Derivative Register & Fees Mel Gubb is working with our IT contractor to put in place the codes required to allow 12.5% Derivatives to be registered with the Society. We have in the region of 120 possible code combinations to work with. Registration Certificates for Derivatives from 12.5% to 25% will not be issued until the computer programme is up and running. All registrations received in the interim will be checked and a temporary letter issued advising that the registration is pending so the owner can still enter their horse in this season’s shows.
Mel Gubb has been in contact with the Incorporated Societies Office to check the validity of Joint/ Family/Partnership memberships. The Incorporated Societies Act 1908 dictates that a member must be an individual or an Incorporated Society to be a member of the NZAHBS. Previous Councils have allowed a number of Joint/Family/Partnerships to have been formed which will need to be corrected to individual membership(s). The National Secretary will be writing to those concerned with the options available to them.
Horses/ponies put forward for 12.5% Derivative Registration must be traceable back to a Purebred Arabian registered with a recognised Society with no unbroken lines to finish at a minimum of 12.5% Arabian blood. The onus is on the person submitting the registration to provide a pedigree to prove this. Derivative Registration fees have been revised by Council and take effect immediately: Gelding (any age) Filly/Mare (any age) Colt/Stallion (any age)
$ 75.00 $ 75.00 $200.00
Endurance Endurance New Zealand have set their 2013 Forum dates - they are: South Island 13/14 April and North Island 11/12 May. Full Membership Fees 2013 Due to the continued pressure on the Society’s finances Council has increased the Full Membership Fee due 1 January 2013 to $200.00 including GST. Members will be given the opportunity to pay their subscription monthly over the year. Details for this option will be sent with the December mailout.
A late fee of $300.00 will be applicable to any breeder submitting late registrations for horses over the age of 2 years. Such applications will need to be approved by Council before being accepted and must adhere to whatever rules were in place at the time the foal was born, the breeder must have been a member at the time the foal was born, and a member at the time of application.

AGM REPORT by Kim Cawte of Candy Lodge
Well, we have had a busy time during the last couple of weeks and it was great to be involved with the New Zealand Arab Horse Breeders Society helping to organise the 2012 Stud Tour. With all the meetings I have recently attended through my work, I decided not to attend the AGM, which was held at the Armitage in Tauranga. On Saturday 5th May, Bruce and I got out all the cleaning gear and scrubbed the four (and a bit – Melika’ s foal which is now just over half term) horses in preparation for the day. I was under strict supervision not to over-clip bridle paths, so the end result was rather pleasing. A quick spray of show gloss and a night in the stables was in order. On Sunday morning it was time to get the sausage rolls, cakes, etc ready for morning tea as well as organise the horses and Candy’s rider – Claudia. Bruce was taking everything in his stride even managing to be chief cake slicer, horse handler and transport manager and it was great to have my friend Miriam help with the hoof polish and being roped in at the last minute to lead the horses. Colleen brought her Purebred mare Atchina Shaquila (AU) along with harness and Lee WynneJones brought her Purebred mare Karamea Leilahna for an inhand display. Friends – Hayley and Andy with their daughters Ruby and Lila rode their ponies from up the road to Candy Lodge – Ava and Shetland pony Scruffy, for a bit of additional entertainment. Cars started arriving before 9am and it was great to see people from as far as Christchurch to

Whangarei attending, as well as the odd local. A good turnout, but unfortunately I was unable to meet most, having to speak in front of everyone, committing to memory a spiel about all the horses, riders and handlers present and feeling jolly nervous! Managed to even include Nico (the dog) and explain his limp from his recent operation. Colleen soon had people going for rides in her gig, which provided a different show of Arabian versatility and she has since been requested to another event from this showing. Candy Selika didn’t disappoint after only having a few lessons prior in dressage and being only 3 years old. I was hesitant in showing the matriarch, 27 year old Candy Zara, but am so proud of her and after the good summer and quantities of grass – with her shiny coat she didn’t look too bad. Candy Shalimar went back in time to his inhand days with Miriam in his solid, Quarab way and Marhaba Melika – looking very “in foal”, flaunted herself, mainly looking for her paddock mate Zara. Lee’s friend Alison took Karamea Leilahna into the paddock for display with some of her ribbons and she fitted in perfectly with the other Candy Lodge horses, which are all chestnut with a white blaze/snip! After morning tea, I then proceeded to lead everyone in their cars up to Anne Marie Garcia’s Byzance Stud to see her horses which included Arabians, National Show Horses and American Saddlebreds. A quick return home to tidy up before heading to lunch at Kiwi 360 then onto Gerzanne Arabians for a musical display with their lovely Arabian horses.

