Thank you to all our Charter Members and Members for joining the Alliance and helping to build a 

unique organization to serve the “big tent” of the Arabian sport horse community. The Board of Directors 

are deeply honored by and grateful for your support of the organization. The Alliance brings together people 

from a number of registries and all the sport horse disciplines. While the needs and concerns of a member 

new to the sport horse disciplines may differ from those of a member who has been breeding and competing 

Arabian-bred horses at upper levels for decades, we all share is a deep appreciation for the qualities offered 

by Arabian bred sport horses and a desire to connect with others who share that passion.

2016 ASHA Lifetime Achievement Honoree 

Carol DiMaggio 

3 

Carol Di Maggio grew up in the small town of Occidental, 

California and to this day she describes the day when 

she was 10 years old and was given her first horse as the 

happiest day in her life. The mare was a grade pinto she 

named Comanche. She was often seen riding her mare 

bareback around the small town. Many years later she was 

hired by World Airways as a flight attendant and moved 

to Walnut Creek, California, where she bought a house 

and a horse in the same week. He was her first purebred, 

a chestnut gelding named Bright Future (*Bright Diamond 

x Rabdana), purchased with a friend in 1977. In 1985 another 

gelding, Indybu, joined her small stable. 

Although she had horses of indeterminate breeding 

into her teens, Carol read the iconic books “King of the 

Wind” by Marguerite Henry and the Black Stallion series 

by Walter Farley and dreamed of one day owning a 

purebred Arabian horse. Carol has always been a woman 

who pursued her dreams until they became reality. Two 

years later she kick-started her breeding program with the 

purchase of foundation mare Seranado as a three-in-one 

package. Seranado was a champion show horse known 

for bridle-less stock horse exhibitions ridden by Bubbles 

Hiller, and she was already a proven broodmare. From the 

beginning, Carol concentrated on what some called “old 

fashioned Arabians” with a high percentage of Crabbet 

breeding. She said, “I really didn’t have any specific goals; 

those came later.” 

Ta’ez+// was Seranado’s first foal bred by Carol and 

sired by international champion *Ralvon Elijah. Carol hired 

dressage and event trainers Jane Mendelsohn and Teresa 

Trull, who felt that Ta’ez with his 3 very good gaits had the 

potential to be a very good dressage horse, and so began 

his training. Carol had met and become very good friends 

with Kat Walden who was the West Coast representative 

for the Arabian Sport Horse Association, Inc. ASHAI was 

one of the first organizations to support and present national 

awards to Arabians 

in sport. 

Jane showed Teddy 

to Third Level before 

moving to Florida. 

Carol has been quoted as saying, “When he won the 

1997 USDF Musical Freestyle Championship at First Level, 

I thought that would be his crowning glory.” Of course, 

Chelsey Sibley, who trained and showed Teddy from Third 

Level to Grand Prix, was still in the future. Ultimately, Teddy 

and Chelsey won the Arabian Horse Association U.S. National 

Champion Grand Prix title, earning other F.E.I. level 

national championships on the way up. 

From the beginning, Carol hired the best trainers available 

for the disciplines in which her horses would be competing, 

which took great perseverance and persuasion, as 

the trainers she wanted did not usually want to train Arabians. 

She had to endure quite a bit of criticism from other 

Arabian horse owners for “stacking the deck” in favor of 

her horses by using well-known dressage trainers such as 

Creeky Routson, Elizabeth Britten Hendrix and Chelsey 

Sibley at Arabian shows. 

Carol always took her Arabians to USDF open dressage 

shows, but she believed that they should compete at Arabian 

shows, too, so that others would be inspired to try

sport horse disciplines. Because few Arabian horse shows 

in the early 1990’s offered sport horse divisions, Carol organized 

the Dressage divisions for her club for at least two 

years in order to get them included in the annual show. 

She joined the California-Nevada Arabian Sport Horse Association, 

the first AHA associate club to specialize in sport 

horses and served on the board for seven years, four of 

those as vice president. As Teddy moved up the levels and 

was ready for F.E.I., she “had to fight with the AHA Sporthorse 

officials to hire a technical delegate to the shows. 

They said they wouldn’t hire a T.D. just for my horse, but I 

said if you don’t build it, they won’t come.” 

While Teddy was growing up, Carol acquired a U.S. Top 

Ten Halter stallion, Redwinds Chaparral++, finished his 

Legion of Merit in Country English Pleasure, and then exhibited 

him successfully in dressage to regional level with 

Creeky Routson and Heidi Riddle. Bred to carefully selected 

mares, he became a sire of outstanding endurance 

horses in a limited career at stud. 

When he matured, Teddy was bred to some of the 

same mares but also to mares selected specifically for 

him. Out of Teddy’s 22 offspring (one gelding from an outside 

breeding was never registered), three earned Legion 

of Merit in sport horse disciplines, and one earned a U.S. 

National Championship at First Level. Two sisters out of a 

¾ Trakehner mare are in the main mare book of the Oldenburg 

Horse Breeders Society, a division of the German 

Oldenburg Verband. Teddy offspring bred by Carol have 

shown successfully in-hand, in dressage, over fences and 

in endurance (1920 miles). One is an amateur owned-andridden 

lower level event horse and field hunter. At least 

three offspring were trained to harness. 

Through diligent efforts, Carol had Teddy approved for 

breeding by the American Warmblood Society, ISR/Oldenburg 

N.A., the American Trakehner Association and the 

German Oldenburg Verband through his scores from open 

dressage up to PSG. Scores and videos were sent to Germany, 

then the exciting news arrived that the breeding commission 

had decided to accept his offspring out of warm- 

4

lood mares only since he stands just 14.3 hands. He was 

the first purebred Arabian in the USA to be accepted. One 

son is double-registered Half-Arabian and ISR/ Oldenburg. 

Four Teddy grandget have been registered by the OHBS. 

Although in recent years, Carol has retired from active 

Arabian breeding to concentrate on her very successful 

Oldenburg breeding program, she still competes the two 

youngest Teddy sons, both stallions. The purebred, Tarim 

TZ, shown lightly by a teen-aged girl, has regional honors 

in Dressage and a California Dressage Championship JTR. 

Tzar TZ++, the Arab-Oldenburg, has several regional honors 

for Hunter Hack Jr. Horse, Low Jumper, In-Hand, Sport 

Horse under Saddle Jr. Horse and Dressage. He also competed 

successfully at Beginner Novice Eventing. Carol continues 

to pursue the goal of infusing additional Arabian 

blood into the Oldenburg breed. Although GOV registry 

officials were initially skeptical, they have come to respect 

her commitment and understand that she plans generations 

into the future.

2016 ASHA Horse of the Year 

FCF Oberons Vanity 

FCF Oberons Vanity (AF Vanitys Repeat x 

BruMarBa Callisto), a 2006 CMK Arabian 

stallion, owned and bred by Dawn Jones-Low of 

Faerie Court Farm made history at the North 

American 70 day Stallion Performance Test by 

earning the highest score and highest placing of 

any Arabian (or Arabianbred) 

to have ever been 

presented at the NA 70 

day SPT. He was the first 

Arabian to score over 

100 points with 103.75 

points placing him 5th 

overall out of a field of 

fourteen stallions. 

The 70 day SPT has been 

used in Europe and in 

North America as a rigorous standardized 

evaluation of the athletic ability of stallions to 

assess potential for elite performance. Twentyfour 

individual categories are scored on a 10 

point scale in line with the scoring scale in 

dressage tests and at studbook inspections. 

Stallions are 

evaluated over 

the course of the 

65 day intensive 

training period for both “exterior qualities” 

(athletic ability and physical qualities) and 

“interior qualities” 

(aspects of disposition 

and trainability) by the 

training director and 

then scored again by a 

guest judge for the final 

5 day testing phase. 

Many of the stallions in 

the testing cohort were 

sired by international 

competitors including at 

least one sired by an Olympic gold medal 

winner in show jumping. (Notably, FCF Oberons 

Vanity scored higher in the jumping than the 

stallion with the Olympic sire!) 

Owner Dawn Jones-Low reports that “Thom 

and I were understandably very nervous about 

how Obie would measure up as the only non- 

Warmblood in the group. We were able to relax 

a little when we got a report after the first day 

that the training director cracked a big smile 

when he saw FCF Oberons Vanity being 

warmed-up on the lunge-line. 

Obie quickly developed a fan club and was 

cheered on by many of the other stallion 

7

owners because they were so pleased to see 

such an athletic, sound, sane Arabian holding 

his own against top notch warmblood stallions. 

During the final testing days one observer 

commented, ‘Extraordinary stallion with a big 

future ahead of him.’" 

The training director awarded FCF Oberons 

Vanity excellent scores including a 10 for 

Character, 9s for Willingness and Rideability, 

9.5 for Constitution, 8 for Trot, 8.5 for Cross 

Country Gallop, and 8.5 for Cross Country 

Jumping Technique. 

he competed at 2nd 

level with his trainer, 

Catherine Waterman, 

he won one of his 

classes and was high 

score at 2nd level ! 

He is now solid at 3rd 

level and will 

compete with his 

trainer at that level 

this season with a 

goal of competing at USDF Region 8 finals in the 

open 3rd level division. 

