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

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

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

What is your favorite memory with horses?
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.
What do you think makes Arabian bred sport horses special?
Arabian horses are so smart and beautiful. They are natural born athletes and make amazing partners.
.
If you had the chance to ride any horse in the world, who would it be and why?
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.
What is your greatest achievement with an Arabian-bred sport horse?
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.
Describe at least one goal for your involvement with Arabian-bred sport horses 5 years from now.
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!
MONTEVIDEO - Holsteiner by Marlon xx

Montevideo was on the German Gold
medal team and place 6th at the 1984
Olympics as a Grand Prix jumper.
Regarded as the most beautiful horses in
the Olympics.

Ramzes. Famously pictured being ridden
without tack during an exhibition during
the 1984 Olympics. In 1985 Chronos was
Reserve Champion in Prix St George at
the USET Regional finals.
LAVINIA - Trakehner by Condus by
Ramzes. In 1990 Lavinia was 15th at Prix
St George in the USDF Horse of the Year
rankings. She was ridden by Hilda
Gurney.
UNANIMOUS – Dutch Warmblood by
Rigolotto by Ramzes. 1990 WEG in
Stockholm ridden by Betsy Steiner.
REMUS – a Westfalen Ramzes son, won
individual dressage silver and team gold
at the Tokyo Olympics.
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.

An Tearmann Arabians is located in the rolling hills of south central Wisconsin
near Lodi. Our goal is to produce Arabian horses with great conformation and
willing dispositions utilizing primarily Crabbet blood lines. All of our
broodmares have proven themselves in the show ring with numerous AHA
regional championships and national top ten wins. The only exception to this
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
stud.

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
LA Legacy In Black+++//, our Pure Polish- and 5 time AHA U.S. National Top Ten
Karnavaal++. We offer on farm breeding and Transported Semen.
We always have top quality, National Caliber horses available.

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.

are now demonstrating their trainability and athleticism under saddle. As a
breeding farm, the primary focus is on breeding, raising, and training with
participation in clinics, schooling shows, and rated sport disciplines venues.
Our home-bred Arabian stallion, FCF Oberons Vanity, is the highest scoring

Performance Test where he exhibited impressive performance aptitude for both
dressage and eventing topped off by exceptional interior scores. In 2017 he was
ridden by a young rider at USDF shows where they scored and placed well. FCF
Oberons Vanity is being carefully developed for upper level work and will show
with his trainer at 3 rd level in 2018 in the highly competitive USDF Region 8.

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.

Performance Horses For Sale?

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.

is the most elastic horse I have ever ridden. He showed extreme talent for jumping

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.

decade. Gepard (Naftlin x Prikhot), was the number 1 Russian Race horse
producer in 2010/11. Pagurs' dam, Pospa (Prikaz x Premera), was an "Elite" dam
of outstanding racehorses.
Pagur was licensed in Austria under the strictest of stallion licensing. At the Stadl-
Paura, Austria licensing in 2012 he had the highest score of the day over Shagya-,
Anglo-, and Partbred-Arabians.
As an all around sporthorse Pagur has also competed in dressage and has recently

Richardson, who gave him 8s across the board (conformation and gaits) and
remarked on his "tremendous withers and powerful hind end."

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.

You can never rely on a horse that is educated by fear. There will always be something that he fears more
than you. But, when he trusts you, he will ask you, what to do when he is afraid.

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.
