The Great State Fair When August comes around, I always think of state fairs, because this is the time most of them occur. Not all, I know; some of the southern states wait until later, and some states choose July. But check a calendar, and I’ll bet you can find a state fair in your region about now. This time of year in Minnesota, we gather for the ‘Great Get-Together,’ which is what we call the Minnesota State Fair. Over a 12-day period, 1.7 million people (as of 2013) go to enjoy the same things that go on at all states fairs: the agricultural activities, the animals, the midway, various competitions and concerts, and the food that you might never consider eating in the other 11 months of the year. The Minnesota State Fair is where my family’s love for horses was born, long before my time. My great grandfather showed Percherons, and in the early 1900s, he would take them to the state fairs of the Midwest. That love is still there today for my family. We attend the state fair every year, walk through the barns, and even show our Percherons. Unfortunately, the Minnesota State Fair does not offer Arabian classes—so, maybe we should be making more of a push for them? Just think of these statistics: the fairs generally acknowledged to be the “top 10” in this country (Arizona, California, Iowa, Kentucky, Minnesota, New York, Ohio, Oregon, Texas and Wisconsin) are expected to welcome more than 10.7 million people this year. I should add, the “top 10” designation is not just about attendance, so if we were talking only people who walk through the gate, the figure might be higher. Any way you look at it, that is an enormous amount of exposure. A few of these fairs probably feature Arabian horse competition and perhaps a few of our organizations have exhibits there, but shouldn’t we be giving greater consideration to seeing more Arabian horses there? I’d love to hear your thoughts!

GIACOMO CAPACCI ARABIANS:
by ANNE STRATTON
2 | GI ACOMO CA PACCI
THE DREAM THAT BECAME REALITY ... AND MUCH MORE Does Giacomo Capacci ever take a vacation? Not often. The last one in recorded history was
in 2001. The fact is, he lives and breathes Arabians horses—and it shows. Since he opened his own operation in 2008, Capacci has enjoyed an unprecedented level of success; every year, he
has led horses to gold championships at the All Nations Cup and World Championships, and
to trophies throughout Europe and the Middle East. In 2013 alone, he showed three horses to
Gold World Championships: in Senior Stallions (Fadi Al Shaqab), Junior Colts (the unanimous
EKS Alihandro) and Yearling Fillies (Minwa). In addition, he led Bronze World Champions AJA Aphrodite (Senior Mares) and Sultan Al Shaqab ( Junior Colts).
What is perhaps more impressive is that at the same time he was making his name on the global
stage, he was creating a top class, full service Arabian horse facility in the foothills of Tuscany that
is home to 250 horses. At age 32, with six years at the helm of his own business, he knows that was no small achievement, but he is too aware of the future to waste time patting himself on the back. Foremost in his mind is continuing—taking further—the respectful service to clients and their horses that has made it all possible.
GI ACOMO CA PACCI | 3
Giacomo Capacci is a native Tuscan, born to a family which included a grandfather who raised Spanish
Arabian horses. As a boy spending time at his grandfather’s farm, he learned horsemanship and developed his own passion for Arabians. “It was the whole package of the Arabian horse that excited me from the
beginning,” he says, “the type, the balance, the character, and at the same time, the power and charisma.” Still, he didn’t initially envision a career in horses. He passed every summer working on breeding farms,
but he graduated from the Italian Technical Institute with a degree in chemistry. And then it dawned on him: if he was going to spend his life doing something, it should be something he loved, and that meant horses. He was working for a farm when he attended the Salon du Cheval in 2000 and met Michael
Byatt. Byatt offered him a job, he remembers, and from there, over the coming years, his career would go international. He would become increasingly familiar with the cosmopolitan expertise that is integral to that level of the Arabian show ring today.
“In the beginning [I worked for Michael] off and on, but finally I got my visa and I was there for several years,” Capacci says, and adds candidly, “He helped me a lot. From my time working with him, I learned how to train professionally. He gave me the potential to establish my company, and I’m grateful for
everything he’s done for me.” Especially during the last two years of their association, Capacci conditioned
2 | GI ACOMO CA PACCI A R A BI A NS
several national champions, so that he absorbed what it felt like to work highly qualified horses at the top of their game.
In 2006, he added to the education by relocating to the Middle East for several months to prepare horses
for Byatt and begin to show them. By the time he returned to Italy, he had earned a few European clients, enough to open his own fledgling operation. He trained their horses, showed them, and began to creep
up the ladder of success under his own banner. Regional championships and titles at well known shows attracted attention, and requests for his services began to flow in.
GI ACOMO CA PACCI A R A BI A NS | 3
“I had leased a small farm with only 10 stalls,” he recalls, “but every day, horses were coming.” Clearly, a
move was in order, so he rented a 100-stall facility, with paddocks, an indoor arena and a breeding center, from a client in the Bologna area. Then, he says dryly, the business got really busy, and it wasn’t just
showing horses; it was breeding horses as well. “It was good. I was able to build a lot of relationships with clients I’ve had for years. That is where I started, and how I developed my business.”
And how that business developed! Even his earliest stallion roster reflected big names, including one of
the best-known operations in the Middle East, Al Shaqab. There were other patrons as well, broodmare owners and show horse enthusiasts, who joined the operation in an explosion of support.
“We take care of everything,” he says of the service he offers. “We like to promote horses that we think are the best of the best, and our clients like that. We have been very successful in developing people’s breeding programs with those stallions, and we have sold breedings all over the world. That has brought in other clients with very high quality horses.”
After nearly three years, Capacci was ready to own his own farm. He returned to Tuscany, and settled on a 22-hectare tract of land near the historic city of Cortona, about an hour and a half ’s drive southeast of
4 | GI ACOMO CA PACCI A R A BI A NS
Florence. When he purchased it, it was largely undeveloped for his purposes, offering only a
small house; everything—nearly 200 stalls, two covered arenas, two covered round pens, two
covered hot-walkers, and a breeding center—was built to his specifications. It is now home to
250 horses, including a host of broodmares and
foals, the show string and a large group of some of the top stallions in the world, with pedigrees
representing many of the most successful crosses in the breed. Included also is a strong collection of straight Egyptian blood, a resource both to
Egyptian breeders and to other horsemen seeking those characteristics to improve their programs.
“We farm at 360 degrees,” he says of the operation which employs approximately 20 people. “We
breed the mares, do embryos, ship semen, foal out about 50 babies, and transfer about 60 embryos
every year. We have a marketing program, we have our show program and show team—we promote everything about the Arabian horse.”
What makes it tick? It’s not just the horses, he
says, but the people too—all the people involved
in Giacomo Capacci Arabians. That began, years
ago, with his own family. They weren’t too pleased, he acknowledges, when he first announced that he intended to choose horses over chemistry. “I think it’s normal for any family,” he says. “But once they understood that it was really my passion, what I
wanted to do (I was putting 200 percent of myself into it), and that there were people around me
who wanted me to do it because they thought I had talent, they supported me in it. I have been very fortunate with my family.”
GI ACOMO CA PACCI A R A BI A NS | 5
There are also those who, as he says, make it
possible for him to do what he does much of
the year, which is travel extensively for showing
and promotion. The scope of Giacomo Capacci Arabians has been such that no one person
could do everything everyday. Capacci’s breeding manager, Pietro Chinnici, has been on board for
nearly six years, and is as much a personal friend as an employee. They met when the trainer was
in Sicily for a horse show. “He is really a fantastic person with a good heart, and he said he wanted to work with me,” Capacci remembers. “At that
time I was small and developing my business, so I didn’t really need much help, but once I did, I called him.”
Chinnici shares Capacci’s passion for horses.
“We have the record we do in large part because of his contribution, and because of others who
have been with me for a long time—my stable
managers, Anfuso Daniele and Guiseppe Vetró,
and trainer Uri Shaked, who is full time here, but also freelances for some of our clients. When you are traveling and dealing with so much, and you have to take care of so many important horses
and important clients, you need to have a really good and professional team that takes care of
everything at home. I love having such a good and motivated team around every day.
“Our success in Europe is actually because we put everything we know in our horses,” he continues. “We try to go further and better than everybody else. Everything we do, we try to do with great
professionalism and in the services of our clients.
It’s very important to have a good team, and I love having such a team around every day.”
6 | GI ACOMO CA PACCI A R A BI A NS
One member of the team is more than just an employee or even a friend. Capacci got to know Michelle
Bergsma in 2001; they met on that last real vacation. Dutch by birth, she was living in Spain at the time,
and they remained in contact. “We met again by fortunate chance five or six years later,” he says, “and since then, we have been together.”
Bergsma gave up her career to join him at the farm, and now runs the office at Giacomo Capacci Arabians, taking care of all the paperwork and business that is critical in a large-scale horse operation. “She has been very supportive,” he says, “a big part of my career and my success.”
And finally, there are the clients—the owners of his stallions, of the broodmares and foals which fill the fields, and the show string which keeps his name up in lights.
“A lot of our clients have been with us for a long time,” he says. “We always try to guide the clients the
right way, in breeding, buying horses from us, showing, selecting the stallions and broodmares. We have tried always to give them the best opinion and the most professional advice. For many, we have helped develop a breeding program for them.”
He is proud that for many clients, he has searched out young prospects, developed them, showed them
to show ring triumphs that have made their names in the industry, and then directed them into breeding careers with potential. That, he smiles, is another aspect of “full service.” Many of those horses have become world leaders.
GI ACOMO CA PACCI A R A BI A NS | 7
In any conversation with Capacci about his business, three things become clear:
One, he is serious about being at the top of his profession—and his record reveals that he has established himself
there. The challenge is to remain at the industry’s pinnacle, and he not only meets that challenge, he thrives on it. Two, he values the long term support of his staff and his clients, and he believes that the way to attract and hold customers—to nurture business relationships—is to do the best he can for them. Those principles hold true
when he discusses his goals and what he wants to achieve in the future. “I would like to continue to satisfy my clients for a long time,” he reflects. “That will help me have the same results I am having now.”
8 | GI ACOMO CA PACCI A R A BI A NS
And three, in terms of his own reputation, he is unwavering. “I would like for people to see me and my company as fair and honest, and as committed and professional as we can be. That’s why we are who we are. We create something
from our passion which is now so much more than what I
thought it would ever be, and we did that with our principles and our devotion to what we are doing.” ■

