Emily Christen and Silver Bells 

My name is Emily Christen 

and I am 13 years old. I love 

school, reading, and singing in 

the choir…I also love to ride. 

I started riding six years ago, when 

we moved to Sisters, Oregon. The 

first year with my trainer Karen 

O’Neal, I leased a pony named Minnie. 

Then we bought my very own 

pony, a 12-year-old Welsh/Thoroughbred 

mare named Mykelti. 

She came straight from a pasture 

in Montana and had a wild spirit. 

I had lots of work to do to get her 

ready to show. Plus, I was only 

seven years old myself. For three 

and a half years, I showed her successfully 

through Level 1 Jumpers 

and Novice Level Eventing. 

Sadly, I outgrew Sydney. We sold 

her to a family in California. That 

was one of the hardest 

things I had ever done, 

but Karen promised 

we would find a 

great horse that 

would match 

my abilities 

and 

ambitions. 

NASS NEWS Summer 2010 

He came to O’Neal Farms 

as a 5-year-old for training 

from breeder Judy Elkins. 

I had seen a lot of sale horses come 

through O’Neal Farms but never 

one like him. He was very green, 

but I had told my parents I wanted a 

horse that I could help train. Karen 

thought he might just be the fellow. 

He was bigger than Sydney, 16.1 hh 

and still growing. He was dappled 

grey with black points - stunning! 

From the very beginning, he was 

a standout. He had all the qualities 

I was looking for in my next 

horse. He was an incredible mover 

for dressage and had tons of 

potential for jumping. What impressed 

us most was his kindness 

and his calm, gentle ways. 

His name was Osceola, aka, “Ozzie”, 

a Shagya/Hanoverian cross! (Amara’s 

O’Biwon/Danika [Hanoverian]). 

We bonded right away, and my parents 

and I thought this beautiful, 

grey gelding was the horse for me. 

Shortly after purchasing my new 

horse, I renamed him Silver Bells. 

For the next year and a half, we 

worked hard with Karen and started 

showing at the Beginner 

Novice Level. Ozzie 

was great, but I made 

some mistakes along 

the way. We went home 

a little disappointed for 

the first three shows. 

We tried again and finished 

the 2009 season 

with a first place at Novice 

Level at the Young Rider 

Horse Benefit in Auburn, WA.

Members Spotlight 

Emily Christen and Silver Bells (continued) 

This was a huge accomplishment for 

me and Ozzie. I was so proud of him. 

For the next few months, Ozzie and 

I took a long winter break. After 

chatting with my friend, Audrey- 

Goldsmith, of Sequel Farms, I told 

her about the great horse I now 

owned, a Part Shagya-Arabian. 

Audrey had never heard of the 

breed and was very interested 

to learn more about Shagyas. 

My mom asked her if she would 

be willing to help me out during 

our break from eventing. 

Audrey suggested I concentrate 

on dressage; it would strengthen 

Ozzie’s core muscles and make him 

stronger for jumping. Audrey even 

suggested that 

I register Ozzie 

with his breed 

association and 

enter a few dressage 

shows. I was 

a little skeptical 

because I loved 

to jump and any 

show without 

jumping, well… 

So, while my 

mom got busy 

sending in the 

registration papers, 

Ozzie and I got to work on 

dressage. We took a dressage clinic 

from Sue Sherry, sent in the entry 

forms for the first dressage show of 

the season, and packed our bags 

for Devonwood, in Sherwood, OR. 

It was decided that I should start 

at Training Level, tests 3 and 4. 

The usual rainy Oregon weather 

didn’t disappoint and neither did 

we. Ozzie and I came away with 

three blue ribbons and awards! 

Our highest score was a 68.4! 

Audrey was very proud of me, 

but mostly I was proud of Ozzie. 

My goal for the rest of 2010 is to 

qualify for the ODS Championships, 

Northwest Regionals and compete 

for a USDF All-Breeds Award. Next 

year I hope to return to eventing at 

Training Level with Karen O’Neal. 

Ozzie is a star. Whether we are at 

a show or a clinic, everyone wants 

to know more about him. I smile 

and proudly say, “He is a Shagya”. 

Thanks again for this opportunity 

to share with your readers about 

Silver Bells and the Shagya breed.