What a wonderful breed ambassador and 

perfect choice as our Horse of the Year! 

2017 Honorees: 

FCF Oberons Vanity has been approved for 

Studbook I in the highly respected Westfalen- 

NA registry and is also approved for Shagya- 

Arabian breeding by the North American 

Shagya-Arabian Society. At his NASS 

inspection, the judges were impressed by his 

kind temperament, correct structure, and the 

quality of his gaits and jumping ability. They 

were *really* excited about his canter which 

they awarded with a score of 9! 

In 2017 Obie was shown in USDF shows with 

the talented young rider, Emma Burnham, to 

help showcase his rideability. The pair earned 

good scores and placed well in a highly 

competitive region. At the single show where

2016 ASHA Hall of Fame Honoree 

Vicky Rich 

Vicky Rich (born Victoria Ann Thenhause), began riding 

at the age of 12. For Vicky, it was an instant addiction. Being 

raised in Beverly Hills, CA, it was naturally horses she 

was connected to. 

She began riding dressage in the 1970s. In the early 

1980s she fell in love with her first Arabian, a gelding 

named Luke, sold to her by Louise Koch who was an international 

dressage rider. From then on, Vicky was an advocate 

and supporter of the Arabian breed, fighting tirelessly 

for the talent of the Arabian breed to be recognized in the 

Sport Horse world. She rode, rescued, trained, and bred 

Arabians. Beginning in 2007, she and her daughter owned 

She initiated a regional award program for the high scoring 

purebred and high scoring Half-Arabian/Anglo-Arabian at 

open dressage shows in southern California. Vicky also actively 

served on various committees at AHA, and as President 

of the Conejo Valley Arabian Horse Association. 

In 1989 and 1993, Vicky and her Arabian gelding, Bilcos 

HiPocket, went Top Ten at US Nationals in 2nd Level and 

3rd Level Dressage respectively. 

Vicky, with an equal passion for Arabians and dressage, 

worked diligently with others to create the Sport Horse 

National Championship Show. She volunteered for several 

years at the show before being nominated to serve as a 

Show Commissioner in 2007, a job she held until her death 

in 2016. 

and operated a riding school using three family owned 

Arabians as lesson mounts, introducing countless people 

not just to horses, but specifically to the Arabian horse. 

Vicky soon became involved with IAHA, now AHA, in 

Region 2 starting in the 1980s. She would attend the AHA 

National Convention as a delegate nearly every year for 

the rest of her life. Vicky eventually served on the board 

in every role including two terms as Director of Region 2.

“I believe sport horse is the future of the Arabian breed 

and that it is especially important to ‘do it right.’ I know I 

have made a difference and want to continue doing so,” 

she said upon having her position as a Commissioner renewed. 

Vicky would not only see her dream of Sport Horse Nationals 

come to fruition, but while serving as the Carriage 

Driving Division Commissioner, entries increased each 

year and the number of classes successfully grew from five 

to eight. She also initiated the TAIL program at the show 

and the popular daily amateur drawing. 

Carriage Driving exhibitor Wendy Gruskiewicz says, 

“Vicky was so incredibly helpful to carriage drivers each 

year. In 2015, she personally called most of us to work out 

a tight schedule. At 2017 SHN, she was gone, but not forgotten. 

I was so fortunate to win the Vicky Rich Memorial 

Award with my driving horse Riften++++//. I will treasure 

this award and use it as inspiration moving forward.” 

Region 2 friend and fellow competitor Dorann LaPerch 

remembers, “Vicky worked tirelessly for the Arabian Sport 

Horse, even before there was a Sport Horse division. She 

was the driving force for keeping the East/West rotation 

when talk was to keep it in the East forever. Here in Region 

2 there was not a show that held Dressage or Sport Horse 

where Vicky was not there helping. She was the scribe in 

the in hand ring as well as the dressage ring. I will never 

forget our Region 2 Sport Horse show in 2008 when temperatures 

were over 106° and Vicky drove around with ice 

water for the exhibitors. 

“Vicky was the heart and soul of the Arabian Sport 

Horse and was instrumental in bringing our division to 

where it is today. She is truly missed.”

Sport Registry Inspections are held for mares and stallions to 

consider them for breeding approval according to the particular 

registry’s standards. Some registries also inspect foals as part 

of the registration process. A few sport registries will also do 

non-breeding evaluations for geldings and performance mares 

to provide a standardized assessment of conformation, 

movement, interior qualities, and performance potential.

Anglo 

Arabians 

An Anglo Arabian is a horse consisting of any actual creation of the Anglo Arabian breed. He bred the 

combination of Arabian and Thoroughbred bay Arab stallion Massoud to two English Thoroughbred 

lineage, with no more than 75% nor less than mares, Selim Mare and Deer, both of whom were imported 

25% Arabian blood, with no other blood permitted. The 

Anglo Arabian has the third oldest studbook in France and 

is the third oldest breed in the world. 

These horses were first bred in France in the 1836 under 

to France in 1820. De Bonneval also crossbred in the opposite 

direction – having bred the Arab mare Nichab to English 

sires, but the results were not as good. 

In 1833, an ordinance by Louis Phillipe created the 

the control of the French 

French Studbook where 

National Stud Service. English 

Thoroughbred mares, first imported 

to France in the mid- 

18th century, were crossed 

with Arabians left in that 

country after the defeat of the 

Moslems. 

Breeders from Normandy 

created the Anglo Arabian as 

early as 1750, although they 

didn’t use these cross-breedings 

as a breed unto itself. At 

Duc des Deux Ponts (now called la Sarre), mares were bred 

to Arabian and Turkish stallions to start a family and then 

a specific breed. Although the success of these breedings 

was apparent by 1775, it was still done on a limited basis. 

During the Revolution and the Empire, British sires 

were not able to be imported, but Napoleon returned from 

his Egyptian campaign with a liking for Arabians, several of 

which he brought back with him to the Pompadour stud. 

In 1833, at Le Pin studfarm, M. de Bonneval began the 

the English, Arab and Anglo 

Arab horses could be found. 

When, in 1840, M. Gayot 

was made manager of Le 

Pin Stud, his goal was to establish 

a “French Thoroughbred” 

family, chosen from 

English and Arab stallions. 

When he was made manager 

of Pompadour in 1843, he 

took his “family” with him. 

Thus the Anglo Arabian 

breed was born. It took several years for it to become established, 

but its importance became apparent among the 

famous French breeds of “Selle” horses. (The breed “Selle 

Français” began as an Anglo Arabian genetically.) 

By 1850, Anglo Arabian stallions were used for both 

pure and cross-breeding, and by 1860, race competitions 

exclusively for Anglo Arabians were popular. This helped 

mold the breed since the race winners were often the favorite 

sires, even for those not breeding for the track. 

13

In 1880, the Anglo Arabian breed requirements were 

formally established. To be called Anglo Arabian Thoroughbred, 

the horse only needed 25% Arab blood. In 

racing, they differentiated between 25% and 50% Arab 

horses. (Later, they added the Anglo Arabian Complement 

book, which could go down as far as 12.5% Arabian blood.) 

Finally, in 1890, the Anglo Arabian breed was included 

in a special part of the French Stud Book, as well as the English 

Thoroughbred and the 

Arabian Thoroughbred. 

In the U.S., they are 

registerable with the Anglo-Arabian 

Horse Registry 

of the Arabian Horse 

Association (AHA) and are 

then eligible for participation 

in all AHA shows and 

programs, including Futurities 

and Sweepstakes. 

They are unique in the 

AHA registry as the only part-Arabian that doesn’t require 

at least one purebred Arabian parent to be registered. Anglo 

Arabians can be crossed with another Anglo, with a 

Thoroughbred, or with an Arabian to produce the desired 

traits of each breed, as long as the 75/25 guidelines are 

followed. 

The Arabian crosses so well with the Thoroughbred because 

they actually come from the same genetic pool – 

the three original foundation Thoroughbreds were of 

Oriental blood. 

The French have crossed Anglos back and forth generation 

after generation, producing the consistency of the 

breed’s characteristics. In North America, the majority of 

Anglos are first generation crosses, as most people don’t 

even consider the option of breeding Anglo to Anglo. 

Today’s modern German warmblood breeds are indebted 

to several key Anglo-Arabians, such as Matcho, 

Inschallah, and Ramzes (go to page 55 for more on Ramzes), for 

their contribution of refinement and athletic abilities, 

and are hardly conceivable without 

the influence of these sires. 

The characteristics of the 

Anglo Arabian made it the European 

epitome of a war horse – 

dexterity, strength and endurance. 

Calvary horses became 

outdated after World War I, 

but with the advent of military 

equestrian sports in the 1920’s, 

and Anglos winning in all disciplines 

at all levels, their popularity soared. 

Anglo-Arabian Linon won the silver medal for 

France in dressage at both the 1928 and 1932 Olympic 

Games. Harpagon won the silver medal in dressage at 

the 1948 Olympics and the bronze medal in 1952. 

Aiglonne (above) won the gold medal in three day 

eventing in 1948. Ali Baba won the 1952 gold medal in 

show jumping. Artemor won the gold in showjumping 

and team silver for Poland in the 1980 Olympics. Morgat 

AC won a team jumping bronze

medal in 1988. More recently, Tamarillo earned a team silver 

medal in eventing for Britain in 2004. 

