Reflecting on 2019, Looking Forward to 2020

actually less than 90 days from idea to finish. The hope was that there would be 10 or maybe 15 barns/ clubs/groups that would be interested in participating and hosting an event the first year. There were a total of 40 events that reached over 5,000 new and prospective Arabian Horse enthusiasts. The Task force determined that in 2020 there will be two event dates; one in May and the other again in September.

What is happening in 2020?

DEAR MEMBERS: As I write this letter for the start of 2020, I always reflect on what has happened in the year that was. It has been a very busy year at AHA as all seem to be. It has been my third year serving as your President, and I am truly honored to serve the Arabian Horse in this capacity.

2019 In brief … very brief The theme for 2019 seems to have been feedback and response. We have been working on getting feedback from our customers, members, exhibitors and sister organizations.

We have used it to help move this Association forward in a positive and responsive way and to expand our portion of the equestrian customer base. As part of this theme of feedback and response, we had the arrival and continuation of quite a few ad-hoc committees. I would like to thank all of the volunteers who worked diligently, logically and looked at the issues to which they were assigned in a progressive and non-emotional way. The committees had strong and spirited discussions and did not always agree, but they did work together to make improvements. I am humbled by their commitment, hard work and all they have accomplished in 2019 and will continue to do in 2020.

This year heralded the first event of its kind on a single day, but actually stretched out over months. The Local Involvement Task Force worked on an amazing idea of having a “Meet an Arabian Horse” day. The time frame for the event was short, and there was much to do, as the Meet an Arabian Horse day was scheduled for September 21st, 8

Issue 6. 2019

The Strategic Plan pillars were presented at the 2019 convention, and your Executive Committee will be working to bring that to completion and activation at the beginning of 2020. The MDP is working on an exciting new project called “20 in 20.” The plan is to have 20 significant events in five areas of the country during 2020. Planning is well underway with the first one being the Arabian Horse Association participation in the Tournament of Roses. In addition, we will be moving forward to fill Glenn Petty’s position as Executive Vice President. We will continue to reach out to our customers, members and breeders for feedback on their concerns and recommendations to help us improve as a breed association and a business.

I wish you all a Happy New Year and may it be filled with wonderful times spent with our amazing Arabian, Half-Arabian and Anglo-Arabian Horses.

Executive Vice President Speech, AHA Convention Part 1 of 2

DEAR MEMBERS:

This is my 12th and final time to stand before you at this convention as your Executive Vice President. Time has flown! But as announced in August, by the end of my contract on June 30, I will be moving back east.

I have thoroughly enjoyed serving you, the membership, and working with the staff and leadership of AHA. During the last seven years, we have spent $1.3 million on Capital Improvements, done out of cash reserves which meant it was done without debt. This has been for such projects as new HVAC, roof replacement, new lighting, computers, printers, servers, a new scanning system, new Multiview accounting system, website development, new software and upgraded software. We are currently in the process of replacing the original phone system with a modern VoIP system which is projected to last another 25 – 35 years. Once the phone system is completed, AHA’s infrastructure will be in good shape. Projects on our waiting list include new carpeting, cubicles, painting, and parking lot repairs.

Improvements have occurred concurrently with re-building AHA’s cash. Our Arabian Horse Life magazine has continued to struggle financially, and its future is under review. The major consideration is the cost of publication versus its value as a member service. This is the key consideration.

We just finished a very successful local promotion on September 21. In order to interest more people in our breed, additional promotions needs to take place in our local communities by our members, breeders, professionals and clubs.

Our staff is getting leaner and consists of 40 employees; 38 fulltime and two part-time. When I started nearly 12 years ago, we had 60 employees. Presently we are under a limited hiring freeze. We will be filling the Director of Marketing and Communications position, but this will be done after the Marketing Department has been analyzed for the best structure needed. And as I mentioned earlier, the future of the magazine needs to be settled. I am grateful for Kelsey Berglund, 10

Director of National Events, for taking the added responsibility of managing the Marketing Department on an interim basis.

For various reasons, we have had roughly a 24 percent turnover of personnel in the past 12 months. A major factor is that Denver’s unemployment rate is very low, and the cost of living is high. This affects our entry level employees in a big way. In the last year, Brenna Whitlock Johnson, Youth and Family Services Coordinator, moved from Marketing into National Events. This move has worked very well!

Throughout the spring, summer and fall, 18 regional championships and 318 jointly recognized USEF/AHA horse shows have been held. This is down about 25 shows from five years ago. It is felt this loss may be attributed to our One-Day and Value Show’s growth. There were 11 OneDay, 96 Value Competitions and 45 distance rides recognized this year.

Regarding our National Events, all continue to be stable.

U.S. Nationals continues to show a slight uptick in horses; Youth a slight downward trend; and Canada a decline due to a Vesicular Stomatitis outbreak, which cost us 143 horses this year; and Sport Horse fairly steady taking into consideration the East to West rotation.

Sport Horse moved to a new venue, Balmoral in Crete, Ill. Since I joined AHA, all of our national events have changed venues.

Distance Nationals was back in Vinita, Okla. this year. It again hosted six of our sister organization’s Distance Nationals. It was very successful despite the wet, cold weather.

AHA provides administrative support to the Arabian Jockey Club and its programs. Through August 2019, there were 70 unique Arabian horse owners participating in racing. They raced for a total of $995,998 in 88 races. The Darley Awards were held back in Houston this year.

It was a spectacular event that honored many horses, owners, breeders, trainers and jockeys in Arabian racing. There were several races with large purse payouts sponsored by Emirates Racing.

Registrations continue to be in a decline both for Purebreds and Part-breds with Half-Arabians starting to stabilize and trying to stem this downturn. For all breed associations, the same trend is apparent.

AHA is working closely with the National Pedigreed Livestock Council (NPLC) to try to reverse this downturn.

Transfers continue to mirror registration trends. Common thinking between the breeds for this downward trend is related to the growth of discipline competition where breed ownership papers are not required.

Sincerely,

Glenn T. Petty Executive Vice President glenn.petty@arabianhorses.org See Issue 1, 2020 for the conclusion of this speech.

Greener Pastures

Sir Habbas Pasha March 6, 1995 – July 6, 2019

(AK Sirhalima x FA Sherifaa)

IT IS WITH GREAT SADNESS THAT WE SAY GOODBYE TO THE PERFECT GENTLEMAN of West Creek Arabians, the

beautiful, black Egyptian stallion, Sir Habbas Pasha.

Bred and born in Texas at Fantasia Arabians, Pasha, or “Little SH” back then after his sire, started his show career early in life and received many accolades in the show world before becoming a superstar in the breeding shed. He came to my farm in the cold, late winter of February 2015 and stole my heart forever. To have a stallion like him was truly a gift and there will never be another one like him.