Alice Bartlett & Rena Wray 

CHARLOTTESVILLE, VA 

On Mother’s Day, we put a saddle 

on Klassic Roxanne (Bayram/Wes- 

Kays Kold Kash by Khambridge ox), 

aka “Roxy”, and lunged her in the 

ring. I had put a saddle on her before, 

but not tightened the girth. 

We also lunged her several times 

in the last year. This time, we put 

an old endurance saddle on her. 

It’s synthetic and doesn’t weigh 

much. She bucked a little on the 

lunge line but that was good. 

Then we put on John, my 11-yearold 

grandson. Rena led Roxie once 

around the ring each direction. 


Klassic Roxanne’s first ride. 

John aboard and Rena at the helm. 

It couldn’t be simpler.

Then we put Ellie on (10 years old) 

and did once around each direction. 

So far so good! Jack (Rena’s husband) 

asked me, “when is Rena going 

to ride?” and I said, “Next!” So, 

Rena got on and I led Roxy, just 

once around, since everything was 

going so well. That was a good 

first day! 

Roxie is going to love trail riding. 

We are still hoping she will grow a 

little taller. Her dam is only 14.2, so 

if she would just make 15 hands, 

that would be great! 

It only takes 5 minutes. Once you identify NASS as your organization of choice, 

all the details are taken care of for you. Just shop online like you normally

DELPHI FALLS, NY 

I’m hoping to introduce equipment to Royal Kapricia AF (Shagya Royal 

AF/Kadence DWB), aka “Gracie”, in a few weeks. She will be three next 

month and is all of 17 hh and 1,300 lbs - she is huge! Anyway, I’m not in 

a big hurry to start any lunging as her knees are still open. So, the only 

work we will be doing is bitting, etc. 

Gracie is growing up to be quite a lady. She had blankets on over the 

winter and never batted an eyelash. She knows to come to the back door 

when we arrive to bring her and her pasture mate in for the night. Gracie 

also loves to have the crown of her head scratched and nuzzles me 

to cooperate! She has been doing her lessons on the cross ties and has 

learned to step one foot at a time away from you. I’d give her all A’s on 

those counts. 

I hope to take Gracie to Devon in September to show in the breeding 

division.

Jamie Brätt 

SILVER SPRING, MD 

After training all winter with Gwyn and Lilly Davis, Shagya Skamp AF 

(Janos/Samantha by *Amurath Samurai) arrived in Maryland on April 21. 

I was glowing, of course! Since horses aren’t allowed in my condo, I am 

boarding Skamp at a beautiful facility near BWI airport. There, we have 

access to indoor and outdoor arenas, plus direct access to a state forest 

full of trails. And lots of turnout! 

In the two months since Skamp arrived, we have: established Skamp’s 

place in the gelding herd (he isn’t afraid to kick back!), found a saddle 

that fits, transitioned to Dr. Cook’s bitless bridle, mastered the wash rack, 

Skamp and Jamie - together at last! 

the cross ties & the clippers, achieved consistent ground-tying, had our 

first dressage lesson (Kathy Nelson also happens to be a Hungarian Horse breeder - small world!) and survived 

a 45-mile, 2-day training ride with my edurance buddies. (Skamp ate, drank and conquered all terrain like a 

pro - calm, cool and collected. Noone would believe me that he was 4 years old and new to the sport!) I cannot 

give enough kudos to Adele for the top-quality breeding and to Lilly for the world-class training! 

The rest of the summer will be a mix of arena work and trail work. I also look forward to celebrating Skamp’s 

fifth birthday later this month. I am confident we will be ready for our endurance debut - a25-miler in September. 

I also hope to bring Skamp to a few local shows, just for fun. I can’t decide whether to keep Skamp’s mop 

of a mane (endurance style) or trim it (hunter style). I’m also thick in the debate of “to shoe or not to shoe”. 

In any case, every day training with Skamp is a joy. He is a fantastic ambassador for the Shagya breed.

ALLAN&ANKE BRANDER | CRANBROOK, BC, CANADA 

We hope everyone had a good winter!!! The last snow disappeared 

two days ago on our ranch, all summer birds are arrived, the horses 

have short shiny hair again (when they don’t take a mud bath) and 

now we are enjoying our Murad/Dahri foal and three little calves. This 

is our first mix between Angus and Dexter cows and we are excited. 