Anglo Arabians are still valued today for their incredible 

athletic abilities, as seen by their successes at the highest 

level of international competition. There are numerous 

Anglos throughout the world competing at the European 

Championships, World Equestrian Games, Pan Am Games, 

and the 4* events. In the World Breeding Federation for 

Sport Horses (WBFSH), the Anglo Arabian is consistently 

listed in the top ten of their studbook ranking for eventing, 

the most demanding of Olympic equestrian sports. 

O’Connor in 1989. Lendon Gray campaigned Kitwell Consul++, 

who earned 14 USDF All Breed Awards, competed 

up to Grand Prix Level and won at the 1991 Olympic Selection 

Trials. 

Beverly Gray competed her Anglo gelding AA Omner 

in endurance, logging 9,000 total miles. They earned 18 

Best Condition awards and were in the Top Ten 98% of the 

time. Omner was named Endurance Horse of the Millenium 

by the AERC, and even had a Breyer model horse made of 

him. Before he passed away in 2005, Omner was a therapeutic 

riding horse for children. 

The Anglo-Arabian in America is fairly young. Full-scale 

breeding began here during World War II when purebred Endurance rider Matthew Mackay-Smith rode his Anglo 

Arabians from Poland and Germany were placed under gelding, WC Freiheit, to 1450 lifetime miles, including 2 

the protection of the U.S. Army at Poland’s request. They Best Condition awards; and winning both Old Dominion 

were brought to America as cavalry horses and registered 100 and Tevis 100. 

with the U.S. Army Remount’s Half-Bred Stud Book. The Shalom Mishkoh+//, pictured below, was a very athletic 

Remount Service loaned Arabian stallions out to breeding 

farms, suggesting a cross with Thoroughbreds in order to 

produce a large cavalry horse. The AHA purchased both the 

Half-Arabian and Anglo-Arabian Horse Registries in 1951 

when the U.S. Remount Service was discontinued. 

AHA registration requirements were recently amended 

to allow for importation of semen from Anglo and Thoroughbred 

stallions from recognized foreign source registries, 

as well as in-utero importations. 

In the United States, although not nearly as popular as 

in Europe, Anglo-Arabians have made their mark too. The 

French-bred *Nos Ecus was named the 1989 The Chronicle 

of the Horse Event Horse of the Year and won the inaugural 

CCI*** International 3-day event at Fair Hill with Karen 

15

Anglo gelding by the straight Egyptian stallion Serenity 

Osiris (*Khofo x Serenity Bint Nadia) and out of a stakeswinning 

Thoroughbred mare, Echo Princess. 

In open competition, he won countless titles, moving 

from dressage Level I in 1985 to Intermediaire Level I (the 

next level above Prix St. Georges) by 1991. Mishkoh was 

the Canadian National Dressage Champion over 40 Warmbloods. 

He took home blues in open competition at shows 

ranging from Bloomfield to Devon to Detroit. Several times, 

he won the Tournament of Champions in Canada. 

In Arabian competition, Mishkoh won eight National 

Championships, two Reserves, and 12 Top Tens. He has 17 

Regional Championships, one Regional Reserve, and 19 

Top Five awards. The gelding received the IAHA’s Legion 

of Supreme Excellence Award in June, 1994, at the 14th 

Annual Egyptian Event. 

Pennsylvania National, the $25K Open Jumper Challenge 

and $50K Grand Prix at HITS on the Hudson, and the $75K 

Budweiser World Cup of Syracuse. She was later exported 

to compete on the Swedish team. 

In the past few years, Anglos have made their way to 

some elite riders’ barns. Michael Jung (World, European 

& Olympic Champion) has had great success at 3* level 

in eventing with Fischertakinou. France’s Tom Carlile has 

three Anglos that he competes at 2* and 3*, as does Spain’s 

Alberto Hermano Farras. 

Olivier Robert has won a series of indoor eventing derbies 

in Europe on his Anglo Looping De Buissy. He also 

competes in Grand Prix jumping with Quenelle du Py, earning 

over €360,000. Ireland’s Cian O’Connor was competeing 

on the Polish-bred stallion Diokles in the grand prix 

jumpers. 

In California, Misti Cassar and Poeme d’Amour gained 

attention by winning Grand Prix classes at Sacramento and 

LA International, creating quite a fan club. Lauren Kieffer 

has the full brother to her wonderful Anglo Snooze Alarm, 

Vermiculus, in her barn. Together they qualified for the Pan 

Am Games, and competed at Kentucky Rolex and Boekelo 

4* international events. Lauren considers Vermiculus one 

of the bravest horses she’s ever ridden and has big plans 

for him.

The 2002 USEA Mare of the Year was Canadians Bruce 

Mandeville and Nicole Shinton’s French Anglo mare Rose 

Tremiére, who was also short-listed for the Canadian Olympic 

event team in 2003 after her first year of competing on 

this continent. She is by Tango de Brejoux, sire of Nos Ecus. 

Fanny De La Tour, an Anglo mare ridden by American 

Daviid Raposa, was highly ranked in the FEI Jumper standings 

worldwide. This pair won the $65K Grand Prix of

Western Dressage. It’s you, your horse and the judge. When it all comes together it is 

really beautiful. 


Goofing around at the barn one day, my trainer Annie and I riding my pattern double on 

Dude. 


They can and will do anything. They look really good doing it as well! 

If you had the chance to ride any horse in the world, who would it be and why? 

Secretariat. I think it would be fun go that fast and feel the power of a racing legend. 


Winning a Top 5 at the Scottsdale Show in an Open Western Dressage Intro class. The show was outside, and the 

weather was raining and cold, I could barely feel my hands. It was my highest score to that point. 


To win a Championship at Scottsdale in Level 1 Western Dressage. Hopefully it will be sunny!

Madison Dwyer 

Gibson, NC 

What is the name, age, gender, & breed of your Arabian-bred sport horse? 

Mercury Rising KE +++// is a 7-year-old Half Arabian/Half Dutch Harness Horse gelding 


Dressage is my favorite equestrian sport because of the benefits it has on horses. It 

makes them engage their minds and bodies in a whole different way, even for the 

riders. It makes me want to learn more and better myself and my horse to be able to 

move up the levels together. 


My favorite memory would be my first unanimous National Championship that I earned 

at AHA Youth Nationals in 2015 with my heart horse, Mercury, that I trained myself. 



Arabians are such passionate horses. Once you get an Arabian horse on your side, they will do anything for the person 

they love. That's what I love so much about them. 


It would probably be Valegro. He's such a phenomenal Dressage horse. 


My greatest achievement would be 2017 3x Reserve National Champion in First Level ATR, Second Level ATR, and 

Show Hack Open at AHA Sport Horse Nationals. As a Junior rider and training Mercury myself with help from Kelly Bauer, 

achieving this against amateurs and professionals makes the winning that much sweeter. 


I plan on achieving my USDF Bronze and Silver medal with Mercury. 

Florence Kistner

What is the name, age, gender, & breed of your Arabian-bred sport horse? 

Charisma Devina, 9-year-old Arabian mare 


Dressage. I haven’t really tried any others. 


The time I got to ride the Prix St. Georges Arabian stallion Elision, bred by my 

horse’s breeder. 


They are so sensitive and personable.

If you had the chance to ride any horse in the world, who would it be and 

why? 

I’m happy riding my own horse!!

Raindrops on Roses HL,(Rosie) 8-year-old, mare 


Hunters (hunter over fences) 


Winning a national championship at my first youth 

Nationals in half Arab sport horse under saddle in 2015 ! 

It was very exciting. And taking Rosie to USEF Pony 

Finals in 2016! 

What do you think makes Arabian bred sport horses 

special? 

They are intelligent, sweet, smart and built to last.

horse?

Endurance. It is the most fun you can have with your horse. I don't enjoy arena 

riding. 


Camping and riding all day. 


They excel at endurance and are so versatile. 

If you had the chance to ride any horse in the world, who would it be and 

why? 

My horse is my favorite. We have shared hundreds of miles together. There is no 

better horse to me.

Lauren Meyers 

Chesapeake, VA 




C.A. Khaptivating, 23-year-old Arabian gelding 


My favorite equestrian sport is eventing because of the bond 

you must create with your horse and the thrill of cross 

country. 


My favorite memory is placing 22nd out of 37 at the 

American Eventing Championships and receiving the 

Captain Mark Phillips Pony Rider Award with Leonard, or CA 

Khaptivating. Leonard was also the oldest horse competing 

at AEC's which just shows how special Arabians are. 


Arabians are so special because of their endurance and longevity. Leonard is 23 right now and still competes at the 

beginner novice level 


I would want to ride Veronica ridden by Lauren Kieffer. I love that horse’s jumping style and she makes everything look 

easy. 


My greatest achievement is my AEC's experience in 2017 and receiving the Captain Mark Phillips Pony Rider Award. 

Claire Nickelson

Uwannabeme WH 12 year-old Half-Arabian Half-KWPN

My favorite sport is definitely dressage because one can 

always improve and there is always a challenge. 