Black, substantial and correct, it wasn’t just his physical attributes or classic movement that made him so beautiful. His deep, liquid eyes were truly the windows to his beautiful soul — an old soul…so gentle, so kind, such an easy horse to be around and work with. He was a joy to keep and a special member of the family. He became our daughter’s horse; they had a special bond and shared many miles, vanilla Pepsi and quiet times together. He taught our son to ride and gave rides to our nieces and visiting children. He was always game for me to hop on and take a quick spin down the farm roads or into the woods. When I was sad, or just down from the trials and tribulations of life, I could always count on his neck to hold onto and his mane to cry in. From being a Native Costume, Reining and Western horse in the first part of his life to a Pleasure, Trail, Dressage and Hunt Seat horse in the second, as if he had done it all his whole life, he truly was the epitome of the versatile Arabian and a testament to his breeding.

As a herd sire, he loved his ladies and was always a perfect gentleman, not just to the mares in the breeding shed, but also for his handler. Depending on the year, he could be turned back out with his mares and foals to help raise them; always so gentle with them.

He even took on the role of babysitter to one of his fillies who was rejected by her dam, raised her, and taught her how to be a horse.

He leaves behind a legacy as he lives on through his get, and I am blessed to have his sons and daughters that have already begun to prove themselves in the show ring, on the trail and as family horses.

All have taken on his kind, gentle disposition, beauty and big heart.

More than anything, he leaves behind an unforgettable memory and sentiment of a truly once in a lifetime stallion that we were all so fortunate to love and experience. Until we meet again… I will miss you, and I will never forget you. Run free. n ~ Nichole Grodski, West Creek Arabians

Managing Injuries in the Equine Athlete

Equine Athlete Veterinary Services AS VETERINARIANS SPECIALIZING IN THE EQUINE ATHLETE, we recognize the importance of early injury detection and a thorough rehabilitation strategy. To help illustrate the implementation of an effective diagnosis and rehabilitation strategy, I have put together an example case study outlining a successful five-year-old Purebred Arabian stallion and his journey back to the show ring.

Diagnosis A five-year-old Purebred Arabian stallion became acutely lame left front about two weeks after winning unanimous championship at the Scottsdale Arabian Horse Show in February. The trainer observed a mild lameness in the bull pen as the horse returned to light work. The next day when the horse was pulled out for grooming, his leg was swollen, and the veterinarian was called.

On his baseline exam, the colt was Grade 2/5 lame and displayed a 3/5 response to lower limb flexion left front. Based on sensitivity and swelling directly over the medial suspensory branch of the suspensory ligament, the veterinarian recommended a diagnostic ultrasound.

This revealed a small area where the fibrous architecture of the ligament was entirely absent, commonly described as a core lesion.

Rehabilitation Options An injury of this severity could garner up to a year of rest and slow rehabilitation with treatment, or even longer with the varied results of natural healing. The available treatment options were extensively discussed with the owner and considerations — including goals with the horse, price, timeline, and severity of injury — helped the trainer-owner-veterinarian team determine the best therapy. The goal for this colt was to enter the show ring at U.S. Nationals in October.

Shockwave therapy has long been the widely accepted gold standard for tendon and ligament injuries.

Regenerative therapies are a diverse group of treatments that achieve improvement of the quality of structural repair.

likely two of the most familiar treatments under this umbrella term. This is an evolving area of research in both human and equine sports medicine. Recently established and emerging treatment options like Regenerative Laser Therapy (RLT) and RenoVo amniotic allograft may improve quality of healing and reduce overall rehabilitation time.

Rehabilitation Strategy+Implementation An aggressive treatment plan was instituted involving serial Regenerative Laser Therapy (RLT) and the regenerative therapy combination of stem cells and PRP injected into the lesion with ultrasound guidance. Treatment with RLT is tailored to the horse’s condition and ranges from daily to several days per week; the stallion was hospitalized during this time.

A recheck ultrasound exam was performed at 30 days post-diagnosis, and his exercise progressed from strict stall rest to hand walking. Though he was ready to increase his exercise beyond hand walking at 90 days, he wasn’t ready to return to lunging and was too energetic for slow work under saddle. Underwater treadmill exercise and continued hand walking helped to bridge the gap. After that, he began slow rehabilitation under saddle by starting progressive trot sets. As his rehabilitation continued under saddle, training was incorporated with the goal to show him in a Class A show in September.

A lameness exam was performed in August as he resumed light lunging and progressed into full training.

He was sound baseline and working well, however had mild sensitivity to palpation of the ligament and his flexion response was 1/5. The veterinarian recommended shockwave therapy and continued management of icing following exercise and wrapping with Incrediwear, Back On Track® or their preferred poultice overnight.

Given the dedication in implementing the rehabilitation plan and his favorable response, the decision was made to attend a Class A show that fall. The colt remained sound, and in October, attended the U.S. Nationals horse show.

There, he was managed with laser therapy and standing wraps and showed successfully.

Though every horse is different, and the variety of treatment options are truly specific to each case, there is one thing we know for sure: a definitive diagnosis and strategic treatment plan is necessary in facilitating the best possible outcome.

athy Findley remembers how excited she was when she saw the small magazine ad for riding instructor certification.

She’d been teaching for 10 years and was looking for new ways to market and promote her business.

“I was looking for a way to advance my career,” says the 56-year-old Wisconsin horsewoman. “Having an opportunity to have my safety practices and instruction skill level evaluated would be a huge bonus. I had taken some classes in Equine Management at a local college to further my education. My instruction program was solid, but I needed another way to be competitive in a growing field.”

That little ad, back in 2003, was for the Certified Horsemanship Association, or CHA, a non-profit organization that promotes safety through its accreditation of stables and certification

Can Improve Your Equine Program of instructors and other horse professionals.

“We are the largest certifying body of equine professionals in North America,” says the organization’s CEO, Christy Landwehr. “In Germany and Britain it’s required by federal law that every barn be accredited and every instructor, farrier and trainer be licensed by the government. Here in the U.S., it’s 100 percent voluntary.”

CHA was started (under the name Camp Horsemanship Association) to certify camp counselors who would be teaching riding and handling trail rides, Landwehr says.

“It was set up in 1967 by Dan Hempill from Texas who had a Girl Scout camp and advertised that he needed advanced riders to be counselors, and he got ladies that could not even put a halter on,” Landwehr says. “So he created our first ‘Composite Manual of Horsemanship Levels 1 – 4’ so that when someone hired someone who

had gone through our certification and achieved a certain level they knew what they were getting.”

Nowadays, just 40 percent of the certifications involve camp counselors, Landwehr says. The other 60 percent of horse professionals who show up at CHA events are from dude ranches, breed barns, big lesson programs and colleges and universities.

“We certify approximately 800 to 1,000 new people a year from around the U.S. and Canada during 80 clinics,” Landwehr says. “We’re always looking for sites around the country for our clinics. That is something people from the Arabian community could do, and it would be an opportunity to show what wonderful lesson horses Arabians make. There’s a huge misconception out there about Arabians being spooky and flighty.”

