EASTERN CRABBET ARABIAN HORSE SOCIETY
Our Philosophy
The Eastern
Crabbet Arabian
Horse Society
was organized on
December 4,
1994 for the
preservation of
Arabian horses
that trace their
lineage to the
original Arabian
horses utilized by
W.S. and Lady
Anne Blunt,
Judith, Lady
Wentworth, C.
Covey, the Crabbet Stud of England, and the
Sheyk Obeyd
Stud of Egypt.
The Society's
purpose is to
promote the purity, beauty,
utility, tractability and versatility of Arabian
horses descending
from the Crabbet
sources.

Things happen for a reason…… submitted by Sari
Bolnick
I am a firm believer that things
happen for a reason.
Kobe’s first show season last year
was very exciting but our lease
ran out on the pony we were leasing and we were now horseless.
Barbara Cohen of Thorn Valley
Farm in Oxford, PA was in need of
another lesson pony.
Dawn Jones-Low of Faerie Court
Farm was looking to sell her 10
year old Arabian gelding AAA Legend of the Seas (Naibara Blaze
Man x HSA Seamist).
I did some research on this gelding and got very excited. He loved
to jump and was trained in dressage. His babies were successful.
He was pony size and he was
Crabbet. What more could I ask
for? I was not in a position to
purchase a horse so I thought,
perhaps a lease?
In early December, one of our
trainers Katie Weagley and I drove
to Vermont (and back in one day)
to meet Legend. Katie rode him
and was quite excited and really
wanted this horse to come back to
Pennsylvania. That made me very
excited. The following Sunday Bill
Noonan and I drove back to Vermont and we brought Legend
home to Thorn Valley Farm. It was
love at first sight for all of us. I
knew this when Barbara kissed
Legend’s nose as he was walking
into the barn.
Barbara got her lesson pony,
Kobe got a pony to ride and love,
and Legend got (especially) a little, 12 year old girl to call his own.
But it doesn’t stop there.
ECAHS NEWSLETTE R
For the past few months, Kobe
has been working very hard
learning to ride Legend. Small
children ride Legend in their lessons and even grownups do.
Everyone LOVES Legend. He is
smart, his conformation is correct, awesome jumper, lovable….. the list goes on and on. I
have fallen for this little chestnut
pony. No surprise there!
Now comes along Haley Korejwo.
She is one of Chrystal Wood’s
(Kobe and Legend’s trainer) students and is on the Penn State
Berks Equestrian Team. She is a
fabulous jumper. Haley has now
joined team Legend. This is
called win-win. Haley really enjoys working with Legend and all
that work will pay off for Kobe in
years to come. Legend is very
happy jumping so this adds
some variety to his work schedule. He’s a very happy pony and I
have one very happy granddaughter.
We went to the NJHAHA Arabian
show this past weekend. It was
so much fun watching this little
chestnut pony. Kobe won her
Intro A dressage test on him and
Haley was 14’2 Working Hunter
Champion. They are qualified
for Regionals and Sport Horse
Nationals. Fun! There were two
things that really made me say
wow! The first was while Haley
was warming up Legend before
one of her classes, I saw Legend
do a leg yield. I wondered if Haley asked that of him or what.
She came around and asked me
if I had seen what he did. I
smiled. Then I see our chestnut
pony doing the most lovely side
passes. Kobe’s mouth dropped.
All these little hidden things that
Haley is discovering with him.
The second thing was Kobe was
scared to go into the Sport
Horse Under Saddle – JTR
class. She loves to canter Legend at home, but was a bit
scared to do it at a show. So
we scratched her. A little while
later she came to me and said
“Mom Mom, I want to try that
class.” So I re-entered her, she
completed it, cantering and all,
with big smiles…. She overcame her fear of cantering in a
class.
We have come a long way in
just a few months and the possibilities are endless for Kobe
and Legend. She knows that
her hard work and determination will pay off down the road,
of course with the help of Team
Legend (Barbara, Ron, Chrystal, Katie, CiCi, Dawn, Haley,
Kobe and me).
To use Haley’s word….. this
journey with Legend is going to
be “epic”.

