Shagya Stallion BASYL at his stallion testing.

Performance Shagya-Arabian Registry Inspection

We made it!!!!

What an exciting year !!

Thanks to each and every single

person who helped us on this

exhausting journey to reach our

goal.

The PSHR is now a member of

the International Shagya-

Arabian Society (ISG).

We are in the midst of making

history. Imagine! It is now our

responsibility to love, promote,

sponsor and last, but not least,

to ride our Shagya-Arabians.

What a good start into the

future.

Now we are faced with new

opportunities and challenges as

we move into the future. We

know we will have some troubles

to change our North American

thinking to the European rules.

We know we will need your

continued positive motivation,

your help – practically and

financially - your questions which

will make all of us wiser as we

work together to ensure the

future of the Shagya-Arabian.

Shagya- Arabians.

Be a part of the history of the

Shagya-Arabian

in the US and Canada.

Even though Halloween and

Christmas are already in our

mind, this year is not over yet.

We have a great deal to organize

and formalize before spring when

we all enjoy our wonderful

Shagya-Arabian in the spring out

on the trail or in a show ring.

Come with us as we make big

plans for the future. Please join

with us and lend a hand as we

plan inspections for the

upcoming year. There are many

opportunities and committees to

choose from, your participation

does not have to be a full time

commitment. Every little bit

helps! Help us keep our

momentum going.

Contact your PShR Board of

Directors today with your ideas

and find out how you can help.

Dear members and friends of the

Performance Shagya-Arabian Registry,

The First PShR Inspection Tour!

The PShR will be aligning our inspections, performance testing and studbooks with the ISG RZBO (Breeding Guidelines). Not only do we embrace performance testing, our PShR performance criteria showcase our athletic Shagya-Arabians by going beyond the minimum requirements in the General ISG Framework. We believe our horses are the cream of the crop and we are willing to prove it. In addition to testing our stallions, the PShR has performance criteria for our beautiful Shagya-Arabian mares. Why? According to some breeding experts, the mare contributes a greater genetic influence on a foal than the stallion…….so the answer is, why not? Geldings are the proof of any athletic breed – they are the ambassadors who go out and compete and prove the Shagya-Arabian is a versatile horse perfect for everyone. Therefore, to honor and document our geldings the PShR has developed conformation evaluation and performance criteria to make sure they get the recognition they deserve. The PShR has developed Book Categories for Gelding to acknowledge their hard work, these categories are not recognized by the ISG. Throughout history, authors have referred to the Shagya-Arabian as an improver for other breeds; contributing

suspension, athletic stamina, working attitudes and elegance. To acknowledge these crosses exhibiting the Shagya-Arabian qualities, the PShR has also developed conformation evaluation and performance criteria to document and acknowledge the influence of the Shagya-Arabian. The PShR has developed Books III & IV for Shagya-Arabian crosses that are at least 25% Shagya-Arabian. Books III & IV are not recognized by the ISG. Summary charts are included in this newsletter to explain the opportunities available to a broad spectrum of participation for all our PShR horses and members. If you do not have a horse to bring – come and watch!

The PShR will be

showcasing as many horses as possible at each

inspection site.

It will be a great opportunity to see the various Shagya families and meet fellow Shagya-Arabian admirers. ��������������������������������������������

Where will the PShR inspections be held? A huge thank you goes out to our first PShR host sites! Our initial kick off site will be at the home of one of our PShR foundation members, Katherine

Voyer of Oak Knoll Sporthorses in southern CA. Katherine has been a great promoter of the breed for several years with her beloved *KS Rubin, an athlete extraordinaire.

Our second site will be at the beautiful farm of Doug and Julie Jackson-Biegert of Run Along Farms in NW IL. Run Along Farms is noted for its’ international quality endurance horses and support of the Shagya-Arabian. Julie has been an active member of the Board of Directors. Doug and Julie are the proud owners of the Shagya-Arabian filly Mirbat Mystic.

I was asked to exa- mine it again. In spring 2011 I’ve gotten the responsi- bili ty to read the stutbooks of both USA associations (PSHR and ASAV) which applied for membership in the ISG.

