P R ES IDEN TS MESSAGE

We are living in a time of great uncertainty right now and as a result our normally planned club activities have been disrupted. All of us were looking forward to spring and warmer weather and were planning our show schedule for the season but as we know, COVID-19 has caused the cancellation of all shows to date.

Social distancing rules have been implemented to help us stay healthy, however, for some it also means being distant from our horses which can be very difficult. I hope with the easing of these restrictions everyone will be able to get back to riding safely.

We have a group of hardworking directors, have welcomed some new people for 2020 and are currently making plans for the late summer and fall. We have been asked by Region 17 to give up our September show dates for them to hold the Regional 17 Championship show from the 9th to the 13th of September in Red Deer, Alberta. Therefore, we have moved our AAHABC Fall Frolic dates to August 28-30, 2020, at Thunderbird Show Park. Hopefully the province will lift the gathering restrictions by then and we can hold the show as well as the annual banquet.

AHA has waived all qualifications for both Regional and National shows this year. Should the borders open up by September, some of our members may also aim for Sport Horse Nationals and US Nationals.

Things are difficult for everyone right now but we, as a horse community, have great resilience and strength and are bound together by the love of the Arabian horse. We may not be able to show yet but we still have these incredible animals that bring happiness to our lives. I encourage you all to be safe, practice social distancing and stay home. Together we can end this pandemic and get back to our normal routines. I look forward to seeing you all at the Fall Frolic in August!

Nicki Muller AAHABC President

The founding president was Dr. W.G. “Tony” Newby, a local dentist in the Fraser Valley Area. Also elected directors were Mrs. K. Cullins of Vancouver as the first Vice-President, M. Harrison of Duncan as the second Vice-President, M. Finlayson of Sea Island as the secretary-treasurer, Miss Mollie Latimer as the magazine correspondent, and Miss Kay Cullins as the press representative. After the original club was formed, sometime in the early 70s, the Half-Arabian horse owners broke away from the original club to form their own club to promote the Half-Arabian horse. In an email with Victoria Collins, Membership, and Club Liaison, for the Arabian Horse Association, it was determined that the date of official registration for the Half-Arab club (according to their records) was in 1986.

Amidst the chaos of the COVID-19 pandemic happening all around the globe, the opportunity arose to interview a few prominent members, including the past AAHABC president, Kimberly Toye. When first meeting Kimberly it becomes very clear that she is an excellent ambassador for the club. Her friendly and welcoming personality is encouraging for any new and potential members. Kimberly (who has been a director of the club for approximately 20 years) was more than willing to help start the club research by providing the current goals, which are: “To prove, foster, and develop Arabian and Half Arabian horse activities, to sponsor shows and to encourage equestrian activities in the Lower Mainland in BC.” These same goals have continued through the years, and now seventy years later, the club still stands with a total of 103 adult members and 28 youth.

Kimberly described the workings of the club, emphasizing the “tremendous amount of detail that goes into organizing a show at the club level.” In her experience, it is a challenge to keep all the moving parts organized, and the planning for the event must begin months in advance. All the Directors take on responsibilities and communicate with each other at the monthly meetings to see how everything is coming along. “Organizing a competition is a lot of work. No one person can do it by themselves; it takes teamwork, and lots of follow up to make sure that the show will run smoothly.” It is understandable then, that this is a challenging year for the Arabian community as all the shows have been cancelled. The hard work of the individuals who run the events plus the owners and trainers who prepared their horses have led to disappointment. Fortunately, one thing we can be sure of, its that this pandemic will not curb our spirit. This club and the larger global Arabian community has been around for many years and will continue long after the struggles of today have passed.

Roughly ten years before the club was formed, a gentleman by the name of Cliff Latimer purchased an Arabian Stallion, which became one of six in Canada in 1940. The bay stallion, Adounad, was nine years old and stood at 14.3 hands. He was out of Adouba

by Hanad and bred by Pamona Ranch in California. Adounad was a direct descendant of Hamrah, who was imported from Arabia by Walter Davenport in 1906 and at the time represented one of the great families of Arabian horses. This appears to be where the Arabian horse first got its start in the Fraser Valley. Four years later, Dr. and Mrs. Newby purchased Ur Arabah, a grey yearling Arabian filly from Dr. Gordon A. Dutt of Great Falls, Montana. Ur Arabah was by Adonis (son of Mirage and out of Curfa by Ribal) and out of Anah (daughter of Kaaba, and Medina by El Buiad). The Newby family became the second Chilliwack Valley residents to purchase a purebred Arabian. Dr. Newby then announced his plans to raise Arabians on his farm in Sardis, and in 1945 he imported a second filly from Travellers Rest Arabian in Franklin, Tennessee. The filly was named Horadabu by Crubathan (a famous Polish stallion), and out of Nahrawana. In the same year, Chilliwack Arabian Stud Farms Ltd. imported the Arabian stallion, Sheik Al Jebal, from Great Falls, Montana. Finally, the very first registered Arabian foal to be bred in British Columbia was born on May 17, 1947, by Sheikhel-Jebal and out of Ur Arabah. It was a chestnut colt named Sheikbera and owned by the Newby family.

