FROM THE PRESIDENT

Together We Grow DEAR MEMBERS: For this issue, I thought I would give you some excerpts from my State of the Association Speech from the 2017 AHA Convention.

Good morning fellow officers, delegates, guests and staff. Welcome to Denver for the 2017 AHA Convention. This looks to be a great convention, and I hope you all will get involved to move this great Association forward.

This is my first speech to you as President, and I am truly honored to be able to serve you in this capacity. The state of our Association is good. Could it be better? Yes. We can always do better, but it will take us all working together to make improvements. This has been a very busy year for the Arabian Horse Association — our officers, our Board of Directors (BOD), the many volunteers, and our valued staff.

As part of Future State, the first phase was rolled out about a year ago with the implementation of a new accounting system — Multiview, and I am pleased to tell you that it was on-budget. The next phase, membership, is in full swing, and we are still on or under budget with a plan to rollout that phase at the end of February, 2018.

Thanks to the feedback of both our customers and employees, we learned a great deal from the accounting rollout and have made adjustments to the Future State project to make sure it stays on track and under budget as it has been so far. Again, thanks to feedback and subsequent changes to the order confirmation report, I am happy to report that the accounting department has again begun distributing “order confirmation” emails that now include payments, more detail on the transaction, and outstanding balances. The changes to this information were the result of feedback directly from our customers/ members, so thank you for your input.

In January, AHA hosted the first ever meeting of members who show mostly in the Breeding/In-Hand divisions. We listened to their concerns and suggestions to improve these divisions. I would like to thank Andy Sellman, Isaac Taylor and Lara Ames for their help with making changes to the U.S. National Show to improve the Breeding/In-Hand divisions of this year’s show. I believe this is a dramatic demonstration of what can happen when people work together for improvement.

This year marked the 15th Anniversary of the Sport Horse National Championship Show, the 25th Anniversary of the Youth National Championship Show, the 51st Annual U.S. National Championships and the 60th Annual Canadian National Championships. The Distance Nationals made the bold and successful move to expand their National Championships to continue to include other breed association’s National Championships.

The change and expansion were successful, and they are looking to expand further in 2018. What a testament to the Commissioners of these events and their dedication to their longevity and success.

In August, the Board of Directors created a new venue for entrylevel participants called the Arabian Value Show. This is an expansion on the Arabian One Day Show, but in a multiple day format. This will be rolled out for 2018 competitions to make shows more affordable in 4

arabian horse

Issue 6. 2017

areas with smaller horse populations. The AHA One Day Show program will go back to its original format utilizing “r” judges. The new AHA Value Show can be held for 1 to 3 days and can use small “r”, large “R’ or Specialty judges. The application, rules, and a Q & A for this new option can be found online shortly.

The world is changing quickly, and it is apparent that we as a group must change if we are to succeed. To that end, I have created an Ad-Hoc Committee to look holistically at the Regional Structure within AHA. This committee will have to work hard and quickly to determine what the best structure is for your Association.

We are all trying to determine how to move the Association forward and expand our portion of the equestrian customer base. I believe we need to work at the grass roots level and change the way we look at our goals. We need to refine our goals and pursue them with pin-point focus. We need to start thinking more about riding Arabians rather than owning Arabians. We have a great product, and if we get people riding, or even just experiencing our Arabians, the rest will come.

With our Tail Tours, Arabian fairs, and events, we have been very successful with the first touch of our horses — at the 2017 Sport Horse Nationals, the TAIL tours were so successful, they ran out of TAIL leaders. So we can get them to meet the horses, but how do we get them to the next level of a lesson and eventually riding all the time?

We need to utilize the programs we already have and the associations with whom we are partnered. We must create a system of local lesson programs that will give those people interested in spending time with an Arabian a place to go. We have many programs that already exist, but they are not being marketed to the masses — The Discovery Farm, A Time to Ride, Certified Horsemanship individually do not do the job, but as a group they can build the foundation for great local level outreach and be the building blocks to a successful future.

Frankly, we as horse people are not an easy group to talk to. We speak a different language from the people we are trying to attract. We need to make it easy for them to come to us. We must pursue “people who want to have a relationship with an Arabian or Half-Arabian” and not just those who might be buyers. I am creating an Ad Hoc Committee for grass roots development to look at the way we reach out, use the tools available, and find new tools to make it easy to ride and experience an Arabian horse.

