Cover Story:

To say that Manny Vierra of Valley Oak Arabians in Brentwood, California has been involved in a few good horses in his day would be an understatement. Manny has been breeding Arabian horses since 1983. And despite over 150 horses bred, winning Scottsdale and U.S. National championships, his enthusiasm for the breed is as strong as it has been in the last 37 years. As a breeder, Manny is constantly seeking that next step in creating his ideal Arabian horse. His latest is acquiring the stallion Preludio OSB.

It all began last fall while visiting with his trainer Sandro Pinha of Arabians International in Scottsdale, on how to breed his mares for the upcoming spring. “I was telling Sandro I was looking for a bay outcross stallion,” says Manny, remembering that afternoon. “Sandro told me he knew of a young stallion that he showed as a 2-year-old that could be available in Brazil. He showed me some pictures and video. I wasn’t really shopping at the time, but I really liked what I saw. Moreover, Sandro really recommended this horse; he was a huge fan. Dejair Souza, who is very close with Sandro, also handled this horse in Brazil, and I know and respect Dejair—he only handles the best.”

Preludio OSB, by the exciting sire Dominic M and out of the Sir Fames HBV daughter Partyssima OS, was bred by Olivia Strauch in Uruguay. Only five years old, he has already garnered significant accolades to his credit, including Junior Champion Colt at Punta del Este in Uruguay before going to Brazil. At the 2017 Brazilian Nationals, Preludio was named Champion Junior Colt with Sandro and in 2019, earned Brazilian National Champion Young Stallion with Dejair on the lead.

Ar abian Horse Times | 3 | Halter • 2020

After a little back and forth with Preludio’s owner, Sandro was able to secure the deal for Manny, and the bay stallion was on his way to the U.S. Soon after arriving in Miami, he was shipped to Scottsdale, arriving the Sunday night before his inaugural presentation at Arabians International, having only been in the country a few days.

“He arrived at Sandro’s around 2 am Sunday night, and that morning was the first time I laid eyes on him,” says Manny with a grin, “I liked what I saw. I see in Preludio so much balance and type. I think he fills a lot of holes in the industry that we need. His top-line and neck set are incredible. His eye sockets, the shape of his face, the shape of his neck … these are the things that attracted me to him.

In addition, he has a great attitude; he is just a wonderful horse to be around.”

Sandro echoes Manny’s enthusiasm, and since having known the horse most of his life, it carries extra weight. “The sky is the limit for Preludio. He is an incredible horse, and I don’t just look at him as a show horse. He will be a major contributor to breeding in this country. He has so much to offer with the different pedigree, eyes, ears and body—things that we have lost here. This horse is going to make history.” He continues, “I have been talking to a lot of people that bred to Preludio in Brazil, and they are really excited about their first foals. Some believe they already have a superstar.”

Ar abian Horse Times | 4 | Halter • 2020

Fábio Amorsino of Haras Serondella is one of those early Brazilian breeders convinced of Preludio OSB’s promise. “The first time we saw Prelúdio OSB was at the Brazilian Nationals in the Colt Championship. He won and should clearly be considered as a sire going forward. As a judge, I appreciate very much his phenotype and genotype. We need some alternatives to today’s mostly used sire lines, and he can be one those. We were very impressed by his overall balance and quality. Given the fact that we were using his sire Dominic M, we were confident enough to purchase a breeding package to Prelúdio to bring his qualities to our breeding program. We bred our best mares to him and are very excited about the first foals on the ground.”

For many, their first introduction to Preludio OSB was in Scottsdale, and he drew a positive response from some of North America’s most prominent breeders. George Zbyszewski, breeding manager of Frank Hennessey’s Hennessey Arabians in Ocala, Florida, also jumped at the chance for a breeding package. “He has everything we need in modern Arabian breeding to produce a show horse,” explains George. “We have enough long necked and long bodied horses, but he is compact and well-coupled with a strong topline. That is what I like the most phenotypically. He is also leggy and has a beautiful face. Genotypically, I love the fact he has three lines going back to Fame VF. That assures that he will produce typey horses. And overall, his pedigree has everything you want from a show horse, including Ali Jamaal and El Shaklan.

Given this, I feel pretty comfortable breeding him across the board.”

Manny Lawrence of Jade Creek Arabians was also impressed by what he saw in Scottsdale. “I saw Mr. Vierra’s new stallion at a presentation in Scottsdale, and he was beautiful, well structured, exotic, and had a wonderful presence about him. JCA will be having a 2021 foal by Preludio.”

