PRESIDENT’S REPORT
Hello to our Members and Arabian enthusiasts
We are thrilled to be able to send to you another printed version of the Arabianz.
This December issue has been very kindly printed for us by our member Angela O’Connor
of Desert Star Arabians. Angela is a Sales Executive for Fuji Xerox Christchurch and we are
extremely appreciative of Angela and Fuji’s generosity and time. If you require any printing
please have Fuji at the top of your list.
Council has also been incredibly appreciative of the generous offer from David Steward of
donated semen from the imported stallion, Jacob JCA (US) to be auctioned by NZAHBS at
some time in the future.
These two very kind offers just prove to me that we have a supportive Arabian community out
there and if we all pitch in and contribute in some way the path forward for the Arabian Horse
in New Zealand will be that much smoother.
Please put the 16 & 17 May in your diary now for the 2015 AGM as I know we will have a
great weekend in Taranaki!
As a Council we are looking forward to presenting a Year Book to our members, after our
AGM 2015 and to finalising details for the Judging Seminars.
Whilst mentioning our Council Members and Secretary I wish to sincerely thank them all for
their genuine enthusiasm and contribution over this past year.
MERRY CHRISTMAS and HAPPY NEW YEAR to you all.
Kindest regards
Melanie Barker
NZAHBS President
Merry Christmas
and a
Happy New Year
from the NZAHBS Council

YOUTH PROFILE
Danielle Chambers
Dani Chambers and Rosewood Zakee are a
combination new to the Arabian ring.
Dani is 13 years old, has been riding on and
off since she was four, but seriously since
she was nine. From nine to thirteen she
was on a variety of lease ponies as good
ponies are expensive to buy (for those who
don’t know $5000 gets you a very average
pony) and with an anti-equine father there
was no other way for her to ride. So she was
trained on a series of ponies with problems
ranging from the Welsh pony who wasn’t
really suitable for first ridden (he taught Dani
to steer and sit out bucking) to a Welsh/
Riding pony with very little experience (he
taught Dani to steer better, sit out bigger
bucks, how to get left lead canter in a pony
that only does right lead and how to get back
up off the ground and back on the pony), a
Connemara (how to hang onto a very strong
pony, how to train a jumping pony to do
dressage and how to bounce off jumps and
get back on the pony) and a Riding Pony/
Trakehner (how to sit a bolt, how to teach a
pony to jump and how to slow a very forward
moving pony down for dressage). All of
which has resulted in a 13 year old girl with
far more skills than most children who have
ready-made ponies bought for them.