Our horse herd is still the same size and we still have three horses for 

sale. The foal named RAA’s Dahmu (*Murad/*Dahri by D’Artagnan) 

also will be for sale later this year. 

Our horses are CEM free. Because of this, we cannot take U.S. mares 

for breeding this year. We are sorry. Have a great spring and summer.

PHIL AND TERRY HEY | SIOUx CITY, IA 

Spring has sprung here on the prairie, and the not a moment too soon. 

We were so glad to see the snow melt - we had over 60” of it over the 

course of the winter, but the melting snow did cause a few problems. 

First, “Flow’”s stall flooded. (Florence: Baron AF/Flora AA by H. Bravo) It 

took about three weeks to dry out. In the meantime, Flow had to bunk 

with “Count”. (Cosmos Whitner: Shagya Sun/Ravenwood Cresent ox by 

Saud El Ameer ox) Fortunately our stalls are large. 

Then, we noticed our gravel driveway getting some pretty deep ruts. 

Phil called a gravel company and ordered a load of crushed rock, leaving 

specific instructions for the driver to dump it at the top of the driveway, 

as it wasn’t nearly firm enough to support the load of a heavy dump 

truck. The driver arrived and Phil was waiting for him. He rolled down his 

window and said “do you think I can drive down there and turn around?” 

Phil said, “No! You’ll get stuck. Go a few yards down and turn around, then come back and dump your load.” 

“Kai”, “Count”, and “Flow”: three happy Shagyas! 

Shagya Emir AF and Terry Hey 

Well, guess what? The driver did that - turned around in 

a neighbor’s firmer, dryer barnyard, then came back and 

drove down our driveway anyway! The result was catastrophic. 

. . it got thoroughly stuck and required some 

heavy duty equipment to get it out. 

In the process, our driveway was churned to the consistency 

of a swamp. I am not exaggerating! I came home 

from work that night to find poor Phil vainly struggling 

to spread the crushed rock with his tractor, to no avail. I 

backed up, parked on the side of the road, walked down 

the drive way and sank to my knees. It was 18” deep, the 

consistency of pudding. It took two dump truck loads 

of rock the size of baseballs to fix it; one to create a base 

and the other to create a surface to drive on. 

But April was a lovely month, the grass is lush and long already and our tulips and daffodils have come and 

gone, and how we are enjoying the lovely purple Dame’s Rocket and Flox and Siberian lily. 

I am happy to say that Shagya Emir AF (Shagya Scherzo AF/Echo Daal by H. Bravo), aka “Kai”, and I are now 

schooling First Level! We did our first schooling show May 8, near Des Moines, and I froze. It was around 40 

degrees with grey skies and strong winds. I felt quite heroic braiding his mane with frozen fingers. It’s a good 

thing I packed Kai’s stable blanket and fleece cooler; he needed them as he is all shed out.

PHIL AND TERRY HEY | SIOUx CITY, IA 

We pulled off a decent ride in Training 2 and won that with a 62.5%. Test 4 wasn’t as successful. I failed to keep 

him straight in the right canter circle and we blew a lead. However, the judge said we did a lovely well balanced 

counter canter! Our next show is the Iowa Dressage Classic the third weekend in June18-19-20. I am 

hoping that we will be able to enter First Level Test 1 by then. 

We drove Flow in the cart for the first time this spring when my uncle paid us an unexpected visit and we treated 

him to a ride. I told him we had a 1883 model of a Ferrari! That mare is certainly ‘all business” when it comes 

to driving and really moves along. I think any 19th century farmer would have been proud to show her off. 

When we drive her, motorists slow waaaayy down and grin as they get a good look at the pretty bay mare trotting 

along. I have also been enjoying trail riding her. Phil is toying with the idea of hopping on this summer; 

we’ll see! 

Our farrier put special shoes on Count to help support his tendon, and it seems to have helped. He seems to 

have settled in his role as herd leader and turn-out supervisor when the three Shagyas are turned out into our 

big 35-acre pasture. Happy riding and schooling! 





