NASS News Fall 2009

Farm News from Kerrigan Bloodstock 

in Eureka, California - Elaine Kerrigan 

Well, finally got back from the AHA Region III 

Arabian Sport Horse Championship Show in 

Sacramento, CA... Whew!! What a long 

week! It was incredibly hot with temperatures 

in the high 90's and low 100's. Tough on us 

North Coast folks. 

First day was to just get to the Sacramento 

area and unload tack and supplies. Temperature 

was 104!!! 

Second day was to go to Sonora, CA (2 hours 

drive) and pick up three horses from the 

trainer. We watched them all work and then all 

were bathed and clipped. Then off to the show 

ground (another 2 hours) and meet up with the 

other two horses that were coming in from 

Eureka. Our whole group of people were Chris 

Bailey (owner of KB Jull Fahim (KB Omega 

Fahim+++//(ox) X HC Wild Irish Rose) and 

KB Kalila Fahim (KB Omega Fahim+++//(ox) 

X Vessa)), Sandra Spalding (owner of KB 

Sawda (P-ShA-98-154) ( (Janos (ShA-98-154) 

X KB Salim Fahim (ox)), Joan Clark (owner of 

KB Shakami Fahim (ShA-05-236) ((KB 

Omega Fahim+++//(ox) X Shagya's SZASZA 

AF (ShA)) and Elaine Kerrigan (owner of KB 

Omega Fahim+++//(ox)). 

KB Omega Fahim +++//(ox) & Chelsey Sibley 

Farm News ~ Farm News 

Third day and first day of the show, four of 

these horses showed "In Hand". Meg (KB 

Omega Fahim+++//(ox)) was tied for Champion 

in the Open Arabian Stallion championship 

class, but was awarded Reserve Champion. 

However, he got a "9" for his trot!!, with 

Elaine as handler. Joan showed Meg in the 

Amateur to Handle Arabian Stallion and was 

awarded Reserve Champion, too. 

KB Omega Fahim +++//(ox) & Chelsey Sibley 

Joan showed Shaka (KB Shakami Fahim) in 

the Amateur to Handle half Arabian Mare class 

and was Champion!! Elaine showed Kali (KB 

Kalila Fahim) in the Open half Arabian Mare 

class and was Champion, also!! Dressage 

trainer, Chelsey Sibley, rode Meg in a warm up 

class at Intermediate I and won. Sandra rode 

Syd (KB Sawda) in a training level test and had 

a good ride. So we were off to a pretty good 

start!! 

Second day of the show was dressage for Meg, 

Jull (KB Jull Fahim) and Kali. Meg won the 

Championship for Intermediate I. Jull won the 

Championship for 4th level. Kali did well and 

finished in the middle of 16+ horses. Joan on 

Shaka and Sandra on Syd rode in the warm up 

rings to school and gain experience. On that 

evening, by request of the show management, 

Meg and Chelsey entertained the crowd with a 

Grand Prix Freestyle. This was Meg's first 

freestyle and he is just schooling Grand 

Prix. We were proud!!! 

The last day of the show was more dressage. 

Meg won the Championship for Intermediate 

II. Jull won the Championship for Prix St. 

Georges. Kali was 4th in the First Level Championship. 

Syd was 7th in the Training Level 

Championship. Joan and Shaka enjoyed the 

warm up rings with successful schooling and 

gaining experience for next year. We were all 

tired!! But happy!! 

Then it was back to Sonora for Meg and Jull 

and for Elaine to have a lesson on Kali before 

driving home to Eureka (10 hours). Joan and 

Sandra headed to Eureka without the Sonora 

side trip. 

Meg and Jull will show at the California Dressage 

Society Championship show in October. I 

hope the weather is cooler!!! 

Farm News from WitSend Shagyas in 

Cerrillos, New Mexico - Kathy Richkind 

Sad news from Gretchen Aycock about 

Shagya’s Sprite AF (*Shandor x *Shagya II- 

2). “Mighty Spritey” has suffered a career ending 

injury to her SI joint (ruptured ligament). 

She will remain serviceably sound but unable to 

maintain her high performance career as a 

jumper, eventer and dressage horse. Spritey 

spent last winter in Dallas at Gretchen’s sister’s 

barn, where she ended the winter as the Children’s 

Jumper Champion of the Dallas winter 

circuit. She came back to Albuquerque in the 

spring and Gretchen was preparing to show her 

at Third level dressage in our May show when 

the injury occurred – no one knows how or why. 

Shagya’s Sprite AF 

She has been retired back to Dallas, where she 

will spend several months each year on pasture, 

and four-five months being ridden in the 

local hunt – I am sure this is Spritey’s idea of 

heaven, but all her fans are very sad. Gretchen 

had used her as her lesson horse as well, and 

said that Spritey was know for taking impeccable 

care of any child rider, but her adult students 

had to really mind their p’s and q’s as 

she had little tolerance for their mistakes! 