While all this was happening Zakee was
sitting in the paddock at home, a nondescript little grey gelding by Redwood
Lodge Calais from Zelina. Zakee was
Zelina’s last foal as cancer caught up with
her a year later. As Dani got taller I decided
to start two geldings under saddle with the
idea that the easier of the two could be her
next pony after the Trakehner cross. Zakee
definitely fitted the bill, in spite of minimal
handling as he was growing, he took to
everything in a very sensible, calm fashion.
I got him to the point where both Dani
and I were riding him round the yard, and
then sent him to Jeff Hill to finish, as I kept
running out of time to work him and wanted
to be able to just jump on and go.
Jeff did a beautiful job, and Zakee has never
looked back. Within 6 months I had taken
him to his first dressage competition where
he placed 5th in his first test and Dani had
taken him to Roydvale PC jumping day
where he placed 4th overall and 1st for style
in a class of 45 entries. That was just the
start.
Their first show was the 2014 Nationals
(nothing like starting in the deep end!)
where they took out the Hi Point Youth
award over older competitors (Dani was
12 and Zakee 5). However showing is not
Dani’s main focus, apart from doing Arabian
sections/shows that have costume classes,
something she absolutely loves. They gave
a spectacular demonstration of a sliding
halt from a gallop in the costume class at
Canterbury show recently, unfortunately the
halt was a little too enthusiastic and Zakee
ended up sitting on the ground as Dani rolled
off his quarters! Neither was hurt, it just took
a while to get the grass stains off Zakee
before the ridden turnout.
Over Labour weekend the pair of them
showed just how versatile the Arabian can
be. On the Friday they were show-jumping
at the Rangiora A&P (5th both classes), on
Saturday they were showing in the Arabian
section, including costume – a first for both,
and a costume demonstration in the main
arena after the class (they both had grins on
after galloping around for 10 minutes), and
on the Monday was the ODE. Zakee may be
just a little grey gelding, but in the time Dani
has been riding him they have done more for
the Arabian breed than probably all last years’
National champions put together. The children
at Okuku PC love him, especially the wee girl
who got to ride him after she fell off her pony
and hurt her foot; dressage judges like him –
Soo Wells (grand prix dressage rider) thinks
he has real potential as a dressage pony,
Dani’s jumping instructor Tracey Kovacs thinks
he’s a dude, and I have had people approach
me at jumping competitions with the view to
using an Arabian stallion because they like the
way he jumps.
These two have only just started together,
by the time you read this they will have
competed at Courtenay A&P (another
costume class), jumped for their pony club
as part of the Windsor Trophy team (85cm
16 & under), trialled for the Canterbury Pony
Club’s dressage team to contest the National
dressage title (I’ll let you know if she gets
in), and probably at least another 1 or 2
jumping/dressage days as well. Next year
her focus will be on eventing at 80-95 cm
as she REALLY wants to be part of Okuku’s
Springston Trophy team. Dani says Zakee
has ruined her for riding any other breed
now, and she fast-talked/nagged and bullied
me until I bred two of my mares (Naahrah
by Naaddel and Rhiannon by Kandahar Ibn
Kazra) to my young stallion Al Farid (River
Oak Colorado from an Arabian Park Tycoon
mare) this season. Ollie hasn’t been bred
from before, so it will be very exciting to see
the babies, especially as Zakee was the last
foal I bred. Dani gets to choose which one
she wants (assuming we get two of course,
and that they will be tall enough for her) and
is looking forward to having her own baby to
handle right from the beginning. But in the
meantime, watch out for a tall blonde teen on
a chunky fleabitten pony, they intend to go
places.
Dani took over riding Zakee full time 3 months
ago, and since then they have been out most
weekends to either a competition or pony club.
Dani has continued with dressage, competing
in unregistered classes at present (I have
promised her she can register with ESNZ in
the new year as she wants to compete in the
jumping) usually placing and often winning, all
the more impressive when you realise they are
usually competing against adults. They have
just started level two tests and are enjoying
the challenge. More than anything Dani loves
to jump, and they are now show-jumping
at 85cm with regular wins and placings.
Eventing is where Dani really does well, as
the dressage training puts her in good stead.
Dani and Zakee have done one so far, View
Hill - the last for Canterbury until next season;
competing at 65cm, they won the dressage,
had a beautiful clear showjumping round and
apart from a slight reluctance on the part of
the Arabian to go into the very muddy water
hole (could have been anything lurking in it!)
resulting in 18 time faults, they would have
got round the cross country except for a minor
technicality of Dani missing a jump resulting
in their elimination. Now she can’t wait for
the next ODE, I don’t think she’ll make that
mistake again!

STUD NEWS
Anazeh Arabians
Things are starting to look up at Anazeh
Arabians following a saga of heartbreak and
disappointments which started with the early
death of my beloved Soolai’mon (AU) last
year. I found him dead in the paddock and
it just broke my heart to lose him. Things
were made even worse when I found that
Redwood Lodge Estonia (AU) was not in
foal to him and neither was Anazeh’s Aziza
al Sadat, so not only had I lost my stallion
but both mares bred to him were empty. I
then decided to sell Estonia on, as the
very reason for her purchase, to intensify
the Crabbet Silver family lines, had been
stolen away. I was also gutted that Aziza
was empty as she has developed a large
melanoma which may affect her ability to foal
in the future. So, all my breeding plans were
certainly thwarted there.
I then concentrated on preparing Aziza for
the CAHC Arabian Show and Anazeh’s
Indian Silver for the Nationals last year but
India remained footsore after a trim and
Aziza, ever the laid-back and calm girl, totally
horrified me by going over the front bar in
the float and gashing her head open. So
that thwarted my showing plans. Thankfully
Aziza’s face has healed up without a scar,
thanks to some skilful stitching by my vet.
10
Then it was winter and it rained buckets and
we all stood about in the mud. Thoughts
of moving to Florida and breeding goldfish
instead entered my head ... But things are
looking up now, and I have spent some
enjoyable days searching out a new stallion
for India who will be going to stud shortly. I
like foals to be born around December so
they miss out on the thunderstorms. I may,
depending on her growth spurts, look at
showing Soolai’mon’s daughter Anazeh’s
Radiant Silver (thankfully he left me one
foal). At not quite 3 years, she is currently
15.1 behind and 15 hands in front with big
gaps in her knees still and already I cannot
see over the top of her. She is going to be
very tall and her extended trot leaves me
quite speechless.
In the interim, in between judging
appointments, I am enjoying hacking out
on Gloria and have even brought 25 year
old Dora back into riding fitness which she
is obviously enjoying. We generally cover
between 15 and 30km on a hack – some
magnificent riding country round here with
the Rakaia River, the tracks along the shore
and round Lake Ellesmere, who could ask for
more. Well, maybe some hillwork would be
good ...!
Virginia Dean, Leeston
Arapito Stud
It has been a successful start to the season
for Arapito Stud. Woodlands Shamahl
has competed in the Arabian classes at
Waikato A&P Show where he received
Reserve Champion gelding in-hand and
Reserve Champion Purebred under saddle.
At the Waihi A & P Show he won Supreme
Purebred Arabian in-hand. After 2 years out
of work, Shamahl is loving being back in the
show ring.
Woodlands Natasha is living in Northland
with the Moselen family. Bailee Moselen
is doing exceptionally well on Natasha
and the pair have picked up a couple of
championships already this year and have
only been to a handful of shows. Natasha
has been an exceptional mare. Bred by my
mother, Julia Nash, I took her to our first
show when she was a 3 year old. Natasha
took me up the levels in pony club, training
level eventing and to level four at the New
Zealand Dressage Championship. With
Bailee, Natasha has found a new lease on
life at the age of 21.