We are all here together to make this Association better, and I look forward to a great convention full of spirited discussions and new and exciting directions for us. Recently, I found a pin from an IAHA convention from the 1980s, and its theme has stuck with me with its timelessness.

Together We Grow. It is a tribute to those before us who worked so hard to get us to this point and to those who are working hard to move us into the future.

Remember… Together We Grow.

Sincerely,

Nancy Harvey, AHA President nancy.harvey@arabianhorses.org

FROM THE EVP

State of AHA: Excerpts from the EVP Convention Speech DEAR MEMBERS:

I have been blessed to have had 10 years working with great Presidents, Executive Committees, Boards and delegates. Our system of governance is somewhat unique to our sister organizations. Appaloosas don’t have a convention. The American Quarter Horse Association, which has a board of over 120, effectively mimics our delegates. While our system isn’t perfect, it isn’t all bad either as it gives a broad voice to our membership.

AHA has a lot going on. Staff effort has included planning and conducting our national events, sanctioning of events and promoting the various programs within AHA, licensing and training show officials, promoting growth of registry work and membership, marketing, as well as keeping the infrastructure of AHA going by the various support departments. Extensive time by both the EVP as well as staff has been devoted to the Purebred Arabian Trust (PAT) vs AHA lawsuit over ownership of the AHA-funded Horse Registration System (HRS). Switching from Oracle Financials to Multiview accounting software has also been a major project. AHA contracted with the Canadian Horse Registry to provide AHA staff support to process registry work for CAHR. I, as well as others at AHA, have interacted with sister breed associations as well as the American Horse Council, United States Equestrian Federation, and other associations, to share ideas and glean valuable information from each other.

Regarding AHA’s financials, we are doing pretty well.

• Working capital has improved by $2 million over the past

eight years, remaining stable from Fiscal Year 2016 to Fiscal Year 2017 even with our legal issues.

• AHA has never seen such solid working capital in its history — both pre- and post-merger.

• Working capital has steadily improved during periods of declining membership, decreasing registrations, and expenditures for capital improvements.

• Capital improvements over the past eight years include: • Building roof • Building HVAC system • Office lighting • First floor and stairway carpeting • Website development • Financial software development 6

arabian horse

life

Issue 6. 2017

• Business information systems • Desktop computers • Computer servers and Business Technology (BT)

communications infrastructure • Office equipment • Not including HRS, capital improvements over the

past eight years totaled $1,473,000.

• We have accurate financial statements, solid business

analysis, and accurate budgeting.

• AHA continues to manage cash flow in order to maintain current operations, to provide for future needs, and to fund capital improvements.

• We have a total of $9.2 million invested.

Another factor of the “Modern Age” is Social Media. It is a factor of our times — for good or bad. What amazes me about it is that so many uninformed people who don’t come to Convention, or serve on committees or our board, are given credibility because they put something in writing online. It has been my and other AHA leadership’s policy to not get into online debate because there is no end to it. But to all of our members who do attend Convention and are directly involved in our industry who do speak from a knowledgeable position on AHA’s behalf — I say Thank You! All our sister organization EVPs join me in cringing when the term Social Media comes up. But when used in a positive way, Social Media can be beneficial and it is here to stay.

Future State, AHA’s modernization of all things BT, is continuing. Our BT Department leads this effort. Bill Richardson served as Program Manager for the project and got it off to a wonderful start. Jim Lawless, our BT Director, has now taken it on as we continue our BT modernization.

Our magazine, Arabian Horse Life, has made a transition to less of a show magazine and more of a member magazine going to all members. We are currently evaluating the magazine to see if it needs to evolve even more. We will also be surveying the membership to find out if it is serving them well and if it is desired as a membership benefit.

Expect more speech excerpts in the next issue of our magazine.

Sincerely,

Glenn T. Petty, Executive Vice President glenn.petty@arabianhorses.org

Padrons Psyche

A TRIBUTE TO THE KING

Gigi Grasso

THE KING HAS PASSED...

Padrons Psyche lived for 29 years.

Throughout that time, many people came into his life. Fortunately, Robert and I were two of them. Psyche was like a dream for us. When he arrived at our farm, he stood at the top of the trailer ramp, and neighed to the world, The King had arrived. It was an honor and great privilege to know this fiery copper red stallion. Psyche was very much a macho stallion, yet a small child could pet him. He was very careful with children. He filled our barn with his presence, and 9 years later, when he left, it was never the same.

Every time we presented Psyche to a crowd of people, there were many tears of emotion or goosebumps. I never got over the swelling of tears of emotion when he would trot around his pasture with such magnificent grace. He was just plain special, and he knew it.

