Bringing Arabian Horses to the People
DEAR MEMBERS: Happy Fall everyone. The time has once again flown by, and we are getting ready for the last events of our year. U.S. Nationals looks to be a wonderful show with about $1 million to be awarded from the various prize money programs; $300,000 coming on one night alone. This is the result of hard work by a lot of teams working together for a common goal, the success of our United States National show. The groups that put on our other events and shows work equally as hard and are just as passionate about their successes. Please thank them for their efforts and our sponsors for their donations. The Sport Horse National show was a great success — a little wet at times — but the new location of Crete, Ill. for 2019 was beautiful with welcoming people and a terrifically prepared facility. Then if you are in Tulsa, you should plan to go to the Distance Nationals as they are a short distance from the National show venue. Remember, any information you need on the national events may be found on our website — ArabianHorses.org. Now I would like to share with you a chance encounter I had with a lady a few years ago; a person I would describe as someone who could be identified as one of our target audiences. This very nice lady rides once a week to get a break from being in the middle of caring for her aging parents, taking her kids to their various events and working a full time job outside the home. She said she loves the barn where she rides and will ride a horse forever, even if she never owns one. The epiphany for me was how hard she said it was for her to make arrangements for a lesson or even learn about horses. She said “you-all speak a different language.” She wasn’t shy, so that wasn’t the issue. I pondered this and realized she was right. We tend to do things backwards, which, while not our fault, is just the way we have done it. We expect 8

the people to come to us. They don’t know who or where “us” is, and so we must go to them! Fast forward to 2019 and the Ad Hoc Local outreach committee. This is an extremely active group of people working at the local level. They developed, in only two months, the September 21st “Meet an Arabian Day” program that was held across the country. The part the Association played was to help those interested in hosting an event with logistics, insurance, financial support and marketing material development, including templates for promotion and give-away items. This was a pilot program, and the committee hoped for 10 to 15 groups to participate. To date, events have been held prior to September 21st, on September 21st and some are scheduled to be held soon. The total number of groups that have signed up for the pilot program is over 30! And each of the events had, on average, about 150 people in attendance. Thus, over a few weeks, across the country our Arabian horse ambassadors reached approximately 5,000 new people! What a great start and tribute to the lure of our beloved Arabian and Half/ Anglo-Arabian horses. Now we need to get feedback from both hosts and attendees to develop a plan for consistently having these events. Secondly, we would like to move the attendees to the next step, which is riding and spending time with an Arabian or Half/Anglo-Arabian horse and/or volunteering at an Arabian horse-related event. This program could not have been done without the financial support of both the Arabian Horse Association and the Purebred Arabian Trust. Many thanks to everyone for your hard work. Remember — new people don’t come to us. We have to go to them, and since we have such a great horse to share, one touch and they will be hooked! The 2019 Convention looks to be outstanding and hopefully fire-free. The schedule and organization of the convention has changed a bit to allow people to focus on collaboration and then get home sooner. Please make sure you check the schedule on the website prior to making your travel arrangements. We are all in this together, and if we work with one another we will be successful. Good luck to all and remember to enjoy the ride!

Breeding, DataSource, Amnesty & Sweepstakes
DEAR MEMBERS:
Breed associations provide many valuable services to their membership; one of the most important being the recording of ancestry, or pedigrees. Pedigrees are a valuable tool in breeding because these ancestral records provide knowledge necessary for predicting progeny performance. The Arabian Horse Association is a member of the National Pedigreed Livestock Council (NPLC). Debbie Fuentes, our Registrar, and I attend those meetings where we meet with fellow leaders of sister equine and livestock organizations that register animals in the U.S. and Canada. The common information we share is very useful. More value is added by recording individual and progeny performance records in our online studbook, DataSource. Performance traits are heritable and can be improved through selection. A permanent record of ancestors and their comparative traits and performance is an indispensable tool for breeders to make wise breeding decisions that lead to improved genetics. Pedigrees are of value in breeding our Arabian, Half-Arabian and Anglo-Arabians. The Certificate of Registration confirms the horse’s identification and lineage. You can also review the horse’s performance in DataSource. Additionally, a pedigree can be produced utilizing DataSource for over 1,000,000 horses domestically and 459,719 worldwide. In summary, a pedigree is an ancestral record of an individual animal. It has significant value because it is a recording of knowledge. Registered or pedigreed horses are highly rewarding for breeders as their breeding evolves. Producing superior horses through wise breeding decisions is extremely rewarding. There is the satisfaction of working through the Arabian Horse Association with people who have similar interests, ambitions and goals for their Arabian, Half-Arabian and 10

Anglo-Arabians. Please check the AHA website for information on the Amnesty Program going on through March 15, 2020 where horses over two years of age that are eligible for registration may do so at reduced fees. The Arabian Breeders Sweepstakes (ABS) Program, one of AHA’s prize money programs rewarding breeding, had big changes in 2019. The Sweepstakes Commission met with the U.S. National Show Commission last year and put into place a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) which added four new ABS AAO Jackpot classes (Arabian and HA/AA English Pleasure and Arabian and HA/AA Reining) at the 2019 U.S. Nationals and created the Last Chance Buy-In for horses which were not previously entered into the Sweepstakes Program. The Last Chance Buy-In category is also known as an “Original Entry,” which had been discontinued several years ago. This buy-in category was created via the MOU discussions with the U.S. National Show Commission in which they agree that they will not add any additional classes which conflict with the current approved Sweepstakes Amateur classes and the Sweepstakes Commission will allow horses to have a chance to enter the Sweepstakes Program up through October 15, 2019 and participate in the new ABS AAO Jackpot classes. After the October 15th deadline, the chance for entering a horse which is already on the ground will be discontinued permanently. In their MOU discussions, the Sweepstakes Commission felt they would be able to increase the Sweepstakes Fund by at least $600,000 through the implementation of the Last Chance Buy-In. As of writing this letter, we had 185 horses entered via the last Chance Buy-In which equates to $711,500. With this increase to the Sweepstakes Trust Fund, the Sweepstakes Commission created five new Sweepstakes-only classes in AAO Performance Halter, which will debut at the 2020 U.S. Nationals. These classes are for Arabian Stallion, Arabian Mare, Arabian Gelding, HA/AA Mare and HA/AA Gelding and will each have $15,000 available for payout. The ABS Program remains one of the longest running payback programs, having outlasted similar programs instituted by other breeds. Since its inception over 35 years ago, the Breeding Entry Category has been the backbone of the program. The original price for this entry was $300, and it has seen only one price increase, which took place in 2002, raising the price of this entry to $400. The Breeding Entry deadline is December 31st of the year the breeding took place. There is a late fee period for Breeding Entries, which runs from January 1st through February 15th of the foaling year. Please contact any of our Competition Programs Representatives for additional information on the Sweepstakes Program. Sincerely,
Glenn T. Petty Executive Vice President glenn.petty@arabianhorses.org