In 1956 the Chilliwack 84th Annual Exhibition made Arabian history, according to Calgary judge, Professor Grant McEwan, when the show was considered to be the first of its kind staged anywhere in Canada. The Chilliwack Progress reported that over 70 horses competed in 32 classes with three or four entries coming from the states. There were expected to be 19 more American entrants, but they were refused entry at the border because they had not been vaccinated against sleeping sickness. In 1959 the show moved to the Pacific National Exhibition (PNE), where the opening night event was an all Arabian horse show. In an article in the Coast News from August 6, 1959, they described the event as: The greatest single-day All Arabian Horse Show in Canada and the Pacific Northwest will be a PNE top opening day feature. More than 100 champion class animals mounted by riders costumed by riders in gaudy, flowing Arab accouterments will participate in the day-long special classes and performances.

The PNE that year was labelled a “Salute to the Orient,� and the show itself was a great success with 173 members of the BC division of the Arabian Horse Association of Western Canada acting as co-sponsors.

Dr. Newby has sadly passed, but his son Patrick, who used to be a prominent competitor in the area and now a Level 1 AHA International Judge, was able to provide insight into the early days. The community at the time was very involved with Arabian horses and shows.

As well, the Arabian circle itself had a strong sense of community. Patrick remembers the classes always being full, with an average of twenty-five horses in every class, including the halter classes. He describes the competition as intense with excellent breeders and trainers through the 70s, 80s, and into the 90s. He also said that “in those days, it was affordable in the masses to show horses; you didn’t need to be rich or famous.” At the time, there were at least twenty shows that a person could enter during the show season.

Rosemary Reed was also available for an interview and echoed Patrick’s thoughts saying “it was a great time to show, Arabian classes were huge”. She also mentioned that she met many people in her days of showing that she continues to consider good friends.

In those early days, some of the more outstanding individuals were: Lewis McKim (now a Level 1 AHA International Judge) showing Abu Rafael, Fred McKim showing Abu Jameel, Patrick Newby showing Sagr or Lu Gazelle, Patricia Deptford showing for Ben Ginter and Rosemary Reed (Ballam) with Victory’s Reina and Day Drifter, Tom Berry showing Trejur, Katherine Newby (Duxbury) showing Juran or Toneel of Arn, Chuck Macintire showing for Arn Arabians, Mercy McKitrick and Bonnie Ronnie showing in costume, Ken Wallis, Gail Dowding, Denis Latimure, Gerald MacDonald, and many others. Also prominent at the time were the local stallions, Jericho, Antez, Jurassic owned by Gary Fraser, and Gai Séance shown by Craig Reed. In Washington, USA, some of the famous stallions were Silver Drift and his son Driftwood owned by Jack Cogger, Abu Farwa, and Gazi.

Within over four hundred newspaper articles with extensive show details was a shocking article from 1971. The AAHABC show at the PNE ended on a tragic note when a fire broke out at the Exhibition racetrack, killing at least thirty horses and injuring many other animals. According to the article at “9:45 pm, while the evening championship classes were in progress, an explosion was heard by some spectators. Sirens wailed through the road between the racetrack and Agrodome, and through the North windows, hundreds of terrified horses could be seen wildly galloping over the track by the light of the burning barns. Arabian exhibitors emptied stalls and loaded horses and tack as quickly as possible so the panicked thoroughbreds could be brought into shelter.” Patrick and his wife Katherine (nee Duxbury) both remember this event as they were showing all weekend at the Agridome. Patrick’s recalls the event as follows:

Although we were young, both Katherine and I remember this tragedy vividly, and in fact, we were so in closely knit with this that my father in law and mother in law George and Grace Duxbury lost a thoroughbred in that fire (which was set by a disgruntled stall cleaner). We were just ending the evening session when chaos ensued. The panic looks on the poor horses, and those who worked with them daily is something we will never forget. They tried to get the horses out by letting them loose, and the horses ran back into the burning barn. The men from the horse show basically dropped everything and organized a cavalcade of horses and put them safely into the empty box stalls connected to the Agri dome. The sounds of crackling fire, billowing smoke, and terrified horses is something not easily dismissed.

The newspaper reported that the Arabian community was credited as being the major players in rescuing the animals. Many owners, racetrack officials, trainers, and veterinarians worked long into the night to calm, exercise, and care for the animals. In a time of crisis, the Arabian community has proved through its history the strength and care that its members have for one another. Even in our current state of affairs, we remain supportive of each other.