Findley didn’t need to be told that.

She knows from personal experience.

Most of the horses in her lesson program are Arabians or Half-Arabians.

Often when newbies show up for lessons they see the Arabians and say they’d like a different horse. “Once they get on and find out how smooth, athletic and kind Arabians are they fall in love,” Findley says. “Quite a few have gone from lessons to leasing to purchasing Arabians.”

CHA certifies instructors at whatever level they are competent to teach.

The lowest instructor level certification in English and/or Western is assistant instructor, which means the person is qualified to assist in a lesson or trail ride under the supervision of a certified instructor.

After that there are four levels of instructor, with increasing difficulty.

For example, a Level One Instructor will be qualified to teach the fundamentals to beginners “with a strong emphasis on safety and group control.

Candidates must demonstrate ability in ground handling, mounting, correct position and control at walk-trot.”

That’s compared to the Level Four Instructor in English and/or Western who will need to be qualified to im-

prove the performance of advanced riders and their horses whether they’ll be jumping courses, doing dressage movements, improving reining skills, or participating in other performance events. The Level Four Instructor will also be familiar with advanced horse management and horsemanship theory.

The instructors who come to CHA clinics first have to demonstrate they are capable of riding one level higher than that which they are certified, although the CHA does make occasional exceptions to that rule, Landwehr says. “If you’ve had a hip replacement and used to ride at a higher level you can submit a video and testimony from others,” she explains.

Then they have to show they can actually teach with CHA staff and others role playing as students at the level that is being tested.

Everyone who is trying to get certified must put in 40 hours of clinic time, Landwehr says.

There isn’t one set way to teach any skill, Landwehr says. “There might be 10,000 ways to teach the posting trot,” she explains. “We don’t mandate any certain style at all.”

There is a criteria that needs to be demonstrated during demo lessons, she says: “Is it safe? Is it educational for both horse and rider? And is it fun?”

Findley found a CHA clinic that was near her and during a slow time of the year for her business. She had researched CHA and found that there were four levels of certification, she hoped that her skills and experience would qualify her for Level 4.

“I was so excited and honored to achieve Level 4 Western and Level 4 English including jumping at my first certification,” Findley remembers.

Then she went on to achieve Master Instructor and Clinician.

On the personal skills front there were challenges. “Level 4 in English had a full course of 3’ fences,” she says.

As for Western, “the highest level was Reining,” Findley says. “You had to do Western pattern work with flying

“We’re always looking for lead changes and two tracking. The horse has to be supple to do a pattern like that.”

Certification has been a boon for Findley’s business. She uses her certification when marketing her teaching program. She also uses the CHA Standards for Equestrian Programs to align her business practices. “I made sure my facility and management routines were compatible with the CHA standards.”

Beyond that, being a member and Master Instructor with CHA provides networking with other certified instructors. It is a wonderful tool to have.

One big bonus for certification and accreditation is a potential break on liability insurance, Landwehr says.

“We work with every major insurer that does liability for instructors,” she adds. “Certified instructors will see financial savings on their insurance.

sites around the country

Getting a site accredited is a big deal, too. Savings are never less than 10 percent off, and they can be as high as 50 percent off.”

The certification can also pay off if there’s a lawsuit, Landwehr says.

“If one of our certified equine professionals has to go to court, we can be an expert witness as a third party entity that certified them at a certain level. Hopefully this never happens, but can look good in court if it does.”

The Horse With Two Names 26

A

rabian horses touch our hearts. It has been said that “the outside of a horse is good for the inside of a human,” and when the horse has a great heart, we make a connection with it that can last a lifetime. This was certainly true in the case of Deyrak (*Deyr x Arak), the Kellogg Arabian with two names.

In his quest to fulfill a childhood dream, cereal magnate W.K. Kellogg of Battle Creek, Mich. sought out the finest Arabian bloodlines of the day to begin a breeding program at his winter home in Pomona, Calif., outside Los Angeles. In 1925, he began acquiring horses from within the United States and abroad. Newspapers around the country reported on his purchases and the construction of their new home. Kellogg’s first 11 Arabians came from oil field developer Chauncey D. Clarke, whose California desert ranch was managed by a young German immigrant, Carl Schmidt. Among them were the aged desert-bred stallion *Deyr, imported by Homer Davenport in 1906, and Jadaan (*Abbeian x Amran), who had been foaled at the Hingham Stock Farm in New Hampshire. Kellogg bought more horses from F. E. Lewis II’s Diamond Bar Ranch in nearby Spadra, including the multi-talented chestnut stallion Antez (Harara x Moliah), bred by Lewis, and the gray Letan (*Muson x *Jedah), bred at Hingham.

By the end of 1925, Kellogg owned 19 purebred Arabians.

An early brochure called “The Romance of Pomona Ranch” stated, “Mr. Kellogg is thinking of his ranch at Pomona as a contribution to the entire United States, through helping to improve the saddle horse stock of the nation.”

During this era when Arabian horses were still something of a novelty in the United States, Kellogg and his advertising agency were highly effective promoters of the breed. Photographs of the Kellogg Arabians appeared in newspapers and magazines around the world, and were reproduced in postcards that are collectors’ items today.

One of the most iconic pictures of the Kellogg Arabians is best known as “The Three Graces.” It shows two Arabian mares and a colt at liberty, captured in mid-stride as they moved past the photographer on November 30, 1925.

They had been part of the purchase from Clarke: Arak (*Hamrah x *Haffia), Fasal (*Hamrah x Amran), and Arak’s colt by *Deyr. Both mares had been in foal when Kellogg bought them.

They called the chestnut colt “Latif,” but he was never registered under that name (see sidebar, page xx.) On January 11, 1926, Kellogg learned from his son, Dr. Karl H. Kellogg, that “Latif had been kicked by one of the horses while out in the paddock and that his leg was broken. A veterinarian was called and his leg was set, but present indications are that we shall not have much of a horse, even if we are able to save the colt’s life. It looks as though we would have a cripple on our hands.” A young Oklahoman who worked at the ranch, Richard B. “Dick” Hunt, became very fond of “Latif” as he helped care for the injured colt.

A week later, “Latif’s” prognosis was a little better, but his destiny was still not certain. He faded into the background of the story of the Kellogg Ranch for several months, as more of the best-known Kellogg Arabians took center stage.

1926 was a seminal year at the Kellogg Ranch: Carl Schmidt, who now worked for Kellogg, traveled to England and purchased 12 Arabians (plus two foals) from Lady Wentworth’s Crabbet Arabian Stud. They arrived in California in April, and included the stallions *Raswan (Skowronek x Rim), *Raseyn (Skowronek x Rayya), and *Nasik (Rijm x Narghileh), and the mares *Ferda (Rustem x Feluka) and *Rossana (Skowronek x Rose of Hind).