Murray and Shirley Popplewell of Rae-Dawn Arabians based in Scottsdale, USA and Saskatoon, Canada, were especially pleased by the country’s most talked about arrival. “We are elated for Manny Vierra and his Valley Oak Arabians on the importation of *Preludio OSB,” explains Murray. “Shirley and I were also fortunate enough to see *Preludio OSB during the Scottsdale presentation and upon seeing him, we immediately knew that we needed to find a way to incorporate him into our breeding program. Thank you, Manny, for letting us be part of what is sure to be a wonderful infusion. We are looking forward to breeding to *Preludio OSB.” Manny, always the pragmatic businessman, is excited to see what the next few months hold for his stallion.

“Let’s see what we got,” exclaims Manny. “We were originally pointing Preludio towards the Breeders World Cup, but with that cancellation, we will concentrate on fulfilling breeding commitments and then will think about Nationals.” Manny has a contagious enthusiasm when he knows he has a good one. That enthusiasm is on full display when he speaks about one of the most talked about stallions at Scottsdale, and he is looking forward to what comes next for Preludio OSB!

Q&A

Breeding/In-Hand

E HALT R SUZANN VINCE

INIZIARE ARABIANS SCOT TSDALE, ARIZONA

Barn Preference: Active Social Setting Or Individualized It is paramount to have a happy social environment in the barn where I have my horses. I’ve been so lucky to have met amazing, passionate owners who have always been willing to support (cheering, clapping and hugs given freely) my horses as I too support their excitement, even if I put my horses elsewhere for logistical reasons. This is a very competitive path that we take. Friends are important!

Halter Horse Differences, Consistency And Evolution Of The Last 20 Years I’m seeing more extreme heads and necks for the most part. I appreciate that, but if they can’t move out of their own way, that is a deal breaker. With those extreme heads I want a large eye. Breeders are getting there, but there is always room for improvement. I prefer a fiery attitude, but when let down, I want sweet!

Horse Maintenance: Owner Involvement?

I have never given my journey over to a trainer. I have been doing this since 1977 and I started out as an amateur riding English horses and competing when there were NO designated AOTR classes. I remain involved with the care and maintenance of my horses because having an extra pair of eyes is a must. It’s important to demand respect and communication from each other and I try to make happen.

I’m getting my feet wet again after an absence of 14 years of not producing a foal. My Da Vinci daughter H Bella Bellezza H had a beautiful colt in 2019 by Exxalt. I am looking forward to breeding my two foundation mares limitedly so as not to flood the market. We all have to be cognizant about that.

Importance Of Amateur Classes I think amateur classes are important. That’s how I first started with the Arabian breed. I showed a *Bask gelding under the tutorship of Spike Barter of Zodiac Farms. I used to haul, bathe, clip and polish the hoofs of my own horse. I would love to show again.

It ebbs and flows and has since I had my first foal in 1984. While I was absent from this industry from late 2006 until August 2014, a lot of our best American horses were sold to the Middle East, Europe and Brazil. Now those countries are producing their own foals. So, who are we going to sell to?

Embryo Transfers … Helped Or Hurt?

To have them broke to ride and enjoy a different interaction with them based on the trusted friendship. There’s nothing more satisfying than buying a baby at a month old and then when they are three, taking them out on a trail ride. If they have show ring performance ability, then that is the cherry on top.

This will get me frowns and raised eyebrows but I’m NOT a believer in pulling all of these embryos from mares, some of whom are as young as two years of age! If you own a proven mare and they are struggling or getting older, then I don’t have a problem with this, but in a slower market, why oversaturate?

Halter Horse Differences, Consistency And Evolution Of The Last 20 Years I have seen more and more people come into the Arabian horse industry, but I think a lot has to change to be able to keep that going. We should do more open houses and give people the chance to purchase a breeding and lease a mare.

One of the greatest joys of being involved with Arabian horses is being able to share our horses with friends near and far. Whether we are hosting our annual farm open house where hundreds of people gather at our farm to celebrate the beauty and passion for the Arabian horse or welcoming guests to our farm for private showings—simply enjoying our horses with those who share the same love for the Arabian horse as we do is what matters most.

Shirley and I are very fortunate to have Alcides Rodrigues as our resident trainer and that we have assembled an outstanding team that makes up Rae-Dawn Arabians. Having farms located in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan as well as our farm in Scottsdale, Arizona — it truly is a team effort. Shirley and I are very hands on, from foaling mares to showing, and everything in between. We are grateful to our staff for working together and making sure the day-to-day operations of the farm f low seamlessly.

Importance Of Amateur Classes The amateur classes are wonderful and allow Shirley and I to enjoy our horses in the show ring, together. The many futurity programs offered within our industry gives us additional opportunities to show and greater exposure for our horses which is also a tremendous plus.

After The Ring Best Case Scenarios And Careers We are a breeding farm, so our show horses range in age from yearlings to those old enough to need time off to rest, while others are breeding age and are tried in the breeding barn. We breed for a complete horse, so some of the horses go on to start their work under saddle once their halter campaigns have come to a close.