This is a slightly edited version of a story written by
Robert “Bob” Joder, youngest
son of Anna Best Joder, which
appeared some years ago in
the Joder Arabian Ranch
(JAR) newsletter in a column
known as “Bob’s Bits”. In the
story, we see how Anna Best
Joder’s ranch came to be.
ECAHS NEWSLETTE R
mother, I was the only one
left in Cheyenne to help as
my brother and sister had already left for college. So, I
was given the task of hauling
our 35 horses to Boulder on
weekends in our two-ton
Ford stake truck. I was alone
in the job unless I was able to
recruit a friend. When this
effort started, I knew our family needed all the help it
could get, so I just did it.
The Move by Bob Joder
It was 1953 and I became
aware of my life changing
when suddenly my father,
Glen H. Joder, was not around
anymore. When he did come
around it was to get me to
help him pack something into
boxes for him. I had no script
for this or my mother’s actions and no one was telling
me what was going on. Finally, even a 17-year-old that
still believed the earth was
solid realized that a divorce
was happening.
This divorce signaled the demise of the Cheyenne, Wyoming ranch and the beginning
of the ranch near Boulder,
Colorado that would become
the Joder Arabian Ranch
(JAR), operated by my mother
Anna Best. The ranch was apparently part of the divorce
agreement and was originally
some 600 acres in size, although today it has shrunk to
around 330 acres.
In the move down to the new
location in Colorado, in 1954,
the last to leave were the
horses. And, besides my
At the time, I didn’t know that
my life’s path would soon
take me to college at Colorado State University, then
through a series of jobs
throughout the West with the
U.S. Forest Service and the
Bureau of Land Management,
before coming full circle in
the mid-1970s to return to the
Joder Arabian Ranch to take
the reins from my mother,
Anna Best.
But back to the story of the
move.
There was a wooden loading
chute in Cheyenne and another one at the ranch site
just north of the town of
Boulder with two hours of
narrow two-lane highway in
between. Because the truck
bed was so high, the chutes
were long, angling up at
about 45 degrees. My job was
to get each horse up that the
chute, down the highway to
Colorado, then back down
the chute at the other end—
for as many loads as it took.
Although I’m sure others
helped me with this work
from time to time, all I remember is facing the task
without the help of any better experience than my
own.
One load in particular is
still with me and will always
be with me. I had recruited
a friend and between us we
had loaded a couple of fillies with ease. The next filly
proved a different story. I
tried everything my 17-yearold brain could come up
with to load her. When I began to lose it, my friend and
I had her about halfway up
the chute. The filly lost it
with me, also. She reared
up, fell over back ward and
hit the ground on her back
and head at the start of the
chute. She was dead. This
memory is as clear as if it
had happened today. I
stood in the chute waiting
for her to get to her feet, but
she didn’t move. My friend
didn’t know what to do, nor
did I. Except that I was
young enough to cry—so
crying is what I did.
I went to the house to tell
my mother that I had just
killed one of her fillies.
Through my sobs, I got the
story out. To her credit, she
heard me out and instructed me to drag the
body out of the way and to
finish the load and be on
the way. She would take
care of the filly. She asked
only one question: “Which
filly was it?”
Page 7
Well, I finished my tasks in
moving horses to Boulder. I
stayed behind, living with my
Dad, while I finished high
school in Cheyenne. I made
weekend trips to the new
Boulder ranch from time to
time, but school and my forestry career were becoming
priorities for the next many
years. Horses were a thing of
the past—or so it seemed.
A coda, by Daniel Joder,
grandson of Anna Best and
one of Robert Joder’s three
sons:
Fast forward to today, a warm
day in late May of 2013…
We are now deep into the
process of “deconstructing”
the Joder Arabian Ranch in
preparation for its sale to the
City of Boulder for use as
Open Space. By July of this
year, all the horses will be
gone, most of the infrastructure will be gone, we will be
gone, and Joder Arabian
Ranch will be gone. It has
been a tremendous, near 60year run, but the cycle has
come to an end. Although it is
a bittersweet time, we are
quite happy that the land will
not be developed and will be
open to the public for all future generations.
As part of this deconstruction,
we are removing a ropesconfidence course, three outdoor arenas, numerous horse
shelters and pens, two mobile
homes used for employees
ECAHS NEWSLETTE R
and instructors, and a large
stable, lounge and classroom
area—and all the while we are
stirring up dust heavy with
nearly 60 years of horsehuman history.
Anna Best, my grandmother,
was a not-very-tall, fire-in-the
-eyes, strong-willed, welleducated (and very opinionated!) woman before her
time—a published playwright,
expert in Arabian horse
breeding and lineage, and
founding editor of the national Arabian Horse News
magazine, owner and operator of the Hobby Horse Gift
Shop as well as the matriarch
of JAR for many years. At
one point during her tenure,
JAR was home to the Rocky
Mountain School of Horsemanship, the Gift Shop, a
controlled breeding program,
a boarding operation, and
some 90 Arabian horses including the award winning
Arabian stallion, Ibn Rogue.
Robert “Bob” Joder, my Dad,
and his wife Eloise Witt Joder
(she was Colorado Horse
Council president, 20012003), did eventually return to
Joder Arabian Ranch in the
1970s to take the reins from
my grandmother. They began
the process of transforming
JAR into less of a breeding
operation and more of a community in which the horse
and human could gently interact and learn from one another.
Bob and Eloise, upon reassessing the carrying capacity of the pastures, began to
limit the breeding and reduced the size of the Joder
herd drastically. They then
expanded the boarding operation and introduced an
extensive array of equine
activities to bring the community into contact with the
horse—beginner-oriented
horse shows, 4-H meetings
and activities, costume
horse shows, equineassisted therapy, equine
workshops, dressage, western and hunter-jumper instruction, to name a few—
always with natural horsemanship techniques as the
foundational philosophy.
Three generations of kids
(mostly girls it would
seem!) have grown up and
learned life’s most important lessons while working
with horses at the Joder
Ranch.
As to my Dad, he evolved
as a horseman well beyond
what he was at age 17 (see
the introductory story) to
become an accomplished
natural horseman and, to
use a popular term, “horse
whisperer”.
In recent years, JAR has
hosted Caroline Roy’s nonprofit Rocky Mountain EquiRhythm (RMER) offering
equine therapy, riding lessons, equine workshops,
summer camp programming for children, graduate
student equine
Page 8
therapy internships and other
associated equine activities.
Happily, once JAR shuts its
gate, Caroline and RMER will
continue operations at the
nearby La Rienda Ranch here
in Boulder County.
So, after some 20 years under
the stern eye of Anna Best
Joder and nearly 40 years under the direction of Bob and
Eloise Joder (with help from
sons Dan, Brian and Greg, and
many, many boarders and volunteers), the Joder Arabian
Ranch will end its wonderful
run. With equus as our
teacher, we hope that we have
contributed in some small way
to the betterment of the lives
of the many folks who were
part of our horse community
over the years and we thank
them for their support. We
also hope that the Joder Arabian Ranch experience will
continue to ripple through the
universe in a positive way
long after we are gone.
A final postscript: The 2001
Benefactor of the Breed award
from the Eastern Crabbet Arabian Horse Society (ECAHS)
given to my grandmother,
Anna Best Joder, for her contributions was a wonderful
surprise when we learned of it
this spring. Although my
grandmother is no longer
alive, my father has received
the plaque, the letter, and the
Crabbet/Blunt breeding certificate for the last Joder horse,
Jasara Ebn Walad (#566474).
Now retired from horse ranching, and somewhat handi-