Hollywood had an immediate affinity with the Kellogg Arabians. Celebrities began having their photographs made

with the horses. *Raswan and Jadaan were loaned for the production of the film “The Son of the Sheik,” starring a frequent visitor to the ranch, Rudolph Valentino. Schmidt accompanied the horses to the desert location in Yuma, Ariz. Jadaan became famous as “the horse Valentino rode,” but *Raswan suffered a serious leg injury while under Schmidt’s care and had to be destroyed. Schmidt and Kellogg parted company after strongly disagreeing over who really owned *Raswan and how he had been hurt. Schmidt claimed the horse had been a gift to him from Lady Wentworth, but the horse was registered in Kellogg’s name. Later, Schmidt famously had his name legally changed to Carl Raswan in honor of the horse.

Meanwhile, unlike *Raswan, the colt “Latif” had quietly continued to recover from his own injury, and had become quite a pet in the stables. Dick Hunt had moved back to his native Oklahoma. In her book The Romance of the Kellogg Ranch: A Celebration of the Kellogg/Cal Poly Pomona Arabian Horses 1925-2000, Mary Jane Parkinson notes, “In fall 1926, Dr. Karl contacted Dick Hunt (who had worked on the ranch) at his home in Mill Creek, Oklahoma to see if he was interested in owning ‘Latif.’” Hunt’s response was an enthusiastic yes.

W. K. Kellogg followed up with a letter to Hunt on December 31, 1926: “Dr. Karl says that you would like Latif. The new man that we have just secured to take charge of the horses [Herbert H. Reese] recommends that we destroy Latif…. His pedigree, as you know, is quite perfect. He is just as much of a pet as ever. It seems too bad to kill the little chap, and I prefer not doing so.”

An overjoyed Hunt responded on January 10, 1927: “It 28

certainly will be good to see Latif once again. You don’t see any horses in this country to compare in any way with yours. Mr. Kellogg, you don’t know how much time I have spent explaining about your ranch and those fine horses, and now just to think that I will have Latif to care for and show my friends. He will be a show to all of them because they don’t know what good horses are until they see an Arabian.” Reading the letters and telegrams in the collections at the W. K. Kellogg Arabian Horse Library at Cal Poly Pomona, I learned that Hunt concluded his letter with a caveat about protecting “Latif” from the cold Oklahoma wind during his journey east, and noted, “I want him shipped to my brother, Fred Hunt, at Tishomingo, Oklahoma for he has a good barn and has a man caring for some Rodeo horses there this winter. He will be there to put him up just as soon as he arrives... I am, Your Friend, Dick Hunt.”

Kellogg’s January 15 response echoed Hunt’s tone: “Friend Hunt: Have asked Dr. Karl to see that the colt, Latif, is sent you by express at an early a date as possible.” “Latif” was

shipped from Southern California on February 2, and on February 7, Fred Hunt sent a telegram to Kellogg: “LATIF ARRIVED SATURDAY NIGHT BEST CONDITION.” The Arabian colt they called “Latif” who graced the famous postcard might have faded into complete obscurity.

Although his story was far from over, he didn’t resurface outside that section of rural Oklahoma for two decades.

Over the next few years, the Kellogg Ranch became a popular destination for celebrities to visit rare Arabian horses, and Kellogg Arabians appeared in several feature films. A horse show was established on Sundays to showcase the popularity and versatility of the Arabian horse. Kellogg presented the ranch to the state of California in 1932 for educational purposes, with the stipulation that the Arabian breeding program and the Sunday Shows be maintained. Hundreds of thousands of Southern Californians and tourists have attended those Sunday Shows since their inception. During World War II, use of the ranch was given to the U.S. Army as a facility for breeding war horses. The Kellogg Ranch property became the Pomona Quartermaster Depot in 1943.

The war ended in 1945. In 1947, Dick Hunt was living near the town of Sulphur, south of Oklahoma City. The Kellogg Ranch property was still being used as an Army Remount Center. In February, W. K. Kellogg’s secretary received a telephone call from Oklahoma State Senator Homer Paul, who had an unexpected request. The senator wondered what it would take to get the now 22-year-old

“Latif” registered with the Arabian Horse Club. Paul said the chestnut stallion had become the sire of a number of excellent stock horses on Oklahoma ranches, and their owners wanted to register them in the Half-Arabian Stud Book, which was being operated at the time by the Remount. “Latif” would need to be registered with the Arabian Horse Club for that to happen. The secretary reported this to Kellogg, who immediately telephoned Albert W. Harris, the director of the Arabian Horse Registry.

Kellogg expressed his own desire to see “Latif” registered, and Harris affirmed that it would be possible “providing certain definite information could be vouched for by responsible people.”

Next, Kellogg, always the businessman, dictated a letter to the commanding officer of the Pomona Quartermaster Depot, Colonel F. W. Koester, delegating the responsibility of helping to register “Latif” to him. Koester wrote back to Paul, saying that he had already begun investigating what it would take to get “Latif” registered. Paul followed up with a telegram insisting that W. K. Kellogg be notified of the request.

It might seem odd that an elected official would get involved in registering a 22-year-old horse. However, Senator Paul had a reputation as a very forthright and determined lawmaker; it seems completely in character for him to take the lead in getting his neighbor’s horse registered. Paul had been first elected to public office at age 21, serving for six years in the Oklahoma house and 16 more in the state senate. His family farm in Pauls Valley was not far from Sulphur, in the heart of a part of Oklahoma so well known for its cattle ranches it was called “Hereford Heaven,” where Dick Hunt was now living.

An even more influential and colorful neighbor soon joined the discussion. On February 27, Oklahoma Governor Roy J. Turner wrote to W. K. Kellogg to add his enthusiastic support to the effort to register “Latif:” “I have a ranch in southeastern Oklahoma, and I produce quite a number of horses; it may be of interest to you to know that the best

*Latif, the Polish Arabian

ABOUT IMPORTED *LATIF The Arabian registered in 1937 as *Latif is worthy of note. This chestnut stallion had been conceived in Poland, a son of the US-born, world-traveling Antez and the mare *Lassa. (For more on Antez, please see the article by Tobi Lopez Taylor in Arabian Horse Life, Issue 6, 2018.)

Purchased from Tadeusz Gniazdowski in Poland and imported to the United States in 1937 by General J.M. Dickinson of Travelers Rest Arabian Stud, *Lassa arrived in foal to Antez with *Latif. (Through Antez, *Latif had *Deyr, the sire of Deyrak, in his male line.) Carol Mulder noted in the March 1980 issue of Arabian Horse World that *Latif spent his stud career in Arizona, Texas, and California. During his 12 seasons at stud, *Latif had 24 offspring, including Potif (x Zeppo) and Fertif (x Ferdiaseyna).

