CAHR 50th Anniversary Issue Errata & Additions... Following is a summary of the errors and omissions contained in the CAHR 50th Anniversary article (Canadian Arabian News, August 2008). These errors have been corrected in the online PDF version of that issue.
Rumors of Bud’s Passing Were Greatly Exaggerated We are pleased to report that Mr. Bud Oddy is indeed alive and well. Pure editorial error had resulted in the supreme unfortune of a premature notice of his passing in the piece on Oddy’s Skyline Arabians, p. 66. Our deepest regrets and apologies are extended to Bud, Janet, and family. We are very happy to correct the mistake and note that the Oddy’s breeding program is still going strong after 52 years.
Canadian-Owned National Champion Stallion On p. 71, in regards to Gai-Champion, we inadvertently omitted his most important wins: that of Canadian National Champion Stallion in 1975, and US National Top Ten in 1977.
Horses in the North; Canadian Nationals History Both of the entries for 1980 on page 74 contained errors. Re: the Editor’s Note about Arabians in Canada’s far North, Jean Berg has thankfully corrected my assumption that Dawn Porter took her Arabians with her when she moved. Jean writes, “To the best of my knowledge her horses were left at Spruce Lake, SK under the care of her father until she returned.” The second 1980 paragraph contains a factual error as well; the first Half-Arabian National halter classes began in Edmonton, AB in 1971. We had found a previous reference to the 1980 show as being “the first complete Canadian Nationals,” and had mistakenly interpreted the statement. In truth, the 1980 National show was the first time the show consisted entirely of National classes. Previously, it had been held alongside Class “A” shows put on by members of the Calgary, Edmonton, and Vancouver Arabian horse clubs.
The Other Grey Mare Roxanne Rogers wrote in to say, “The write up on Dad and the Williamsons (p. 68) was fabulous. Unfortunately I gave you some incorrect info which Dad pointed out to me. The mare the little indian is riding was Bindaffa (Indraff x *Bint Rajwa), not Bint Kontessa (also by Indraff; both mares were foaled in 1955). It surprised me that Dad’s memory is still so good about certain things!”
A Few More Faces You May Remember Though we searched high and low, we hadn’t managed to find pictures of the missing Canadian Arabian News editors before going to print. Here they are courtesy of Jean Berg. Shari Christie was editor from 1992-93; Peggy Arthurs from 1993 to ‘99. Shari Christie was also a Registrar in the CAHR office for several years.

10 Canadian Arabian Horse News
Letter to the Editor In regards to the Jean Berg article on Raffles (Canadian Arabian News, Aug 2008, p. 50), her opening sentence seems to me to be misleading. Lady Anne Blunt would not, not purchase a breeding stallion because of his color. She did have the knowledge that certain international purchasers, ie. governments, would not buy greys. She did admire and desire certain horses that were in fact grey. Her knowledge of Polish Arabian horse ancestry would have been the reason why she would not have purchased Skowronek (Lady Anne Blunt: Journals and Correspondence 1878-1917, pp 188, 194, 197, 335, 339, 476, 402, 403, 482, and 483). Having read this book more than once, I can assure you that authentic blood was Lady Blunt’s number one concern. I hope everyone can find the time to read this important, historically accurate and insightful book. Sincerely, Scot Gannon Autor Jean Berg replies: In reply to Scot Gannon, thank you – sometimes one needs a sharp rap on the knuckles in order to do the right thing. I had looked at that first sentence in “Forever *Raffles” more than once with regret. You’re correct, Lady Anne Blunt wouldn’t have let color deter her from purchasing a grey horse if its form pleased her. Perhaps the following will explain why I inadvertently chose that wording. In Lady Anne Blunt: Journals & Correspondence 1878-1917, in regards to two of the Blunts’ earliest acquisitions, it is said Sherifa (in 1878) had no fault but that of her colour, and spoke of Khefifa (in 1881) as being so handsome that the ugly color didn’t matter. The exceptional stallions Azrek (sold to South Africa) and Shahwan (to USA) were always mentioned in glowing terms: the latter, according to Lady Anne, wouldn’t have been sold were he not grey even though they’d never see his like again (The Crabbet Arabian Stud: Its History and Influence, p. 70). This does prove your point; there are many good references concerning grey horses including those on the pages that you’ve listed. I really enjoyed re-reading the above books and hope that this will in some way satisfy readers as to why that sentence was so written. The negativity toward the colour grey, at the time of writing, had remained foremost in my mind. Personally, I have the utmost admiration for Lady Anne Blunt and have often thought that a movie of her adventurous life would make fantastic viewing. Yours truly, Jean E.