Halter Horse Differences, Consistency And Evolution Of The Last 20 Years There is one certainty in life and that is, it is ever changing. We have seen many fads and trends come and go within our industry, however, what remains and has not changed, is the love of the Arabian horse has not wavered and is shared by all.

Barn Preference: Active Social Setting Or Individualized We enjoy the social aspect of our halter barn. We have such a great team, everyone supports each other! We enjoy many good times together and continue to make memories at the shows and at the barn.

It’s a huge part of why we enjoy breeding and showing halter horses.

Horse Maintenance: Owner Involvement?

Our horses are born at our farm where our home is located as well.

We are completely hands on. When the horses do go on to the training barn, most all decisions are discussed and agreed upon with our trainer and ourselves. However, if there was a circumstance that we couldn’t be reached, we would totally entrust our trainer to make the best decision without us.

Importance Of Amateur Classes We truly enjoy amateur classes. It really gets the owners involved in the show. The industry needs as much involvement it can get. I think the amateur classes provide some nice money awards as well, which is even more enticement to show and get involved.

After The Ring Best Case Scenarios And Careers Ideally, we love to see them compete in the performance arena, or they become part of our breeding program if they are a mare; it just depends on the individual horse.

Arabian halter horse type within the last 20 years has for us, become almost a thing of art when it comes to their exquisite heads perfectly sculpted with long, thin swan necks. We would like to maintain an equally beautiful conformation, top line and hip without foregoing quality.

Biggest Breeding Challenge We would love to breed many more horses than we have the past few years, but the competition is tough in the show ring; the best of the best are competing. Then you need to have buyers and that is another challenge.

We have seen prices lower maybe more in the last 10 years. People looking to buy horses are looking for the best quality overall that is going to win in the show ring, so maybe the number of buyers has decreased to some degree.

Embryo Transfers … Helped Or Hurt?

We do embryo transfers in our breeding program. I do not believe it has hurt our breed. It allows you to have a foal from a mare that can’t carry her own for whatever reason. Or possibly a mare you want to continue to show and still have foals from. It is a great tool if it fits your needs.

After The Ring Best Case Scenarios And Careers I would love to see my horses in the performance ring after their halter careers. That’s what sets Arabians above all other breeds, their versatility! So, it’s a great feeling as an owner and breeder to see a beautiful, successful halter horse you bred and raised move on to the performance ring.

Halter Horse Differences, Consistency And Evolution Of The Last 20 Years When I first got involved, it was all about the “wow” factor, but now it’s all about movement, and we now have some better moving horses than we’ve ever seen! We now need to focus on getting prettier.

Embryo Transfers … Helped Or Hurt?

Embryo transfers have helped tremendously! We are evolving the breed faster—everyone is breeding really amazing horses quickly because of it. Instead of one baby, you can breed six of the same cross if you wanted, resulting in tougher competition which is healthy for the industry!

My breeding program has utilized the technology of embryo transfer for years—it has worked well for GRK.

Importance Of Amateur Classes On a scale of 1-10, the importance is a 12. The amateur and amateur/owner involvement is key to growth in our industry.

Halter Horse Differences, Consistency And Evolution Of The Last 20 Years There are many things, but one area that is a must for our perception of worldwide markets and importance, is bringing back the importance of the class “A” shows. Shrink the regionals and make it more difficult to reach our United States Nationals to bring back huge value to all three levels of competition, and reintroduce a True Triple Crown that is as it was before, the most desired achievement in our breed.

Halter Sales Over Last Five Years It is like any market, you have your ups and downs. There comes a time in every market that there is a “Seller” need and “Buyer” demand.

I cannot complain about our particular successes and that of our clients, for it has been spectacular, but we have always pivoted to every occasion.

I do see that the majority are constantly looking for that “Big Sale!”, and those horses don’t need us agents, marketers and trainers to sell them, they sell themselves. What we need to focus on is that midrange game and emphasize the importance of breeding and breeding quality. Some of the greatest horses I have ever had the privilege of marketing have been the result of a $25-$50,000 broodmare sale.

Think long term, not just now.

So, I have not seen a huge swing in either direction. Just those complaining about numbers being down which is not the case.

Quality is scarce because breeding numbers are down and there are simple solutions to bringing those numbers back up, but that is a completely different topic for another question to be asked!

Embryo Transfers … Helped Or Hurt?

I think the embryo transfers have been very helpful for breeders. A recipient can carry the foal which allows the donor mare to go through conditioning and go to shows. I do believe, however, that it is healthy for the donor mare to carry and deliver a foal at some point.

The bar of excellence for the Arabian halter horse continues to rise. With the availability of transported frozen semen and embryo transfer, breeders are able to utilize bloodlines that would otherwise be unavailable to them.

Embryo Transfers … Helped Or Hurt?

I am a proponent of embryo transfer. The opportunity for a breeder to receive additional foals from their older or retired mares, and also the younger show mares, offers a better opportunity at a good return on their investment.