Mulder noted, “It is clear that *Latif had obvious talents as a sire.” n Photo courtesy of Andra Kowalczyk Martens

brood mare that I have, and the mare that produces the most useful horses for my ranch work is sired by Latif.”

Turner was understating the situation; his 10,000-acre ranch near Sulphur was the home of some of the state’s best-known Hereford sires. An avid horseman, he supported the 4H Club, staged rodeos for charity, and even wrote cowboy songs. (Three of Turner’s songs, including one called “Hereford Heaven,” were performed at the wedding of his friends, cowboy stars Roy Rogers and Dale Evans, on a nearby ranch at the end of 1947.)

A letter from Major Cecil Edwards of the Pomona Quartermaster Remount to Dick Hunt on March 14 summarized what he had been able to determine about “Latif’s” history. “Prior to the date of weaning said foal suffered a broken leg… Old timers here state that the said Latif owes his life to your interest and nursing; that he was scheduled for destruction but because of your intercession was spared and that you personally aided in his nursing towards ultimate recovery.” Edwards sent Hunt a certificate to fill out for the Arabian Horse Club, covering the identification of the horse, acquisition, and transfer. He also asked Hunt to submit “photographs of the stallion bearing your certificate of identity.”

Hunt responded on April 4, enclosing copies of photographs of his Arabian, with his name written on the back. He affirmed that the horse had never been transferred by him, and that he still owned the horse. Hunt’s handwritten footnote adds: “Call him Deyrak.” Koester had notified Paul that an imported Arabian had been registered in 1937 as *Latif. Hunt’s photo of the 22-year-old Deyrak under western tack shows that the aged stallion had a plain but animated face, with the broad white blaze of

One more piece of information was needed to complete the registration. On April 21, Col. Koester reached out to Carl Raswan at his Cedar Crest, N.M. Arabian ranch. Raswan had been the manager of Chauncey Clarke’s ranch when Arak was bred to *Deyr, and since Clarke had died in 1926, Raswan could sign the necessary breeder’s certificate to have Deyrak registered. On April 24, Raswan responded in a hand-written letter: “I signed the papers and hope it will help to register Deyrak. He certainly deserves it (and the owner)!” And on May 6, the Arabian Horse Club wrote to Col. Koester that Deyrak’s papers were in order and they were sending the certificate of registration.

Apparently Deyrak did not sire any purebred Arabians, and even given the testimony of Turner and Paul, it is difficult to find records of Deyrak’s offspring. The Appaloosa Horse Club registry does show that Deyrak sired two Appaloosas owned by Fred Hunt: the roan mare Plover, foaled in 1950, and the red roan stallion Wahoo Lep in 1953. Both were bred by Fred Hunt and out of one of his mares. (Several other early registered Appaloosas were sired by purebred Arabians. One of the most noted of these sires was another Kellogg Arabian, Ferras (*Ferdin x *Rasima), owned by renowned Appaloosa and Arabian breeder Claude Thompson of Oregon.)

After Deyrak was registered, Homer Paul continued to correspond with Harris and Kellogg, expressing a desire to learn more about Arabians and to own an Arabian stallion of his own. He told Kellogg that he had organized a local Half-Arabian Club with 61 members, “and all of the interest they have comes through the offspring of the little stallion you gave Dick Hunt.” A March 1948 letter from Major Charlie B. Team of the Pomona Quartermaster Depot told Kellogg that the Depot had recently sent two Arabian stallions to Oklahoma, and Paul had been given his choice.

He selected Pomona Abbadon (Rifnas x Ferafa). But Paul died in January 1949 of complications from a fall in his barn. He was only 44 years old.

The Army stopped breeding horses in 1948, and much

Deyrak’s sire, Deyr

of the Pomona Quartermaster Depot’s stock — including Arabian horses — was dispersed around the country. The fate of the property was uncertain; then in 1949, after much debate, the large Kellogg Ranch property became part of the state of California’s university system. Deyrak’s name and image surfaced in the April 1961 issue of “The Arab Horse Journal.” In her article “Remember the Mare,” Gladys Brown Edwards used Deyrak as an example of a horse that resembled its sire rather than its dam In The Romance of the Kellogg Ranch, Parkinson concluded the story of Deyrak: “Dick Hunt never ceased to be proud of him and grateful to Mr. Kellogg. He wrote to Mr. Kellogg in 1948: ‘I want to thank you again for giving me the colt, and he has been a great pleasure and pride.’

Mrs. Fred Hunt, Dick Hunt’s sister-in-law, supplied this information about Deyrak in 1974: ‘Latif died about 1953 or 1954 of old age. He was gentle, and we used him for a saddle horse as well as for breeding.’”

Deyrak achieved W. K. Kellogg’s goal of “helping to improve the saddle horse stock of the nation.” Koester told Kellogg, “Hearing the reports on the contribution this stallion has made to the horses of the community wherein he has held court represents another positive proof of the theory that a good Arabian sire is an outstanding success in contributing to the quality of our national light horse resources.”

We’ll never know the full extent of Deyrak’s influence as a sire of Half-Arabians. But there is no question that he made a big impact on the people who knew and loved him.

If there is one national show that everyone seems to love, it is Youth Nationals. This year, held from July 19 through July 27 in Oklahoma City, was no exception. Of course there is stiff competition, and riders all want to do their best and come home with a Top Ten or a Championship. But this show is about more than competition. It is about camaraderie, sportsmanship and fellowship that can be seen in the barns, in the warmup ring, in the stands and even in the competition ring. Champions are crowned, but everyone there is a winner.

A SECOND CHANCE Sarah Crouse, from Ash Grove, Mo., put out a post that went viral in the Arabian horse community.

This is how she told her story.

JUST OVER TWO YEARS AGO A LITTLE PUREBRED GELDING was checked in at the auction I work at (a job I just sort of fell into randomly, but it gives me a great chance to snatch up the good ones!) as a reject from the public lesson program he was donated to. I looked him up on AHA and realized he was a national Top Ten Sport Horse in Hand as a 2-year-old and had been shown Sport Horse Under Saddle. I also knew a family with three girls that show who were dear clients and friends of mine. Two of them had Arabian horses to show, but the third daughter hadn’t quite found her perfect equine match yet. She just hadn’t found her heart horse. I immediately texted the mom that I thought I may have found her daughter a horse.

They showed up at the sale that night and stayed until 1:00 a.m. when he ran through on the loose. (For those of you not familiar with horse auctions, the loose horses are run into the ring without any tack. They are sold as is and often end up with the kill buyers). He sold for more than I expected him to because apparently some girls that rode him in lessons came to run the bids up to try to keep him from going to slaughter. The family bought him for $600.

Horse and girl hit it off immediately. They have had their ups and downs, of course, but they have grown into the most perfectly matched pair. His young rider has continued to step up her skills and improve her horse, while forming that special bond unique to teenage girls and their much loved mounts.