COVER STORY
Baahir El Marwan by JEFF WALLACE
The dappled statuesque form of superstar Baahir El Marwan dominated the show ring in Scottsdale 2014. The 2008 stallion represents the rare blend of quintessential Arabian beauty and functional conformation that the breed so desperately needs. Proudly owned by Al Saqran Stud of Kuwait/Dubai, and handled by David Boggs who is no stranger to the win circle in Scottsdale, it was a championship that resonated with David. “It was the thrill of a lifetime winning Scottsdale this year with Baahir for by great friend Mr. Bassam,” David shares. “Scottsdale is really a dream venue for Baahir, with the big outside arena enabling him to demonstrate his very powerful and fluid trot. I think for many people that hadn’t taken a serious look at Baahir, they did at that moment.” While Baahir El Marwan’s International Tour is just starting to take off, it is his magical blend of beauty, conformation and superior pedigree that will make a lasting mark on the breed. Already, with his jump start at Scottsdale this year, David notes, “He was able to secure bookings to some really elite mares after that event. I think it gave his breeding career the opportunity and the respect it deserves.” What these breeders are seeing is a pedigree that is tailor made to produce some stellar individuals. Not only is Baahir El Marwan by the sire of sires, Marwan Al Shaqab, but hails from a mare family that already has produced world champions. Baahir El Marwan’s dam, HB Bessolea, has been covered with Marwan Al Shaqab seven times, using the incredibly successful formula of the Marwan Al Shaqab/Besson Carol cross that has produced such notable individuals as Fadi Al Shaqab (Besson Carol x Abha Myra, by Marwan Al Shaqab), the World Gold Champion Stallion in Paris.
54 | A R A BI A N HOR SE T I MES
HB Bessolea’s production with Marwan Al Shaqab has been nothing short of astonishing. From this first mating she produced the 2011 World Champion Baanderos, bred by Susan Taylor of Taylor Arabians and now owned by Al Khalediah of the Kindgdom of Saudi Arabia. Her second foal was Bint Bessolea, also owned by Al Kalediah, who won unanimous Champion Mare recently at the prestigious International Show at Ströhen, Germany. HB Bessolea has also produced Baandora and Bessolina El Marwan, both currently being campaigned by Michael Byatt. Bessolina El Marwan is the recent 2014 Region 11 Champion Mare. With such a triumphant breeding family, it is no wonder that astute breeders are flocking to Baahir El Marwan. While his career as a sire is just in its infancy, Baahir El Marwan has produced some glorious foals, particularly from Magnum Psyche-sired mares. The championproducing mare Palitrah, by the Magnum son Justify, and out of broodmare supreme, Bint Bey Shah, has recently foaled an amazing colt. The legendary Bint Bey Shah herself, is in foal to Baahir for 2015. There is also an outstanding filly born out of another Magnum Psyche daughter whose dam is a full sister to the great breeding stallion Justafire DGL. “It is all brand new and thrilling to see which mares and sire lines seem to be working best,” explains David.
"The horse of my dreams; a stallion of almost perfect conformation and balance. He is the reflection of an Eagle—powerful, graceful and majestic, with the heritage of noble ancestry."
~ Bassam Al Saqran
Al Saqran Stud is gathering a splendid harem to support their stallion, breeding him to their 2014 Scottsdale Champion mare Luxemere Jizette (KM Bugatti x TA Jihana Bey, by Genesis C), and U.S. National Champion and Las Vegas World Cup Supreme Gold Champion Filly Donna Molta Bella SRA (DA Valentino x RD Fabreanna, by Falcon BHF). The first filly born by Baahir El Marwan in Dubai is outstanding. The next stop for this superstar stallion is Tulsa with David Boggs on the lead. “We are excitedly looking forward U.S. Nationals,” explains David,” and Baahir competing in senior stallions.” Beyond U.S. Nationals, future plans are that Baahir El Marwan will enjoy a European show career, as breeders there are also excited about the beauty, conformation and movement that he will bring to their breeding programs. ■