Psyche was a ham! He loved showing off for people. Psyche knew there was only one King!

Psyche touched so many lives and made a difference as to the course those lives took. Robert and I built this farm for Psyche, and if he had not come into our lives, we would have lived out our lives on our small acreage that did not allow stallions. To Psyche we say Hail to the King. May you rule over the perpetual green pastures you are running in now. Always in our hearts.

A PARTNERSHIP LIKE NO OTHER...

Grandpa [Padrons Psyche] was my horse hero. He was everything I would wish for in an Arabian stallion. He was my friend and my soul mate. He taught me of loyalty, respect, friendship and love between a horse and a person. He showed me strength, power and fight.

He gave me all of him, and he had all of me.

I guess to the world he is a Legend, but to me he was my friend. I came to him when I was happy, when I was sad, when I just needed a hug, or someone I could tell my deepest secrets to. He was always there for me, no matter what.

He placed that pretty face of his into my arms, and I was at peace. He had a heart of gold, and he loved his people.

He has my heart and soul, and I will cherish the memories of us forever.

Maybe when my time on this Earth is done God will grant me my forever right next to him.

Rest in peace my beautiful soul.

I will miss you until then.

Chad Judy is a multi-National Championship winning trainer with Empress Arabians of Venetia, Pa., since 1995.

SIDE PULL BIT This bit is all about the pressure points that it sits on in the mouth. Much like a Dr. Bristol link, it has a broken mouth that allows contact on different pressure points. I also really enjoy that it has two places to hook my reins on giving me different pressures for whatever I am asking to do. The side pull is especially beneficial on heavy mouth horses that like to lock on to the bit. It helps teach them how to relax on the bit.

PERFECT BIT - D RING SMOOTH SNAFFLE This bit is my “go-to” basic bit. Its smooth mouth piece makes it comfortable in any horse’s mouth, and the swivel ends give it freedom of motion. I consistently use this bit for schooling sessions and lessons. Horses like being able to take a hold of it yet still respect the pressure it delivers.

SMART JOCKEY SURCINGLE I really love this smarter jockey surcingle! On any of my horses that like to carry their heads low, this surcingle makes long lining them so much better. Along with that, this surcingle puts your long lines more correctly where your hands would be if you were riding. That helps to carry over for when transitioning from driving to riding.

SIDE (BITTING) REINS I enjoy using side reins as a way to condition my horses. They apply a consistent pressure so that the horses can figure out how to release to the pressure. I have also found that the horses seem to get better timing when worked with side reins.

SOFT RIDE BOOTS One of the great things I have discovered, with the help of my vets, are Soft-Ride Boots. These boots travel with us to every horse show and are great in so many situations. If I’m at a show and I have a horse who seems to be getting a little foot sore, I’ll put these boots on and it makes them feel so much better! They are also a save if you have a horse pull a shoe and the farrier can’t get out to the barn for a couple of days, just put the boot on and the horses’ foot will stay in great shape! We do replace the insert for extra support they come with and use a foam type of insert found at Rood & Riddle Vet Hospital. www.softrideboots.com Issue 6. 2017

2017 Nationals get involved

We all love to see the winners, and in the following pages you will see only a fraction of the 2017 Champions. However, there is so much to these shows beyond the garlands, trophies, and long beautiful ribbons. There is an entire support team behind every horse and rider — grooms, trainers, parents, spouses, children — who work tirelessly and make sacrifices so horse and rider can be at their collective best. This opening shot to our show coverage says it all. Beyond the competition there is the love of family and the love of the Arabian horse that brings us all together even as we compete against one another.

Reagan Vokoun is a young lady with a bright future. In the Short Stirrup Reining 10 & Under division, she rode three horses, including the resulting Champion and Reserve Champion. Coming into the competition, her number one horse was BSF Marshall Dillon, a 10-year-old Quarter Horse/Arabian gelding (Were Dun x Absolute Algerina, by *Gondolier). The pair were Champions at the Scottsdale Arabian Show as well as the Region 10 Championship.

But in this competition, BSF Marshall Dillon was Reserve Champion. Instead, Ima Smart One (by the Quarter Horse stallion Im Genuinely Smart, out of MVA Scarlet Orzel+/ by Sir WM Drute) stepped up to win the Championship. At Scottsdale he was Reserve Champion.

This determined young rider will likely collect many more Championships in the years to come. n