My favorite memory is winning my first National

Championship on my heart horse Tagg Yorr It. Tagg is not longer with us and I miss him everyday. 


I think it’s the bond they are willing to make with us and the genuine kindness in their hearts. 


My greatest achievement is winning the 3rd Level Amateur championship at Sport Horse Nationals with a score of 73%. 


My biggest goal is to participate in the NAJYRC with my Arabian bred horse Uwannabeme WH- aka Slim.

Kobe Anne Pielow 

Coatesville, PA 



AAA Legend ofthe Seas+, 15 year-old Crabbet Arabian 

gelding 


My favorite equestrian sport is hunter/jumper because 

jumping is Legend's most favorite thing to do and it is fun. 


The time I spent at the Grier School Summer Camp in 2017 

is a favorite memory. I got to spend 3 weeks with coach and 

trainer Chrystal Coffelt-Wood who inspires me and has 

supported me. I got to ride Legend every day for 2 hours 

which was a confidence builder. 

© Conklin 


I love their work ethic and personality. They are always ready to work. 


If I could ride any horse in the world it would be FR Hercules++++// aka Henry. He is a great hunter horse and makes it 

look so easy flying over the fences and his face is adorable! 


My greatest personal achievement with Legend was at the May 2017 NJHAHA show. Everything that Legend and I had 

been working on for 9 months finally came together. I cried because I was so happy. 


In 5 years from now, I'd like to be a contender for an AHA National Championship with Legend in Hunters and Dressage. 

Rachel Powell 

Chatham, IL 


Vallejo Moon Boots +/ , 9-year-old Half Arabian Gelding 


My favorite equestrian discipline is dressage. I feel dressage allows me to focus on 

perfecting individual techniques which improves my riding as a whole. 


My favorite memory is receiving my first Half-Arabian, LM Sweet Dreams for 

Christmas when I was 9 years old. I had no idea I was getting her, and when I walked 

into the barn she was in the cross ties waiting for me with a big red bow around her 

neck!

Arabian bred sport horses are incredibly intelligent and diverse. It's not unusual to see 

Arabian bred sport horses excel in several different disciplines. They are also very 

willing. 

39

(Rachel Powell continued) 


I would continue to ride my own horses. We have learned and grown together through the years and they will always have 

a special place in my heart. 


My greatest achievement was winning my AHA Youth National Championship this year in Dressage Seat Equitation. 

Boots and I have worked hard for many years and it was an honor to win the championship. 


I would like to mentor other youth riders to work towards their goals and help them to achieve their dreams. 

Sophia Stoernell 

Nokesville, VA 


Pure Fame (Super Lucky Fame x RDR Summer Breeze), 17-year-old Half-Arabian 

gelding 


My favorite equestrian sport is Dressage. I love Dressage because I love to build the 

partnership with my horse and the fact that I get individualized feedback so that I can 

compete against myself and strive to better myself with each ride. Dressage provides 

a solid foundation for all the other things I like to do with my horse. 


One of my favorite memories was with my Arabian mare Owl Creek Moniet. I was 

about eight or nine and I was learning to jump. Moniet would take such good care of 

me and would never take the jump unless I was balanced and ready. This one time, 

photo provided by Sophia Stoernell 

we took the jump, but I was not quite ready and ended up surprised that she jumped so big. I ended up launched onto her 

neck. She immediately stopped (with me hugging onto her neck) while she patiently waited for someone to come to my 

rescue and remove me from her neck. She always took great care of me with every ride and gave me such a great start. 


Arabian horses are so smart and beautiful. They are natural born athletes and make amazing partners. 

. 


If I could ride any horse in the world, I would love to ride Mirage V++++//. He is the sire to one of our horses and the 

grand-sire to another. I have always been in awe of him and all that he has accomplished. He has done so many different 

things and is good at everything. It would be an honor and dream to ride him someday. 


My greatest achievement was this last year at AHA East Coast Championships when I won the Championship in a 

Dressage class where I had to compete against adults. I had been working so hard and secretly had hopes I would win. It 

was such a special accomplishment and made me so happy and proud of my horse. 


I would love to be able to show at AHA Sport Horse Nationals in the next few years in Dressage. I have been working 

hard with my horse Pure Fame and will be starting to ride our gelding Miraggio (Mirage V++++ x Yankee Lady FHP) who 

just went under saddle this past year. I know he also has a bright future and I hope to be a part of it.

Terminology of Araber and Araberrasse 

by Linda Rudolphi 

Shagya-Arabian-Arabian, Anglo-Arabian, 

Anglo-Shagya-Arabian are terms we 

have either heard or used. But if you 

were quizzed, could you define or 

explain the distinction of each? Add 

translations between German, 

Hungarian and English terms in to the 

mix, and you can become confused 

easily. So why do we care? Considering 

the Anglo-Arabian and Anglo-Shagya 

are quickly becoming more and more 

recognized in the USA as 

influential sport horses –a 

“secret” known for centuries 

in Europe--, it is important to 

understand this magical cross. 

To break it down to the basics, the term 

"Anglo" is commonly used around the 

world when referring to the 

Thoroughbred breed. The Thoroughbred 

is a horse breed best known for its use 

in horse 

racing. 

Although 

the word “thoroughbred” is sometimes 

used to refer to any breed of purebred 

horse, it technically refers only to the 

Thoroughbred breed. The Thoroughbred 

as it is known today is a hot-blooded 

breed originally developed in 17th and 

18th-century England, when native 

mares were crossbred with imported 

Oriental stallions of Arabian, Barb, and 

Turkoman breeding. 

The Shagya-Arabian combines the 

qualities of the purebred Arabian with 

selective breeding goals to develop the 

ultimate Austro-Hungarian war horse 

with increased bone with a rounder and 

more substantial frame. In addition to 

these physical qualities, the goal was a 

horse with a tempered sensitivity and a 

less reactive mind to serve as a calm, 

steady mount under military stress. 

[Originally, these predominantly Arabian 

horses were referred to by the broadly 

descriptive term Araber or Araberrasse 

(of the Arabian "race" or breed, 

indicating predominantly Arabian 

ancestry). The term Araber in the US is 

usually translated to and 

thought of as a purebred 

Arabian rather than a 

horse of the "Arabian race". The world 

renowned hippologist, Dr. Gramazky, 

worked to change this terminology after 

World War II to the more specific phrase 

“Shagya-Arabian” because he wanted to 

be sure that the Shagya-Arabians would 

be recognized as a distinct breed from 

the Arabian horses that were also 

produced in Hungary.] 1 

Up until this time the Shagya-Arabian 

horses were also referred to as "Babolna 

Arabians," "Anglo-Arabians", "Arabianbred", 

"Magyar Arabs," and "Fajta 

Arabians" as a few examples. Today the 

name Shagya-Arabian is universally 

used; it was chosen because a Syrian 

purebred Arabian stallion named 

"Shagya" is in virtually every pedigree 

as an ancestor. 

1 Wikipedia contributors. "Shagya Arabian." Wikipedia, The Free Encyclopedia. Oct. 

10, 2017. Web. 

53

[The Shagya-Arabian breed is 

recognized with a special status within 

the World Arabian Horse Organization. 

In 1978, WAHO stated that the Shagya- 

Arabian was bred pure under the 

supervision of the Babolna and 

Topolcianky breeding guidelines 

with strict culling. Therefore, 

due to these records and 

careful selection they were designated 

to be termed "purebred Shagya- 

Arabian", a distinct Arabian-bred 

bloodline group. 

However, WAHO also was clear that 

"purebred" in this case means that the 

horses have been bred "pure" 

among themselves and are not to be 

confused with the term "purebred 

Arabian". Due to the meticulous recordkeeping 

of the Hungarian State Studs, 

Shagya-Arabian pedigrees can be traced 

to before the founding of most of the 

world's Arabian registries.] 2 

Of course, many are familiar with the 

purebred Arabian, its rich 

history and documented 

pedigrees back in 

time. With a distinctive head shape 

and high tail carriage, the Arabian is 

one of the most easily recognizable 

horse breeds in the world. It is also one 

of the oldest breeds, with archaeological 

evidence of horses in the Middle East 

that resemble modern Arabians dating 

back 4,500 years. 

Throughout history, Arabian horses have 

spread around the world by both war 

and trade, used to improve other breeds 

by adding speed, refinement, 

endurance, and strong bone. Today, 

2 Wikipedia contributors. "Shagya Arabian." Wikipedia, The Free Encyclopedia. Oct. 

10, 2017. Web. 

Arabian bloodlines are found in almost 

every modern breed of riding horse. 

So why does this matter? In parts of 

Europe the term “Anglo-Arabian” has 

been variously used in the past to refer 

to either a Thoroughbred crossed 

with a purebred Arabian, an 

"Araber" or part-Arabian, or a 

Shagya-Arabian. Following the official 

designation of the Shagya-Arabian as a 

distinct breed, pedigree records are 

being corrected to recognize the 

difference in an Anglo-Arabian vs. an 

Anglo-Shagya. Horses once recorded as 

"Araber" are now being clarified and 

recognized for their distinct heritage. 