Leaders Of The Times: August Calendar Feature
Da Vinci FM (Versace x Full Moon Astar), with Jim and Salley Bedeker.
by Kara Larson Born a year shy of the latest millennium, Da Vinci FM spent 14 years of his extraordinary life wowing in the show ring, building up a beautiful breeding stock, and impressing all with his chivalrous temperament. And now, as a 15-year-old, Da Vinci spends his days enjoying a pasture life he has certainly earned. Behind Da Vinci is a crew well versed in the Arabian breeding, marketing, and show world. Owned by Jim and Sally Bedeker of Gemini Acres Equine, and managed 62 | A R A BI A N HOR SE T I MES
by Chris Barter, their excitement in the next chapter of Da Vinci’s life is as strong as ever. “His mornings start out in the pastures for a couple hours in the Arizona sun. He’s done showing and we only breed selectively to him, so he actually gets to be a horse,” Barter shares. “I love taking him out to the pasture every morning. He’s earned this freedom, and more than that, he is simply the nicest stallion. No bad habits—just a gentleman. In the breeding barn, anyone can collect him. He’s just a dream to be around.”
A son of Versace and Full Moon Astar, Da Vinci’s pedigree is one that elicits beauty, type, size, and a prestige unique to this exceptional line. Drawing from this prominent base, the Arabian horse community has watched Da Vinci become a producer of exotic champions worldwide. Sire of U.S. National Champion Futurity Colt MPA Giovanni, 2011 U.S. National Reserve Champion Yearling Arabian Filly Goddess Of Da Vinci, and 2012 U.S. National Champion 3-Year-Old Colt Rohara Crown Prince, Da Vinci has been the source of some prominent horses in the modern halter show ring. Beyond his progeny garnering big titles over the years, they also carry on Da Vinci’s unique chivalry, wellmannered personality, and presence. “His foals are the same way—great personality, very happy, and so good to work with,” Barter shares. “They like to show off and light up and flag their tail—just as Da Vinci did. He also passed along good size, type, a beautiful face, and big eyes.” Now into a second generation of Da Vinci, Chris Barter revels in the anticipation of this big moment—a time that allows a new addition to Gemini Acres, JJ Bellagio, a chance in the spotlight. “Now that Da Vinci is pretty much retired breeding-wise, we’re crossing all his daughters back over to Bellagio.” Barter happily adds, “And they’ve just been absolutely gorgeous. Great type, size, ears, eyes—that cross has been magnificent.” So, as Gemini Acres looks to expand what Da Vinci has built for them—a distinct and stunning brand of
Left: JJ Bellagio Above: Goddess Of Da Vinci
Arabian horse—a promising future resides in JJ Bellagio. Exemplifying a pedigree that combines the beauty and strength of international champion Magnum Psyche and the exotic allure of national champion Joyeuse NY, JJ Bellagio opens up the future of the Gemini Acres breeding program. Barter adds that this stallion is not only proving to cross extremely well with Da Vinci daughters, but is also having success with Marwan Al Shaqab, as well as Spanish, Egyptian, and domestic bloodlines. Additionally, as in the U.S. and like the Da Vinci babies, Bellagio has great international appeal; already selling his get to thriving Arabian communities in the Middle East, South America, Europe. In the show ring, his first foal crops are garnering big wins. Most recently, at the 2014 Canadian Nationals, yearling filly Veneta CS, bred by Gemini Acres, was awarded the Reserve National Championship in Arabian Yearling Fillies. As impressive wins and beautiful babies amount,, Gemini Acres Equine aims to continue the legacy built by the great Da Vinci FM right into the future of JJ Bellagio. Jim and Sally Bedeker, with Barter at the helm, delight in the opportunity to make this a reality. n Volume 45, No. 3 | 63
THE 2014
NCWW Celebration Show NOT JUST SURVIVING, BUT THRIVING! by CHRISTY EGAN The North Central Working Western (NCWW) Celebration Show held its second annual show from July 17-19, at the Minnesota State Fairgrounds, and like the first one, it was a bona fide success. With its inaugural debut in 2013, it set a new precedent for working western horses by combining multiple events for Arabians, HalfArabians and Quarter Horses into one, wall-to-wall, action-packed horse show. This year brought back the same good foundation, thoughtfulness and planning; some great
64 | A R A BI A N HOR SE T I MES
classes were added, and hosted twice the number of entries paying out a whopping $41,000 in prize money. When the show made the move to the popular Minnesota State Fairgrounds facility this year, everyone involved breathed a collective sigh of relief. Of course, the Minneapolis/St. Paul area is a wonderful place for a horse show; there’s comfort in the access, and it’s easy to get to that city. There are lots of great amenities, hotels,
Hesa Zee+/
ALL-BREED REINING CHALLENGE RESULTS restaurants and things to do, but more importantly, the Coliseum at the State Fairgrounds offers a premiere venue: clean, attractive and horse-friendly functional. There was laughter when one of the management said they were “… very proud of the dirt in the Coliseum.” But honestly, just ask any good reining horse trainer or cow horse man how important the right footing is for their VIP equine partners—dirt is a big deal. The Hesa Zee+/ All-Breed Reining Challenge, sponsored by Eleanor’s Arabians in Rogers, Minn., hosted 130 reiners and 44 entries this year. Of those 44 entries, half were Arabian or Half-Arabian. The winner of the All-Breed Open was Gunner’s Sweet Chex with Jeff Kasten up for Big Rock Equestrian Center, LLC. Second was Peptomatic, with Jamie Peters riding for James Peters. The pair actually tied for first with a 146.5. Jamie then won the toss for the Franco silver show bit and Dale Chavez headstall that came as a dividend with the winning ride. Third with a 144, was Brian Welman and Dun With Style RA (Brennas Golden Dunit x Minding Ps and Qs, by Hesa Zee), a five-year-old, Half-Arabian gelding bred and owned by Dick Ames of Cedar Ridge Arabians. Dun With Style RA also won the HalfArabian Open Reining and the Half-Arabian Reining Jr. Horse. His dam, Minding Ps and Qs, the winner of the Scottsdale Arabian Reining Futurity in her day, is also the dam of the second place winner in the Half-Arabian Reining Open and Reining Jr. Horse, Dunminding Ps and Qs. Eleanor Hamilton, owner of Eleanor’s Arabians and home of Hesa Zee, provided beautiful and quickly coveted prizes for Hesa Zee’s winners, in addition to the bits and bridles previously mentioned. For the champions, there were Benny Guitron designed trophy buckles and other shiny treats. Reserve champions received a headstall and trophy buckle. There was a total of $7,000 in added money for this NRHA sanctioned event, so money earned goes on the NRHA permanent record for the successful horses. Any horse of any breed or bloodline was able to enter the Reining Challenge, but those sired by Hesa Zee were eligible for bonus money as well.

Laura also stepped into the saddle and won the Purebred Reining ATR. ArABiAn reining Jr HOrse - EAF HESA WIZARD with Kenneth Eppers riding for owner Timothy Williams. EAF HESA WIZARD also won the Hesa Zee Arabian Open. If there had been a fourth place in the overall open, “Wizard” was in that position. A four-year-old purebred Arabian, Wizard was bred by Eleanor Hamilton and is a classic example of her bloodlines: Hesa Zee plus a Crown Musc daughter with a good dose of pure Polish Arabian breeding on the tail-female line. HAlf-ArABiAn reining Open - TR HOLLYWOOD ROSE is also owned by Tim Williams and was ridden by Cindy Hildebrand. This team also won the H/A Reining ATR. TR HOLLYWOOD ROSE is a 13-year-old Wolf Springs Ranch-bred mare. Sired by Hollywood Dun It, the Arabian half of her pedigree is top Polish breeding. HAlf-ArABiAn reining Jr. HOrse - BUILT BY PEPPY, bred and owned by Eleanor Hamilton, and trained and shown by Lance Scheffel, is a son of Little Sorrel Peppy out of Fae Zee Princess (Xenophonn x Speed Princess). This 4-year-old apparently has a real future dealing with cows. Volume 45, No. 3 | 65
Winners of the Hesa Zee bonus money were all particularly pleased with their winning moments. EAF Hesa Wizard and Zee Zee Stop took home an added $2,500 each; Zee Fire Storm and Hesa My Daddy each pocketed an added $1,500, and Heza Crown Prince and Hezas Sweet Dreams won an additional $1,000 for their efforts.

On the cow horse side of the pen, the big news at the NCWW show was the NRCHA sanctioned Derby’s $6,000 in added prize money. There were 21 entries, making this the upper Midwest’s largest cow horse show. Exhibitors hauled in from all over to compete, with their license plates visually verifying the distances they had traveled, from Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa, South Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas, Colorado and Oklahoma. The show had originally planned to have Bob Kail (Ariz.) and Gay Lynn Owens (Iowa) adjudicate, but when an NRHA class has more than $1,000 added money, it recommends a two-judge system. So the show brought in Lita Hottel (Minn.) to help. Because there were quite a few more cow horse entries than originally anticipated, Lita went from being an asset to a God-send, allowing Bob to focus on the cow horses and Lita to assist with the NRHA reining. The North Central Reining Association funds their fall futurity with a stallion auction and they included Arabian stallions this year. A portion of the proceeds was given as added money in a 4-year-old reining class for Arabians and Half-Arabians at the show. The show also created a National Reined Cow Horse Associationsanctioned Futurity and Derby, structured like a regular NRHA event. New classes added to the show for 2014 included Ranch Horse Pleasure and Performance Horse Halter, Purebred and Half-Arabian.

In closing, during the show, the office signed up seven Arabian or Half-Arabian registered horses for their NRHA competition licenses, took in three new memberships to the AHA and saw two Half-Arabians transfer ownership, at least one of them going to a horseman that had never owned a horse with Arabian breeding. This is why we need these shows.
A delighted Eleanor Hamilton is talking about seriously expanding her involvement in the Hesa Zee+/ All-Breed Reining Challenge. She will definitely be expanding the bonus money next year to include ALL Arabian and HalfArabian horses bred by Eleanor’s Arabians.

