In my opinion this years Event was certainly the best that I've seen since
I first attended in 1993. The entries were up considerably with deep, quality
classes, the judging was the fairest and least political that I've ever seen—I
saw no sign of politics for a change. The atmosphere was one of enthusiasm
and friendliness. The winners were spread across the board from very unknown
small breeders to the larger farms. I interviewed many people on their opinions
and always seemed to get the same answer—it was fair, fun and non political.
Of course there will always be some eyebrow raising scores because judges
do have personal preferences.
One thing that pleased me is that finally, movement is being given far
more consideration than in the past, resulting in much higher movement scores
than the usual 17s & 18's. A new procedure this year was to let horses
come in one at a time and show their movement first. This resulted
in some over enthusiastic plastic bag shaking and some horses showing either
just a canter or an unbalanced trot, while being lunged all the way down
the rail. Those trainers who could run and get their horses balanced to show
some good strides certainly benefitted. It was interesting that some trainers
got the fast athletic trainers to do the trotting part !! The horses then
withdrew to await their turn for the standing up part of the class.
As usual there some great and very informative lectures and seminars to
attend starting with Amateur Halter Handling, Population Genetics with Dr.
Banks, Western Equitation, English Equitation, Endurance—The Tevis
Cup experience, Advances in Equine Reproduction with Whit Byers. "Don't
judge a book by it's cover " with Joe Ferris, Legacy Mares Moniet
El Nefous with Cynthia Culbertson. The Babolna Stud of Hungary and it's influence
of Straight Egyptian Breeding with Tziah Idan.
In addition their two presentations of the stallion showcase, the barn parties
on Thursday evening and the Gala Dinner Dance and Auction, as well as the EBC
Live Stallion Breeding Auction; so the week was fun filled and highly educational.
In between all that there were the classes to watch. The amateur classes were
well filled and there were some nice geldings too. I do think though that more
needs to be done for geldings, as not every colt is stallion material by any
means and owners need to be encouraged to geld more frequently. The Hunter
Pleasure classes were some of the best I've seen here, particularly the open
class. Once again the endurance rides were well organised and fun for the competitors.

We congratulate our Straight Egyptian Arabian winners in the prestigious
50 mile Pyramid Challenge Endurance Ride for 2008 held at the U.S. Egyptian
event in Lexington, KY.
Capturing the exquisite ornate Middle eastern saddle given by the King
Of Morocco to the rider placing highest in the 50 mile ride, was Kathleen
Waymire on Petraa (Richter MH x Minstrils Bouquet). Petraa is 1999
Straight Egyptian, Al Khamsa Gelding owned by Kathleen and Charles Waymire
of Springhill, Kansas.
The second place straight Eyptian Arabian was Shihara Breeci (*Shahir
IASB x Bint Shahsria). She was ridden by Cyndi Epp. Cindy received
the Gold Stirrup award. Breeci is a 1998 Straight Egyptian, Al Khamsa Mare.
The Pyramid Challenge endurance ride was in a beautiful setting at the end of
the Kentucky horse park. Very primitive camping, with no water except what
was hauled in for the horses. The ride meeting was on Friday night with food
and plenty of information about following the markings on trails and vet checks.
We had our first vet check before the meeting, to make sure our horse were
fit to do the ride. They were ready with great heart rates and good hydration,
and no lameness. The next morning for the 25 milers there were 29 starters.
The trail took off out of camp down a road with a sharp left back into pasture.
There were approx. 19 fast horses starting in the first group. Cindy and I
were in the first 5 of that group. We literally ran for the 1 st hour before
riders started dropping back, which left about 8-10 still moving out at a gallop
and big trot. Read full article.

Michael's annual Open House was again held in early May. This always an
incredibly well organised and fun event, with fabulous horses upon which
to feast the eyes. This year in perfect weather visitors were greeted by
a very dapper, svelte looking Michael sporting a handsome goatee beard
! The event started on Friday night with a gathering of friends and clients
with great food and a chance to become acquainted with new and old friends.
The next morning the valet parking officials did a great job in swiftly
dispatching cars to a distant field. We started off with a wonderful presentation
of Junior and Senior stallions. First in was the magnificent Mardigras
JMF (Marwan Al Shaqab x JMF Dare To Dream). This colt already has an impressive
show record having twice been Junior Champion at The All Nations Cup in
Aachen.
· Laws and policies that restrict access to America’s abundant energy
drive up the price of fuel and electricity. They cause widespread layoffs and
leave workers and families struggling to survive, as the cost of everything they
eat, drive, wear and do spirals higher.
For thousands of years, the horse has been the transportation,
friend and burden bearer of man. The horse has been epitomized and romanced
for his nobility, spirit, strength, speed and beauty in poetry, art and
legend. Much history regarding the law and the horse exists in legal libraries
around the world, most of which carry an understanding for the nature of
the horse as a domesticated animal in an imperfect world.
In legal terms, a Tort is a private or civil wrong or injury,
other than breach of contract, for which the court will provide a remedy
in the form of an action for damages. In layman terms, when someone is
in the wrong and injures another party or damages their property, that
person must pay the damaged party for the damage done. The mere fact that
someone is injured does not automatically mean that some other person has
committed a tort and must pay for damages. A person must pay for the injured
party’s damages only if she or he was at fault and liable.
Most states have enacted Equine Liability Immunities Law.
These laws are often helpful in determining liability and in reducing settlement
values. However, the fact that such a law exists in your state does not
do away with your need for liability insurance. read

Benefits In The Economic Stimulus Act For Horse Industry
by Colleen Scott
While most consumers are starting to receive their Economic Stimulus Act
checks, there are lesser known benefits to horse owners. As outlined by
the American Horse Council, a lobbying organization based in Washington
D.C., the Economic Stimulus Act, signed into law by President Bush on February
13, also provides tax incentives that would allow a much bigger write-off
for horses and other depreciable property purchased and placed into service
during 2008. Says American Horse Council President Jay Hickey, "This should
provide an additional incentive for people to invest in more horses for
racing, showing and breeding as part of their business activities."
According to a press release issued by the Council, the first incentive
would increase the so-called Section 179 expensing allowance for horses
purchased and placed into service in 2008 from $128,000 to $250,000. This
expensing allowance also applies to farm equipment and most other depreciable
property. Once total purchases of horses and other eligible depreciable
property purchased during 2008 reach $800,000, the expense allowance goes
down one dollar for each dollar spent on eligible property over $800,000. Read Entire article, Click here...