Each of these breeds contributes its own 

special characteristics when used 

throughout Europe as improver crosses 

within the Warmblood studbooks. The 

Thoroughbreds are known for their 

agility, speed, and spirit. The purebred 

Arabian is known for its purity of 

pedigree, heart, and endurance. The 

Shagya-Arabian is valued for possessing 

the stamina and heart of the Arabian in 

a larger framed 

horse 

purpose 

bred first for cavalry use and later as a 

sport horse. The Anglo-Arabians and 

Anglo-Shagyas offer hybrid phenotypes 

that blend Thoroughbred power and 

speed with qualities derived from 

Arabian or Shagya heritage. 

The Arabian Sport Horse Alliance has a “big tent” 

philosophy that welcomes horses and ponies of any of the 

“Araberasse” –Arabians, Shagya-Arabians, Anglo- 

Arabians, Anglo-Shagyas, and --in recognition of the value 

of Arabian based lineages in sport registry breeding --any 

Arabian-bred sport horse or pony of at least 25% Arabian 

or Shagya lineage within 3 generations.

Ramzes – A Sire of the Century 

The Use of Thoroughbred and Shagya-Arabian to Develop the Ultimate Sporthorse. 

By Donna J. Coss and Linda Rudolphi 

Genetically, the Thoroughbred x Arabian 

and the Thoroughbred x Shagya-Arabian- 

Arabian are considered F1 crossbreds (F1 

hybrids). Through selective breeding F1 

Anglo-Arabians and F1 Anglo-Shagya- 

Arabians are both predictable hybrid 

phenotypes that breed true to their 

physical attributes and consistently 

contribute desirable traits when 

outcrossed. Through generations of 

consistent breeding of phenotypes within 

the individual breeds; the Thoroughbred, 

the purebred Arabian and the purebred 

Shagya-Arabian have been proven to 

produce a highly desirable and distinct 

type of sport horse when the F1 Anglo- 

Arabian and Anglo-Shagya-Arabian 

crosses are purposely bred. 

An example of one of the most successful 

F1 crosses between an Arabian-bred horse 

and a Thoroughbred is the Anglo-Shagya 

stallion Ramzes, who is often referred to 

as a Century Stallion. In 1937 Ramzes 

was born in Poland, his sire was the 

successful 

Thoroughbred 

racehorse 

stallion 

Rittersporn, 

the grand-son 

of the French 

Thoroughbred 

jumping sire Le 

Sancy. Along 

with numerous 

internationally 

successful 

progeny, the 

Rittersporn 

daughter, 

Warzawianka 

represented 

Poland at the 1936 Olympics. The dam of 

Ramzes, Jodi, of the famous Amurath-Weil 

bloodlines, was a Shagya-Arabian mare 

that was often referred to as an Anglo- 

Arabian. Her pedigree includes the 

purebred Arabian stallion Bairactar, one of 

the most influential purebred stallions in 

the breeding of international sport horses. 

Jordi's pedigree is a meticulous match of 

purebred and Shagya-Arabian lines of the 

great Hungarian state studs at 

Mezöhegyes and Radautz. 

How did a Polish stallion, born on the 

estate of the Countess Marie Plater- 

Zyberk in Poland, become a Century 

Stallion? At the age of two, following the 

occupation of Poland by the German 

army, Ramzes stood at the regional stud 

farm of Janov Podlaski where he was a 

popular riding and carriage horses. With 

the Russian forces advancing, the Polish 

studs that were under German occupation 

were relocated to Germany and Ramzes 

was one of the horses that crossed the 

border. After the war, Ramzes became the 

property of Baron von Nagel who bred 

sport horses at his property in Vornholz, 

Westphalia. 

It was soon 

evident 

Ramzes 

consistently 

contributed 

many desirable 

traits to his 

progeny. He 

sired 195 

offspring from 

mares of 

varying 

quality. Most of 

these were in 

the upper 25th 

percentile of 

national 

competition. Doing so in both the 

disciplines of jumping and dressage is 

quite remarkable. Ramzes passed on his 

baroque conformation type, lending more 

55

suppleness and making it easier to 

perform the high degree of the collection 

essential for the higher level movements 

in dressage. This also contributed a 

roundness of frame that provides a higher 

more swan-like neck set to enable a horse 

to lift its knees higher, and to give a 

rounder frame for more bascule over the 

jump, and slightly more natural break at 

the knee for a tighter front end over 

jumps. Ramzes decisively improved on 

the old fashioned, tremendously powerful, 

but high headed, flat backed jumping 

form. All of this Ramzes provided, plus a 

larger eye, more expressive face, rounder 

muscling, denser bone and increased 

endurance. Ramzes was homozygotic grey 

- all of his progeny were grey. He was 

known as a producer of great broodmares 

and much of his influence carries on 

through these grand old mares. The 

mares Folia, Vase (Holsteiner), and Retina 

were three of the most noteworthy. 

Examples of his influence include: 

CAPITOL I - one of the most important 

stallions in the history of the Holsteiner 

Verband, his legacy being an outstanding 

number of descendants performing on the 

international stage. His paternal and 

maternal grand-dams are the Ramzes 

daughters Retina and Vase. 

CAVALOR CUMANO, grandson of Capitol I, 

was the winner of the 2006 World 

Equestrian games in Aachen, completing 

ten tough rounds with only one fence left 

down!

Ramzes. In 1990 Lavinia was 15th at Prix

RADETSKY - Ramzes son, established in 

Westphalia a line of champions 

SALUUT II - The 1989 AHSA jumper of the 

year, has Ramzes on both sides of his 

pedigree. 

Once in a while, a horse comes along like 

Ramzes. He was one of the most 

spectacular horses of the 20th century in 

many ways and his influence is still 

evident today. At the 2004 WEG Grand 

Prix jumpers with Ramzes found in 48% 

pedigrees. Despite the fact Ramzes did 

not stand at stud for many years, having 

only four complete breeding seasons, it 

has been said that without Ramzes 

German Warmblood breeding would not 

be what it is today! After just four seasons 

at stud he is remembered as the origin 

the famous R line; “R” is for Ramzes. His 

influence founded one of the great stallion 

lines of Holsteiner show jumpers and 

Westphalian dressage horses. When bred 

for purpose and using selective breeding 

criteria the Anglo-Arabian and Anglo- 

Shagya-Arabian have been successful 

through the years and have brilliant future 

ahead. 

A “Century Sire” is one that has an outsized impact that persists for a century or more. 

Ramzes certainly has earned that title!

Breeding the mare - first steps 

By Jos Mottershead & Kathy St. Martin 

"I want to breed my mare!" It's an expression 

often heard early in the breeding season and is 

then followed by the question "what do I need 

to do?". Theoretically, the answer should be 

simple, but in practice that often proves to not 

be the case. 

Without getting into the actual selection 

procedure for the type of mare to be bred - 

which is a separate subject entirely and will vary 

from breed to breed - we can certainly look at 

different age groups as an initial consideration: 

Age 

The younger mare - younger meaning under the 

age of 12 - is likely to present the least number 

of issues in establishment and maintenance of 

pregnancy. It must be kept in mind that at the 

younger end of the spectrum, the filly must 

have started cycling regularly and be showing 

adequate maturity for motherhood. If it is felt 

that the filly is not yet adequately mature to 

maintain her own pregnancy, one can always 

consider flushing an embryo for transfer to an 

appropriate recipient mare. When dealing with 

a mare closer to the 12 year-old end, one 

should consider the prior parental status. If this 

is a maiden mare - with the caveat that some of 

the issues relating to older mares discussed 

below may start to be seen - she is going to 

more likely be an easier mare in which to 

establish pregnancy. If however she has had 

multiple pregnancies, it may be worth 

considering that she may possibly have some 

"wear and tear" on her reproductive tract which 

could cause problems. I liken the mare's 

reproductive tract to tires on your car. If the car 

is 10 years old but has only 5,000 miles on it, 

then the tires may well still be in good 

condition; on the other hand, if the car is 6 

years old but has 150,000 miles on it, the tires 

are likely to be worn out. The same therefore 

may be the case with a mare - she can be a 

younger mare that's had multiple foals and has 

more "wear" than a slightly older mare that's 

had no foals. The optimal age group for easy 

breeding will be found with mares between the 

ages of about 4 and 12. 

Once the mare surpasses the age of 12 - and 

particularly if a maiden - it is generally agreed 

that issues are more likely to be present which 

can make conception and/or pregnancy 

maintenance more difficult. One of these issues 

can be related to the ability of the cervix to 

open adequately to allow clearance of 

breeding-related fluids - discussed in greater 

detail below as it may also be seen in other age 

groups. We present an outline of other 

problems which may be encountered when 

breeding mares in this age group in our article 

entitled "breeding the older maiden mare". 

60

When the mare reaches her 20s, both the 

safety (for her) and ease of breeding are often 

debated. As a general rule, for a mare with no 

obvious significant problems, the answer to the 

question "when should I stop breeding her" is 

"when she will no longer get pregnant". Clearly 

if there are physical problems present, then 

they should be taken into account. The answer 

may be different and obvious, but in the 

absence of problems, anthropomorphism 

should not become a factor. It should be 

remembered that in the wild mares continue to 

breed until they no longer conceive. In fairness, 

it must be noted that there is a very slight 

increased risk of a uterine artery rupture in the 

older mare, but it should be underlined that it is 

slight. Certainly, the decision to not breed an 

older mare may be made if she has experienced 

a difficult foaling which "takes a lot out of her" - 

but conversely some older mares who have 

been life-long broodmares can be distinctly 

unhappy if they don't have a foal of their own! 