Mission Accomplished! Team USA Wins Gold; Boyd Martin is Individual Gold Medalists at 2019 Pan American Games By Erin Gilmore
RIGHT
THE SOUND OF VICTORY IN LIMA, PERU was the clink and clank of multiple gold and silver medals swinging from the necks of Boyd Martin, Lynn Symansky, Doug Payne, and Tamie Smith. It was the most welcoming noise that the U.S. Eventing Team and their supporters could have asked for after a long buildup to a tense week. From start to finish, Team USA held the lead in the threeday eventing competition at the 2019 Pan American Games, with Martin and Symansky completing their weekend on their dressage scores to earn individual gold and silver. “It is a big relief. We all worked very, very hard,” said Martin. “It’s good to pull it off.” “It” was more than just the reward of medals at these Pan Am Games, the big “it” was qualification for the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games. With only two qualifying spots available and all ten competing teams in the race to earn one, there was never going to be any room for error. After a strong cross-country day that saw Martin with Tsetserleg (Windfall x Thabana), Christine Turner’s 12-yearold Trakehner gelding (whose sireline traces to the Shagya Arabian Lapis), Team USA did one even better during the stadium jumping phase. They were the only team of the competition to complete with all four riders, and the only team to see all four riders jump clear. Team USA coach Erik Duvander spent most of the weekend behind a pair of sunglasses, smiling infrequently and quietly focusing on the ultimate goal. So it was he who perhaps smiled the widest when Martin sealed the win.

There are two talented geldings, both with Arabian blood running through their veins, that are successfully competing at the highest levels of international 3-day eventing. Read more about Tsetserleg and Vermiculus below as both will be pointing towards the 2020 Olympics in Tokyo, Japan.
“I’m just honestly really pleased to be part of this group,” he said. “It’s sort of like all the way through the last 18 months I’ve been at war. I’ve seen how much work these guys put into it and the preparation and how much it means to them and I couldn’t wish for a better ending with four clear rounds. They deserve the medals that are hanging around their necks.” n

12-year-old Anglo-Arabian gelding (Serazim x Wake Me Gently), jumped a picture-perfect clear round on the last day to bump up from 11th to 9th place, the highest finish for any U.S. competitor “I am thrilled with him. He is a younger horse, and he was a proper Burghley horse this weekend, so I am really excited for the future,” said Kieffer. “I can kind of tell him from here on out it is a bit easier. I am not sure if we will ever do a track again that was as big and hard as yesterday’s was,” she said after completing the cross country course clear with only time penalties. Hopefully he grows up a lot from that and we can keep tackling big courses.” Kieffer and Vermiculus were one of only 10 clear show jumping rounds. “I thought they did a really good job with the show jumping course,” she said. “They were definitely a bit kinder about the lines and giving more time between the combinations to give the horses time to take a breath and get going again. It wasn’t the hardest, most technical course, but considering what the horses had to deal with yesterday I thought it was a very fair course.” n

*Ecaho
March 1, 1990 – August 21, 2019
(*Pepton x Etruria)
THERE ARE SOME HORSES THAT ARE LARGER THAN LIFE, and I have been blessed to have two amazing stallions —
Ecaho and Ganges — capture my heart and give me precious memories for a life time. The Arabian horse world lost 29-year-old Ecaho — one of the true icons, a legend that will live on in his amazing offspring that will carry his legacy in the future. The first time I saw Ecaho, at the 1995 Polish National Show, I was totally blown away. This silver-grey stallion had a charisma and a beauty that I had never seen before. To this day, I can honestly say that no stallion can compete with Ecaho when it comes to presence and charisma. He was unique! When we had presentations in Santa Ynez, he had to come out last as he blew everyone away, and all other horses faded. That time at Janow Podlaski, I could never dream of how Ecaho would be such a huge part of my life and that I actually would be his last owner together with Joaquin Bin. I am honored and truly blessed to have all the memories and experience so many moments with this great stallion as well as having seen so many of his precious foals being born. The next one I expect will be born in May 2020 out of my Ganges daughter. Ecaho was the sweetest stallion, and even if I loved seeing him show off his beauty, my favorite time with him would be standing in his stall scratching him or sitting outside in his pasture with him grazing next to me and nuzzling with my hair. Ecaho lived his last years happily at Arabian Oaks in Los Olivos, and he passed away quietly leaving all of us that loved him with an immense sadness and a huge emptiness. Rest in peace my beautiful boy. n ~ Anette Mattsson
in memoriam
Peter Cameron
September 16, 1928 – September 5, 2019 Remembering Peter THE ARABIAN HORSE ASSOCIATION WAS NOTIFIED OF THE PASSING of Peter Cameron. In trying to write about
Peter, there are so many thoughts and memories that came through my head, from when I was a young exhibitor of Arabian horses, to a young judge, and to becoming commissioner of judges. The thing I learned was to try to be definitive and extremely confident about your task at hand, whether it be showing, training or judging. One of the first calls I got after taking this job as Judges & Stewards Commissioner was from Peter Cameron. He offered me the utmost confidence, and I’ve always remembered that about him. Pete, as all of you know, was one of the first inductees into the Arabian Judges Hall of Fame. A mentor to countless judges and exhibitors alike, he was one of a kind, and there were those who wanted to say that Peter Cameron judged their horse. As commissioner, I often think back to the times when Peter Cameron, and those of his era, judged. What a privilege it was to say that you won or placed under Peter Cameron. To say that he set a standard for all of us would be understating the effect he had on all of us exhibitors, trainers and judges alike. Pete was always about the Arabian horse, and he exemplified being a friend to the Arabian horse. He was one of a kind, and one we will rarely see again. Personally, I will miss his encouragement, his honesty with me and the way he conducted himself until the end. These are traits we can all aspire to have. Later on this year, with the support of his many friends from AHA, there will be a trophy presented in his name to an outstanding judge and his/her contributions to this breed. It is fitting that the trophy represents the ideals Pete set for all of us in the Arabian horse family. From all of us in the Arabian horse community to the Cameron family, our deepest condolences. n ~ R. Stanton Morey Judges & Stewards Commissioner Arabian Horse Association

Weight Management for the Mature Horse
Equine Athlete Veterinary Services EVERY HORSE, COMPANION OR COMPETITIVE ATHLETE cycles through the stages of life and eventually enters into old age. As owners, it is important to recognize these stages and adapt accordingly to each horse’s needs. The mature horse (horses in their teen years and beyond), can require the most effort and attention of any stage, as each horse ages differently. Some horses will maintain muscle mass or body condition more easily than others. Some will maintain a sleek beautiful coat condition while others won’t. These horses also vary in their work loads, from the top of their game to retirement. Dental care, metabolic issues, decreased digestive function, new or old injuries and other diseases all play a role in managing mature horses. It is essential to monitor the mature horse’s body weight and body condition score closely. Because seeing them on a daily basis can sometimes make it difficult to evaluate a horse’s progress or decline, having a weight measuring tape and recording the weight every fall and spring is a great way to objectively track each horse. When calculating the body condition score (BCS), it is vital to use your hands and feel the amount of fat covering each of the six areas: neck, withers, ribs, behind the shoulder, back and tailhead. A number from 1 (very thin) to 9 (obese) is then assigned. This number will make it easier to track your horse’s condition and will also provide a standard scale for communicating to your veterinarian, nutritionist and other professionals. Visit this link for more in depth details on body condition scoring: www.platinumperformance.com/ body-condition-score A typical complete diet consists of a good quality forage, quality grain and unlimited access to clean, fresh water. Diets should also meet the calcium to phosphorus ratio of 2:1. Forage should be fed at an amount of 1.5 – 2 percent body weight. This is about 15 – 20 pounds for the average 1000 pound horse, split into two to three meals a day. Good quality hay has a bright color and contains about eight percent protein, 0.3 percent calcium and 0.2 percent phosphorus. Alfalfa is another forage choice that is higher in protein and calcium than grass hay. As a general rule, grain is fed at an amount of one to two pounds Brought to you by:

It is also important to recognize that weight management is not solely defined by food. A common cause of poor weight gain or maintenance is due to problems with teeth. A veterinarian or equine dentist should perform an oral exam and dental float once or twice a year depending on your horse’s age.
of concentrate per hour of daily work and should be no more than 0.3 - 0.4 percent of body weight in grain per feeding. This is important to keep in mind, as over-feeding grain can have negative effects including digestive upset, colic, laminitis, and obesity. A good way of increasing the calories in a horse’s meal without increasing the amount of grain is to add fat. This can be done with oil or a commercial weight gain product high in fat. However, it is important to note that fat should not exceed ten percent of the total diet (or up to ¼ cup of oil added per meal). Many complete commercial feeds, such as senior feeds, have a higher fiber content than concentrate grains (oats or corn) and can be fed in a higher proportion. These complete feeds are mixed with the desired amounts of trace minerals and vitamins that meet most horse’s needs. The majority of commercial complete feeds also come in a form and texture that is easier for the mature horse to chew and is more easily digestible, making it desirable for older horses that are prone to choke. Soaking hay, cubes, pellets or adding water to grain can also help to prevent choke and ensure that your horse is getting adequate water intake. Any hay or grain that has been soaked should always be checked for mold or mildew before feeding and should be thrown out within one to two hours, as it can quickly spoil. It is also important to recognize that weight management is not solely defined by food. A common cause of poor weight gain or maintenance is due to problems with teeth. A veterinarian or equine dentist should perform an oral exam and dental float once or twice a year depending on your horse’s age. Any horse that has had teeth extracted should have his teeth checked twice a year. In the spring (and ideally the fall), a fecal egg count should be performed as well to establish a deworming protocol specific to the conditions in which your horse lives and the type of worm eggs that are present. Insulin resistance and Pituitary Pars Intermedia Dysfunction (PPID, also referred to as Cushing’s Disease) are a couple examples of disease processes that can cause weight gain or muscle loss. If your horse suddenly experiences a large change in weight, it is imperative to contact your veterinarian to investigate any possible metabolic or disease related causes. Always remember that any changes made to your horse’s diet should be done in small, slowly increasing amounts over the course of five to seven days to prevent digestive upset. Taking the time to monitor, evaluate and make necessary changes will ensure your horse continues to thrive through all of his mature years. ~ Krystle O’Cull, MVB Associate, Equine Athlete Veterinary Services

Over Forty &
fabulous By Hope Ellis-Ashburn
F
orty is new thirty, or so the saying goes. And while today’s over forty riders are undeniably just as, or even more, accomplished
and successful than they have been at any point in their lives, there are challenges to be faced in areas they may have never thought of before. Diet and exercise needs have sometimes changed. Injuries are more of a concern. Still, these riders have capitalized on their experience, and here’s how you can too. Stephanie Chase, Age 54 DISCIPLINES: ENDURANCE & DRESSAGE NORTHERN UTAH
Stephanie works in finance. She has a grown son and owns two Arabian geldings, Secret and Que. Stephanie is a former eventer and currently rides six days per week. MAJOR ACCOMPLISHMENTS:
Stephanie has won the Mountain Region Endurance Riders championship in the light weight division and is a top runner in the American Endurance Ride Conference fifty-mile races. She is currently competing in both onehundred mile and fifty-mile endurance races. DIET:
“I eat primarily a gluten-light diet. By that I mean, I don’t eat gluten on a regular basis, but I won’t turn away pizza from time to time.” FITNESS PROGRAM OUTSIDE OF RIDING:
“I do a lot of hiking and running with 24

my young horse.” COACHING:
“I work on my own. My eventing background had me working with some of the finest riders and horsemen in the country back in New England so I feel super blessed to be able to apply that skill set to my endurance horses.” AGE RELATED & OTHER CHALLENGES:
“My biggest challenge is that I work no less than fifty hours a week so training my youngster and keeping my competition horse fit enough for longer distance can be challenging. This coupled with long winters in Utah also pose a challenge.” POSITIVES OF RIDING AFTER AGE 40:
“I think at this point in our lives, we’ve learned to be honest with ourselves and our skill set and knowing exactly how to set goals and attain them. We are guided by our own hopes and dreams verses that of a trainer, coach, or even our peers and parents.”
Lori McIntosh
Stephanie Chase
DIFFERENCES BETWEEN OLDER & YOUNGER RIDERS:
“So many variances. In my opinion, I think as an older rider we are perhaps more patient and appreciate the journey verses the result. That said, as a younger rider, I was far braver, and I didn’t hit the ground so hard.” MOTIVATION:
“My horses keep me motivated. Whenever I ride either one of them, it is pure joy. I can shut out the rest of the stresses of the world, and they just make me laugh. It’s as if they know they are bringing joy to the world.” ADVICE FOR YOUNGER RIDERS:
“Follow your dreams and truly enjoy every step it takes to attain that dream. Find a coach or trainer that thinks along the same lines you do.”
Five top riders share their tips on diet, exercise and motivation, as well as their thoughts on riding and competing after age forty.

younger so it is interesting to see the difference in the way we older riders learn. We learn a little slower, but a little smarter!” POSITIVES OF RIDING AFTER AGE FORTY:
“The physical exercise and mental challenges keep me young. I love being a part of the barn and helping mentor the younger riders.” DIFFERENCES BETWEEN OLDER & YOUNGER RIDERS:
“The way we learn is different. Younger riders are more of the ride first and think about it later [types]. Older riders tend to think, overthink, analyze a bit more, then ride.” MOTIVATION:
“I am hyper competitive as is Noelle. She ‘gets’ me and pushes me because she knows how much I want to win. I am a weird combination of being competitive, but a bit lazy so Noelle has her work cut out for her!” ADVICE FOR YOUNGER RIDERS:
“Do not ever give up. This will be the most amazing thing that you can ever do. Having a true partnership with a horse is unmatched by anything else so work your tail off to make it happen.”