Region 9 Championships by Kara Larson
Southern Hospitality At Its Finest
On the cusp of Texas summer, Will Rogers Memorial Center in Fort Worth, Tex., features one of the larger regional shows in the Arabian show industry. The Region 9 Championship Show enjoys a diverse and competitive depth and additionally, Region 9 Director Margo Shallcross was very pleased this year with how fluidly the show ran under the management of Steve Buddin and his staff. Margo shares, “The office was handled by Melanni Hershberger from Scottsdale, Ariz., whose calm manner is an asset to any show office. Our dressage and sport horse divisions were handled by Deborah Cinotto; she brings years of knowledge in smoothly running these disciplines. Edythe Snowden does a super job as our Barn Manager and, finally, Steve is backed up by his lovely wife Jean, who also handled our vendors. From gate to show office, our staff did a remarkable job.” With nearly 500 horses showing at the Region 9 Championships this year, the show is able to boast big numbers, but even more importantly, Shallcross maintains that the pride of Region 9 exists in the facility, the talent of the exhibitors, and the high energy of the show. “What sets this show apart from others is the depth in competition our horsemen and horsewomen have to offer in Region 9. We are gifted with many outstanding trainers, amateurs, and junior riders in our region. If you can place in Region 9, you have a great chance to also do well at the various national shows AHA offers.” When Region 9’s staff comes together, working tirelessly to bring the show to a new level, all the while aspiring to be a catalyst for innovation, Shallcross is bound to receive a great deal of praise and compliments on its behalf. “At the end of the show, I was at the out-gate, and many large and small barns came by to thank everyone for a great show,” Shallcross says. “They were truly happy with the running of the championships and the judges we had this year. Dede Bisch, Scott Brumfield, and Joseph Polo were in the main ring, Leon Mathias judged working western, and Gail Hoff-Carmona, dressage and sport horse classes. Our main ring panel has to keep the show moving as we have a very full schedule and they did just that.” Thinking ahead to next year, Shallcross looks forward to making the show even bigger and more successful. “Next year, we are going to do a different trophy for our open classes and hold a big welcome party for our exhibitors. We hope to attract new exhibitors by offering two dual qualifying shows in Region 12 (Florida and Alabama), and a dual qualifier in Louisiana with Region 12 and in Texas with Region 13. The Reichert Celebration in September will also be one of the dual qualifying shows in our region.” She adds, “You will not find a better place to show and Will Rogers Memorial Center is always improving its show grounds.” As Shallcross extends an invitation for all to attend the 2015 Region 9 Championships, she offers, “For people who come and are looking to do something outside the show arena, we sit in an ideal location with several world-class museums, the zoo, and botanical garden adjacent to the show grounds. We are also fortunate to have lovely hotels and restaurants in the vicinity along with three air-conditioned arenas, and excellent stalling that connects through tunnels to all the arenas. The outside temperature may be hot, but our arenas are very cool. If you have not shown or visited our Region 9 Championship show, I encourage you to put it on your calendar for May 27-30, 2015. We offer southern hospitality at its finest!” Volume 45, No. 3 |

Loubna, 2004 All Nations Cup Champion Mare.
AachenGets It Right by JEFF WALLACE with LISSA WEINSTEIN In 2004, Chen Kedar of Ariela Arabians, Israel, wasn’t planning on showing the prized straight Egyptian mare Loubna (Imperial Imdal x Imperial Kalatifa), as the show was beginning on the first day of the sacred holiday of Yom Kippur. However, the co-owner of Loubna at the time was Jackie Ware of the UK and it was decided that she would be entered under Jackie’s name only, representing the colors of the UK flag, flags being a very important part of the total Aachen experience.
represented that fine day at the All Nations Cup, making it one of the most special days of our lives.” This September, while other countries are mired in conflict, Arabian horse lovers from every corner of the world will again travel to the scenic little spa town of Aachen, Germany, to celebrate their love for the Arabian horse, and compete at the All Nations Cup, a two-day show where a few hundred horses of the highest quality from everywhere in the world will compete.
When Loubna was announced Champion Mare of the show, the British National Anthem was expected to be heard by all, yet it was out of the show’s deep passion and respect for breeders of exquisite bloodstock, that it was quickly decided that the Israeli National Anthem in honor of Ariela Arabians would play instead. Recalls Chen, “On that day, all was forgotten and Germans, Israelis, Poles, Belgians and all other nationalities united, standing together paying homage to our Loubna and all she
All great things start with a simple idea, and Mrs. Annette Hedley in England had just that. She envisioned an event open to all nations with stud books accepted by WAHO, and held in a different country each year, creating worldwide interest. A scoring system was implemented unlike any previously used to insure quality, not quantity from each nation, a decisive factor in winning the All Nations Cup ultimate prize, the Lady Harmsworth Blunt Memorial Trophy, given to the nation whose owners had
122 | A R A BI A N HOR SE T I MES
the most prize winners. Aachen also awards championship ribbons in halter divisions, as well as a special All Nations Cup Breeder’s Trophy, given to the nation that breeds the most prize winners. Rightly so, the esteem that breeders feel for the Aachen show is worldwide. The first All Nations Cup show was held in England in 1980, and the following years in Spain, Sweden, and returning again to England with great success, before the newly founded Nations Cup Committee entrusted the reins to the German Arabian Society in 1984. In 1985, Aachen hosted its first All Nations Cup with eleven nations competing. Holland was the ultimate winner with Poland and Germany closely behind. In 1987, a decision was made for Aachen to permanently host the All Nations Cup and the rest is history. In 2014 competitors from some 25 nations will vie for the coveted prizes. Considered by many to certainly be one of the very best shows in all of Europe, the Aachen Committee shows they know a little something about entertainment. While other shows may struggle to get attendance numbers up, the people that put Aachen together have created a high quality, enjoyable show that people travel to year after year, and that has strong support from the local community. Simply put, the people at Aachen get it right.
just a riding arena, but the stands are packed. They always play the special Aachen song before every class; it’s a kind of marching song and it creates so much energy and excitement when the horses come trotting in to the music. And there’s never really a bad horse that shows in the ring. Every horse competing here is the best of the best.” Om El Arab has bred numerous Aachen champions, including El Masra (Shaker El Masri x Estasha), the first Junior Female winner, and Bint El Shaklan (El Shaklan x Estawa). Merz also recalls when WH Justice (Magnum Psyche x Vona Sher-Renea) came into the ring. “He was the quintessential Aachen horse. He was so beautiful; he owned the ring. He was ethereal … big … macho. Everyone in the stands was cheering for him. People were crying.” People also speak with great pride when winning at Aachen. Jean and Alen Mattens, a former president of the BAHS (Belgian Arabian Horse Society) and current members, have been showing at Aachen since the show
So what makes Aachen so special? Though only two days long, Aachen seems to have just the right mix of great competition and entertainment. When one refers to Aachen, they usually comment on the intimate atmosphere, the great catered food, the easy walk to local inns, and a relaxed show schedule which both starts and finishes at reasonable hours so friends can get together for breakfast in the morning, and dinner in the evening. Of course, adding to the list would be legendary moments such as Michalow Stud’s Emigrantka’s (*Eukaliptus x Emigracja) startling and stunning entrance that completely brought the house down, along with the dazzle of an older Kubinec (Balaton x Kosmetika), and so on. As Janina Merz of Om El Arab relates, “There is an energy at Aachen that is just unbeatable. Aachen is small—it’s

began. “Paris has the big name, but at Aachen, the quality is super, super, super—the best quality you can find anywhere in Europe!” The Mattens won Champion Mare in 1993 at Aachen with the exquisitely Janow-bred mare Aldara (Probat x Arra). “Aldara was an especially feminine mare. She looked like a real doll. Polish with very big eyes, but fiery; she showed big. At the time she was competing at Aachen against all the other great Polish horses from the Polish State Studs, and I just thought, ‘Is it possible she will win?’ And she did—she actually won.” Michael Byatt, of Michael Byatt Arabians, shares, “Two special memories come to mind when I think of Aachen. One, being the stallion Medalj (*Menes x Sadza). When I showed him for Hans and Cecilia Boughardt, few
124 | A R A BI A N HOR SE T I MES
stallions that I had ever led exhibited such authority and ownership of the arena as Medalj did on that day. In those days, the crowd supported whatever horse they liked, it was not as partisan as today. If they liked a horse, they were very vocal. And the noise was deafening. Madalj bowed up, snorted, blew, looked up into the stands and snorted even louder. He won champion and helped Sweden win the Nations Cup. The second, as one would expect, was Marwan Al Shaqab (Gazal Al Shaqab x Little Liza Fame). My connection and love for that horse is, and was unequaled. With him it was never so much about winning, although that was very important, as it was having him being bestowed the honor and respect he had earned. Being champion at Aachen was the continuation of his legacy.”
The show has also inspired the way Americans think about creating a successful horse show in the States, and it was at an Aachen show that American breeders first conceptualized creating something similar in Las Vegas. Bob Boggs, one of the founding members of the Arabian Breeder’s World Cup in Las Vegas, says, “Vegas has everything to do with Aachen.” He remembers when Carol Steppe, Jeff Sloan, Scott Bailey and he came together to bring this style of judging to the States. They wondered whether the Americans were up for it. “Aachen is a very uplifting show. It’s a breeder’s show. The competition at Aachen is just very tough. You get to see horses from all over the world. It’s also very social and that’s a big part of its success. There are also hotels close enough to walk to and it’s an easy distance to go out at night to eat and be social. In these ways, Vegas is similar to Aachen.” Yet over the course of 34 years, the show has grown and changed in important ways. Breeders such as James Swaenepoel of past Aachen winners FM Gloriaa (WH Justice x Psity of Angels) and SA Misha Apal (A.S. Natsir-Apal x Nyara JC), and founder of the Arabian Futurity Europe Organization, discusses the latest trend in judging at Aachen—away from movement with increased focus on type. “We feel that the judges are less critical on the technical movements. Horses are prettier every year!” This same sentiment is voiced by Merz and Mattens.
Merz again, “The emphasis in the past was on animation, it made for more excitement and the horses more like an athlete. People in the stands were up on their feet cheering. With that changing a little, the horse has become less an athlete. Now the focus is leaning more and more toward the hard stand, like in America, and less on the trot.” Mattens, however, cautions, “The stallions are becoming a little too feminine in the head at Aachen. It’s very important that a mare should be a mare, and a stallion should be a stallion.” Bob Boggs, whose stallion Psytadel (Padrons Psyche x Bint Bey Shah) was sold to Swatam Arabians and has subsequently had a major impact on the European show ring as a sire, says, “Aachen has changed over the years. Some say it’s more corporate, others, that European handlers have admired and taken up the stand-up style of showing halter horses, so the trot has gone away … but the show has progressed in almost every way.” The Aachen focus is creating an event that is irresistible to the public and touches the attendee’s heart and soul making them think: “I want an Arabian horse!” and they certainly seem to have succeeded. So you see, Aachen and the All Nations Cup has not only achieved greatness, but has now become the model show for pure enjoyment all around the globe. Let all flags proudly fly high. n