by
the
honor—he, along with the entire Joder family, thanks you

wish to personally thank Mrs.
Virginia Kelsall for her detective work in tracking us down
to deliver the award. All the
best to the ECAHS as you
continue to maintain the
breed.

A HORSE STORY
by Brianna Stegall, age 12
The most magical creature
on the planet Earth is the horse. I
believe this because they tell a
story. Also they tell you how they
feel, how they think, and how much
you love them. They are also one of
the most beautiful creatures. I say
this because the way they move, the
way they look at you with their eyes,
and how they feel what you feel. In
this I will tell you how I feel about
these beautiful, magical creatures.
I said horses tell a story because
they tell you all kinds of things as in
their feelings, their thoughts, and
they tell you they know you love
them. Every horse has a story to
tell.
Congratulations Polly Knoll.
The Pyramid Society in Lexington, Ky., is awarding me
their Trustees Award for devotion and promotion of the
horses which will be presented at the Embassy
Suites Hotel in the ballroom
on Friday, June 7th. The
honor usually goes to major
breeders, etc., so I was
MOST pleasantly surprised!
Polly Knoll
I said they’re beautiful because they
really are they move without a care,
without worries. Their eyes are
really beautiful they are just so
pure, kind, and gentle.
Lastly, but most importantly every
horse has a free spirit.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The most magical creatures
are the horses. I say this because
they tell you a story using beauty,
movement, and their pure, gentle
eyes. In this story I will tell you how
I feel about these beautiful creatures.
Horses are so very beautiful, they can tell a lot using their
beauty. They also have beauty in
the way they move with such gracefulness. A horses eyes say a lot,
the way they look at you with such
pureness, it is truly beautiful.
They use all these things to tell
such a wonderful, exciting story.
Every horse has a story to tell you
just have to look, listen, and talk to
them.