You’ll be surprised how many hundreds of big-name online stores are already

ELAINE KERRIGAN | EUREKA, CA 

Spring is bringing busy times, though I will not have any foals this year. 

It’s late April and still dealing with wet, WET, WET weather!! 

*Thassia (Bahadur/Thirza by Sulayman), Samantha (*Amurath 

Samurai/*Kornelia by Koheilan I) and Sophie AF (*Shandor/Samantha 

by *Amurath Samurai) will be bred to KB Omega Fahim+++//. I have to 

ship to myself with my own stallion since he is with the trainer that is 

10 hours away and being in the middle of show season, he can’t come 

home to do his job. (Editor’s Update: Elaine confirmed that *Thassia 

and Samantha are in foal! Waiting a week more to see if Sohie AF is in 

foal, too.) 

Speaking of shipping, Meg is now “international”!!! He has three mares booked in Switzerland and a bank of 

straws is being stored there for future European use. 

Show season will begin in May. Joining the team is Shagya’s Serena AF. She will debut in June with training 

and first level dressage and sport horse under saddle. 

The youngsters, KB Sequoia Fahim, KB Sitka Fahim and KB Sawyer Fahim are all doing well. (See details in the 

Sales section.) Sequoia is nearly 16 hands as a two year old. I guess I named her aptly!! 

Barbara Abrams 

OLD LYME, CT 

Unfortunately, I have no great news to share about my horses. They’ve been primarily “lawn ornaments” for 

the past couple of years. 

Shagya Sundance AF (*Shandor/*Aminah by Koheilan I), aka “Nandor”, doesn’t get worked enough, though 

he is a good boy. We’ve been trying to find a job for my mare, Shagya’s SziSzi AF (*Shandor/*Shagya II-2 by 

Shagya II). I have considered trying to place her as a possible broodmare (NASS approved, but not foaled successfully 

yet). A friend who drives started to ground drive her last year, but hasn’t gotten very far although she 

seems to like it (she’s quite smart). So, SziSzi has been Nandor’s constant companion. 

In April, we sold our farm and have the two horses temporarily at a backyard rental with a caretaker. A safe 

place...but nowhere to ride. We are looking for another home for us all. 

I hope to have more pleasant news about my two before too long!

SHELLEY HOUSH | BLUE JAY, CA 

The exciting news is that Sterling Silver AF (*Shandor/Sapphire by 

*Oman) will have two foals born in Australia next year! Both Arab mares 

there have been confirmed in foal! 

Sterling Shagyas had one foal born this year - and I look forward to sharing 

more info about him in the newsletters once he is registered. More 

info can be found on my web site and on Facebook. 

Reveille SF (Sterling Silver/Rondine xx) has been sold. His proud owner 

is Dr. Renetta Hatcher. She is new to horse ownership and just fell in love 

the Shagya breed. She was amazed at how friendly they are compared 

to other horses she had been around. Reveille will be staying here in So 

Cal, so it will be nice to be able to see him grow up and mature.

Follow Hope (*Oman/Faith’s Fantasia 

ATA by Pregelstrand) and I just 

finished our first endurance ride 

of the season (Cache Creek, West 

division). It was 50 miles of lots of 

up and down with good footing. 

There was a scary river crossing 

that had a steep bank down into 

muddy water that she carefully 

and bravely traversed. We went 

barefoot without a problem. Her 

vet scores were mostly all A's and 

she had enough spunk left to 

take off galloping when I turned 

her loose after we got home! 

Lisa Fiano 

WILLINGTON, CT 

I don ‘t really have anything exciting 

to report. Szigfrid AF (*Shandor/Sapphire 

by *Oman), aka 

“Szig”, sustained an injury to 

the lateral collateral ligament of 

his coffin joint last fall and has 

been recovering since that time. 

We just started back under saddle 

and he is doing well. Here 

he is enjoying his down time! 

Follow Hope turned 8 this spring 

and is still maturing. We cross train 

with dressage and a little jumping. 

She really likes to jump! Out on 

the trail she boldly takes all obstacles. 

She would make a great 

3-day event horse but I'm isolated 

here in Fort Bragg and I am over 50! 

We plan on doing one ride a 

month and will do an xP ride in 

Bryce Canyon in September. The 

race is 50 miles a day for 5 days. I 

don't know if I can do all 5 days! 