The official “grande” opening of Pomeroy Arabians International in Grande Prairie, Alberta, owned by Bob Pomeroy and Carrie Langsroth, was held on August 30th. Under construction for just over a year, the facility debuted to a large audience of 500600 people from across North America. Clinics and demonstrations were held throughout the day by noted trainers Greg Gallun from California and Liz Bentley from Missouri. A private treaty sale was held throughout the weekend’s events and many horses were sold to both seasoned and new Arabian owners alike. The highlight of the event was Bob and Carrie’s focus on raising funds for the Peace Area Riding for the Disabled Society (PARDS). PARDS is a non-profit community organization which provides a unique service to children and adults with complex needs. PARDS’ mission statement is “To enhance the lives of individuals through equine assisted therapy”. The event culminated with a barbeque steak dinner and both a silent and live auction with all proceeds to PARDS. In total, $103,424.00 was raised for the Society. Jennifer Douglas, the executive director for PARDS, said “It is difficult to put into words exactly how appreciative we are to Bob and Carrie for including us in their open house. All we can say is ‘thank you’.” A large portion of the funds raised will go towards building a new PARDS riding facility near Grande Prairie. Congratulations to Bob and Carrie and their staff for putting on such a memorable event. Please read more about Pomeroy Arabians’ Open House in the Jan 2009 issue of the Canadian Arabian News.

Nationals
The Regina Exhibition Park once again played host to the Canadian National Championships, August 18th to 23rd, 2008. As expected, numbers were down this year – somewhere in the mid-800 entry range, but classes were still packed with top quality horses and loads of excitement. The weather was relentlessly and unapologetically hot as the week began. By Wednesday, the water trucks spraying down the pavement near the stables would simply stop and hold steady as passers by ducked under the spray for a little relief. Thursday night and Friday brought a bit of crispness to the air, surely giving some added spark to at least a few of our four-legged exhibitor’s performances. Saturday was the final day of the 51st year of the show and fittingly the weather was absolutely perfect.
A Major Win for Pomeroy Arabians The shining moments at any National Show often occur in the Halter division and the results from the Royal Red couldn’t have been more thrilling for many of our Canadian entries. Breaking what has been a 30-plus year drought, a Canadian-owned stallion brought home the Championship roses. Pomeroy Arabians’ entry, Major Jamaal (Soho Carol x Maya El Jamaal) with Greg Gallun at the lead, bested a field that included Shaddofax, LD Pistal and FM Echota for the coveted title. Owners Bob Pomeroy and Carrie Langstroth, who call Grande Prairie, Alberta home, celebrated in style on Saturday night after this fantastic win. 16 Canadian Arabian Horse News
Crowd favourite Bey Ambition (Regal Actor JP x Bey Shahs Lady), owned by Murray & Shirley Popplewell of Saskatoon, SK turned on the charisma Tuesday night in a large and particularly topnotch 2-year-old Colt class. The charismatic youngster showed his heart out for handler Claudinei Machado and took the Reserve Championship, earning a boisterous standing ovation from the crowd on his victory pass. Other Canadian colts earning a Top Ten were Aria Egzalt (Gazal Al Shaqab x Egzonera), owned by Pomeroy Arabians and Churchill VM (Enzo x SF Portfolioo) owned and bred by Saskatchewan native, Vivian Murphy. Winning the class was WR Onassis (Odyssey SC x Lillian) and David Boggs for Alberto Cediel of Florida. The Open Mares class saw the crown go to the very typey Scheherazade PE (Armani FC x Autumn Tapestry), owned by the Weber Corp. of Wellington OH and shown by Andy Sellman. In the Futurity Fillies, Carrie Langstroth’s filly En Vogue FA (Enzo x Psyren FA) earned the Reserve Championship garland with Joao Rodriques, while Carrie herself handled En Vogue to a Top Ten in the AOTH Mare class. The Half-Arabian Futurity Geldings class was handily won by the very handsome Bentley WA (Couturier x Reedann’s Windsong asha), owned and bred by Ed and Laura Friesen of Saskatoon, SK and presented by Terry Holmes. The HA Gelding AOTH saw Reserve Championship honours go to Kohlminer+++/ (x RA Hot Every Nite asha) with Brad Mellafont for Janel Copley of Dunmore,

Country, English Pleasure & Park Always a big draw, the English Pleasure horses didn’t disappoint. The extremely talented Hucks Connection V (Hucks Premiere V x Crystal Lace) was unanimous with Vicki Humphrey in the Purebred English Open while Joel Kiesner got the nod from all three judges on purebred Junior English Horse Sin City (Baske Afire x Las Veghaz). Tish Kondas dominated in the half-Arab classes, taking the unanimous win in Park with Heir Strike+/ (x Supreme Heir asha) and edging out Vicki Humphrey aboard Revelation JF+// (x Defiancce) for the win in a very entertaining Half-Arabian English Open aboard Cool Night+// (x Night of Roses NSHR). Matoi son Toi Slamtastic CRF with rider Kevin

Diane Comeau of Sherwood Park AB and her purebred mare Doubley Blessed+// (AA Apollo Bey x Frasca) went Reserve Champion in the Country Pleasure AATR 18-39 and earned a Top Ten in the AAOTR. Diane also earned Top Tens with LBC Robert E Lee+/ (x Bentlee) in the HA English AO 18-39 and with MFC Allegro (x CH Sultan’s Matchmaker asha) in the Country Pleasure AO and AT 18-39. Lana Weatherdon’s purebred gelding Splash Afire+// (Afire Bey V x Vallejo Splash) was Reserve Champion in the Arabian Show Hack Open with Todd Ehret in the irons. Todd’s daughter Isobelle and her gelding Strikes Sinbad+/ (x Knolland Strike Up the Band ASHA) made light work of the HA Show Hack JT 17 & Under and trotted off with the roses.