A.B. a ger- man Shagya breeder, living in Canada and Member of the board of the PSHR, sent me always right away translations and explanations, which made my wor- kload way easier. I owe her a special thank you for this.

I have checked all pedigrees, eliminated the purebred arabians. 11 stallions are in the stallion book and 30 mares are in the marebook. The pedigrees are very precise, I didn’t find any mistakes.

PShR Specialty Plus:

Halsteads Firesky & Julie Jackson-Biegert

Anticipation . . . By Holly Kemmis ISG Meeting July, 2012 I had no idea what to expect . . . I’d traveled to Europe before, but had never been to Hungary and Austria, so when the invitation to attend the ISG meeting in July came, I eagerly accepted. I am a rookie at many things horse related – but an avid student. My eyes were open wide when we landed in Budapest and set off to explore the city. Being in Hungary for the first time was special to me, as my grandparents were born in the Budapest area, and came to the United States in the 1920’s, where they met and married. I fondly remember my Nana with her slight European accent and culinary talents. I wanted to share my passion for the local food with Linda and Olivia Rudolphi – everything paprika, sour cream, noodles and cottage cheese that was so familiar to me. Budapest is a gorgeous city! The river Danube runs through the center and a series of bridges, all with names, make easy travel from the west (Buda) to the east (Pest). Our hotel was along the river, at the base of Gellert Hill (ask me after a few cocktails how many times we hiked up the hill!) The city is famous for its thermal baths, some of the largest in Europe, and we indulged in the Gellert spa which is decorated in gorgeous Art Nouveau mosaics and stained glass. Our first trip out of the city was to the farm of Andrea Janászik, who is the registrar for the Kisberi-Gidran Association in Hungary. The Gidran is a strong, medium heavy mount or carriage horse with a big frame, typically chestnut in color and regarded as a Hungarian Anglo-Arab. They are a very rare breed, found only in Hungary and Romania in small numbers. Andrea’s farm has a traditional thatch-roof barn and pastoral setting. At the end of the day, Andrea’s husband cooked a traditional meal for us (a goulash-like soup).

Our next adventure was to the Gidran farm in Kereki, where we were treated to a presentation of two lovely stallions and a carriage ride through the countryside. The manager did not speak English so Andrea graciously agreed to travel with us as translator. The Hungarian language is not easy for English speaking folks like me to understand – their words are filled with more consonants than vowels, especially the letters G, V and Z.

We were lucky to fit our tour into their schedule as they were departing shortly for a carriage driving competition. The carriage that took us cross country and through the quaint village of Kereki is shown here. I have never seen so many chestnut horses in one place! As you can see, the youngsters were quite friendly and inquisitive with Dr. Olivia.

Next was the day I’d waited for . . . to Babolna (pronounced with the accent on the first syllable), the Shagya State Stud of Hungary. Here we were joined by our international ISG friends, Dr. Walter Huber and Gertrud Von Fedak. The stud farm was established in 1789 as the Royal Imperial Stud of the Austro-Hungarian Empire to supply horses for the army and the Royal Guard. It comes as no surprise that there is an overpowering sense of history here. The buildings and grounds are gorgeous, everything is freshly painted bright yellow with dark green

trim and the gardens are neatly manicured. Upon arrival, we settled into the former officer quarters, now a small hotel. As we were all

impatient to see more, Dr. Huber treated us to a private tour of the stallion and mare barns, sharing stories of the time he worked and rode the Babolna Shagya-Arabians in his youth. Above each stall hung the horse’s pedigree, and the group talked at length about each of the characteristics found in the main breeding lines. I was an avid listener, and found myself taking pictures of the stall sign that corresponded to each horse. I wanted to remember every detail! I noticed a difference when speaking with Europeans about Shagya-Arabians and Arabians. In the US, we call Arabians just that – when talking with Shagya-Arabian breeders in Europe, Arabians are referred to as ‘Purebreds.’