and WP Aulsovain. She’s been riding for forty-nine years and has competed in endurance riding for thirty-two years. The amount of time she spends riding per week varies depending upon the needs of the horse. MAJOR ACCOMPLISHMENTS:
• Over 9,000 competition miles, eighteen of those coming from 100-mile competitions. • Member of 2001 USA-East Pan Am squad. • Two-time winner of the southeast’s Consistent Condition Award. • Buckles from the following 100-mile rides: Old Dominion, The Big Horn and the Tevis Cup. DIET:
“I am a calorie counter. I weigh in every morning, record it on a chart and record my food every day. I only eat out if on the road and no other option. I tend to cook all my meals and shoot for a balanced diet with vegetables, fruits, and lean meats.” FITNESS PROGRAM OUTSIDE OF RIDING:
“For the most part, I do barn work, farm work, etc. I live on a ridge. Every time I bring horses in or take them out, I walk one hundred yards up and down my hill. I put up my own hay, clear trails, weed eat fence lines, etc. I call it my ‘work-out-side.’” COACHING:
“I work on my own.” AGE RELATED & OTHER CHALLENGES:
“To be honest, lately it’s just finding a horse that will hold up.” POSITIVES OF RIDING AFTER AGE 40:
“I can afford it better now that the kids are grown, and the house is paid off. I know what I’m doing, and what used to be difficult has gotten a little easier, or at least less intimidating.” DIFFERENCES BETWEEN OLDER & YOUNGER RIDERS:
“We just have so few young riders. I see many first-time riders now in their thirties; women who didn’t have the chance when they were young.” MOTIVATION:
“I love the people at endurance rides. It’s like a competition of who can take the best care of their horses. We try to improve our riding not to impress a judge, but to help our horses. We compete not against each other so much as against the trail, so we are bonded like war buddies. I am driven to condition my horses at home so I can stay in the club and go to the rides. I have never minded the work involved; that is simply my life. I love it. Lately I’ve been motivated to ride more by a great-niece who inherited the horse gene. Seeing the joy of a first gallop in her eyes just reminds me how great it is.”
A Moment with Michael Byatt Main ring icon Michael Byatt, 61, of New Ulm, Texas weighed in with his thoughts as a male over age forty still competing at the top of his discipline. An international competitor, Byatt has been handling and riding horses, showing and otherwise, for fifty years and is a full-time trainer and breeder. Just some of the special horses currently in his show string include: Hariry Al Shaqab, Lahab Albidayer, Kashef Al Shaqab, Rhan Al Shahania, Maraya El Besson, and Starry Starry Night. He competes mainly in halter, but also in various performance divisions on a limited basis. He works with the horses at his facility six to seven days per week. A brief summary of his major accomplishments includes: U.S. National Champion Western Pleasure, Country Pleasure Driving, Senior and Junior Stallion, Senior and Junior Mare, Gelding, Futurity Colt and Filly, Yearling Colt and Filly, and Two-Year-Old Colt along with U.S. and Canadian National Champion English Pleasure and Pleasure Driving. DIET:
“I do not eat meat and am selective about eating fried or junk food.” FITNESS PROGRAM OUTSIDE OF HANDLING/RIDING:
“I jog several times per week and work out in the gym.” AGE RELATED & OTHER CHALLENGES:
“A big challenge is finding enough help. My age limits nothing I do.” POSITIVES OF HANDLING/RIDING AFTER AGE 40:
“They are the same as they were when I was under forty. I enjoy what I do.” DIFFERENCES BETWEEN OLDER & YOUNGER HANDLERS/RIDERS:
Good is good regardless of age. MOTIVATION:
“Loving what I do.” ADVICE FOR YOUNGER HANDLERS/RIDERS:
“Remember that you have two ears and one mouth; listen twice as much as you talk. In the end, horsemanship is an asset to showmanship, whereas showmanship without horsemanship has a shorter shelf life.” FINAL ADVICE:
“Horses do not have a choice. We have a choice. Make good ones for your horse.” n

AGE RELATED & OTHER CHALLENGES:
Top endurance rider Angie McGhee also had the following tips she has compiled for riders over the age of forty: • “When you are young, you don’t consider your body parts wearing out.” To alleviate knee pain, Angie learned to ride with her leg more under her. Compared to her younger years, she also now prefers a narrower horse to one with wide shoulders as she finds that she can get her legs around it more easily. She also looks for a horse with smooth gaits. • She prefers a shorter horse, in the 14.2 range. Horses of this height can be easier to mount and dismount. • Injuries are more of a concern. Rather than starting her own horses she now looks for ones that are already well-trained.
“I’m currently recovering from an injury to my psoas muscle and, in the past, I’ve torn a bicep tendon. I tend to follow homeopathic, acupressure, and electromagnetic therapies to stay healthy or treat injuries.” POSITIVES OF RIDING AFTER AGE 40:
“I’m finally riding my dream horse. He’s here. He’s happy and doing well. He’s beautiful.” DIFFERENCES BETWEEN OLDER & YOUNGER RIDERS:
“As an older rider, I’m learning to slow down and be present in the moment. I try to be more mindful about not rushing through things.” MOTIVATION:
“I’m motivated by living my dream and the bond I share with my horse.” ADVICE FOR YOUNGER RIDERS:
“Learn as early as you can to slow down and be present. I’m getting compliments now from judges on the harmony 28

She has been showing horses since the age of five.
drop it or continue on elsewhere. Older riders will follow through more. I don’t mind people who are fearful. I like to help them to turn that into respect with a chance of confidence. Younger riders have a long road of learning and education ahead of them; more than an older person. An older person can settle into a sweet routine with her riding and have fun for the fun of it. Younger people can also. “ MOTIVATION:
“My horses are improving continually, two are 19 and one is 11, and I am always learning. My students who were having difficulties with their horses are learning how and what to do to be safe and can smile and enjoy their rides with the tools they have learned.

Mane & Tail Brush from Oster I am always complimented on my horses’ tails. My secret is to leave the tail alone until I am going to a show. Then I wash and condition. Once dry I put detangler in it and use the Oster Mane and Tail Brush. I find it the best to bring out the fullness in the tail.

The sheepskin rolls not only keep the pad in place, but also give a great look. You can get shims for it in case you need to use your saddle on a different horse. And it comes in four colors to suit your preferences. I think it also helps cushion the sitting trot for the rider. www.thinlineglobal.com