Szigfried AF enjoys some R&R.

DORIS NEWTON | ST. IGNATIUS, MT 

We are busy gearing up for the local show circuit 

again this year. I showed my older Shagya mare, 

Sapphire (*Oman/*Szikra by Saphiro) last year along 

with a quarter horse mare. I did show my 6-yearold 

*Shandor gelding, Shandor’s Surya, or Sunny 

(*Shandor/Sapphire by *Oman) in the last show of 

the season, but have concentrated on his training all 

winter and spring. 

Sunny and I did a 3-month caveletti clinic once a 

week , which ended in March, working on Sunny’s 

suspension and extension. He is really coming 

along nicely as a dressage horse as we take weekly 

dressage lessons. 

My Janos mare, Carmen Daal, (Janos/Shandor’s Charisma 

by *Shandor) is 5 years old and recently had 

60 days training under saddle. She is a wonderful, 

intense mare, but is too much horse for me as I turn 

60 this year. So, she is for sale. 

The winter looks like it is finally subsiding in Montana, 

so I am looking forward to riding Sapphire and 

Sunny on the trails as well as showing this year.

ARLENE & FRANK MICHAUD | CULLEOKA, TN 

Wagons HO!!!! 

Finally, after endless planning, we are moving to Tennessee. 

Culleoka is a small town about 40 miles south of Nashville and 

just west of Shelbyville. We were very fortunate that our farm 

was not touched by the recent flooding in the Nashville area. 

Thirteen horses will be making the move. The first seven will 

leave around May 28. The remainding six will go on the flip-flop turn-around. A caravan indeed! Horse trailers, 

U-haul trucks, a load of horse panels and gates etc. and of course our eight doggies. 

I think this is going to be another chapter in the proverbial book when this move is over. I will have pictures 

to share in the next newsletter. Hopefully, we should have things organized by mid-June. We will have our 

website updated ASAP with new contact info etc. www.tanglewoodshagyafarms.com. Enjoy your summer.

JAMIE BUCK | OxFORD, GA 

MJL Shagala (*Shandor/MJL Jasmine), Nina AF (Janos/*Niobe by 

Balaton) and Felicity(*Oman/May Folly ox by *Fol Yasmeen) have 

settled into their new home very nicely. It has been a real pleasure 

to look out of our windows into the pasture and see them 

all grazing happily. We have plans to build a new barn before 

this winter providing too many other projects do not take precedence. 

It has been a lot of fun since I would rather shovel horse 

manure and work in the garden than cook or clean house! Nothing 

like manure management. Did I hear – going green? 

This past May, Monique Vincent was in Atlanta and delighted once 

again to have her company at the Two Bucks Bed & Breakfast. Monique offered to work Shagala and Nina 

and show me a few pointers, which I enjoyed. If all goes well I have plans to start some endurance rides the 

start of the 2011 season with Shagala providing I do what is needed for us to be ready. I am hoping Nina will 

follow providing my young rider is also ready. It’s a slow start…but a start in the right direction for us. 

No foals this year but plans for two next season are on the front burner… Life is good!

Hope Phelon 

NEWCASTLE, WY 

Thank you so much to Elaine and all the NASS folks that make the 

NASS Performance Awards possible. We had some wild weather 

all spring, with wind and snow squalls, sleet, hail, you name it. Last 

Sunday we finally had the first in nice day in months but it was still 

a little windy/stormy. I hopped on “Shanny” (Shannon AF: *Shandor/Lillian). 

He was really fresh and I wound up back in the dirt! 

I was hoping to start some eventing this season but wasn’t able to 

get many lessons in due to weather. If I can do some financial juggling, 

I’ll have my trainer, Craig Heckert, take Shannon to Powder 

Basin in Gillette. It’s a two-day event that is only about six weeks 

away and my ribs need to knit before I can get back on. I’m hoping 

to do one later this summer or Windy Wyoming in Laramie in 

September. Wish us luck. Thanks , I hope all the horses and Shagya 

people are well have a good season.

OLYMPIA, WA 

This has been a busy spring. Besides 

continuing ground training 

for our 2- and 3- year old boys (Rising 

Star and Rhuidean), we had 

some equine guests arrive in April. 