Our second day at Babolna included a discussion of the company’s many interests (more than just horse breeding), a presentation of stallions, a carriage ride through a beautiful park, and a trip to one of the outlying farms. We had a congenial tour guide, who also served as translator. The day would not have been complete without a tour of the museum, which held many fine examples of traditional harness and saddlery, musical instruments, and large displays that traced the main Babolna Shagya lines back to the beginning. The visit to the off-site farm where some of the younger stallions were in training was a highlight for me. It was there that I found the stallion I thought most perfect, the one I would dream to bring home, Gazal XIX-1. Check him out, he’s GORGEOUS! Ah, if wishes were horses . . . . (BTW, I checked the private sale list, he’s NOT on it.)

14

We topped off our perfect day with food and drink at the home of Tamas Rombauer. Here I had my first taste of home-brewed Palinka, a strong fruit brandy. I’m such an innocent! Tamas offered me a small glass, everyone raised their arms in a toast, and I chugged. Most of the rest of the evening remains fuzzy, but the food and company were outstanding. Next stop on our whirlwind tour was the Pelsonius Farm in the Lake Balaton area of Hungary. What

beautiful countryside! The farm was enormous (600 ha or 1400+ acres) and there are over 300 horses – it is the largest ‘Arab’ stud in Hungary. We traveled by jeep out to see the mares and younger horses. Afterwards, the stallions were presented to us and we spent time with the latest crop of foals. This is a private farm, not state owned, and the owner/director had an interesting breeding program. He was crossing Shagya Arabian and Akhal-Teke stallions with Shagya Arabian and Arabian (purebred) mares. Targeting the distance market in Europe, he hopes to produce a high quality horse with both speed and endurance.

This picture is of one of the Pelsonius stallions, a 4 year old Shagya by Koheilan XIII. He was Junior Champion stallion in the European Championships in Stadl, Austria 2010. I was very impressed by the quality and diversity of the stallions at Pelsonius. From Babolna, we traveled to the final chapter in our story, the ISG meeting in Vienna. WOW! A large group of passionate Shagya-Arabian supporters gathered for a day filled with activities that culminated with the annual meeting. Of course, we were on pins and needles, waiting for the meeting, because THE VOTE was hanging in the balance: Would the ISG accept the PShR? Time will tell . . . We started our day with a carriage ride through the city, the drivers describing the sites, our cameras clicking. After this, we were treated to a performance by the Lipizzaner horses and tour of the Spanish Riding School. It had always been a dream of mine

to see the school – I was only a wee bit disappointed that the famed stallions were ‘on holiday’ at Piber and we had to ‘settle’ for the mares and youngsters. I promised myself a return trip.

We then traveled by bus to the Freudenau race track, a nostalgic location whose buildings date back to the time of the Austrian emperors, a place where the aristocracy presented their horses . The meeting

15

was chaired by the ISG President, Ahmed Al Samarraie, entirely in German. Those of us who needed English were given headsets so we could hear the translator. The agenda seemed long – I skimmed through it, eager to understand how long we would have to wait for THE VOTE . Shelley, Olivia, Linda, and I were all seated at the end of one row - - Behind me were some charming people who spoke German, and to my right was a couple from one of the Scandinavian

countries. Everyone was friendly and relaxed (except Linda, who by this point was barely breathing). I was impressed with the business-like manor in which the meeting was conducted. Finally, Ahmed announced the recommendation of the Board of Directors that the Performance Shagya-Arabian Registry be accepted as a member of the ISG and called for the vote. Then, came the vote by roll call - - one by one, each country was named and it’s delegates called out their vote – YES, YES, YES . . . it continued. At the end it was apparent to everyone that the PShR was

accepted. The group behind me tapped me on the shoulder and offered me a glass of wine, huge smiles on their faces - - I jumped up, cheering as we started hugging each other. I looked around the room and everyone was smiling, clapping, and welcoming us. I do believe we all shed a few tears of joy . . .

The PShR achieved the goal we have been working so long and hard for. What lies ahead? A whole new set of challenges was given to us by Ahmed following the meeting, the most important being to offer registration to the Shagya-Arabian horses in the United States who do not belong to an official ISG organization. I know we will find a way! Toast! Prost! Salut! Skaal! Nazdrave! Kedves Egeszsegere! Toastado! A Votre Sante! Cheers!