that live have

one:

with Entertainment
and yes... he really rode Trigger!
KISSIMMEE, FL—Apr. 30,
2013—You could say Mark Miller’s
taken up his own kind of Roman
riding. Galloping with one foot atop
his Orlando-based equine entertainment dinner attraction Arabian
Nights, the other is firmly planted
on Al-Marah LLC, which continues
the world-famous Al-Marah Arabian
horse farm in Tucson, established
by his mother the late Bazy Tankersley.
“I literally grew up in the
Arabian Horse industry,” says
Miller, a Chicago native, who was
born one month after Al-Marah’s
foundation stallion Indraff (Raffles’
son) arrived at his mother’s. Miller
also grew up surrounded by horse
world and entertainment luminaries
at large, who often laid over at AlMarah while touring, during the
quarter century when the farm was
located near Washington, DC. And,
yes, Miller really did ride Roy
Rogers’ horse Trigger!
“Bazy was always full of innovative ways to bring Arabian
Horses not only into the mainstream of the horse industry, but
also into the mainstream of American life. And, she remained to the
end, a person who never bred a
horse to please anyone, but Bazy,”
reflects Miller, who’s devoted his
own life to preserving equestrian
arts and sharing horses with millions of visitors since opening Arabian Nights (www.arabiannights.com) for business on leap
day, February 29, 1988. “When I
built Arabian Nights 25 years ago, I
ECAHS NEWSLETTE R
wanted to make a showplace for
the herd of Arabian Horses that
has been part of my family for 70
years,” notes Miller, who had the
foresight to choose an Orlando
location just minutes from Disney World when it was still in its
infancy.
“It was once written that
Mother’s eye was always on tomorrow,” adds Miller, who
shares the talent and trait. He’s
in the final phase of developing
a new production for launch at
Arabian Nights this summer
(while the current show continues without interruption), on top
of keeping the Al-Marah flame
burning bright. Miller remarks,
“My mother dedicated the majority of her life to preserving and
improving one band of
horses. 2014 will be the 200th
year they have been a herd and I
am the 6th person in only the
3rd family to have the honor of
keeping them together.” Miller,
who owns Al-Marah LLC, explains, “I have been told they are
the oldest, privately-owned, continuously bred band of horses in
the world.”
Like their Arabian ancestors, travel lies in the future.
“Over the next two years, the AlMarah herd will once again relive its nomadic roots and migrate from Tucson, Arizona, to
Kissimmee, Florida,” says Miller,
who lives near Orlando. (Meanwhile, breeding
operations are continuing and
competition horses are making
their rounds on the show circuit.) “Jerry Hamilton, my
mother’s longest tenured employee ever (now 32 years and
counting) will help me keep
Bazy’s vision alive and create
horses she would be proud to
call Al-Marah Arabians.”

The largest family-owned
and operated entertainment
business in Central Florida,
Arabian Nights features a cast
of 50 horses and 20 human
performers in a 90-minute dinner show performed without
intermission, 365 days a
year. Founded by Mark Miller
in 1988, Arabian Nights is located in Kissimmee (Orlando),
Florida, just moments from
Disney World. Devoted to preserving equestrian arts, Arabian Nights is a “sister company” to Al-Marah LLC.
Established by the late
Bazy Tankersley, Al-Marah
Arabians celebrated its 70th
anniversary in 2012. Carl Raswan (author of the book Drinkers of the Wind) named her
Tucson, Arizona farm AlMarah (Arabic for “The Oasis”). Known for producing
national champions in all divisions to Tevis Cup contenders, Al-Marah continues
Bazy’s mission to produce the
best Arabians possible. Classic beauty, amenable dispositions and athletic ability, are
stated priorities for Al-Marah
Arabians.