Bridget (Almos/Bravita AF by H. 

Bravo) is a 10-year-old Shagya 

mare owned by Cindy Smith who 

lives in Saudi Arabia. Bridget 

stayed a week before traveling to 

Indiana to stay with Gwyn Davis 

until Cindy returns to the 

U.S. She is a tall, and gentle 

mare who loves to be 

groomed. 

Our flashier guest is Almos 

(*Shandor/*Arriva by 

Bajar), Cindy’s 19-year-old 

stallion. As I understand 

it , Almos has made an 

important contribution to 

the Shagya gene pool. Almos 

is here while Cindy locates 

a longer term placement 

for him. 

Although he is a stallion, 

Almos has been very easy. 

He is basically quiet and gentle, 

and likes people. Within a couple 

of days he was nickering to us 

when we brought his hay and is 

easy to work around. He was on 

the thin side when he arrived but 

not too bad. He likes to walk a lot 

so putting weight on will be a little 

slower than I would like; but he has 

a very good appetite. The vet gave 


him a thorough inspection and all 

is well. Adele Furby stopped by 

shortly after Almos came to our 

farm. She and Charlie were attending 

a wedding in Seattle. She had 

bred Almos and had stories to tell 

about his birth and early days. She 

also owns Rising Star’s sire, Starwalker 

and had produced his dam 

Ramona AF. So, the horses at my 

farm definitely have connections 

to her breeding program. 

Almos - happy in his new foster home. 

We had a good visit. She told me, 

“Keep the stallion and the other 

horses separate.” Good advice, 

Adele. We have had to make some 

adjustments such as keeping our 

intact colt and mares out of adjacent 

pastures. It has been interesting 

to see what gets a stallion’s attention 

and what doesn’t. 

Dear friends and fellow 

Shagya enthusiasts, 

I need to find a home for my 

stallion, Almos. He is an older 

stallion by *Shandor out of 

*Arriva by Bajar. He is currently 

staying with Patty Betts in 

Olympia, WA, but Patty does 

not have the facilities to continue 

caring for him. 

Almos carries valuable 

bloodlines and 

produces classic 

Shagya offspring. I 

have not handled 

him for a long 

while, but I used to 

hand breed him all 

by myself and he 

was great to work 

with. Due to complications 

at birth, 

Almos is not trianed 

for or suitable 

for riding. 

If you are interested in adopting 

Almos please contact me. 

I am in Saudi Arabia so e-mail 

is the best way.

SISTERS, OR 

I recently competed in two dressage shows at Devonwood Equestrian 

Center with my horse Silver Bells. We competed in Training level tests 

3 and 4 during the two days of each show. Out of the eight classes I 

came away with six first places, one second and one third. My highest 

score was a 71.6%! This was test 4. I am so proud of my boy! 

I have qualified for regionals and the ODS championships in Training 

level and I hope soon to move up to 1st level also and qualify there 

as well.

Rebecca Blair 

LOUISVILLE, KY 

Shagya’s Sarabande AF (*Shandor/ 

*Shagya II-2 by Saphir [Shagya II], 

Balbona), aka “Sara”, has been such 

a joy since Adele Furby sold her to 

me in September of last year. She 

spent her winter as “queen” of the 

pasture and learning what life was 

like as a working horse. 

Sara learned to lunge first in a halter, 

then surcingle, and finally fully 

tacked. She was very accepting of 

a snaffle and easy to work around 

on the cross ties. Our trainer, who 

specializes in classical dressage, 

just loves Sara and intends to use 

her in her video teaching series. 

She thinks Sara is a rare combination 

of brains and beauty. That’s a 

Shagya! 

In March, we took Sara to her first 

show. She won both Sporthorse 

In-hand and Shagya In-hand. She 

had many admirers and we enjoyed 

the opportunity to share the 

breed. The judge even asked me if 

I was looking to sell her! 

igive.com 



She handled 

her first show 

beautifully, 

curious and 

watchful but 

easy to handle. 

A few weeks 

later, my 

trainer and I 

backed Sara 

for the first 

time. At almost 

16.1, 

I was far 

away from the ground! Sara 

never worried us, though. 