By the end of the show they were Reserve National Champions in Training Level JTR 13 and Under and National Champions in the Training Level JOTR. From a back-tag number on his hip to roses around his neck! Sometimes taking a chance on a horse is the best decision you will ever make. I’m SO proud of these two. ~Sarah Crouse

LINDSAY MOSBY LINDSAY SHAW HAD ALWAYS WANTED TO PARTICIPATE IN YOUTH Nationals with her BFF Dreamin Me On++++///, a.k.a. Mosby, owned by the wonderful Mello family from Woodside, Calif.

My daughter’s amazing trainer, Chrystal Wood, the riding director from the Grier School in Tyrone, Pa., put the two of them together, and Lindsay began riding Mosby five years ago when she was 12. The two hit it off immediately, and he’s been her heart horse ever since.

The two showed at Sport Horse Nationals in N.C. in 2015, but Lindsay broke her collarbone 10 days prior to the show. With her all bandaged up, they still competed and were able to bring home a Top Ten in HA/AA Hunter Hack.

In June 2017, Mosby coliced, and we thought we were going to lose him. We were all heartbroken, but the Mello family knew how special Mosby was and had surgery performed to save his life. After a year-long recovery, Lindsay and Mosby started to show again and did well at local shows and Regional AHA shows.

Financially we were never able to send Lindsay to Youth Nationals, but some very generous donors and Angel sponsors made the 2019 trip possible for them. They showed in eight classes over the week and achieved five Top Tens, two Reserve Championships and, on the final day in the last class, they achieved what Lindsay has been wanting for the past five years — a National Championship in the HA/AA Hunt Seat Equitation, Not to Jump, Junior to Ride, 14 to 18.

This was an absolute dream come true, as the two have had such a tough road over the past few years, and it was a perfect ending to such an amazing week! ~Julie Shaw

Canadian Nationals stands alone as the only AHA championship show offering a full range of competition, from Youth to Sport Horse to Main Ring, all with Canadian flair. Held this year from August 11 to 17, competitors once again faced off at the Keystone Center in Brandon, Manitoba. Unfortunately, an outbreak of Vesicular Stomatitis in the U.S. kept 143 horses from attending, but as they say, the show must go on.

n

Here we show Friday and Saturday night’s champions who faced off at Westoba Place. For all the champion and reserve champions, visit ArabianHorses.org/ competition/national-events/national-results/.

My Cnl story n Photo courtesy of Joe Alberti

OUTSIDE THE RING Pharoah CRF with Owen Janecki.

PHAROAH CRF IS A HORSE OF FIRSTS. Purchased

by Chestnuthill Arabians and Joe Alberti in April 2019, this four-year-old purebred Polish-bred stallion introduced “zero experience” amateur handler Patrick Janecki and his family to the breed. Now, as Pharoah’s new owner, the two are having a great time! To qualify at the 2019 Region 15 Championships in Lexington, Va., Pharaoh and Patrick took first place in an ATH Stallion class; went Reserve Champion with Joe in Arabian Hunter Junior Horse; and Top 5 in Open Hunter with Stefanie Simonson.

Then, exemplifying the loveable Arabian horse versatility, Pharoah gave Patrick’s 7-year-old son, Owen, his very first pony ride. Attending their first national show, in Brandon, Patrick and Pharoah took Reserve National Champion AOTH Stallion, and now have their eyes turned toward attending their first U.S. Nationals in Tulsa.

MEGAN BUKSA IS DRIVEN. The only child of Kerri and Richard Buksa of Sherwood Park, near Edmonton, Alb., Canada, anyone who encounters Megan’s focus surely ponders whether they’ve met the next world-famous female entrepreneur with solid working-class family roots. This self-assured, 15-year-old Country English Pleasure rider took a summer camp sewing class at age six that has set her on the road to horse-attire businesswoman, happily dragging both grandmothers, mom, Kerri, who also shows, and trainer Kim Seward, along with a supportive show barn family.

Now an accomplished seamstress and purveyor of much sought-after tail bags, saddle bags, custom bridle brow bands, and the like, at shows Megan wheelbarrows her forsale goods through stall aisles to repeat and new customers.

The proceeds are used to cover her horse showing costs for the season. In addition, Megan regularly donates proceeds to Canadian Breast Cancer Research and recently made 300 pillowcases and donated all of them to a pediatrician at Stollery Children’s Hospital in Edmonton.

Clearly, not all of Megan’s waking hours are spent behind her sewing machines, as her in-the-saddle time has paid nice dividends, too. Aboard her Half-Arabian gelding IM McDreamy CRF+, Megan won her first Canadian Nationals Championship in Half-Arabian Country English Pleasure JTR Select and a Reserve in Half-Arabian Country English Pleasure JOTR. Those were followed by a Reserve Championship in Saddle Seat Equitation 14-18 aboard her mother’s Half-Arabian gelding Turbo Charger+, and Megan wrapped up the week with a national Top Ten in HalfArabian JOTR Country English Pleasure with her mare HA Tserafina.

MANY KNOW AMATEUR OWNER/RIDER STACEY DUNN OF CHICAGO, ILL. She serves as a positive force, sometime voice of the amateur competitor, and a consummate volunteer at local, regional and national levels of the Arabian Horse Association. With her for 22 of his 23 years is Stacey’s Purebred gelding, BC Huck Finn+/, better known to all as “Dennis.” She bought him as a weanling for $500.

Plans on the road to Brandon were big. Fox Hollow Farms’ Juli Goder-Larson and Stacey co-sponsored the entire qualifying show year for Dennis and youth rider Téa Thomas of Geneseo, Ill. The march toward Canada was a good investment of sweat equity, talent and treasure.

At Canadian Nationals, Dennis was entered in a mix of classes — including Arabian Trail, Ranch Open, Western

through with right eye blindness being the only lasting symptom of his injury. After two months of stall rest he went back into training. Since 2016, Gunny has won eight National Championships, two Reserves, and six National Top Tens.

This is the first year Gunny, Beckey, and trainer/rider Noelle Roberts of Delacreme Equestrian of Temecula, Calif. are venturing to both Brandon, then following a short cross-country haul with respite, to Sport Horse Nationals at Balmoral Hunter/Jumper Equestrian Center in Crete, Ill. In Brandon, Gunny and Noelle took National Championships in Working Hunters and Greenhawk Handy Hunter Classic and Reserve Champion in both Hunter Hack and Sport Horse Under Saddle. Top Ten honors went to Beckey and Gunny in Sport Horse Under Saddle ATR and Hunt Seat Equitation not to jump AATR.

Pleasure, JTR Select Horsemanship; and Hunt Seat Equitation — with three-year-old Hudson, son of Abby and Thatch Weisenberg of Fremont, Wis. showing Leadline.

Shortly after arriving in Brandon, Dennis began to show signs of founder. While he and Hudson did show Leadline, Dennis spent the show under a vet’s care, and all other classes were scratched. It’s no surprise that Stacey lives by “Love the horse first, the sport second.”