Evaluations 

Basic - and Cheap 

"Cheap and easy" evaluations are always a 

favoured starting point, and a very simple one is 

to look at the mare's overall physical condition. 

An excessively fat (obese) mare will be more 

likely to be suffering from metabolic issues such 

as PPID (pituitary pars intermedia dysfunction, 

also known as "Cushing's syndrome") or a 

precursor thereof. These conditions may also 

affect the mare hormonally, with lower 

pregnancy rates as a result. The opposite end of 

the scale - the excessively thin mare - is also 

more likely to present a challenge, as often 

these mares fail to cycle (especially if they 

already have a foal at foot) and have a higher 

incidence of early embryonic death ("EED"). 

Rectifying these two ends of the physical 

spectrum prior to attempting to breed the mare 

will result in higher success rates and less 

frustration. If dealing with a mare that has not 

been bred repeatedly unsuccessfully in the 

previous season, another good starting point is 

to consider her reproductive conformation - lift 

her tail! An external perineal conformation has 

been shown to have an effect on likelihood of 

pregnancy establishment [1]. If the perineal 

region is angled significantly off the vertical, it 

may suggest this could be a mare who is going 

to have problems getting and/or maintaining a 

pregnancy. It is important to understand that 

the "tipped" mare is not only more likely to be 

contaminated externally with feces, but that 

her internal reproductive tract may also have 

changed position, predisposing and leading to 

greater internal problems. It may be a moneysaving 

decision to not breed the mare with very 

poor reproductive conformation - however, this 

decision would also rule out a significant 

number of mares, so it is often not considered 

an eliminating factor, but merely a warning of 

possible problems. 

Cytology, Culture and Biopsy 

If it is decided the mare is to be bred, the next 

aspect to consider is uterine hygiene and 

health. There are several options here, which 

produce varying degrees of diagnostics. The 

basic evaluation is the culture and cytology - 

note the cytology, the significance of which we 

discuss in our article about the importance of a 

cytology smear. These two combined 

evaluations determine with variable accuracy 

the presence (or absence) of an organism, and 

whether an organism, if present, is pathogenic 

in nature. An endometrial swab culture alone 

will not reliably produce this information, 

resulting in a high incidence of either missed 

organisms or organisms identified as being 

pathogenic, when that is not the case. Indeed, 

even the sampling device can have an impact 

on results! A double-guarded device is 

preferable [2], and a cytology brush has been 

found to be superior to a swab for the 

61

harvesting of cells for a cytology smear [3], [4]. 

These devices are the most likely to be found in 

general practice, but it has been determined 

that a low-volume lavage has superior qualities 

for identification of mares suffering from 

endometritis [5]. This latter technique involves 

introduction of 60 ml of sterile physiological 

saline into the uterus, then the capture of same 

with evaluation of the sediment after either 

centrifugation or settlement. An alternative 

lavage method involves introduction of 250 ml 

of Lactated Ringer's Solution, with capture of a 

minimum of 150 ml [6]. A more advanced 

diagnostic is the combination of an endometrial 

biopsy and culture - the culture sample being 

taken from the biopsy sample itself. This will 

produce not only the same degree of accuracy 

regarding surface cells from the uterus as with 

the culture and cytology [7], but also an 

evaluation of the cellular condition of the 

endometrium, allowing an estimation of 

likelihood of production of a live foal [8]. 

Confusion may arise when faced with such an 

array of diagnostic possibilities as to which to 

use, but basic common sense answers the 

question well. The large breeding operation 

with many of their own mares will statistically 

see, on average, 60% become pregnant on the 

first cycle with no diagnostic involvement. 

Clearly, performing these diagnostics on all 

mares pre-breeding in a large herd will result in 

a significant waste of funds. With the large 

operation therefore, it is common that mares 

are bred on the first cycle with no or minimal 

diagnostics. Diagnostics only being introduced 

on subsequent cycles for mares which either did 

not get pregnant or lost the pregnancy. For the 

single (or low number) mare-owner however, it 

makes good financial sense to perform the 

diagnostics right from the start, 

before attempting to breed. So 

which to start with? The fastest and 

simplest diagnostic is the cytology 

smear. If inflammatory cells are 

identified, that indicates there is an 

issue within the uterine 

environment which requires 

attention prior to breeding. Most will couple 

the cytology smear with a swab for culture 

(swab first, smear second if two different 

samples are used). Treatment can then be 

initiated based upon the results. Another 

advantage of a cytology smear is that it may 

identify yeast presence - something which may 

not show up in a bacterial culture. If a mare is 

unsuccessfully bred for several cycles, having 

first been evaluated using a culture and 

cytology, it may be worth considering the use of 

the low-volume lavage as the next diagnostic 

tool, although more experienced reproductive 

veterinarians may have used it initially. The 

ultimate diagnostic in this category is the 

endometrial biopsy and culture. One could 

argue that it might be worth using the biopsy 

initially, however the majority of mares will not 

require it and the cost is greater than the other 

methods. The pre-breeding situations most 

likely to warrant a biopsy and culture are mares 

who have not become pregnant after several 

breeding cycles; the older barren mares; or 

mares that have lost a pregnancy after 40 days. 

Other situations exist where a biopsy and 

culture are recommended (for example when 

dealing with a mare post-pyometra), however 

these are outside the scope of this article. As 

the endometrial biopsy evaluates the cellular 

condition, it can be a very valuable diagnostic 

with mares which have failed to become 

pregnant or which have repeatedly lost their 

62

pregnancies at certain stages. The equine 

placenta does not start to form until around 40 

days of pregnancy, so prior to that formation, 

nutritional transfer cannot be through the 

placenta. Between about 40 and 140 days of 

gestation, the placental formation occurs, and 

nutritional transfer gradually changes to a route 

via the placenta. If pregnancy loss occurs during 

this time frame, it may indicate a problem with 

placental nutrient transfer, suggesting possible 

endometrial problems. One such group of 

problems is related to fibrotic changes of the 

endometrium or its glands. Those changes can 

be identified in the biopsy sample. If such a 

problem is identified, improvement of biopsy 

score and pregnancy rates may be achieved 

with the use of an intra-uterine lavage of 

dimethyl-sulfoxide ("DMSO") [9]. 

Cervix 

An evaluation which is of importance 

particularly in multiparous mares (those having 

had foals previously) is a manual evaluation of 

the cervix. This is best carried out during 

diestrus, when the cervix should be tightly 

closed and any damage such as tears or scarring 

can be more easily identified [10]. The cervix 

however needs to relax when the mare is in 

estrus and a failure to do so can result in failed 

pregnancy establishment or a higher incidence 

of EED due to accumulated uterine fluid. We 

discuss this later in the article. 

The suggestion that the cervix be evaluated for 

damage during diestrus raises the question of 

when to perform other diagnostics such as 

swabs or biopsy. With regard to swabs, there 

are two schools of thought, both of which 

present valid arguments. The first argument 

suggests that sampling should be performed 

during diestrus, as any bacterial presence in the 

uterus when the cervix is closed suggests a 

problem; the second suggests that sampling 

performed during estrus when the cervix is 

relaxed is mechanically easier, and that a 

significant bacterial presence at that stage 

suggests that the mare's own uterine defense 

mechanisms - which are elevated during estrus - 

are unable to deal with the issue. This second 

thought process also argues that in the event of 

uterine contamination during sampling - as the 

uterine defense mechanisms are elevated 

owing to estrus - any accidentally-introduced 

organism will be dealt with by the mare’s own 

response. From a practical perspective, the 

visiting practitioner has a 1-in-3 chance of 

arriving during estrus if the mare's cycles are 

unknown so commonly sampling is performed 

regardless of cycle stage. If the sample is taken 

during diestrus, it should be followed with 

prostaglandin treatment to induce estrus and 

elevate uterine immune function in case of 

contamination during sampling. The timing of 

biopsy sampling presents a slightly different 

picture, as ideally the retrieved sample should 

most closely mimic that which would be found 

during pregnancy. This would be during diestrus 

in the non-pregnant mare, when progesterone 

levels are elevated. A good pathologist however 

will be able to differentiate and offer results 

regardless of sampling timing. It is often asked if 

the sampling should be performed before the 

start of the cyclical breeding season - in some 

cases at the end of the previous year's breeding 

season before the onset of winter anestrous. 

While a biopsy sample is less likely to change 

during the winter period - although not 

impossible - a culture and cytology most 

certainly could have results differing from the 

prior season. Consequently, it is typically 

recommended that diagnostic work be related 

to year in which the intended breeding is to 

take place. Concern is periodically voiced over 

the prospect of performing an endometrial 

biopsy in close conjunction to breeding. 

Research has actually demonstrated that 

performing a biopsy within as few as 6 days 

prior to breeding has no impact on pregnancy 

63

ates [11]. A biopsy performed at the very 

beginning of the breeding estrus period, or on 

the prior estrus, should therefore not be a 

matter for concern. The only issue with 

breeding on the same cycle as that which a 

biopsy sample is taken is that the results may 

not be received prior to the breeding. 