She was as calm as ever and our 

trainer walked us around without 

incident. She responded to simply 

thigh pressure and halted at my inhale 

-- such a smart girl! 

Not two days after this milestone, 

Sara became sick. The vet confirmed 

strangles. Bless her heart, 

Sara was an angel through the 

Rebecca Blair and Shagya’s Sarabande AF 

needles and pastes as her fifth 

birthday came. Seven weeks of 

stall rest have elapsed. She handled 

her illness with grace and is 

very happy to be able to stretch 

her legs. This past week marks her 

first back in work and she has been 

a very happy girl. We look forward 

to being mounted again soon and 

more shows as the summer season 

stretches before us.

Shagyas in the Show Ring 

BY JOAN CLARK AND ELAINE KERRIGAN 

The Pacific Coast Arabian Sport 

Horse Classic at the Starr-Vaughn 

Equestrian Center in Sloughhouse, 

CA, near Sacramento, was held 

June 4-6, 2010. This is one of our 

favorite Arabian shows since it 

includes In-Hand, Dressage and 

Sport Horse Under Saddle classes 

specifically for Shagyas. The show 

management always does a fabulous 

job. The beautiful facility is 

very comfortable for horses and 

riders. 

We had a large contingent of 

horses between the three owners. 

Elaine Kerrigan took KB Omega 

Fahim+++//, aka “Meg”, (ridden 

by Chelsey Sibley) and Shagya’s 

Serena AF, aka “Serena”, (ridden 

by Elaine). Joan Clark showed KB 

Shakami Fahim, aka “Shaka”. Chris 

Bailey took KB Jull Fahim+/, aka 

“Jull” (ridden by Chelsey Sibley) 

and KB Kalilla Fahim, aka “Kali” (ridden 

by Elaine). Serena and Shaka 

were our two purebred Shagya- 

Arabians. Meg is a purebred Arabian 

stallion that is approved for 

Shagya-Arabian breeding. Jull, 

Kali and Shaka are half-Arabians 

sired by Meg. Confusing, but that 

sets the stage. 

On Friday the fourth, Meg, Shaka 

and Kali showed In-Hand. Meg 

won two championships: open 

division with Elaine and amateur 

division with Joan. Shaka was 


champion with Joan and Kali was 

reserve champion with Elaine. Additionally, 

Kali, Serena and Shaka 

all showed in various Sport Horse 

Under Saddle classes. In the Shagya 

Under Saddle class, Shaka was 

awarded first place and Serena 

earned second place. 

Saturday the fifth marked the first 

dressage day. Meg won his FEI Intermediate 

II test. Jull won her FEI 

Prix St. Georges test. Shaka and 

Serena showed in training level for 

Shagyas, with the winning score 

belonging to Shaka and second 

place going to Serena. Serena also 

showed in two first-level tests for 

Shagyas and earned blue ribbons 

for each. Shaka also showed two 

training-level tests in the half- 

Arabian division. She took second 

and third place, respectively. Kali 

took home the blue for training 

level, test four and earned second 

place in first level, test four. 

Sunday the sixth was the last day 

of the busy show. Meg won in his 

first FEI Grand Prix test. Jull barely 

missed a first place in her FEI 

Intermediate I test. Shaka competed 

in two half-Arabian training 

level tests and earned second and 

fourth place, respectively. Kali had 

a repeat performance of Saturday: 

first place in training level, test four 

and second place in first level, test 

four. Lucky Serena had the day off.

Shagyas in the Show Ring (continued) 

BY JOAN CLARK AND ELAINE KERRIGAN 

It was sweltering hot for us north coast folks, but that didn’t 

dampen our spirits. We always have a great time, the three 

of us. We have a lot of fun laughing and joking around at the 

shows. It’s a lot of hard work, but we all chip in and “get ‘er 

done.” The camaraderie of our group is what makes showing 

so rewarding! Our Shagyas have the natural physical talent that 

everyone dreams of cultivating in their horses. These amazing 

horses have the most wonderful gaits with elastic impulsion 

and perfect tempo. The world of large and busy shows 

is new to Shaka and Serena. Shaka is only 5 years old and Serena 

has just started showing. They both proved what sensible 

and steady dispositions the Shagya horses possess. The judges 

were very impressed with our Shagyas, and so were we!
