Photographic Contest!

The Hungarian equestrian magazine Lovas Nemzet had first announced its international photo competition 22 years ago. In this year it is being organized again 11th time with the title: HORSES…HORSES…HORSES….

Central theme of the photo competition is the horse. Photos sent in should highlight the connection between man and horse, and the strong bond between horse and nature. Participation is possible with photographs taken on every equestrian contest, horse-show, horseback tour or other situations connected to horses and/or their riders.

The competition is open in following categories: • Professional: photographs in digital format may be sent in by any private person over the age of 16 holding a professional photographer’s license or a membership with the Hungarian Photographers’ Association or earning their living by photography. Furthermore, photographers wishing to measure their pictures with ‘professional’ ones can participate in this category. • Amateur: photograph in digital format may be sent in by any private person over the age of 16 taking photographs as a hobby and not in order to earn money, holding neither a photographer’s license nor a membership with the Hungarian Photographers’ Association. • Junior: photograph in digital format may be sent in by any private person under the age of 16. • Audience Award: Dogs and horses (Vote for your favourites on the homepage of our publisher www.lovasnemzet.hu frrom 1–15 August).

*Deyr Joins His Grandson, Jadaan

The 1904 desert bred stallion *Deyr, part of the Davenport importation of 1906, has seen the world. He was purchased in the Syrian city of Deyr ez-Zor on the Euphrates River. His journey touched Italy and New York on his way to Massachusetts, where he served at stud at Peter Bradley’s Hingham Stock Farm. It is possible he touched a Bradley facility in the south before being sold to Chauncey Clarke’s new breeding operation in southern California. Clarke sold *Deyr to W.K. Kellogg as part of the first group of Arabians at the Kellogg Ranch. When he died, his skeleton was preserved, and it was eventually part of the Arabian Horse Owners Foundation museum in Maryland. When the museum moved to Arizona, *Deyr instead went to Craver Farms in Illinois. In its later days, he traveled to the Los Angeles County Museum, and now, finally, his weary bones are joining those of his grandson Jadaan (*Abbeian x Amran — *Deyr x *Wadduda) at the University of California Vet School at Davis.