hard to pick the winner as all deserved a spot at the top in my opinion. Luckily it was up to the judges to pick their winner. They choose AJ Sawari (Marwan al Shaqab x Siberia SA), bred and owned by Ajman Stud, UAE as there winner, scoring a total of 93.10 points and also claiming the best head trophy. In the final yearling championships she claimed the Gold medal almost unanimously. Second in this class with 92.80 points was the showy Sheikha al Shaqab (Kahil al Shaqab x Shalimar Prestige) – bred and owned by Al Shaqab Stud, Qatar. At the third position we would find Bdour al Nasser (Marwan al Nasser x Aliah el Nasser) – bred and onwed by al Nasser Stud from Qatar, scoring a 91.30 points. Fourth in the class with 90.90 points was the beautiful Pitonisa AS (Ever After NA x Psyches Amber Dream) – bred by the Markley family and owned by Arabian Soul Partners from the USA. This filly had previously won the Las Vegas Supreme Gold champion title as well as winning the gold in Scottsdale.

Can We Trust What We See? by ANNE STRATTON In the June issue of Arabian Horse Times, photographer Stuart Vesty voiced his thoughts on the issue of manipulating pictures of Arabian horses (changing images with the use of a photo editing computer program). In the past, it was not uncommon for photographers, usually at the behest of owners or trainers, to airbrush their work. Usually that was to flip a reluctant ear forward, open a closed eye, paint out a distracting object in the background or something of that nature. It was not necessarily something to be proud of, but in practice, the alterations were easy to spot and therefore harmless. Since the advent of digital photography, however, changes have become hard to detect, in some cases impossible without special software. And now, the alterations often are more serious than just reversing an ear; eyes have been enhanced, toplines straightened, tail carriages elevated and throatlatches slimmed. Vesty inquired how, as an industry, Arabian horse enthusiasts felt about the practice. The implication was that if a viewer purchased a horse or a breeding on the basis of what was seen in a manipulated photo, then the practice could constitute false advertising. Since that type of manipulation relates to equine conformation and beauty, it applies largely to halter
Is the real issue, then, not so much “Do people manipulate performance photos?” as it is “Does that kind of manipulation make the photographs false advertising?”
horses. The next logical question, then, is whether or not photographs of performance horses are altered too, and what impact that might have. Arabian Horse Times posed that question, and here is what we heard.
166 | A R A BI A N HOR SE T I MES
The most common practice mentioned regarding manipulation of performance photos relates to when trainers use chains or “stretchies” on horses’ legs during a photo session, and then ask photographers to erase the equipment. (For the uninitiated, the types of equipment mentioned are chain links looped around a horse’s fetlock which flop lightly, creating an unusual sensation for the horse which one observer likens to “roller skating and then walking after you take your skates off,” and stretchies, which are lengths of surgical tubing that link one foreleg to another. In the case of stretchies, overuse or improper use can create a mechanical, labored appearance.) “It’s not the same as altering conformation,” Stuart Vesty observes. “Chains don’t make a horse do anything he doesn’t have the physical ability to do. If he can’t do it, he won’t.” Even so, he adds, he asks trainers to remove them for photo sessions. “At this point, I don’t want to get into a big controversial thing.” Chains and stretchies, also called rubber bands or shackles, are most often seen on English horses, so for more information about the purpose they serve, we went to trainer Bob Battaglia, for decades one of the top trainers in the discipline. “Chains and rubber bands are only going to help a horse find his balance and help him break his shoulders loose so that he can use himself as he is conformed to do,” Battaglia explains. “Unlike the common thought, you’re not going to change or enhance a horse’s motion by using rubber bands or chains. It just strengthens their muscles and helps with balance and cadence. It will help a young horse get stronger behind and learn to transfer his weight to the rear end.” Is the real issue, then, not so much “Do people manipulate performance photos?” as it is “Does that kind of manipulation make the photographs false advertising?” Or in other words, is it anything a value could be put on, such as might occur if a horse is sold on the basis of an image that does not really exist? From what we heard, it is a grey area in theory, but pretty black-and-white in practice. “I think mainly the difference
is that by definition, performance is seeing a horse move in one fashion or another to meet certain desires of a particular style—western, English, hunt, etc.,” says Bob North, who with his wife Dixie has owned some of the top stallions and show horses in the halter industry. “Halter is a little different because it is fundamentally based on the conformation of the horse. Photos, if they are done properly, can show conformation of the horse, but it is hard for a photo to show performance movement. I know you can get an English horse or a park horse with big high action, but I can’t imagine anybody making a buying decision based on one photo in performance. Maybe that would get them to go look at the horse or ask for video of it, but beyond that?” “I don’t think people breed to performance horses off of a photograph as much as they would off of a video or seeing that horse in real life,” Vesty nods. “Because it’s not about what one leg does; it’s about their carriage, their will, their trainability, if their neck hinges right. If all that stuff works, then that’s where a horse sells or sells breedings. “A picture will help generate interest,” he acknowledges, “but I’ve seen a lot of horses go around and have one leg in the right spot, while the other is just trying to find the ground. That’s not acceptable, so I don’t think a picture of one leg in the air does anything for selling horses or breedings. You need to see a video or ride the horse yourself. “And there are some horses out there who look really cool, but when you throw a leg over them, just aren’t any good, or else they don’t fit you at all,” he notes. “That is some of it if you’re an amateur rider looking for a horse. It has to be a good match.” Longtime photographer Scott Trees takes it even further. “In the performance side of things, I don’t think physical alterations are commonplace,” he says. “They are the exception rather than the rule. Part of the reason is that it is a lot harder to change the shape of a shoulder to elevate a leg, or to change the shape of the muscles of the chest. To do to so that it doesn’t look like you did it isn’t easy. It’s a lot of work to change the angle of the leg relative to the rest of the body. “In today’s digital world, if you use a level adjustment to retouch the background, technically you’ve retouched the photograph,” he points out. “When I refer to ‘retouching,’ I mean when you digitally alter conformation or movement in one form or another. What you are doing, for example, if you thin a horse’s neck or level a croup line, is that you are creating an ideal image that does not exist. To me, that’s false advertising, just as I don’t think you should have a horse breaking above level that can’t trot above level.
“That’s the issue we’re running into in all aspects of photography, and not just horses. It’s so easy to make things look like they aren’t.” —Scott Trees
“Technically, I retouch every photograph I take,” he adds. “I crop, I burn, I dodge, I lighten, I do all kinds of things in my pictures, but I don’t change the subject. I don’t alter the conformation of the horse. Even in my artistic shots, the horse is a part of the image. I pride myself on being able to get the shot at the angle I want of the horse to make it look good without having to fake it.” So what does he think of removing chains from a horse’s pastern? “If you are removing a chain and filling in the area that would look like the ankle, but you aren’t thinning the ankle or thickening it or hiding a swollen pastern or something like that—you are just refilling it the way its conformation is supposed to be—then to me, that’s acceptable. To get them to lift their feet higher, is it any worse than blowing off a fire extinguisher behind them to surprise them when they hit a big trot? If you have the timing to get the shot, they really did move that big. If the image is correct (the horse was actually trotting that high), then that is one thing. What is not okay would be painting a leg higher or removing a fault of some sort. “But there is a fine line to what a photographer is willing to do or not do,” he concludes. “That’s the issue we’re running into in all aspects of photography, and not just horses. It’s so easy to make things look like they aren’t.” The next step, of course, is video. Photographs, everyone agrees, are useful to elicit a viewer’s interest in a performance horse, but typically, the potential buyer then asks to see a video. Videos are significantly more difficult to alter—beyond the abilities and budget of the average seller. There, the impression of the horse is created more by skillful editing, which is readily apparent to the buyer. But even then, the buyer’s next step is usually to see the horse in person. There, if photographs have been altered, the wheels fall off the bicycle, just as they do for anyone who is considering buying a halter horse off a doctored photograph and who goes to see the horse in person. As Battaglia says, “Anybody who goes to look at the horse is going to see the reality.” n Volume 45, No. 3 | 167