Wendy Obst of Drayton Valley, AB turned on the charm and brought home two back-to-back Reserve Championships in the competitive Half-Arabian Western AAOTR and AATR 40 & Over on her chestnut gelding, Guess What+/ (x Whoa Zan What aqha).

Ed & Pat Galloway of Ft. Saskatchewan, AB, jogged away with the Reserve Championship in the HA Western Sidesaddle Open. In the working western divisions, Reining is often at the top of the highlight reel for many spectators. Winning the Open Purebred Championship was the appropriately named Flash MA+/ (Pepi Pasb x Franaliera). LaRae Fletcher-Powell piloted the gelding to the top score for owner David Theilman of Spokane, WA. Top Tens in that class from north of the border went to Justice Shines (Shine on Mahogany x Lasa Cheers) with Kim Smith for Connie Hunter (AB), The Midnite Mist (The Desert Chief x Midnite Charm) and Sharon McLean for Carol Cross (SK), and Joelle Stasiewich (AB) and her sparky mare Neeranna (SH Magnate x Spring Break). Earlier in the week, Joelle and “Annie” rode their way to a Reserve Championship in a ride-off in the Reining AOTR 18-39. The Half-Arabian Open Championship went to Crystal McNutt and CA Just Plain Fancy (x D A Napitov+/) for Story Book Stables, AZ. Hot on their heels were sisters Rena and Sharon McLean from Shaunavon SK aboard Raffs Swiss Mocha (x R-Neptune) and Kashas Zanzybar Black (x Pocos Prince aqha) (respectively), and Jill McKinney’s entry, BSF Gunsmoke+ (x Were Dunn aqha), all of whom earned Top Ten. Jill McKinney, of Edmonton, AB brought three entries this year and took home a number of titles, most at the hands of daughter Leah McKinney Lawrence.

Canadians Strong in the Hunter Division Hunter Pleasure is consistently one of the largest and often deepest divisions out there. Undoubtedly, Laura Wolsey of Langley, BC and her junior horse O Lordy (The Firelord+/ x Hi Passion) were the talk of the show when the pair neatly trotted out with the Championship in the Hunter Pleasure Junior Horse Class against some tough competition. They added to their fantastic run with
back-to-back Championships in the Hunter AO and AT 18-39 and finished off with a Top Ten in the Open. Ashleigh Clark (BC) and GSF Makin A Fortune+++// (Triften+/ x Princess Becki) topped their show with back-to-back Championships in the Arabian Hunter JOTR & JTR 14-17. Trainer Jada Reed added to the gelding’s titles with Top Tens in Arabian Hunter Open, Sport Horse Show Hack and Arabian English Side Saddle. The Arabian Hunter JTR 13 & Under class had one of the most crowded rings of the show and coming out on top was KV Once And Again++++// (Eternety x OK Once In A Blue Moon) with Isobelle Ehret for owners Gordon and Louisa Breitkreuz (AB). Todd Ehret also took the gelding to a Championship in Training Level Dressage and went Top Ten in First Level Dressage and Sport Horse Under Saddle. In the Half-Arabian Hunter division, Canadians left few of the top spots unclaimed. Open Hunter went to Ashley Toye’s (BC) Chance To Jam+// (CWP Chances Are x She Be Jammin) with Cheryl Fletcher. Ashley then rode the gelding to the roses in both the HA Hunter AOTR and AATR 18-39. Gloria Bain (BC) and her mare So Blue++/ (Soldat x Anais Anais) are a relatively new pair, but that didn’t stop them from riding out with the Championship in the HA Hunter AATR 40 & Over and a Top Ten in the AAOTR 40 & Over. The mare also went Reserve Champion in the HA Hunter Junior Horse with Jada Reed. Gloria took home

Masterfeeds Breeders’ Cup This is the inaugural year for the awarding of the first Masterfeeds Breeders Cup, entitling a trophy and a $1000 cash prize. The win ended up as a tie between two very estabished breeders, Ed & Laura Friesen and Sylvia Lenzner, who tied for the 2008 honors.
To enter the Breeders’ Cup, breeders may nominate as many horses as they like, but only points from their top three horses, accumulated at the show, count towards their total.