Stabilized at the end of the weeklong show, Dennis was still looking at a 17-hour haul home to Fox Hollow Farms.

Trainer Ricky Johnson of Johnson Equestrian in Newcastle, Calif., donated a horse trailer mattress to add a bit more cushion to the gelding’s journey. “Our Arabian family is the best!” says Stacey. “We’re in wait-and-see mode now.

I’m hoping Dennis and I can show together locally in 2020. We’ll see.”

THE SKULL-AND-CROSSBONES CHARM THAT SPARKLES ON HIS BRIDLE’S NEAR SIDE is a reminder that three years ago the now 14-year-old Purebred gelding Remington W+// (“Gunny”) sustained a life-threatening head injury.

For 10 days his owners Beckey Adams-Downing and Donald Downing of Anza, Calif. had no idea if he would live as the injury was allowing air into his brain and spinal cord. To add worry to the incident, their vet could not assure them that if Gunny did live that he could ever be ridden again. After intensive treatment, Gunny pulled

My SHN story n

A FAMILY

By Emma Doherty

TWO GENERATIONS OF THE HERBST FAMILY ENJOYED 2019 Sport Horse National show (SHN) held at Balmoral Park, Crete, Ill., with a third cheering them on from home. Kassidy Tiefenauer (formerly Herbst) of Tiefenauer Training, attended the show along with her parents and sister. Kassidy, her sister Kaylan Hopper and her mother Kristi Herbst, with support from Dad and husband, Denny, all earned National and Reserve National Championships at the show, making it a year to remember.

“I have been to almost every East Coast rotation and two West Coast

Issue 6. 2019

rotations of the show and have never seen the quality of Sport Horses that I saw at Balmoral,” Kassidy shares. “For us to do so well, in the deepest competition possible, was truly a life changing experience.”

For the Herbst family, Arabian horses are a longtime love passed down through generations.

“My mother, Kristi Herbst, grew up in Farmington, Mo. just like Kaylan and I did,” Kassidy explains. “Thanks to her grandfather she always had a multitude of ponies to ride. When she was sixteen, she was taken under the wing of Mrs. Caroline Chastain, who had a large Arabian breeding program and is still the reason we live in an Arabian-rich area despite being in the ‘middle of nowhere,’ Missouri. Caroline showed my mother the beauty, versatility and intelligence of the Arabian horse. For this I could not be more grateful as she started a legacy in our area that we continue now, and I hope my children will carry into the future.”

“I have been riding since I could walk.

My sister Kaylan Hopper also grew up in the saddle and now lives in Houston with her husband and has a small breeding

AFFAIR

program they call Bourbon Bit Ranch.”

Though Sport Horses are now her primary passion, Kassidy’s journey and experience in the equine industry is as vast as it is varied. “After a childhood filled with horses, I worked for several different cutting trainers, as well as getting the Sport Horse program started at Toskhara Arabians and working for Stacy Smitherman DVM, in Texas,” she recalls. “These experiences all taught me an invaluable amount of skills for working with horses. I came home with a whole new toolbox of ideas and thoughts to put into a training and coaching program of my own — Tiefenauer Training — at my Family’s facility, Herbst Farms.”

Horses are absolutely a family affair for the Herbsts. “I’m lucky to be supported by my amazing husband, Mike. I honestly could not do my job if it was not for him,” admits Kassidy. “We have two children, three-year-old Kordelia and five-year-old Kort, who both stay home with him when I am traveling for long shows.” Like she and her sister, and her mother before them, Kassidy’s children are growing up with horses and in particular, the Arabian horse.

“I feel like Arabians are in our blood,” Kassidy says. “All of us get completely bored on a horse that isn't as intelligent, quick thinking and forward as we are.

We love horses that challenge us — that is how you develop the best relationship with a horse.”

“We ride Sport Horses primarily, though we started doing main ring Hunter, Western Pleasure, Saddle Seat, Costume, Show Hack and lots of Trail classes growing up. After working with trainer Kim Berkley, the then owner of Dez Rey Arabians, I was immediately hooked on Kassidy Herbst Tiefenauer Sport Horses and took my mom with Majarres Cairo+ and sister with me, though I still rode some other disciplines. Even now, I Photography By Richard Hopper have a client or two who are primarily main

ring riders because I believe as Kim taught me that we must do what the horses tell us they want to do. Arabians are the master of versatility, and the Sport Horse divisions really show that over and over again.”

This versatility was well demonstrated at SHN by team Tiefeunauer. In addition to their barn family and client’s many successes, the Herbst women accrued an impressive set of results of their own.

“This show started off with a bang with my mom Kristi winning her very first National Championship on the first day in the First Level ATR with Aur Magic Mirage+++//,” Kassidy shares. “During my semi-final/final for the HA/AA SHUS Junior Horse class, I felt like my horse was as with me as he ever has been. I could not believe my darling Majarres

Cairo was going around as beautifully as he was. To hear his name called as National Champion left me in absolute disbelief and tears. Later in the week Kaylan won Reserve National Champion HA/AA Hunter Hack AAOTR on TA Lucky Lad. In addition to this, all three of us won multiple Top Tens.”

Success was made sweeter for Kassidy by sharing with those closest to her. “The number one thing we accomplished at SHN was a great time with amazing friends and family, all of whom were able to succeed in the arena,” she says. “Every horse we took came home with a ribbon, and in such deep competition this year that means a lot! We were all able to cheer each other on and cry happy tears together. Sometimes all the stars align to make the best things

happen, and that was the case for us at SHN.” For Kassidy, Kaylan and Kristi, their victories were the highlight of a show already made great by those with whom they shared it. “Barn families are not just families of blood,” Kassidy insists. “They are families of people who are brought together with the love of their horses, the kind of real love that it takes to continue in such a hard sport like equestrianism. The love of our beautiful Arabian horses can bring together even the most unlikely of people into a group, and once we adopt you into our barn family, you are family for life.

I was blessed to share this Sport Horse Nationals, and success, with my fantastic family — blood and barn both.” n Issue 6. 2019

AROUND THE SHOW The Future in Red SPECTATORS AND COMPETITORS ALIKE STOPPED TO WATCH 12-year-old Amelya Drake sit deep as she worked a feisty 12.2 hand Welara gelding, nine-year-old red roan Cinnamon Shaker+++/, to slow his rocketing pace. This was one of many such sessions during Amelya’s 2019 U.S. Sport Horse Nationals — her first.

She split saddle time and nine classes between this pony and his eight-year-old, younger full sibling, 13.2 hand, silver bay mare, Twisted Sissy++++//.

Living in Memphis, N.Y. in the AHA’s Region 16 Syracuse area, this poised, smiling, mouth-full-of-braces, flaming redhead has been riding for almost five years and is no stranger to competition. In fact, Amelya was number seven of 10 in the Youth Amateur Achievement Award Standing for 2018. That noted, Amelya freely admits to wrestling with an anxiety disorder.