It’s Time For The Celebration—
! e l l i v s i u o L n I u o Y e e S by ANNE STRATTON
It’s hard to believe that the Arabian Horse Celebration Event, held in Louisville, Ky., September 17-20, is already 3 years old, or will be as of next month. The show, an innovative mix of activities reminiscent of the old Arabian Horse Fair, has gained a following for its upscale accommodations, hard-fought competition, educational clinics—and for pouring half of its entry fees into its prize money. This year, says show management, the finances are even more alluring: stall and skybox fees have been lowered and there will be additional prize funding in some of the classes. In its second year, the Celebration attracted more than 275 horses and 15,000 visitors to Freedom Hall at the Kentucky Fair and Exhibition Center, and this edition appears on track to build on its reputation.

“We’re looking at the show continuing with the quality and the participation we’ve had so far,” says Bob Battaglia, President of the Arabian Horse Celebration. Does he see any key elements in how the Event has taken off as it has? “I think it’s well-received because of the people that are working on it—when they say they’re going to do something, they get it done. And we’ve had the support of the local community.”
“It’s like everybody wants to see this show succeed.” —Bob Battaglia But it’s more than that, he adds. “Everybody that is interested in making this show a success has stepped up, to the point that we have people who are class sponsors, who send us support money, even though they don’t come to the horse show. It’s like everybody wants to see this show succeed.” One of the Celebration’s strengths is that each year, it adds a new component for its constituents. In 2014, there are several. One is the Incentive Bonus Money Program, a creative new pay-out plan for 15 classes (eight grand championship events and seven amateur halter titles). These classes already offer prize money through fifth place, and that remains unchanged; what is new is that entries are invited to sign up and contribute to the new Incentive program, and 100 percent of those extra funds will be distributed as bonuses to program participants who score first through fifth. If a placing is occupied by an entry who did not enroll, then the reward passes to the next person down who did.
Then, for the younger set, a new scholarship has been established. This year will introduce the SF Aftershoc $2,500 Saddle Seat Equitation Scholarship, available in the 14-18 championship. And that’s just the beginning. “In 2015, it will be sponsored by the USEF and will be known as the USEF Saddle Seat Medal,” says Battaglia. “We’re delighted—that’s quite an honor.” New in 2014 as well is a battery of straight Egyptian classes, held in partnership with the Pyramid Society. “The Pyramid Society is one of the most respected organizations in the industry,” Battaglia notes. “We’re trying to promote the Arabian horse, and Egyptian owners and breeders have been an important part of the industry since it began. We’re very proud to invite them to be a part of our show.” And then there is the reduction in fees. “The expenses are extremely high for the building we use in Kentucky,” he explains. “But due to the number of horses we have, we were able to reduce the fees because we didn’t have to make as much money to pay the rent. “I have never in 40 or 50 years of showing horses seen any horse show reduce fees!” he grins, “and as we continue to grow, we will try to reduce stall fees and skyboxes even more. The reason we can’t reduce entry fees is that half of those fees goes into prize money.”

Equine Hospital’s Dr. Bonnie Barr and Stuart Muir. Also on the schedule again will be the Youth Workshops, designed to inspire a whole new generation of horse lovers. There, children of all ages can engage in a variety of activities from Breyer® horse painting to equine presentations. Another dimension of the Celebration is its sale program, which began two years ago. “We offer a package that includes special showings on Thursday and Saturday in Freedom Hall after the afternoon classes,” Battaglia says. “Those presentations will be viewed not only by those present at the show, but also over live-feed by iEquine for people at home who might be looking for horses. I’m very happy to report that because of the live-feed seen around the world, several sale horses have been sold and the Stallion Row breeders have told us that they’ve sold breedings as well.”
Just as management has tried to offer more each year for its participants, it also has been careful to preserve favorite services from year to year, so that many features of the popular show will be on the agenda again this year. Stallion Row remains the home not only to some of the industry’s leading sires, but also to several of the Event’s social gatherings. The stallions will be on display there each day, as well as in special presentations in Freedom Hall before the evening sessions on Friday and Saturday nights. The Celebration’s acclaimed demonstrations and clinics will offer continuing education to skilled horsemen and informative introductions for novices. The demonstrations are scheduled for Friday afternoon at 1:00 p.m. in Freedom Hall, while the clinics will be held in the Commercial Exhibit Hall during the lunch break on Saturday. As usual, the speaker list is a who’s who of authorities in the industry, including Dr. Samantha Brooks of the University of Florida; trainers Tommy Garland, Joel Kiesner, Gene LaCroix and Caralyn Schroter; and Rood and Riddle

And once again, the conveniently-located Shopping Expo will offer everything from apparel for horse and human to luxury purchases from jewelry to artwork. Much to everyone’s delight, the Arabian Horse Celebration Event again will benefit one of Louisville’s most beloved charities, the Home of the Innocents, which cares for neglected, abused and medically fragile children. Last year, many of the children came to the show—and for the ones who couldn’t, an Arabian (and its humans) visited the Home. There wasn’t a dry eye, and the kids loved it.
The Celebration invites participation on all levels, from exhibitors, breeders, spectators, commercial vendors and volunteers, to the general public and those who simply love horses and want to know more about Arabians. “We just want to welcome even more people, more participation,” says Battaglia. “Part of this show is the camaraderie and how much fun we have. This year, instead of our kick-off party, which not everyone could attend, we are including a Saturday Night Appreciation Party. It will be open to everyone (exhibitors, vendors, attendees, anyone) at the show, and there will be food, a band and a cash bar. We’re planning it for after the last class on Saturday night.” He smiles. “The show is called the Celebration, and at the Appreciation Party, we’ll be celebrating everyone who is making it a success.” n

The Dromborg AN ARCHITECTURAL TOUR DE FORCE.
WE SAY IT THAT WAY BECAUSE THERE IS ONLY ONE. Located in the verdant heart of the Ozark Mountains, this home is a unique legacy property. Built to stand for centuries with four thousand tons of rock hewn and fitted, stone by stone, as master masons have done since the second century, BC. Beautifully nested in northwest Arkansas, the Dromborg is a hundred acres worth of forested mountainside privacy; all within minutes of a major university and three Fortune 500 corporate campuses. Inside: solid oak, solid cherry, solid walnut; carved, sculpted, and molded into 13,000 square feet of museum quality construction, built by one of the world’s great lumber barons for his own personal country estate.
The Dromborg is a dream made manifest. The realization of a lifetime of hard work with a vision. In ancient Nordic, it translates as, “Dreams the size of mountains.” Completed in 2008 with a 300-degree panoramic view of the Ozarks, the Dromborg’s design aesthetic is inspired by Scottish castles of the 13th century. Classical motifs were also incorporated, as was often the case with historical European designs. The larger statement speaks to contemporary, yet timeless values: vision, hard work, and audacious dreams. Flying in? Have your pilot file a flight plan to KFYV. The Dromborg is located less than a country mile from the 6,100 foot runway at Fayetteville’s Drake Field. Just listed and offered at $15,000,000. www.Dromborg.com

