold Champion Egyptian-Sired Female. We are thrilled.”

While the Egyptian Event is clearly about the horses, it is equally clear that it is cherished for its value as a connection between people. The annual gala dinner, held at the Embassy Suites, was structured differently this year to promote more mingling and socializing. For example, rather than seat people around assigned tables of eight or ten, food stations were strategically located to encourage people to move about and join different conversation groups while they were enjoying the delicious repast. A highlight of the evening was a special anniversary film sponsored by a group of Kuwaiti straight Egyptian breeders.

During the course of the Event, the Society offered a gathering place with a special 50th Anniversary video tribute that played continuously.

They also offered another viewing station where all of the films ever produced by the Society were available to watch. “It was really fun to go by those chairs and see people laughing and pointing and having fun, celebrating the history and the people,” Culbertson reflects. “Today, straight Egyptian Arabian horses are being bred all around the world and continue to be a great influence within the larger Arabian breed. This means that the original mission of the Pyramid Society to preserve these horses because they are a special bloodline group should be celebrated. It is a mission accomplished.”

“My takeaway was how important the relationships are; the people, the history,” Cynthia Culbertson remarks. “That’s really what makes it great. To see people greeting other breeders from around the world or those who live closer but that you haven’t seen in a while. That camaraderie makes it really special.” Karen Kasper couldn’t agree more. “The camaraderie and mutual sharing of what we believe is so wonderful about these horses is what I look forward to every year. Many of us are getting to the age where we appreciate lifelong friendships, and some of the relationships that I value most in my life have been formed sharing the straight Egyptian Arabian horse with those who love it— at Egyptian Events past and present, and with its many dedicated breeders across the globe.”

The 2019 MAHB Fall Festival MN State Fairgrounds, St. Paul, MN | September 27-29, 2019

A

rabian Horse Fans,

Once again, the Minnesota Arabian Horse Breeders’ Fall Festival was a huge success. MAHB’s Board, Officers and Show Manager worked all year to make this the best Fall Fest ever and we are excited to announce that you have responded favorably to all our efforts. THE 2019 SHOW WAS UP 18% IN NUMBERS OF HORSES ENTERED AND AN ASTOUNDING 54% IN NUMBERS OF RIDES. Now that’s a success any way you measure it!

We welcomed competitors, horse owners and those who are new to the breed to visit the barns and the show ring to see some of the finest Arabian horses in the U.S. We had a special treat on Friday when some of our “old timers” were able to join us at the show and enjoy a lunch and the opportunity to see Arabians showing. The mid 1950’s thru the 60’s Minnesota Arabian Horse Assoc. was the only Arabian club in Minnesota and those members were a close-knit bunch. For many of them it had been years since they were able to make it to a horse show, but thanks to the generosity of Anita Anderson Grant, who orchestrated the outing and Lori Conway and MAHA who provided the lunch, a spectacular time was had by all. Joining us were Anita Anderson Grant, Ruby Stoklasa, Carol Carbonell (founding MAHA member), Mikey Hay, Patricia Fischer, Maxine Luger Gallett, Jerry Aldritt, Becky Bell, Jim Stepanick, Wayne Thompson, Barb & Dick Kiesner and Virg & Suzette Johnson.

Does this question sound familiar? What show can I compete at with my beautiful and quality Arabian horse where I can expect to have a genuine chance at success?

This, ladies and gentlemen, is the MAHB Medallion Fall Festival held the last weekend in September. This all-amateur to handle/ride event highlights some of the best teams in the country! The show continues to cultivate an exciting environment in which breeders can showcase their programs while earning substantial prize money. Smiles were abundant once again this year as numerous breeders and owners earned their way to the winner’s circle, and judges over the years have deemed it as one of their favorite shows to judge.

If you haven’t experienced the “Dreams Do Come True” feeling at the MN Fall Fest, I would urge you to get involved and come be a part of it!

—Jeff Schall, Shada Inc. Ar abian Horse Times | 274 | Volume 50, No. 6

I really enjoyed the 2019Fall Fest show. The MAHB group themselves are great people who really work hard to make you feel welcome before, during, and after the show. The show itself is truly fun to watch because of the quality of horses, the excellent horsemanship of the amateur handlers and riders, and, of course, the prize money available is better than basically any show you can attend across the country. Seeing horse and exhibitor win big checks with big amounts on them is always cool! The MAHB Fall Fest show and program should be part of every breeder and owner’s plans to show at, nominate for, and buy auction breedings at every year! —Tony Steiner

The 2019 Arabian National Breeder Finals & Silver Sire Futurity WestWorld, Scottsdale, AZ | September 25-28, 2019

T

he eagerly anticipated 2019 Arabian National Breeder Finals was filled with some of the most amazing horses in the world! Paying out more prize money than ever with over $80,000 being raised and paid out between the two yearling classes created a lot of excitement.