2012 WAHO AWARD WINNER by Sandra Haywood
Karamea Bay Shadow was bred by Alison Steward of Karamea Arabians. Shadow is by the late El Kheir Galal who is the sire of many very successful halter & performance horses and his dam is Karamea Mira. Shadow started his show career in 1995 with breeder Alison and was later shown successfully through to March 2000 with owner Robyn Barker. Shadow excelled in the show ring and took out many major placings in several A Class Shows and also many wins and placings at local A & P Shows. The biggest highlight of Shadow’s show career was winning the title of Reserve National Champion Inhand Gelding at the NZ National Arabian Championships in 1999.
2002 - Taupo World Masters Series Ride 1st 120k** Junior & Best Conditioned 2003 - North Island Championships 1st 100k** Junior & Best Conditioned 2003 - NZ National Championships 1st 100k** Junior & Best Conditioned 2003 - North Island Championships 3rd 100k** Open 2004 - Horse of the Year Public Display Q 65k Open
Listed below some of Shadow’s Major Show results:
2005 - North Island Champs 10th 100k** Open
1995 - Arabian Spectacular 1st Classic Action & Champion Gelding
2005 - NZ National Championships 4th 100k** Open

It didn’t take long for Shadow to progress through the Endurance novice system to gain open status. Shadow excelled quickly and was the winner of many 40-80 kilometre rides in his first couple of seasons and continued this trait throughout his entire career whilst also excelling in FEI events up to 3 Star Level. Shadow is a lovely natured horse with a laid back attitude, he does not waste any energy or get over excited. He also has a naturally low heart rate and his average lag time is between 2-3 minutes, this was a huge advantage especially in the longer distance rides where good lag times are essential for faster completion times and of course gaining leads on fellow competitors. Shadow was successful in both the Junior and Open divisions taking out major placings in both, including 3 Championship Titles. 18
Listed below are Shadows major endurance results (Championship’s/FEI-CEI Star Events etc):
2005 - Taupo Labour Weekend Ride Q 120k Open 2006 - North Island Champs 9th 160k*** Open 2006 - Ruahine Premier Points 3rd 100k Open 2007 - Wellington Premier Points 3rd 100k Open 2007 - NZ National Championships 1st 100k** Open 2008 - NZ National Champs 9th 160k*** Open 2009 - North Island Championships 4th 120k** Open 2010 - North Island Champs 3rd= 80k CEN Open 2011 - NZ National Champs 3rd 60K CEN Open Shadow was twice the recipient of the beautiful “Registered Purebred Arabian Competing under its NZAHBS Registered Name” Sash - first in 2003 and again in 2004 in the 100k** Junior & Open events. Shadow is now retired. At 20 years young he is sound and well. He competed right up until the end of last season. His total lifetime endurance kilometres are 6000, there are only a handful of horses that have completed this distance and those that have are on the Endurance Distance Roll of Merit for life. This is a huge achievement showing that Shadow is the perfect ambassador for the Arabian breed - versatile at excelling in both show ring and endurance, and proving a worthy recipient of the WAHO Award.

A Gift from the Desert: The Arabian Horse
The new classic film about the Arabian horse. Every breeder, owner, and rider should have it! Filmed on location in Saudi Arabia, Oman, Great Britain, Kentucky, and California with the Saudi Equestrian riders, the Oman Royal Calvary, National Jumping Champions, National Dressage Champions, National Western Champions, and National Working Cowhorse Champions. A soaring panorama of the horse that began in Arabia and went on to create empires and champions today in every category. This film was written and directed by award-winning filmmaker Jo Franklin. Named “One of the Top 100 Film Producers in the U.S.” by Millimeter Magazine, Ms. Franklin is a rider and breeder of Arabian horses.
“This is a truly exciting history from the early to the modern evolution of t Arabian horse. Learn about the breed that has made more of an impact o modern breeds than any other.” ~ ARABIAN HORSE ASSOCIATION
“This film is the most informative, entertaining and fast paced documenta on horses that I have ever seen.”
~ KRISTIN HARDIN, Hall of Fame Trainer, National Champion Trainer, Jumpe
“A wonderful film! A fascinating and entertaining story whether you are a horse expert or novice.”
~ KAREN HOUSE, Pulitzer Prize Winner, former Publisher Wall Street Journa
“Brilliant! Galloping out of remotest antiquity, prancing majestically at mankind’s most fabled royal courts, in an awe-inspiring destiny siring all lineages of racing’s thoroughbreds as well as the mounts for Napolean’s lancers and Gustavus Adolphus’ “Polish-Arabs”, the “Gift from the Desert the gorgeously enchanting star of this wondrous film.
“At this moment when tragic images bombard us nightly from the Middle East, one of our world’s most expert film-makers has launched a star into our sadly darkened sky. Gift from the Desert chronicles an all too rare interaction with the Arab world whereby 19/20th century U.S. breeders helped to “save” this splendid breed. For joy as well as useful wisdom come and view this beautiful film !” ~ DR. CARNEY GAVIN, Historian