Ultrasound 

Something else commonly identified during a 

pre-breeding or breeding-soundness 

examination is the presence of uterine or 

endometrial cysts. These are typically identified 

with the use of ultrasound although if large 

enough may be identified during palpation. 

While some research[12], [13] has suggested a 

lower pregnancy rate in mares with cysts, it is 

important to consider that other contributory 

factors may also be present. Those other factors 

with placental ability later in the pregnancy, or 

which are located in the region of the corpuscornual 

junction. This latter instance may cause 

interference with "fixation" of the conceptus 

around day 16. Older mares will be more likely 

to have cysts, but it is important to remember 

that older mares are also prone to other issues 

likely to reduce pregnancy rates. Failure to 

establish pregnancy in this group should not 

immediately be blamed upon cysts presence - 

indeed, the cysts may be a harbinger of 

underlying problems and not an issue 

themselves. Cysts, unless sized or placed as 

above, should not be an immediate cause for 

concern, and a good rule for cysts is "if they are 

not bothering you, don't bother them". It is not 

uncommon for mares with sections of uterus 

that per ultrasound look almost like Swiss 

Cheese, to achieve and maintain pregnancies 

may be a greater cause for lower pregnancy 

rates than the cysts. There is no doubt that 

there are some cysts which will reduce 

pregnancy rates. These will typically include 

cysts which are large enough or positioned in 

such a manner as to prevent adequate closure 

of the cervix, sufficient movement of the 

conceptus throughout uterus (particularly 

between days 10-14 post-ovulation), cysts 

which are so numerous as to cause interference 

with no problem! In the event that removal is 

deemed necessary, this can be achieve by 

various means, including manual ablation, snare 

electrocoagulation via hysteroscopy, 

endometrial curettage, puncture by uterine 

biopsy punch, puncture or aspiration during 

hysteroscopic examination, repeated lavage 

with warm saline, or laser surgery [14], [15], 

[16], [17], [18]. One issue that is distinctly 

related to cyst presence is a potential inability 

64

to identify a pregnancy. In many cases there are 

no features with which to differentiate between 

some cysts and an early pregnancy, save that 

the pregnancy will grow over the course of 

several days and develop a heartbeat, whereas 

the cyst will not. Owing to this annoying 

similarity, it is essential to map and record the 

position and size of cysts during the prebreeding 

evaluation. In some instances cysts 

may not be similar in shape to a pregnancy, but 

so numerous as to be impossible to clearly 

identify an early (12-14 days) pregnancy and 

definitive identification can only be achieved at 

a point slightly later - typically >19 days when a 

heartbeat is visualized - by which point the 

success of twin reduction will be lowered. 

Another important problem sometimes found 

during a pre-breeding or breeding soundness 

evaluation is free fluid presence in the uterus. 

This can be indicative of a variety of problems, 

including pathogenic presence, delayed uterine 

clearance issues and/or failure of cervical 

relaxation. It may also be related to 

endometrial changes such as fibrosis [19], 

particularly in older mares. Uterine fluid 

presence is something which requires further 

investigation, and it is recommended that 

mares not be bred without suitable treatment 

to either resolve the cause (if pathogenic or 

cervical in nature) or the presence itself (if 

related to clearance issues). There are a couple 

of very rough but useful "rules of thumb" 

regarding uterine fluid when it is identified per 

ultrasound: the first is that a clear "black" fluid 

suggests a lack of irritant (pathogen or other), 

while white specks in the fluid suggest 

inflammatory cell presence (and hence an 

irritant). While this is not an absolute, it is a 

useful starting point. If the fluid is identified 

early in the breeding process, use of the uterine 

sample culture and cytology or biopsy and 

culture as described above may be of assistance 

in identifying the cause; the second rule relates 

to depth of fluid: if less than 2 cm in depth, use 

of an ecbolic (oxytocin or prostaglandin) is likely 

to be adequate to achieve clearance, whereas if 

it is greater than 2 cm in depth additional 

treatment with a uterine lavage is likely to be 

required [20], [21]. We discuss uterine fluid and 

the use of ecbolics in our article about oxytocin 

use during breeding. Lack of cervical relaxation 

during estrus may also be a cause or 

contributory factor relating to free uterine fluid 

and requires attention. Causes for this may 

include adhesions, fibrotic or scar tissue 

presence, or low estrogenic levels in the mare. 

There are various methods available to 

encourage relaxation, which may prove more or 

less effective depending upon cause. 

Techniques include manually dilating the 

cervix [22]; systemic treatment with exogenous 

estrogens; topical treatment with prostaglandin 

E1 cream ("Misoprostol") [23] or Buscopan [24]; 

or acupuncture [24]. 

65

Other Issues 

Pooling, Windsucking and Caslick's 

Other problems which might be identified 

during the pre-breeding evaluation and which 

should be considered more serious - potentially 

to the point of not being desirous of breeding 

the mare - include urovagina (urine "pooling") 

and pneumovagina ("windsucking"). While 

these conditions may be resolved in some cases 

with the use of a urethral extension in the 

former or a Caslicks's procedure in the latter, 

the added expense and reduced rate of 

successful outcome may make a decision not to 

breed the mare a wise investment. Of the two, 

the latter (pneumovagina), if not too serious, is 

the one most likely to respond favorably to the 

cheaper Caslick's procedure. Ensuring absence 

of uterine pathogens in these mares prior to 

breeding is of increased importance owing to 

the predisposition of such presence due to the 

problems. 

Choice of Facility 

A final point which is worthy of consideration is 

the selection of a suitable facility to perform the 

breeding work. In this, the internet and fellow 

local-breeders can be of assistance for 

references, as well as some of the following 

"markers". It is important to consider that there 

have been many advances in the field of equine 

reproduction, particularly in the last 20 years, 

however it is a very small - and only seasonal - 

part of a veterinary business' work. 

Consequently updating the knowledge level 

may be overlooked in favor of another field 

which could produce year-round income, such 

as lameness. This of course can lead - 

particularly in situations where one is dealing 

with a problem mare or a more intricate 

breeding situation such as with frozen semen - 

to a disappointing and expensive outcome for 

the mare owner if pregnancy establishment is 

not achieved due to lack of knowledge or 

ability. Some practices which suggest a lack of 

updated knowledge include the use - without 

reason - of a full dose of prostaglandin to shortcycle 

a mare, rather than a micro-dose which 

prevents unpleasant side-effects for the mare 

(sweating, cramping etc.); an inability or 

reluctance to perform a cytology smear in 

conjunction with a uterine swab culture; lack of 

adequate sanitary practices regarding 

insemination; or use of a "regular" rubberplungered 

syringe for insemination. While 

pregnancies may be established even if these 

situations do occur, they are strongly suggestive 

of a lack of updated knowledge of the field, and 

consequently a greater risk of lower pregnancy 

rates. While any one of those practices may not 

negatively impact the pregnancy rate of a 

young, healthy mare, in the instance in 

particular of dealing with problem mares, 

attention to detail is critical for success.

rule is Al-Marah Seahonor but she has proven herself through her get several 

of which have achieved national championships. 

Since the farms inception in 2009, we have started competing with our foals 

and have achieved many AHA National and Regional championships in Sport 

Horse In-Hand. In the last several years we have been competing and placing 

nationally in both the under saddle classes and in the dressage courts in 

addition to continued success in-hand. Our first foal crops have already begun 

to distinguish themselves in the show ring including National Championships 

as Sport Horse In-Hand and National Top Ten’s on the rail and in the court. Our 

small group of foals are well suited for dressage hunters, eventers, endurance, 

working western or just great riding horses. 

Now that our stallions, Ar-Raqis+++/ and CommandperformaceAT+, have 

proven themselves in the show arena, we are taking the steps to offer them at

disposition. Breeding since 1982 Victoria has been dedicated to maintaining 

the athleticism, soundness, disposition and type that are the hallmark of the 

Arabian breed. Her first breeding produced Raphyre who went on to finish the 

famed Tevis Cup ride three times. Continuing to the present day with careful 

selection of the horses we choose to incorporate into our program, we actively 

compete in dressage & endurance & have prospects coming along who have 

promise of careers in both of these fields as well as over fences.

Bonn-Fyre Farms/Training Center is a full service breeding and training facility that 

has been breeding, training, and showing AHA National Winning Arabian and Half- 

Arabian Sport Horses since 1982. 

We offer training programs tailored to our clients’ and horses’ needs, We 

encourage our owners to participate with their horses in every aspect of their 

training and showing. We really enjoy working with our amateur owners. 

Our focus in breeding has been to produce horses with superb character, 

disposition, work ethic, as well as outstanding athletic ability and conformation. 

Our Warmblood crosses are bred with the goal of them being highly competitive 

on the open circuit in addition to the Arabian breed shows. We allow our young 

horses plenty of time to fully mature before their riding career begins (usually at 

age 5). This along with excellent breeding contributes to long performance 

careers. We currently have several horses competing at USDF shows at the FEI 

Levels. We have been breeding Warmblood crosses now for 26 years. We are 

having great success with them as well as the second generations of the cross, the 

3/4 Arabian 1/4 Hanoverian. 