Scottsdale Riding Club Out Of The Box Beginnings by KARA LARSON
On the topics of getting new people involved, having fun with the Arabian horse, and building a community of enthusiastic, aspiring equestrians, Alicia Ward has some revolutionary ideas. Her Scottsdale Riding Club is unique, effective, and stems from her hopes to offer a lesson program that really works. The creation of the club started small, but has now turned into a full-time business as she teaches lessons full-time, which in turn creates a lot of new clients for people all over the country.
Her Own Beginnings
“I have a really unique approach to it. I believe in my program and the Arabian horse. I want to offer a safe, quality venue that not only teaches people to ride, but introduces newcomers to the Arabian horse.” Ward’s love for the Arabian horse traces back to simply being drawn to horses at a very young age. This prompted her to attend the prestigious Stephen’s College in Colombia, Mo. Their Equestrian Science department was headed by Cecile Hetzel-Dunn and the Saddleseat program was headed by Ellen Beard. The program and these women certainly led Ward to her current life path. “Ellen encouraged me to teach and influenced my style, while Cecile helped me explore possibilities in the Arabian breed. Since it was a predominately Saddlebred program, I was able to look at the Arabian industry from a different perspective. I was able to spend a couple of summers at Delovely Farm where I
206 | A R A BI A N HOR SE T I MES
learned the “Saddlebred way” of developing riders. When I graduated, many of my classmates were going off to be instructors at different Saddlebred barns.” From this realization, Ward conceptualized an idea. “It occurred to me at that time that there really weren’t instructors in the Arabian business. Basically, you’re either a trainer or you’re in the breeding business. Today there is still strong need for instructors in the Arabian horse industry. The more effort we put into educating people and introducing them to our breed, the better. It’s more than just giving back to the Arabian horse. Many people—veterinarians, farriers, breeders, tack shop owners, magazine publishers and writers, social media marketers, show secretaries, announcers, judges, trainers, grooms, the list goes on—all depend on our industry to make a living. Without new people, our industry will die. I think that is what’s really important to realize.” As for the beginnings of the Scottsdale Riding Club, Ward began the program in the Fall of 2008 giving less than 10 lessons a week. Growing quickly, by December of 2008, the total per week was up to 20 lessons. Within a year, Ward was doing over 40 lessons a week. Today, Scottsdale Riding Club is located at Battaglia Farms and is operated in association with Cari Thompson Training. This association allows SRC students who purchase horses an “in house” training program and support system to continue to help them achieve their equestrian goals. On the education side of her program, SRC students are taught solid basics of horsemanship and riding. Ward maintains that each rider is methodically taught to effectively control both the horse and their own body while getting them used to hearing the terminology. Ward shares, “We go over all the parts of the equipment, simple terms like the reins, stirrups, and bit. They learn the differences in a horse’s gait. For instance, that the trot is a two-beat gait and the legs work as a diagonal pair, hence the term “diagonal.” It’s so important to explain the terminology in a way that people can relate to. I always use “left and right” because these terms are always absolute. Many people struggle with the terms “inside and outside” because they leave too much room for interpretation. Sometimes it’s as simple as changing the way you say things so people who don’t have the vernacular can understand. Keep things simple so people can feel good as they progress. Don’t try to teach them everything in one lesson. Keep them coming back for more! “Things that sometimes seem really obvious to those of us who have been around horses our whole life are not so obvious to others. Horse sense can be the hardest thing to teach.” She continues, “But it’s so important that people become savvy and achieve some horse sense—that they are aware of the nuances; knowing that each horse is going to be a little different. I have several different horses that I use for lessons, which I think is really important too. None of my lesson horses are perfect, but they are all very
special animals. Each one of them offers something unique. The different horses allow the students an opportunity to experience different equine personalities. A horse that’s a little headstrong or that needs to be pushed around might be more challenging for a rider who is more of an introvert. Then there is the outgoing rider with the strong personality that’s challenged by the horse that’s sensitive and wants to be coaxed into things or is more particular. I think these are things that people need to learn. It’s how horses teach us “life lessons.” Lessons about taking charge, persistence and consistency—and then the next day there might be lessons about trust, compassion, patience and understanding.”

by 30 minutes in the saddle, and then the last 15 minutes are spent taking care of the horse afterwards. The time before and after the actual ride is most important because that’s the time when I’m able to interact with the client on a personal level. We can talk about the horse and its tendencies, color, and markings. While grooming the horse we can talk about why it is important to do so. Each rider learns how to correctly pick the horses feet. They also learn about different pieces of tack and how to saddle and bridle each horse they ride. I also like to use this time to get to learn more about each rider as a person. We can discuss their goals and dreams. We talk about what is going on in their lives and how the horses can help fit in to that. It is during this time that I am able to begin to customize the lesson experience for each individual client.”
A Lesson In Commitment
“My lesson program is definitely unique because I focus strictly on developing the rider.” From Ward’s perspective, a lesson program should be just that—built upon lessons. “I think that many people who try to have lesson programs don’t do them justice. It’s really important to be committed to your schedule, because people like to have structure. If a lesson program has an instructor or trainer that has to go to a show every other weekend or tries to give lessons in between schooling horses or managing a barn, it’s not going to make for a good program. People thrive on consistency. They like to have a “standing” appointment with you week in and week out. They want you to be respectful of their time. That is key in building a successful program.” Individual lessons with Ward also adhere to this theme of consistency. As lessons are scheduled by the hour, each time slot is divided up in intervals of 15/30/15. Ward explains, “For a brand new person, the first 15 minutes of the lesson would be spent learning how to tack up the horse, followed
208 | A R A BI A N HOR SE T I MES
More than education and growing as individual horsemen, Ward focuses further on something more intangible— community. “At Scottsdale Riding Club, it’s not just about coming and getting your lesson and leaving. It’s about creating a space where people want to come and don’t want to leave. It should be a whole experience. I believe in making introductions and encouraging people to interact with each other. They might compare notes about a certain lesson horse or skill they are working on. You want them to be engaged and ask questions ... then take the time and patience to answer those questions. She adds, “And it can turn into something really fun. On Wednesday evenings, I have a group of adult women who meet for what we call “Ride and Wine.” We start with a fun group lesson and finish the evening with some wine, nosh,
and lots of horse talk! Along the same theme of community, I feel that most people want the same sense of connection with the horses. They want to stay and give the horse a bath after their lesson. They like to feed a special treat. People love to interact with the horses and to feel a unique bond. In many of the traditional training barns, it’s typical for the owners to never even touch the horse. I think we lose sight of the fact that that’s where so much of the pleasure and gratification and the pride of ownership is derived from. We must continue to create situations which cultivate connection and interaction.”
The Arabian Appeal
“People think Arabian horses are so unattainable; the mystique of the breed can be a double edged sword. It’s really important too, for people to know that the sweet, gentle, beautiful horse that they take their very first ride on is an Arabian horse.” For Ward, any misconceptions her riders may have had about the Arabian are disregarded and they realize that this is a versatile breed. “They can be English horses, western horses, pleasure horses, trail horses—they can be anything. There are many disciplines of riding and the Arabian horse can be suitable to most any style. One thing that the Arabian horse does better than any other breed is to become your friend. The Arabian horse as a companion and partner is unmatched in the equine world.” Another attribute of the Arabian horse as a lesson horse has to do with its dexterity. Ward shares, “I have one lesson horse that’s an old reiner, but I don’t teach reining lessons on him. He’s just a really good, broke horse, and there’s no reason to discourage a posting trot on him. Oftentimes we will put a western saddle on a retired country or hunter horse and teach concepts of collection. I teach a balanced seat which allows riders to choose a discipline to focus on as their riding progresses. This flexibility is unique and helpful to all ages of people. I have a really good balance of ages in the program. I could spend all day during the week teaching adults and then my weekends, I have a lot of kids. Sometimes the kids get the parents interested in riding or maybe a grandmother who has been taking lessons brings the grandkids out. We encourage everyone. I am most proud of one of my more mature riders who continues to take lessons after having both hips replaced.” Volume 45, No. 3 | 209
A Step Further: Workshops And Equifit “We look at these horses and we treat them like athletes, but we don’t always look at ourselves that way.” Encouraging more involvement and horse knowledge, Ward offers SRC educational workshops a few times a year. “In one of previous workshops titled, ”Groundwork,” we focused on personal space. We worked on leading the horses, picking up feet, developing eye contact, and body language.The participants were also able to learn how to lunge a horse properly. The goal is always to get people more comfortable with being able to communicate with and read the horses. That’s a difficult thing for people to learn—how to read a horse. When their ears perk up, what does that mean? When they swish their tail or stomp their feet, what does that mean? These are basic aspects of horsemanship, but ultimately, very essential.” Beyond the horse-centric workshops, Ward has a project that incorporates wellness and fitness into the equestrian realm. “Equifit is a supplement to my regular riding program. Equifit is a fitness program designed for riders. Fitness is a passion for me, and with the help of a personal trainer who is also a dear friend, Michael Stomatuk, we created Equifit. It is our goal to provide an exercise regime that molds stronger, better-balanced riders. We have regular Equifit workshops at the ranch. Sometimes I will have Michael come to the ranch to see someone ride. This way I can problem solve with him on why they are struggling with a certain skill or position. We can create corrective exercises specific to each individual’s needs. Many of my riders spend time in the gym with Michael to complement their riding lessons.” The backbone of Equifit comes from the way Ward approaches her lessons based on her yoga background and passion for fitness. Her appreciation for the connectedness of mind, body, and spirit is only enhanced when a horse is added to the mix. “It’s really important that we recognize that horses are beneficial for the well-being of people, mentally and emotionally. It is also
210 | A R A BI A N HOR SE T I MES
important to be aware of our own physical fitness and how that reflects on our horses and our ability to ride successfully. We look at these horses and we treat them like athletes. We worry about whether they’re going to get fat on eating too much alfalfa or if they’re going to get hyper because we feed them too much grain. We scrutinize their conditioning. We carefully plan both their peak performances and their downtime. We don’t always look at ourselves that way; we need to bridle our own health. I consider how nutrition, supplements, and overall wellness affect our success as riders or horsemen. If we are easily irritated or lack focus, this reflects in our riding. If we lack flexibility, are weak, or overweight, it influences our ability to ride.” In Ward’s Equifit workshops, she aims to address the concepts of balance, flexibility, and mobility. With her teacher training and certification in yoga, Ward utilizes her fitness background to get creative in improving her rider’s abilities. In terms of what her yoga background affords in her teaching, she offers, “If everybody’s posture was perfect and their alignment of their body was perfect, it would be really easy for them to ride. But we’re not all like that, so I think if you can understand the connection between riding and yoga, you will learn body awareness, and the subtleties of alignment. For example, if someone’s left side is forward, then the horse will drop his body into that empty space.” Because horses are incredibly perceptive animals, the subtleties of maintaining composure are aspects not easily learned. “If you’re nervous, they pick up on it. It is all about learning how to control your breath and position when you’re stressed and not taking things personally. A lot of yoga is about letting go. Sometimes we get into a situation
with a horse where we struggle. We take the blame and tend to take it personally. Yoga teaches us to be in the present moment. We learn to let go of whatever is not serving us and move forward to the next thing. I always say ‘Forward is your Friend.’ The phrase is helpful in both life and in riding. Just go forward, keep going forward. Let go of whatever just happened. Learn to feel. Find the core thing you’re trying to achieve and then feel the subtleties that become it.”
Into The Future “If you just keep the door open and always let people know that it’s accessible for them, I think that people will surprise you.” As Ward continues to expand and introduce more people to her riding program, she reflects on her first experience with the Arabian horse. “My first introduction to Arabians came from my mom’s college roommate, who was Leon Matthias’ neighbor. I was just a horse crazy little girl and we went to a barbeque at her house, walked next door to Leon’s, and they put me on a horse. They didn’t need to take time out of their day to do that, but they did.” She adds, “So, I think that’s another thing that we need to always remember— to take the time to engage with people when they’re curious about horses. If somebody’s grandkid or somebody’s friend of a friend has an interest, take your time to talk to them about your experiences with Arabian horses. Invite them to visit the horses at the farm or attend an Arabian horse show.” And in her program today, Ward reverts back to this first act of kindness. “I always give the first lesson free. When new people call for lessons, I tell them to come up and see what we’re about. Most of the time, they are hooked and schedule regular lessons. Some of them do not come back, but they might come back a couple years down the road or maybe they’ll go to somebody else’s farm when they’re in a better situation economically. If you keep the door open and always let people know that Arabian horses are accessible to them, I think that people will surprise you. Love for the Arabian horse is contagious. Whenever I sell a horse to someone in the lesson program, almost immediately I have several
more students inquiring about buying a horse. In the last six months, SRC clients have purchased seven Arabian horses. All but one of those purchases were first time horse owners and the other one now owns two Arabian horses!” In closing, she offers, “Give people a positive experience. Conduct yourself with integrity. Create a community. Encourage a healthy lifestyle. Cultivate curiosity and let the beautiful Arabian horse do the rest!” n Volume 45, No. 3 | 211