Although there is a lot more research to be done with many events still undocumented and numerous stories yet to tell, it has been a pleasure searching through old files. On a personal note I feel almost as if I know some of these people and the horses they loved. I have to credit the Chilliwack Progress for the extensive work and effort they put in over the years to record and publish club information and show details. It is inspiring to read about the appreciation and care the community had for the Arabian horse world and the Association. I hope that even though we remain separated physically, our love and appreciation for these magnificent creatures will continue for another seventy years.

Happy Anniversary AAHABC!

Rosemary Ballam wins three events at the Abbotsford Fair Horse Show; purebred and half-Arabian

1972 -

The 1972 BC All Arabian Horse Show at the PNE ended in a tragic note when a fire raced through two barns at the Exhibition race track, killing at least 30 horses and injuring unaccounted other animals.

According to June 7, 1972, Chilliwack Progress at “9:45 pm, while the evening championship classes were in progress, an explosion was heard by some spectators. Sirens wailed through the road between the racetrack and Agrodome, and through the North windows, hundreds of terrified horses could be seen wildly galloping over the track by the light of the burning barns.

Arabian exhibitors emptied stalls and loaded horses and tack as quickly as possible so the panicked thoroughbreds could be brought into shelter. Many Arabian owners worked far into the night with racetrack officials, trainers, and veterinarians, attempting to calm, exercise, and care for the stricken animals.”

More than two hundred horses attended the eighth annual Arabian encampment in Vernon, a record for the show. Horses from all parts of British Columbia, Washington, and Oregon came to participate.

The undisputed star of the 1972 Canadian National All Arabian Horse Show at the Edmonton Gardens was Patrick Newby on his eleven-year-old chestnut mare Lu Gazelle. She won every high point award for which she was eligible at the show. In the 18 classes, she was entered, she earned eight first place ribbons and trophies, six seconds, one third, and two fourths. For the first time in the history of Canada’s largest Arabian horse show, a single horse and rider won high point trophy for stallion, mare or gelding, gaining the most points in halter and performance in the show. Her participation in the show was a last-minute post-entry as she originally came along to act as a companion to Bill Ballam’s Anglo-Arab, Victory’s Reina.

1973 -

Chestnut gelding, Sagr of Luk-aKuk Farm in Sardis, is the first purebred Arabian horse in the district to earn the legion of merit award. Ron Whittaker, President of the Arabian Horse Association of BC, presented the award at the BC All-Arabian Horse Show. Dr. and Mrs. W.G. Newby received the announcement by a letter from Ralph Goodall, the executive vice-president of the International Arabian Horse Association.

Sagr received his plaque and the traditional bright horseshoe of flowers in a moving ceremony with his handler Pat Newby. 420 of the 85,000 horses in Canada and the US were up for the award, which was established by the International Arabian Horse Association to distinguish those horses who have achieved an outstanding record in the show ring in both halter and performance. So far, Sagr is the only legion of merit champion to have won so many points at his advanced age of seventeen. In 1972 he was the BC champion high point English pleasure horse and BC high point gelding at halter.

In Arabic, Sag means “The Little One.”

1974 -

Mrs. I. Brian wrote a letter to the editor of the Chilliwack Progress complaining that there was too “much publicity being given to the handful of people who show Arabian horses and half Arabians.” She claimed in her letter that “most people are more interested in reading about a horse that jumps, works cows, in a show, or goes in a trail horse class, or does something besides stand in a halter for a judge to look at.” The progress did not respond to her letter, but they did include an editor’s note that stated they were never reluctant to print horse show results regardless of breed. They also said that “some people are far more willing to co-operate by providing accurate and interesting accounts of major shows which they attend.” They ended by including that “if it isn’t available, we can’t print it!”

1975 -

John Stewart’s mare Mrang foals a bay colt by Khemosabi, who was a top show horse standing in California. This was the only colt sired

by Khemosabi in Canada.

Over 90 horses were competing in the national champion gelding class. The gelding was flown by plane from Seattle, Washington to Louisville, and was shown by Ron Paletek of Vantage Point, Washington. He is stabled at Reed Training Stables in Chilliwack.

1979 -

Day Drifter places first in his halter class of Anglo-Arabian geldings at the Cloverdale International Horse Show. He is owned by Rosemary Reed and was shown by Brenda Driediger. He also placed first in Anglo-Arabian English pleasure. At the same show, Azrak’s Superstar, owned by Tom York and shown by Brenda Driediger, came first in halter of purebred Arabian geldings and was champion purebred gelding of the show.

Rufaiya Mara, owned by Lisa Corrigan and shown by Brenda Driediger, came first in half-Arabian mares at halter and was champion half-Arabian mare of the show.

1981 -

Day Drifter, ridden by Rosemary Reed and owned by Verlie Ballam, placed as reserve national champion in half-Arabian western pleasure at the US National Arabian Horse Show in Albuquerque, New Mexico.