We stand several stallions here at the farm - the Pure Polish, 6 time AHA National 

Top Ten Sport Horse Stallion Elikzir++/, AHA U.S National Champion and National 

Producer-The Terminatorr+ (Hanoverian cross), 10 time AHA U.S. National Top Ten

Cara’s love of horses became evident at a young age. She has always 

soaked up any equine related knowledge available to her. Since day 

one, she has spent countless hours in the barn and the arena. 

She firmly believes that the best lessons are taught directly from the 

horse. Cara’s teaching and training methods are based upon being a 

translator for each horse to better help their humans understand 

them and their specific needs. The natural beauty of classical 

dressage has helped her in doing so. 

At Cara Blanchard Training we offer a safe, enjoyable and 

educational environment for students of all ages and experience 

levels. We are excited to offer a variety of programs, from private 

lessons, to clinics, clubs and camps. 

All of our lesson horses have been professionally trained and meet 

our strict safety standards. They are pleasant to work with and truly 

enjoy their jobs as teachers and ambassadors. They look forward to 

the time they spend with their students. We teach young and young 

at heart how to relax and enjoy these beautiful creatures. We offer 

many different learning opportunities and tailor our lessons to each 

rider’s specific needs.

Golden Oaks Arabians & Warmbloods is a small breeding program nestled in the 

foothills of Northern California. Denise Cossuto & Tamara Torti share a passion 

for producing Arabian bred sport horses with the amateur owner in 

mind. Coming from endurance & dressage backgrounds their vision is unique, 

and the resulting foals have been even better than we had dreamed. 

The foundation of the program is our mares. The Hanoverian approved 

Arabian, Caraechstrodinair, is our cornerstone mare; she continually produces 

foals that exceed our expectations. She is the only Arabian mare to receive a 

"10" at a Hanoverian Inspection and produce a Top Foal at an Inspection. Her 

offspring are just now making their way into the show ring with AHA National 

and Regional Championships in SHIH, SHUS & Dressage. Her Champion offspring 

include Excepchanel & Magicaul Powers with Landinair, French Rivi Aira GOA & 

Wild Ivy GOA waiting in the wings. 

Our Arabian-bred and Warmblood mares are selected for characteristics that 

lend themselves to producing horses well suited for endurance & 

dressage. Good minds and trainability are high on our list, along with correct 

gaits that show the expression needed to be competitive at the open shows & 

on the endurance trails. We always try to have young prospects for sale and 

sometimes have riding horses or mares available.

Roze Arabians Ltd. 

(Elizabethtown, PA) 


Dressage 

In-hand 


Performance Horses For Sale? 

Sometimes 

Roze Arabians Ltd. grew out of my personal love and admiration for the Arabian 

as a versatile performance horse. Once I became the owner of my own Egyptian 

Arabian I was also introduced to their high degree of trainability and their desire 

to join into a working partnership in any under saddle discipline. My discipline 

of choice is dressage and my Egyptian partners have eagerly become zealous 

dance partners. Not only are our horses athletically talented, but they truly 

enjoy the mental challenges that arise in the dressage arena. Once in the arena 

they take pleasure in showing off their skills and give their hearts to the 

endeavor. 

The Egyptian has developed into more than just a beautiful horse to be shown 

on the line. Modern Egyptians have proven themselves to be wonderful trail 

mounts, capable jumpers and loving family horses who know how to take care 

of the youngest family members. The ability and desire to bond with their 

human counterparts is truly innate within the breed. The ancestors of today’s 

Egyptians lived alongside their owners in the tents and pavilions of the Bedouin 

people. These early horses were bred to be fierce in battle, yet gentle and 

tractable in the stable. I believe these qualities of bravery and trainability are 

what make the modern Egyptian the perfect mount for anyone looking to have 

a long and trusted relationship with their equine partner. 

I founded Roze Arabians Ltd. with the intent to produce Egyptian Arabians who 

possess all the qualities of their ancestors and with talent and durability to meet 

the demands of today’s sport horse enthusiasts. We strive to find horses that 

are versatile and able to excel in multiple disciplines Arabian was originally 

intended and incorporate them into our breeding program.

WineGlass Farm has been dedicated to the equine business for over 40 years. As 

natural athletes WineGlass horses have cross-discipline backgrounds ranging from 

polocrosse, distance riding, dressage, jumping and even some calf roping and 

reining! Our foundation mares have been performance tested with a minimum of 

500 distance riding miles. Soundness, trainability, willing attitude and competitive 

ability are genetically determined – all criteria we have used to select our 

broodmares. 

The addition of our Shagya-Arabian stallion *Budapest in 1990 complemented our 

foundation mares’ genetic potential. *Budapest brought excellent bone, frame, 

movement and personality to the WineGlass program. Today *Budapest progeny 

offer the same qualities of toughness, stamina, rideability and courage that made 

the ShA horses admired and desired so many years ago on the famous military stud 

farms of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. *Budapest is one of the few ShA stallions in 

the U.S. to have easily completed the stallion performance standards established by 

the International Shagya-Arabian Society (ISG). *Budapest is still the only purebred 

Shagya-Arabian stallion to receive USDF All-Breed recognition. 

WineGlass Farm has made one of the biggest importations of new genetics for the 

US Shagya-Arabian breed in decades. Frozen semen from four outstanding 

European stallions is now in the US. The purebred Arabian Russian racing stallion 

Pagur has a limited number of doses available. He is approved for Shagya-Arabian, 

Austrian WB, Arabian and Trakehner breeding. Doses of the dynamic Shagya- 

Arabian stallion Dartan offers completely new ShA genetics to the US & Canada in 

addition to an excellent sporthorse choice for Arabian mares.

FCF Oberons Vanity made history in 2015 when -as the only non-warmblood in 

the cohort- he finished 5th out of a field of 14 stallions in the 70 day Stallion 

Performance Test. He was the highest scoring and highest placing Arabian or 

Arabian-bred stallion EVER to attend the North American 70 day SPT! His scores 

included a 10 for Character, 9 for Willingness, 9.5 for Constitution, 9 for 

Rideability, 8 for trot, 8 for canter, and 8.5 for XC jumping! His individual category 

scores were 7.13 or higher. He exhibited aptitude for dressage and over fences 

where his form and scope was tested up to 1.25m (4’1”). 

At the NASS inspection in 2017 the judges were particularly impressed with his 

character, his aptitude for both jumping and dressage, and with his superb canter 

for which they awarded him a 9. 

In 2017 he competed with a young rider in USDF shows where he scored well and 

was always in the ribbons in a competitive region. Look for him in 2018 in the 

open 3 rd level classes! 

FCF Oberons Vanity is consistently siring foals with superior substance and bone, 

quality gaits, excellent feet, structural correctness, incredibly kind and willing 

temperaments, and classic Arabian beauty. He is an Arabian stallion who can 

measure up to the top standards of the sport horse world with a pedigree that is 

packed with old-fashioned CMK lineages with a consistent pattern of producing 

athletic horses with high rideability.

American breeders Ansata, Gleannloch and Imperial Egyptian Stud.

DOB: 04/20/1999

EVA: Unknown 

Zahin Haalim, a Straight Egyptian,100% Gleannloch bred stallion, has outstanding 

bone, body, and a bold temperament. Triple Sameh in his pedigree provided a 

guarantee for athletic ability and brains! His smooth gaits made this boy a natural 

for Western Dressage, and he did very well (at mostly unrated shows) before an 

injury sidelined him. 

Zahin Haalim also excelled at Extreme Cowboy Races where he represented the 

Arabian breed very well with his beauty and athletic ability! His foals have 

excellent temperaments, good bone, and correct conformation.

Mission Statement 

The Arabian Sport Horse Alliance was formed to promote the interests of owners, 

breeders, trainers, and exhibitors who are dedicated to developing purebred Arabian, 

Anglo-Arabian, Shagya Arabian, and part-bred Arabian sport horses and sport ponies to 

their fullest potential as competitive, user-friendly partners in the traditional sport horse 

disciplines of dressage, eventing, hunters, jumpers, combined driving, and driven 

dressage from suitability classes to the highest performance levels. 

The Alliance also supports the development of the emerging discipline of western 

dressage and recognizes endurance as sharing the same roots in the cavalry tests as the 

traditional sport horse disciplines. 

1) To maintain and operate an association of owners, breeders, trainers and other 

enthusiasts who desire to promote and support the use of Arabian bred sport horses and 

sport ponies in the sport horse disciplines and in sport horse breeding. 

2) To work cooperatively with the Arabian Horse Association and its clubs, the North 

American Shagya-Arabian Society, the Performance Shagya-Arabian Registry, USEF 

affiliate sport horse discipline organizations, sport horse breeding registries, and other 

associations on matters of common concern. 

3) To provide recognition and incentives for achievements in performance and breeding 

of Arabian-bred sport horses and ponies. 

4) To support the Arabian sport horse community through education and outreach.

The less we do on cross country, the easier we are on our horses. Learn how to be more still, touch 

their mouth only when you need too, plan your turns. The lighter we are with them galloping 

between fences we save their bodies and legs.