Guttural Puch Tympany is a rare condition seen more often in Arabians than in other breeds.
Guttural Pouch Tympany Rare Genetic Disease More Prevalent in Arabians By Sarah Evers Conrad
R
egardless of whether it’s a small or large breeding operation, horse breeders put so much time, money and effort into creating the next generation of Arabian horses. And with each foal comes hopes and dreams yet to be realized. However, when a rare condition and secondary complications lead to the death of a promising young filly in 2008, it becomes a devastating loss for all involved. However, with advances in treatment techniques since then, and with more awareness by owners, perhaps more foals will be saved from the same fate. In 2008, Mary Sotis of Waddell, Ariz., had high hopes for WR Chardonallo Bey (DM Mopollo Bey x WR Debbani Farasha), a Half-Arabian filly she hoped would be a future show mare and broodmare. Sotis and her daughter bred one or two foals per year for around six years. When the filly, 32
arabian horse
life
Issue 5. 2019
also known as Char, was born with a thick throat latch area, Sotis didn’t know at the time that it was a sign of a rare condition. When the swelling didn’t go down, a local veterinarian took radiographs and aspirated the swollen area, and strangles and an infection were ruled out. But at three and a half months, the still-worried owner was referred to a veterinary hospital because Char had developed nasal discharge and a fever and had started making noises when she breathed. By that time, Sotis was worried that Char had developed Guttural Pouch Tympany (GPT).
Defining GPT The guttural pouches are two large sacs of air created by bulges of the auditory tube beneath the ears. The pouches,
which are part of the respiratory system, connect the middle ear to the pharynx. They are surrounded by the base of the skull above, the pharynx and esophagus at the bottom and the salivary glands and mandible, or jaw bone, on the sides. Many important structures are housed in the guttural pouches, such as the internal carotid artery, which carries blood to the brain; the external carotid artery and the maxillary carotid artery, which both supply blood to the rest of the head; various lymph nodes and several important nerves. Air flows through these pouches from the middle ear into the pharynx through a tiny slit-like opening. Each pouch can hold up to 300 to 500 milliliters of air. While some research indicates that these structures help the horse thermoregulate to cool the brain after exertion, more research needs to be done to confirm that theory. Other theories include that the guttural pouches are there as as part of equine vocalization, as ear pressure regulation for the ear drum or to aid in swallowing. According to Elizabeth Barrett, DVM, MS, Dipl. ACVS, an associate veterinarian and surgeon at Hagyard Equine Medical Institute in Lexington, Ky., extra tissue in the opening of the guttural pouch creates a one-way valve so that air can go in to the guttural pouches but can’t go out, thus causing guttural pouch tympany. This extra tissue could be present at birth or be caused by a virus or infection, which could lead to inflammation of that tissue. GPT can either be unilateral or bilateral. Obvious swelling that is soft to the touch is the main clinical sign of the condition. “Any swelling behind the jaw is something that should be seen by a veterinarian,” cautions Barrett, adding that it is rare for cases to resolve themselves. If left untreated, and as the case of GPT advances, owners may notice noise as the horse breathes or becomes excited, and advanced cases can cause difficulty in breathing or swallowing, while some foals will develop empyema (accumulation of pus) or life-threatening aspiration pneumonia as food or milk is inhaled into the lungs. Secondarily, due to nerve inflammation, GPT can also cause collapse of the pharyngeal wall, laryngeal hemiplegia (paralysis of the cartilage of the larynx, aka roaring) or dorsal displacement of the soft palate. While it’s a serious condition if it develops, it is considered rare. “It’s not that common, even though it may be over-represented in Arabians,” says Barrett. She only sees a few cases every year at the clinic, which has a population of more Thoroughbreds and Quarter Horses. Sometimes a few years may pass without any cases.
other causes of enlarged guttural pouches. The pouches are evaluated via endoscopic examination and radiography. Barrett says diagnosis can be difficult because it is just air that wll reoccur if drained. “If you’re trying to ultrasound it, it’s just air, so you just see a bright spot blocking out deeper structures,” she says. She also says there are many other differential diagnoses, or conditions that share similar clinical signs—such as empyema, swollen lymph nodes or salivary glands, or a mass or tumor.

catheter is filled with water or saline solution, and the Chambers catheter is removed. The Foley catheter is left in place for four to six weeks to create a pressure necrosis, a destruction of tissue caused by a lack of circulation related to the external compression. This modifies the opening into the pouch to allow air to escape. This method usually resolves the condition permanently. “The main problem is that the catheters can fall out and need to be replaced, which can become frustrating if the foal is difficult,” says Barrett. “There is also the risk of creating an empyema in the pouch that would have to be treated secondarily.” Regardless of this possibility, treatment using the Foley catheter is chosen before traditional surgery at Hagyard because of its less invasive nature. Unfortunately, that method wasn’t widely used when WR Chardonello Bey was affected. Surgery could have possibly saved WR Chardonello Bey, but because the condition led to aspiration pneumonia before an official diagnosis, she was a poor surgical candidate. Her prognosis wasn’t good, says Sotis. Therefore, her owner made the difficult decision to euthanize her prize filly. Sotis had dealt with loss before with the loss of a colt and a broodmare. “It was heartbreaking for us to lose this filly, too,” says Sotis. “I’d say that if an owner sees something that seems off, like the slight appearance of a larger throat latch on one side or both sides, call your vet right away and explain what you suspect is GPT,” she continues. “Do some research to give to them if they aren’t familiar with this condition.” Also, allow the veterinarian to perform any necessary tests to make a definitive diagnosis and be willing to proceed with referral to a hospital if your regular veterinarian recommends it, says Barrett. “Our decision was to not breed this mare again, even though the chances were 50/50 we’d have another foal with GPT,” says Sotis. “And because we couldn’t be sure which horse carried the gene that carries this condition, we also made the decision to geld the stallion as well. It was hard to do this, but we didn’t want another foal to go through what Char went through.” Sarah Evers Conrad is an equestrian journalist, digital marketing specialist, and editor of the Certified Horsemanship Association’s “The Instructor” magazine.

he Equine Research Program at the Arabian Horse Foundation is committed to aiding projects directed at improving equine health, with a focus on issues of particular interest to the Arabian breed. Since the program’s inception just over a decade ago, the Foundation has provided over $85,000 in funding for a variety of projects, including collaborations with some of the top veterinary research programs in the world, including UC Davis, University of Florida, Cornell University and the Morris Animal Foundation. Even with a very limited budget, the Foundation has been successful in not only supporting, but also moving forward, important research in genetic conditions affecting the Arabian horse. Because the Foundation’s funding comes solely from donations, every dollar matters; even $5/year from each AHA member would greatly increase the amount of money available to support research studies. In 2007, when the Foundation added the research arm, the test for Severe Combined Immunodeficiency (SCID) was the only genetic test available for Arabians. Since that time, the Foundation has been involved with studies that have resulted in development of direct DNA tests for Cerebellar Abiotrophy (CA) and Lavender Foal Syndrome (LFS). Since the beginning of commercial testing for these two genetic disorders, the UC Davis Veterinary Genetics Laboratory and the VetGen Laboratory, combined through 2018, have tested >14,100 horses for CA and >4,700 for LFS. In 2017, none of the horses tested at either lab were CA or LFS affected and in 2018, there were no LFS affected foals tested and only one CA affected foal tested. These test results are a testament to breeders utilizing genetic testing as a tool to help prevent the production of affected foals. The Foundation has also funded studies investigating the genetic basis of Juvenile Idiopathic Epilepsy (JIE), Occipitoatlantoaxial Malformation (OAAM), Equine Metabolic Syndrome (EMS) and equine melanoma. Additional information on the ongoing JIE and OAAM
EQUINE RESEARCH PROGRAM projects can be found here: thearabianhorsefoundation. org/equine-research/. As a part of planning future activity of the research program, the Foundation would like to welcome Dr. Ty Wallis, co-owner of Equine Athlete Veterinary Services, as a new member of the Research Advisory Panel. With his expertise in performance horses, Dr. Wallis’ input and perspective will help guide the research program into involvement with research projects related to performance horse medicine.
How you can help! The Arabian Horse Foundation thanks all its donors, as well as the owners who participate in the studies, for their ongoing support. Without it, these projects would not be possible. • Tax-deductible donations can be made by using the donation check box on the AHA membership form when renewing or joining. Donations can also be

Riders who would like to compete in the FRP must fill out the Incentive Program Sign-Up Form and pay a one-time $25 processing fee to join. A program participant is defined as an individual rider, not a specific horse and rider combination. This means that as a rider, you may ride any number of horses, regardless of whether you own them or not, as long as they are all Arabians or HalfArabian/Anglo-Arabians registered with the Arabian Horse Association. NOTE: Participation in any Arabian Horse Association program requires a current membership with the Arabian Horse Association.
The FRP will recognize any activity with a registered Arabian or Half-Arabian/Anglo-Arabian horse, as long as the participant is riding/ driving the horse. Some examples are: • Trail Riding • Parades • Riding Lessons • Training Under Saddle • Ranch Work • Demonstrations • Pleasure Riding • Pleasure Driving Hours that do not count are any non-riding activities that might include: • Groundwork • Feeding • Cleaning Stalls • Tacking Up