Her advice? “I have had to learn things. Mainly, to push through and do it and not to focus on the nerves,” said Amelya. “These ponies take care of me. I love them so much.”

Amelya rode nine classes with the highlight being the National Championship with Cinnamon Shaker in Arabian/HalfArabian/AngloArabian 14.2 & Under Working Hunter. She also got a Top Ten in that same class aboard Twisted Sissy, plus three additional Top Tens in other classes with the two horses.

The Canaday Family

V for Versatility TO AN OUTSIDE OBSERVER, THEIRS MAY SEEM AN UNPLEASANT, cheek-by-jowl existence, residing full time in a three-horse living quarters trailer, but husband-andwife team Debbie and Dayton Canaday have done this as a team since August 2012 and still enjoy it. Hailing from Juneau, Alaska, these self-described “horse show hobos” own and show the 2014 dark dappled-grey Botswana son, Mozambique V++++//, a handsome gelding sporting the Varian “V” on his left hip.

And it really is a team effort. Dayton calls all of Debbie and Moze’s Dressage tests, and he knows which tack goes with which discipline and how to put it on. While Debbie braids, he polishes hooves. In addition, Dayton oversees all mechanic maintenance for their truck and trailer to keep their horse show efforts moving forward with as little mechanical down time as possible.

Referencing the AHA website “The AHA’s premier recognition program is for horses that actively compete.

As points are accumulated, its Achievement Awards symbols are printed behind a horse’s name to provide a visible sign of honor and prestige. This unique program may be the only one in the equine industry that adds achievement symbols that become a permanent part of a horse’s name.” In one and a half seasons at 10 shows, Mozambique V accomplished the AHA’s top awards — the

Like Mother, Like Daughter

Legion of Master and the Legion of Excellence — granting him the “++++//” after his name forever, at age five!

With 14 days rest between Brandon, Manitoba and Crete, Ill., the last two national shows of his 2019 season alone garnered six Top Ten Awards and two Reserve Championships at Canadian Nationals, followed by Moze’s Sport Horse National accolades — two more Top Tens, three Reserve National Championships and his first National Championship – Western Dressage ATR. In addition to “Varian,” Moze’s V freeze brand could well stand for “versatility.”

Debbie and Moze show English Trail, Western Dressage, Show Hack, Dressage, Sport Horse Under Saddle, Sport Horse In Hand, Hunter Pleasure, Western Pleasure, Ranch Riding and Jumping. Debbie prides herself in making every effort to expose Moze to many different disciplines to see what he is best at and what he enjoys the most.

“I think if your horse enjoys what he is doing, it will show, and he will carry himself with his ears up. The judges will notice a happy horse, one who enjoys his job,” said Debbie.

Debbie & Dayton Canaday with Mozambique V++++//

“I DIDN’T THINK I COULD DO MY HOBBY AS A JOB,” said 32-year-old Aly Josephs, head trainer at Region 10’s An Tearmann Arabian Sport Horses in Lodi, Wisc.

Originally from Somonauk, Ill., Aly is the daughter of Our Farm owner, trainer and riding coach Bobbi Eisenberg. She grew up riding “Mom-trained” Arabians and Andalusians competing in Reining and all levels of Dressage through Prix St George.

Finishing her third show season working for owners Jen Hamilton, DDS and Tim Schaap, Aly’s labors at its 12-horse barn with six-horse-show string are bearing fruit Aly Josephs

in the form of multiple Sport Horse Nationals Top Tens across SHUS, SHIH and Dressage Training Level disciplines.

Bobbi had been coaching Jen and Tim, and when their trainer left, opportunity knocked. Not sure which way to turn, Bobbi suggested Aly as a bridge until a new trainer could be found. Aly’s dedication and horse skills won her the position.

When asked why she felt comfortable enough to recommend her daughter to a client, Bobbi replied, “Because she never stepped away from the horses, even during college she volunteered at a therapeutic riding program. Horses have always been her passion. Aly has studied hard at her riding and she’s always been her own worst critic. It’s paid off and it shows.” n

DRESSAGE & WESTERN DRESSAGE

JESSIE BONNEAU Jessie Bonneau, currently living in Las Vegas, Nev. but originally from France, was 2-years-old when she rode her first horse. She spent her younger years competing in jumping and 3-day eventing. At the time she was not a fan of Dressage because it consisted of “boring circles and was too slow compared to jumping.” However, she realized that to win in eventing, she needed to get a good Dressage score so she dedicated more time and effort to it.

Jessie moved to Miami in 2007 and settled in Las Vegas in 2008. There she worked for Tournament of Kings at the Excalibur Hotel where she had 30 horses (Arabians, Friesians and Andalusians) in training and 14 riders to teach. In addition to that, Jessie built her business JB Horsetraining by teaching children and adults at all levels in a variety of disciplines. She has competed in Dressage, Hunter/Jumper, Western Dressage, English and Western Pleasure.

Her main focus currently is the 12-year-old rescue National Show Horse stallion Skies The Limitt+/. “I have known him since he was 4-years-old when he was a client’s horse. I started and trained him for a year. Then he bounced from barn to barn because his owner couldn’t afford him. He was locked in a stall for nine months, barely fed, no maintenance, no care and no love. When I saw him like that in 2014 I cried and decided to rescue him. It took me a year to get him in shape physically and mentally. We started at Training Level and moved all the way to Prix Saint Georges in less than four years with the help of my awesome coach Chris Federer.”

“Because my horse is Half-Arabian, I was curious to know more about that amazing world. I heard so much good about it from my friend Glenda Nixon (a big Arabian lover and owner).” As a result, Jessie showed successfully in 2018 and 2019 at the Regional Championships in Scottsdale, Ariz.

“In April 2019, my horse was a demo horse for ‘Train the Trainer’ Western Dressage program in Las Vegas. That was the first experience ever for him in Western Dressage and under Western tack. I had the chance to meet two amazing clinicians, Frances Carbonnel and Cliff Swanson, both of whom told me my horse would be great in Western Dressage. I did one schooling show in June and then decided to enter the Western Dressage World Championship Show in October in Guthrie, Okla.

They had incredible success with a World Champion WDAA title in Level 1 Test 3. They also earned: • WDAA Arabian/Half Arabian Breed High Score Award with a score of 77.222% • High Score CAWDA Horse & Rider • 4th Place WDAA Level 1 Division • 6th Place WDAA Level 1 Test 4 • 8th Place WDAA Level 1 Test 1 “I couldn’t be happier. This wonderful journey would not have happened if I didn’t get the precious help of my family and friends/clients who supported me and contributed to our success.”

Jessie sums it up with this most appropriate quote: “Alone we can do so little, together we can do so much.” ~ Helen Keller You can contact with Jessie via email at jessie-bonneau@hotmail.com.