MAHB F AArabian l l F e s t i vA l P r ev i ew — Minnesota Horse Breeders
Fall Festival
Innovation, Competition And Big Payouts
by KARA LARSON
St. Paul, Minn. is more than one half of the famed Twin Cities. It is also home to the Minnesota Arabian Horse Breeders (MAHB) Fall Festival at the end of September. Before the Minnesota leaves begin to turn their beautiful scarlet and chestnut hues, the MAHB All-Amateur Purebred Arabian horse show promises, Innovation, Competition, and Big Payouts.
An Arabian Futurity Built For The Breeder
12 • MN Breeders | A R A BI A N HOR SE T I MES
As their loyal participants and attendees come back for another year, MAHB President Greg Brown is taking notice of what makes Fall Fest a unique horse show. “First of all, I think it’s our experience. The fact that we have been around for so long—this is our 33rd year—shows we know what works and what doesn’t work.” He adds, “We have found it important over those years to be innovative in terms of what motivates folks in the Arabian business to come to shows and then respond accordingly. We think that we have provided the direction for a number of different futurities in the country, and hopefully, we will continue to recognize and seize opportunities that will make ours better and continue to be the leader, not the follower.” In terms of what Brown is most looking forward to at the show this year, he delves into a brand new aspect in 2014 that exemplifies the innovation that exists with the MAHB Fall Festival. “Our membership passed a resolution this year to incorporate a Performance Maturity program into our existing Halter Futurity program. If you buy a breeding at the stallion auction on Saturday night, that foal will be eligible to show back as a yearling in the Halter classes, of course, but also, we are funding a Performance Maturity along with the Halter for the same horses.” This performance side of the futurity program allows the purchased foal to come back as a four-year-old under saddle to show western, saddle seat, or hunt for prize

money that will be exclusively for auction horses. “So it’s a two for one offering that nobody else is doing right now,” Brown says, “and I think it gives the opportunity for stallions that have been traditionally termed performance as opposed to halter, or vice versa, to break down some of those barriers. It gives their foals the opportunity to compete twice and compete for some nice money. As a four year old, they compete against only their peers, in the Performance disciplines. So it’s a big deal for us and our participants.” Furthermore, Brown emphasizes another important reason for this new addition. “We’ve taken the approach of demonstrating that the Arabian horse can be both pretty and functional. Everybody’s been saying that over the years, but we think that stallions in our program are going to
Volume 45, No. 3 | MN Breeders •
13
produce foals that will prove that. So it’s a big thing. It’s a big thing for the whole Arabian business.” Adding to the one-of-a-kind nature of the show, Brown hits on the fact that only amateurs are in the show ring with their purebred Arabians. And to ensure a fair system of judging in the yearling halter classes, a combined system is used. “When it comes to judging our show fairly, particularly on the halter side, we use a score card to determine who our finalists are going to be and then we do comparative judging in the final. So, it is a hybrid that I don’t think anybody else in the country is doing.” Brown continues, “We are just trying to make sure we get the best horses in the final, so we use a scorecard to get there, and once they are there, the judges have the opportunity to pick the best horse.” Another alteration to the show comes in the switching from maiden performance classes to novice. “With this, people have the opportunity to win up to three times and still compete in our performance classes, so it’s not a one and out sort of thing. We want to give people the opportunity to use their horses more than we have in the past, so even though it’s a subtle change, we think it will bring a significant change in terms of participants.” The final element of the show comes from a donation that occurs every year; however, a new charity will benefit in 2014. More than a self-fulfilling event, MAHB Fall Fest has chosen the Alzheimer’s Association as the benefitting organization, and Brown shares that they are pleased to donate $5,000 this year to this wonderful cause. In terms of investments in the auctions and futurity program, Brown assures that for those who make an investment in the program by nominating their stallion in the Medallion program, they get a return on their investment. There is 10% override back to the stallion owner in the Auction Yearling Halter classes. “Depending

AnywHere in tHe country . —GREG BROWN
on what their actual breeding fees are, there are a number of folks that actually get paid more than what they gave up in donating their breeding to us.” In response to why all should come to the 2014 MAHB Fall Festival, Brown begins with the rewarding allure of prize money and ends with the intrinsic allure of the Arabian horse. “We’re going to pay out over $250,000 in prize money this year. We think that if you come to our show and take a chance on participation, you will have a chance to reap the rewards, whether that’s buying an auction breeding or bringing your performance horse. Whatever the case may be, the opportunity to get a return on participation is great—potentially better at our show than anywhere in the country.” Brown adds, “If people come just to watch, they’re going to see the best horses competing in the breed. They are also going to have the opportunity to buy breedings to the best stallions in the breed, and for both those reasons, we encourage folks to come to our show.” n