Phyllis and her horse had a fun and rewarding season in 2018 from Dressage lessons to spending six weeks at a friend’s farm using scenic trail rides for to help with conditioning and fitness. When the show season began, the pair competed at their local Dressage club shows as well as USDF Dressage shows. They attended their first National Dressage Pony Cup in the summer of 2018 and the Great Lakes Regional Schooling Show Championships and USDF Region 2 Championships. Phyllis and Rebel also attended the A Riders’ Seat clinic and a Confidence Course clinic. Then the riding pair decided to try something a bit different and outside of their comfort zone when they went to an Extreme Trail Course. This challenged the pair more than Phyllis had anticipated, but Rebel seemed to enjoy it. All of these activities in 2018 were rewarding and great fun, but most importantly they seemed to strengthen the bond between Rebel and Phyllis. In Phyllis’s own words, “He is the most social horse that I have ever met. He LOVES people, and he LOVES going places. Rebel has a fantastic work ethic and is so sensible. It is my hope that he represented the Arabian breed in a positive manner.” “I’d like to thank the Arabian Horse Association for this recognition. I have enjoyed every minute of being in the saddle with Rebel and hope that we have many more in the future.”

TOM CHAUNCEY p In Search of the Perfect Horse

ou might say that Tom Chauncey and the city of Phoenix, Ariz., grew up together. Founded in 1868, Phoenix had only about 38,000 residents when 13-year-old Chauncey and his brother Bo arrived in 1926, having stowed away on a freight train from Houston, Texas. You could also say that Tom Chauncey left Phoenix a bigger, better place than he found it; by the time Chauncey died in 1996, his adopted city had grown to over a million people. And during his time in the Phoenix area, Chauncey definitely left his mark on the history of the Arabian horse in the United States. Chauncey’s life embodied the American dream — and then some. After a stint as a page in the Adams Hotel, he ran a successful jewelry store (one of whose patrons was architect Frank Lloyd Wright); established radio and television stations with his friend Gene Autry, the “singing cowboy”; owned cattle ranches and racehorses; knew several U.S. presidents and other notable politicians; doubled for Spencer Tracy in the movie “A Guy Named Joe”; and served as President Eisenhower’s special ambassador to Nigeria. When asked about his good fortune, Chauncey replied, “I firmly believe I was just in the right place at the right time.” In 1963, Chauncey turned 50 and was at the height of his powers. He was recognized as a pillar of the community — and also for his prematurely white hair. Until that point, he’d been fairly immune to the allure of the Arabian horse, despite having ridden all his life and having married into the Wrigley family, breeders of Arabian horses on California’s Catalina Island. However, that same year, a pivotal event in Arabian horse history set Chauncey on a path toward becoming one of the bestknown breeders of his era. After a tumultuous voyage, a freighter from Poland docked in New York
Harbor in March 1963. Among the precious equine cargo aboard were the two legendary stallions, *Naborr and *Bask++, who would soon be hauled across country to Scottsdale, Ariz. Chauncey’s first glimpse of 13-year-old *Naborr (Negatiw x Lagodna) came soon after his importation, at his then-owner Anne McCormick’s ranch (see Arabian Horse Life, Issue 1, 2019). Although Mrs. McCormick allowed very few people access to her prize stallion, Chauncey recalled that “she liked me…and I was crazy about him.” He later said that *Naborr was the most perfect horse he’d ever seen. And Chauncey saw *Naborr fairly often in those days, since his young stepdaughter Misdee was receiving riding instruction from Harold Daugherty, the McCormick Ranch trainer. As Misdee remembered, the Chaunceys “had ample excuse to watch the regal gray stallion frolic in the paddock.” While McCormick made a point of keeping *Naborr at home, the LaCroix family, who had imported *Bask (Witraz x Balalajka), intended for him to embark on a show career representing their Lasma Arabian Stud. *Bask quickly racked up numerous awards, including 1964 Scottsdale Champion Stallion and 1964 U.S. National Champion Stallion. McCormick died in May 1969. In early October of that year, an equine auction was held at her ranch. Near the ranch’s horse barns, workmen had erected a rectangular tent and temporary bleachers. The small, simple brochure that was prepared for the event belied the profound effect that this auction would have on Arabian horse breeding, showing, and sales worldwide. Although McCormick had been a well-respected breeder of Arabian horses for nearly 30 years, only one of her horses was of sufficient stature to lure potential buyers from across the United States and Europe — and that was *Naborr, who was by then 19 years old. Charles Einstein, a reporter for the Los Angeles Times, recalled that everyone in the tent was trying to identify the prospective bidders: “The word was out that this could be something like a spy movie…and people kept looking around for other people,

wondering if they were the ones. The big syndicates were here. Everybody knew that. The money from the East. The money from California.” It was said that there were even buyers who intended to take *Naborr back to Europe. *Naborr was Lot One in the sale. The bidding war initially appeared to be between three parties: a single man, a group of two men and two women, and a pair of men. After the bidding passed $100,000, the single man dropped out. It was then that a new bidder, a man with white hair, bid $102,000. When the bidding rose to $127,000, the pair of men folded. Now the bidding was between the four-person syndicate and the whitehaired man. The audience erupted when Tom Chauncey, in partnership with 27-year-old singer (and future legendary Arabian breeder) Wayne Newton, bid $150,000 — a record price for an Arabian at auction. Meanwhile, Tom’s wife, Deedie Wrigley Chauncey, who’d been sitting next to him, had no idea he’d been bidding. She nearly fell off the bleachers when she realized what he had done. Across the country, the headlines blared: “$150,000 for Naborr,” “Arabian Horse Brings $150,000,” “Huge Price for Stallion.” Local newspapers took jabs at Chauncey and Newton for their purchase, including this attempt at humor: “It was the highest price ever paid for an Arabian, and the white-gray horse is certainly not the sort of property that you turn loose in the backyard, uninsured, to bay at the full moon — or whatever it is that horses do.” Now Chauncey was in possession of *Naborr but, as he noted, “I had no place to put the horse. Lasma offered to take him, they actually kept him down there for quite a while…and never charged me a nickel. And they had someone watching him twenty-four hours a day.” Carole O’Connor, who worked at Lasma while *Naborr was stabled there, recalled, “Every morning when I got to the barn, Mr. Chauncey would already be there to see 44