Always looking for ways to not only create a buzz in the industry but to introduce new people to the Arabian horse, the show committee made sure this event was hyped on four TV stations and talked about by Instagram influencers, bringing many new people to the show.

It is an honor to have been the Chairman of the Arabian National Breeder Finals show for the past two years. Since its inception in 2011, the show has grown to be a must-attend event with the highest caliber of horses competing. The red carpet is rolled out, farm cabanas built, and a beautifully decorated show arena makes for the perfect ambiance. The camaraderie amongst fellow Arabian horse enthusiasts is enjoyed by all.

An added highlight this year was the addition of $100,000 in prize money for the yearling colt and f illy classes. Also, returning for a second year was the Weanling AOTH class. It is a pleasure to see owners proudly presenting their foals, most for the f irst time.

The Arabian National Breeder Finals is going strong and we look forward to another great show in 2020. Hope to see everyone there!!! —Paul Glans

In Memoriam Robert Alan Janzen (2019) Al was a great friend to the Arabian horse as well as the Arabian horse community, having spent the better part of 20 years working within the breed at Liberty Meadows Training Center, Strand’s Arabian Stables, and Randy Sullivan Training Center. He was a dear friend to many who have and continue to work with Arabian horses. Al was always an uplifting person; his laugh and smile was contagious, and he would do anything to help those he considered his family. He will be greatly missed by his family and friends who became family. He leaves behind a son, Will, and his mother, Marian.

Ever After NA (2005-2019)

Ever After NA was born in March of 2005. He was sired by Sir Fames HBV, who Robert and I imported from Brazil. We bred his dam, Entaicying NA (Aicying x Bint Bay Beau, who herself was out of BF Bint Julie). She was 3 years old when I bred her (notice the “I”). Robert did not want to breed her, as that would make too many foals, but I wanted to breed her so badly to Sir Fames, that she miraculously conceived after one cover.

The night Ever After was born, I called Robert to the barn to see him. He responded, “Oh, it’s a colt; I will see him in the morning.” I said in return that he had better get down here NOW; he is very special. Going to his car, Robert did not think to open the garage door in the middle of the night and backed right into it. He was so impressed with the colt, that he did not even tell me until morning. Ever After was special from the start.

Ever After went on to earn Reserve National Champion Stallion at age three, both in Canada and at U.S. Nationals with Rodolfo Guzzo. He has left a huge legacy as a successful sire, with over 41 National winners plus many Regional champions. His offspring have excelled in halter, western, hunter, endurance, trail and as family horses.

He was a major part of our lives and he leaves a gigantic hole in our hearts. We are beyond devastated to have lost him at such a young age. RIP Ever After NA ... run in green pastures ForEver After. ~Dixie North

Sugar Mountain +// (2006-2019) Sugar Mountain was an icon and without a doubt, the greatest horse I have ever had a chance to own. He was a five-time National and Reserve National Champion and won countless Regional and Class A shows. He was not easy to ride, but so easy to love. Riding him was magic or tragic, but always so much fun!

“Stanley” was a giant goofball, and whether in crossties or in his stall, he would prance and nicker for treats and kisses. He could always be found at the front of his stall, ears forward ready to greet his visitors. He was tough, but Ryan Strand and the team at Liberty Meadows had an incredible way with him. At the end of the day, he just wanted love, hugs, and kisses which we showered him with. Everyone in the barn loved him and he knew it.

Suffering this kind of loss has made me think a lot about if riding is even worth it. It’s likely that we will outlive our best friends. The grief has been overwhelming, but Sugar Mountain ... you were worth it. ~Amber Stearns Ar abian Horse Times | 288 | Volume 50, No. 6

CORRECTION: In Vol. 50, No. 5A, page 173, Amateur/Owner Ann Cranmer Gauntlett was misquoted in her 2nd response. Her correct statement is as follows: If you could relive one horse related moment, what would it be and why? The amazing moment clasping hands with my dad when he finished the Tevis (I was his crew). I will forever be grateful to my parents for the upbringing I had with Arabian horses. I still have horses that go back in their tail female lines to the first foal born on my parents’ ranch—that was in 1963.