Sprite really was the epitome of the beautiful, 

versatile, clever and athletic Shagya and she 

had an equally talented and capable trainer and 

rider who loved competing with her. This is a 

loss for Shagya public relations as well as a 

personal loss for Gretchen. 

On a brighter note, WS Emilagra (*Shandor x 

Echo Daal) has qualified again for USDF Regional 

competition at Training level. 

We had hoped to qualify at First level too, but a 

short bout of a sore back and a mild case of 

dryland distemper (pigeon fever) kept us out of 

two shows so we will miss that goal this year. 

We plan on showing at First level from now on, 

and are working on some Second level movements.

2 NASS News Fall 2009

Milagra’s part-Shagya daughter WS Elodie 

(Feuertanzer (ATA) x WS Emilagra) has gone 

down to Gretchen’s to start her under saddle 

work – if all goes well, Gretchen would like to 

show her in the FEI young horse classes next 

year. 

WS Emilagra 

Elodie is a very opinionated red mare (I blame 

the Trakehner half for that) but also very confident 

and very steady when she has been 

shown in hand (that is the Shagya half) – hopefully 

she will progress nicely and mellow out 

enough to become my next show horse – 

reports so far are good. 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 

NASS SPONSORED USDF ALL 

BREEDS AWARDS 

This year there are at least four Shagyas competing 

for the NASS sponsored USDF All 

Breed Awards – the biggest turnout yet! 

For those of you who have not tried dressage 

training, it benefits horses in any discipline and 

Shagyas can be quite successful at it! 

Happy riding everyone!

Farm News from Two Buck Shagyas in 

Oxford, Georgia - Jamie Buck 

Look out Southerners! The Southeast is gaining 

3 more Shagyas and 3 Shagya foals on the 

way! 

After the NASS Inspections in Montana I will 

bring my three mares, Echo Daal (Hungarian 

Bravo x Dolly’s Echo (ox)), Felicity (*Oman x 

May Folly (ox), and Nina AF (Janos x *Niobe) 

home to Georgia. 

Echo Daal and Nina AF have been bred to 

Frank & Arlene Michaud’s Shagya stallions, 

*O’Bajan Spirit (O’Bajan XX (Pamino) x 

*Gazal XV-5) and Felicity is bred to Rio Bravo 

AF (Janos x Rachelle AA x Hungarian 

Bravo). So if everything goes as planned, by 

this time next year the Shagya population will 

again double at Two Buck Shagyas. 

*O’Bajan Spirit 

In case some of you are curious and wondered 

how we came up with our farm name... Our last 

name of course being “Buck” - Charles and 

Jamie - hence the name “Two Buck Shagyas”. 

We are located just 4 miles from the Georgia 

International Horse Park and love the area. 

There is a horse show every weekend at the 

park! Right in our own backyard. 

The weather this year has been favorable compared 

to last year’s drought! We have had rain 

almost every week and our pastures are growing 

nicely. Echo Daal, Nina AF and Felicity are 

going to think winter will never come once they 

get here since our winter’s are very mild and we 

hardly see any ice or snow compared to the 

Montana winters. 

Charles has worked hard to ensure everything 

is just right before the girls get home. I don’t 

know who is more excited. 

Now the fun really begins... 

Farm News from Maple Ridge Sport 

Horses in Clinton, Indiana - Gwyn Davis 

Shagya Sun (*Shandor x *Aminah) showed 

again what we love about our horses. Sunny 

performed with a beginner dressage rider at a 

dressage show in Intro A and B and Scored 

65% and 68.5% winning the class with many 7s 

and one 8 for free walk. He just went out and 

preformed like a gentleman. Check out our

Farm News from Tanglewood Shagya 

Farms in Saint Ignatius, Montana - 

Frank & Arlene Michaud 

Seems the summer has flown by with little time 

for riding this year. Frank and I stayed busy 

either putting hay up or getting our mares bred 

in addition to keeping up with everyday happenings 

on the farm. 

This time next year we should have some very 

nice Shagya foals hitting the ground! Bravana 

AA (Hungarian Bravo x TPR Shatana) and 

Alizabeth Abeyadh (Cosmos Whitner x Alisz 

Abeyadh) are bred to *O’Bajan Spirit 

(O’Bajan XX (Pamino) x *Gazal XV-5). SW 

Naomi (*Oman x Tara Nazzett) is bred to Rio 

Bravo AF (Janos x Rachelle AA x Hungarian 

Bravo). SW Naomi’s foal is already pre-sold! 

If all goes well we will be adding another exceptionally 

bred mare to Tanglewood Shagyas - 

“Shagya Sisu AF” (*Shandor x *Shagya II-2). 

By this time next year, hopefully prior to foaling 

season, we will have more than a dozen horses 

moved and settled in Tennessee. We anticipate 

getting this move over soon. 

We have some very talented horses and are 

very anxious about getting them in the ring and 

on the trails. 

Rio Bravo AF 

Hope you are all having a great summer!! 