*Naborr and give him carrots, talk to him, then go to work at his TV station, KOOL. No matter how early I got there, Mr. Chauncey always beat me.” After Chauncey and Newton reached an agreement about their respective obligations as half-owners of the horse, *Naborr was hauled to Newton’s ranch in Mayer, Ariz., about 75 miles north of Phoenix. While in Newton’s possession, *Naborr was exhibited at the U.S. Nationals as a “Living Legend.” Meanwhile, Chauncey — who claimed that he initially didn’t want to breed Arabians — had a change of heart. He decided he did want some *Naborr
foals, and purchased some Wrigley mares to breed to him. “I had no idea that this decision would put me in the breeding business, but when you own a horse like *Naborr, you go where he takes you.” Newton — who’d known Chauncey since he was a kid, singing with his brother Jerry Newton, on Chauncey’s KOOL television station — was also having a change of heart. He’d purchased the handsome *Naborr son *Aramus++ (x Amneris). As he put it, “Aramus galloped into my life. He was the horse of my dreams. He was the kind of horse you only see on the big screen at the movies.” So Chauncey bought Newton out, the two men remained good friends and *Naborr went to live at Chauncey’s new facility. Chauncey, for his part, was said to be relieved that *Naborr was back under the care of his previous veterinarian. Chauncey recalled, “I decided the horse had to come back close to Dr. Hancock. It’s a horrible responsibility for us. You own him but he really belongs to an awful lot of people.” *Naborr’s first foal bred by the Chaunceys arrived in October 1970. Kaborr+++, out of the Wrigleybred mare Bint Kholameh, went on to be named European Champion Stallion, Canadian National Champion Stallion, and twice U.S. Reserve National Champion Stallion. Kaborr is prominent in contemporary pedigrees through his daughter Kajora (x Edjora++), a U.S. National Champion Mare bred by the Chaunceys and the dam of international champion Gazal Al Shaqab (x Anaza El Farid). The same year that Kaborr was foaled, 1970, four *Naborr sons competed against each other at the U.S. Nationals in the stallion championship class. Newton’s stallion *Aramus++ was U.S. National Champion Stallion, another *Naborr son, *Gwalior++ (x *Gwadiana), was Reserve National Champion Stallion, and two more *Naborr sons, *Werbor++ (x *Antwerpia) and Gai-Adventure (x Gavrelle), were Top Ten Stallions. Among the National winners that *Naborr sired for Chauncey were: Bandorr (x *Bandera), U.S. Top Ten Informal Combination; Naborrs Royette+ (x Royeyn), U.S. Top Ten Western Pleasure; TC Naari+ (Nilowa), U.S. Reserve National Champion Fourth Level Dressage; and Navodka+ (x *Nawojka), U.S. Top Ten Sidesaddle. For Newton, *Naborr sired the National winners Doctor Naborr (x Shar Ebony), U.S. Top Ten Native Costume; Naborrs Joy (x Sura Joy), U.S. and Canadian Top Ten
Halter; Oraluna (x *Oromana), U.S. and Canadian Top Ten English Pleasure; and WN Winter Park (x Bed of Roses), U.S. Top Ten Pleasure Driving. In February 1976, Chauncey held the first of many auctions featuring the get of his white stallion: The *Naborr Generation Sale. Anyone who was present will never forget the sight of a dozen *Naborr sons and grandsons, in varying shades of grey, prance onto the stage, followed by the majestic entrance of *Naborr himself. The sale of 31 horses brought $812,000, a new record. It was *Naborr’s last public appearance, for he died the following year at age 27. Although he lamented the loss of the horse he called “the light of my life,” Chauncey then focused on breeding Kaborr and acquiring more breeding stock. He also became well known as the premier collector of *Bask daughters, including Gardenia (x *Gdynia), whom he purchased for $1.5 million. In the mid-1960s, Chauncey had gotten to know *Bask like the way he’d befriended *Naborr. At Lasma,

heritage n while stepdaughter Misdee took riding lessons from Gene LaCroix Jr., Chauncey wandered the barn aisles and, according to wife Deedie, was “completely captivated” by *Bask, as he stood outside his stall and talked with him. “That was before he acquired *Naborr,” she added. Another connection between the LaCroixs and Chaunceys took place in 1973 when Kathy LaCroix, daughter of Dr. Gene and Mary Jean LaCroix, married Tom Chauncey II. Late in life, as Chauncey looked back over his record as an Arabian breeder, there was one goal that had eluded him: his operation had never shown a horse to a U.S. National Champion Stallion title, although Kaborr had come close. In 1993, when Chauncey was 80 years old, his stallion Kharben (Ben Bask x 46

Khara Mia Mine), a grandson of his old friend *Bask, was named Scottsdale Champion Stallion, Ohio Buckeye Champion Stallion, Canadian National Champion Stallion, and U.S. National Champion Stallion. Two years after Kharben’s triumphs, Chauncey suffered a stroke in April 1995. He died in July 1996 at age 83. Tributes from all quarters poured in, citing his legacy of philanthropy and leadership, and observing that his Arabian horses had become much more to him than simply the business interest of a wealthy, influential man. As he’d told an interviewer a few years before his death, “Horses are the love of my life. Particularly great Arabian horses.” And especially *Naborr. Teresa Rogers, horse historian

and Arabian Horse Life contributor, recalls attending the 1970 Scottsdale Show, where she watched *Naborr parade around the show ring. She recalled, “When the white stallion left the ring, I got as close as I could to him, just so I could say that I had seen him up close, perhaps even touched him. *Naborr made me feel special.” Years later, while attending college, Rogers worked as an intern at Chauncey’s “combo” media stations, KOOL-AM/FM/TV, in downtown Phoenix. Today, when she looks at photographs and video clips of Chauncey and *Naborr, she knows why a person would pay that much money for one horse. “It was the same reason I wanted to be close to the white stallion,” she says. “It wasn’t about the money; it was about the horse. Tom Chauncey loved *Naborr, and that was reason enough.” Tobi Lopez Taylor is an award-winning writer and editor.

hat better showcase is there to celebrate a lifetime of horses and the lifetime of a horse than a Dressage “Century Ride?” The Century Club, formed by The Dressage Foundation, is a nonprofit whose mission is to support Dressage in the United States, and recognizes “Century Rides” as the performance of a Dressage or Western Dressage test at any level at a show or other special event in North America by a horse and rider whose combined age equals one hundred years or more. Yes, a hundred years, or a century! “The Century Club began as a way to recognize and honor the senior riders and horses of our sport; those who are still active and competing. Not only does the Club serve that purpose, but it’s also become a program that really encourages and motivates equestrians of all disciplines,” says Jenny Johnson, Executive Director of The Dressage Foundation. “The Century Club has turned into a ‘bucket list’ item for riders across the country. I receive calls on a regular basis from riders who still have many years before they meet the 100-year age requirement, but are already making plans!” With longevity and gentleness as hallmarks of the breed, Arabians and HalfArabians are often fabulous candidates for this endeavor. To date, 2018 and 2019 Century Club inductees include nine riders on Arabians and Arabian crosses. Let’s meet these amazing equestrians and their superstar steeds!

Sharon Scott Demosthenes (age 68) (Arabian, age 32) University Place, Wa.
Friends and family have played a role in the lives Sharon Scott and Demosthenes (Shazzy). While Shazzy was originally owned by a friend and neighbor, Scott was able to watch him grow up from a yearling before purchasing him nearly three decades ago. Scott and Shazzy, together with Scott’s son, Ben, fox hunted, camped, trail rode, and did Hunter/Jumpers, before settling on Dressage when Shazzy was twenty-six. In addition to his Century Ride, Shazzy showed new Dressage riders the ropes as a schoolmaster and competition partner in recent years. Sadly, Shazzy passed away in January.

Ann Alden Sum Punk (age 72) (Half-Arabian, age 28) Tucson, Ariz.
Having owned and trained Arabians in a variety of disciplines throughout her adult life, Ann Alden’s contribution to the equine community in Arizona was immense: from managing a large boarding stable and teaching riding lessons to volunteering at a therapeutic riding center, organizing Dressage competitions, and starting a pony club before going on found the Riding & Rehabilitation Center in Tucson and the Borderlands Center for Equine Assisted Services in Sonoita, serving those with physical, mental, and emotional needs. While battling cancer, Alden continued to ride both her Arabians, Sum Punk and Aul Kimaya. Deciding to perform her Century Ride on Sum Punk was a natural conclusion. Sum Punk was given to Alden when the gelding was 22 by her friend, Bazy Tankersley, founder of Al-Marah Arabians, when Tankersley stopped riding at the age of 90. An endurance and trail horse, Sum Punk went on to become a cornerstone of the Borderlands Center in his role as therapy horse in the Adventures in Awareness workshops, as well as being involved in research into the effects of equine experiential learning on humans and horses. Unfortunately, Alden passed away in July.

working with horses, including managing a 500-acre horse ranch and showing hunter-jumpers. Shania, Harman’s Century Ride partner, entered Harman’s life as an unstarted seven-year-old. Harman, an art teacher, went on to trail ride, train and show dressage and perform in quadrilles with her mare. The duo performed Training Level Test 3 at the Arkansas Valley Dressage Association Show in Colorado on a near-100 degree June day for their Century Club ride.

Mary Munger King Ar-Thor (age 77) (Arabian, age 23) Hugo, Minn.
Growing up on a working farm powered by horses in Wisconsin, Mary Munger spent many hours of her youth riding bareback. Later, as an adult, she began breeding Arabians, including King Ar-Thor, who 23 years later, became Munger’s Century Ride partner. Having competed in Dressage and Hunt Seat, King came out of retirement to re-enter the show ring with Munger at Intro Level at the Equitation Station Schooling Show. Munger spends her time working on her hobby farm and with her therapy dogs in addition to managing a local Dressage show where she enjoys giving other riders the opportunity to make a positive start in the horse world.

Florence Bittner Rhoyal Rhodes (age 80) (Half-Arabian, age 20) St. Paul, Minn.
Getting started in horses and Dressage in her forties, Florence Bittner has embraced all that the horse world has to offer. Starting out taking riding lessons, Bittner went on to purchase her own horse, and her Century Ride mount, Rhoyal Rhodes, is the foal of her first equine partner. From birth on, Bittner and Rhode have enjoyed a two-decade partnership. Recognizing that it takes a village, Bittner has been cheered on and supported by her barn family, from her instructor, who has been by her side throughout, to the friends that have shared the journey, to the help she received with music and choreography for her Century Ride freestyle. Bittner is looking forward to her second Century Ride performance.

Joan Shapleigh Donatello (age 81) (Arabian, age 21) Dover-Foxcroft, Maine
The third time is a charm for Joan Shapleigh, riding Donatello, owned by Morgan Beaulieu. At 81, Shapleigh rode her third Century Ride at Infinity Farm in Dover, Maine. While she needs a hand mounting and dismounting, Shapleigh is at her happiest on the back of a horse! “Our Century Club members come from varied backgrounds,” Johnson says. “Some have ridden their entire lives, and some are beginner riders. It’s never too late to start! Several years ago, I had a Century Club member tell me why he became interested in Dressage as an older rider. He said that it was the concept of teamwork that he found most satisfying, saying that most ‘senior’ sports are individualistic (golf, cycling, swimming). He most appreciated the relationship and bond that he had with his teammate...his horse.” Natalie DeFee Mendik is an award-winning journalist specializing in equine media. Visit her online at www.

Issue 5. 2019
ighteen-year-old Samona Blakely won this year’s Tevis Cup in a neck and neck race between two Arabian horses and provided a dramatic finish to the world’s most difficult endurance race. In addition, Lindsey Fisher and five time finisher Monk won the prestigious Haggin Cup, heralding a stellar year for Arabians in endurance. The Tevis Cup, also known as the Western States Trail Ride, takes place annually and traverses 100 miles over the Sierra Nevada mountain range from a point near Lake Tahoe to Auburn, Calif. During the 24 hour race this year on August 17th, 184 riders and horses set upon their course at 5:15 am Saturday morning to tackle the challenge. While multiple breeds were represented, Arabians and a handful
By Erin Glassman
of Arabian crosses made up roughly 90 percent of the endurance entries. In addition to dominating the entries, Arabians also dominated the playing field. Thoughts early on by ride management set the stage for an equally suspense-filled competition dueled out through the 100 mile course. “This year even the seeding for pen one was competitive,” remarked ride manager Chuck Stalley. Pen one is reserved for faster riders and those with higher placings in previous year’s rides. Calling it a competitive ride was not merely a notion; some statistical analysis helped to determine who would be able to leave the gate first. “We use mathematical calculations from their prior eighteen months of riding in endurance to determine who qualifies for that faster pen, and we had a lot of close scores,” stated Stalley. The predictions of competition held true as a core group of riders pushed to maintain a lead. Throughout the day, Karen Donley maintained a strong lead on her 17-year-old grey Arabian, Royal Patron. Donley led the way into the first mandatory vet hold 36 miles into the ride at Robinson Flat. Her time into the hold was 9:16 am, and she was followed closely by Gwen Hall on 15-year-old grey Sizedoesntmatter and Sanoma Blakely on 10-year-old RA Ares Bay. Donley moved in and out of the lead the majority of the day, again arriving first into the second mandatory one-hour hold at Forest Hill, 68 miles down the historic Western States Trail. The heat of the competition remained high through the heat of the day; a pack of at least 20 riders moved out within about an hour of each other from the vet check, leaving plenty of possibilities for leadership upset at that stage of the ride. Miles ticked away with riders gaming for the lead. At 94 miles, upset of leadership occurred as two new
riders edged up into the front of the herd. The battle for the Tevis Cup win ensued. Reportedly, much leapfrogging for the lead occurred in the remaining trail between the young Samona Blakely and veteran international rider Jeremy Reynolds riding RTR Rimfires Etta, a bay Arabian. The last six miles of the race dissipated as the two exchanged position one and two. A crowd gathered at the finish line at the Gold Country Fairgrounds. The people around waited and were rewarded with the sight of two Arabian horses at speed, emerging from the dark. At the very last minute, Blakely gained the advantage over Reynolds as she and RA Ares Bay crossed the finish line first at 9:27 pm to win the 2019 Tevis Cup. At 10:00 am the next morning, judging for the Haggin Cup took place. The award itself is considered to be quite prestigious and “is awarded to the horse among the first then finishers considered to be in the most superior physical condition.” Judgement for the award is based on a series of veterinary parameters and is conducted by ride veterinarians. Of all of the parameters judged, the trotout is most obvious to the audience. Monk, the 2019 Haggin Cup winner, gave onlookers a picture of fitness by nearly dragging his handler through the presentation and representing the qualities of the Arabian breed that repeatedly prove the reason for excellence in this sport. For more information about the Tevis Cup or endurance, visit teviscup.org or AERC.org.