June 2009 ISG Meeting Report 

NASS’ ISG American Delegates Kathy Richkind and Adele Furby attended the ISG meeting in Northern Germany over the weekend of the 13-15th June 2009. 

The meeting was held at an agricultural teaching facility, which made a good place for the meeting. On Friday afternoon and Saturday morning several lectures 

were given. A very good simultaneous translator was utilized so that those of us needing English translation could hear everything via earphones. Topics included 

raising and training endurance horses, current research on melanomas, breeding program used by the Holsteiner breeders, how to continue to develop a positive 

image for Shagya Arabians worldwide, and the ZSAA (newer German society) database and development and use of "breeding value" determinations which they 

have computerized and some of which is available over the net. 

Saturday afternoon was horse exhibitions. 

We saw a number of horses free jumped through a jump chute similar to the one NASS utilizes. 

(see photo) 

The only main difference was that ZSAA uses a barrier at the end so that the horse also must 

stop rather quickly after the oxer. 

The ZSAA also performed an inspection of a mare and foal to show how they do it. 

ZSAA also presented the "interior test", a test which they have adapted from some "disposition 

tests" which have been developed in recent years. The "interior test" consisted of walking a 

horse in hand around the arena in which there were three stations with "tests". The first station 

consists of several striped streamers which are affixed to jump standards so that they flutter a 

bit while the horse is walking by. The second station is an area where a rattling sound is introduced 

as the horse walks by. The third station is an opened umbrella lying on the ground. The 

idea is that a judge observes how the horse reacts and makes comments accordingly. No 

scores are given, just a description of how the horse reacts to each object. 

We also saw a pas de deux with a Spanish theme, a tandem pair whereby the rear horse was 

driven and the front horse was driven (see photo), a dressage ride featuring a lovely 5 year old stallion from Denmark (the only horse from the Nordic countries 

which was at the event), some demonstrations of horse activities you can use with kids in riding lessons, a Shagya going over some pretty impressive jumps, plus 

several other interesting ridden exhibitions using Shagyas. Certainly many of them showcased the great Shagya disposition! 

Sunday morning was the ISG meeting. Most of the meeting this year was routine business, 

without much controversy. Unfortunately there was no translator for this meeting, so for those 

attendees who didn't speak or understand German it was not possible to follow the nuances of 

the discussions. Other Americans at the meeting were Shelley Housh and Hallie Goetz. 

NASS Proposals to the ISG Board 

1) NASS’ first proposal requesting that if ISG were to allow more than one society per country, 

that the rule must apply to all and that there be no "exceptions": Basically, Al Samarraie summarized 

the BoD position that the ISG bylaws do not preclude having more than one society 

per country, and that the BoD wants to be an "umbrella organization for all ISG conforming 

societies, regardless of location," etc. Adele made the point that, while this may be true, several 

years ago the Delegate Conference passed by majority vote an Austrian proposal which 

maintains the "one country, one society" rule. So the delegates would have to vote to change 

this policy. 

The other main point made by delegates and the BoD is that it would be impractical for an 

applying society to send its materials (studbooks, etc.) to all society delegates to review, and that other delegates don't want to have to review such materials anyway. 

They would rather trust the ISG BoD to make the decision. It was pointed out that when an application is accepted by majority vote, it is an acceptance pending 

the BoD reviewing their studbooks, etc., and finding them in compliance. Adele pointed out that in the case of ASAV last year, we knew that they weren't ISG 

compliant already, using the example of the stallion which had NOT been approved by NASS which is listed on the ASAV site as "approved". 

NASS wanted this issue brought up and discussed during the conference but was not proposing that it be made into a resolution or voted upon. 

After this topic was finished, a letter was presented by Mr. Nagel, who is very experienced and respected breeder and judge in Germany. His stated that his letter 

was in response to the NASS proposal, which he wrote when he received the info with the NASS proposal. He said that after living through all of the problems with 

two societies in Germany, he was in favor of the "one country, one society" policy. 

2) NASS’ second proposal regarding earmarking some of NASS dues for inspection expenses: Mr. Al Samarraie proposed to help NASS by paying for his transatlantic 

ticket for this tour. He suggested that NASS withdraw our proposal and NASS agreed to have it withdrawn. 

3) NASS’ third proposal to allow a member society to be represented by only one delegate was accepted favorably by both the BoD and the delegates. Main concern 

is that the delegate would need to be instructed by his society's BoD regarding the society's position on the agenda items, so that the delegate wouldn't be just 

expressing his own opinion rather than the opinion of the society he represents. Of course, we are in agreement with this concept and the ISG BoD suggested that 

they will try to generate appropriate language for this which could be presented and voted upon at next year's meeting. 

Next year's meeting date is already set which will occur in conjunction with an International Championship Show at Piber, Austria, put on by the Austrian Association. 

It will be a combined Shagya and Lipizzaner show (Piber is where the breeding farm is for the Spanish Riding School, South of Vienna).