Candy Lodge
Well no foals this year, but our Thoroughbred
float of 22 years has had a total rebuild
with only the floor being part of the original
structure. It was a massive job, but will now
last a lifetime, so thanks to my husband for
his hours of work and toil.
Unfortunately, due to minor ailments, our
show season has had to be significantly
reduced. We anticipated taking our
two palomino National Show Horses to
Cambridge for training in November with
the hope of them going to the Auckland
Spectacular and then the All Breeds show.
However, things are looking up and training
will resume with both horses entered in the
National Golden Horse Show in mid-January,
followed by the Arabian Nationals at Karaka
in March. Something to look forward to and
it was great that Angela Rogers was so
understanding of our dilemma.
Our one and only broodmare – Marhaba
Melika returned and was served by the
beautiful palomino American Saddlebred
“Rebel’s El Dorado” for another palomino
National Show foal to arrive in October 2015.
This is a phenomenal breed.
Riding Candy (Purebred Arab) and Shalimar
(Quarab) has been limited of late without
transportation, but we are fortunate enough
to have many farms to travel across in the
local area with all the farmers being friendly
and courteous. Riding on horseback is a
great way to identify any water problems,
which the farmers appreciate being advised.
Only one electric shock off a gate, but luckily
that was when I was walking the dogs and
not riding or dismounting from my horse!
Some say that electric shocks extend life, but
I am not so sure… I did manage to borrow
my friend’s float a few weeks back and we
took the horses to the beach for a great
ride with Candy flaunting her extended trot
to the max. The sand was fairly soft, so we
generally follow the tracks of bikes to allay
any fears of sinking sand. The river crossings
are always new and varied with storms and
tides changing the river course, but after a bit
of persuasion the horses manage to get their
hooves wet.
I am once again busy organising the 109th
Te Puke A&P Show and although there are
no Arabian sections, it is a great opportunity
to bring your young equines along for the
Led Sport Horse section or to ride in the Park
Hack rings. This is always a good opportunity
to display the versatility of the beautiful breed
and show the public the superb temperament
and agility of the Arabian horse. I hope
everyone has had a successful breeding
and foaling season and wish you well for the
festive activities and an exciting year ahead.
I am now competing one of Natasha’s 5
year old daughters, Woodlands Nadiah
(Woodlands Natasha x Denali (German
Warmblood pony)). Nadiah is very much
like Natasha and I often have to look
twice when I see her out in the paddock.
Nadiah is following in Natasha’s footsteps
and we will be attending North Island
Dressage Championships in the last week of
November.

Classic Arabians
Earlier this year Classic Arabians ventured
back into the show ring for the first time in
some years. We attended the Canterbury
All Arabian Show and the NZ Nationals. Our
beautiful mare CA Mohena Bint Espano,
being by Espano Estopa (World Champion
Colt) and out of the spectacular mare Bint
Mohena (Imp Germ/Aust). ‘Coco’ as she was
known to us, was just beautiful. One of the
glorious mares you can only dream about.
She was pure white and was without doubt
my best friend. She would have happily lived
with us in our tent, if we were living in the
desert and we would have happily had her
live with us. She was truly a member of our
family. Coco won 2014 Champion Mare and
Supreme Champion Purebred Arabian at the
Canterbury All Arabian show which was the
most fitting tribute to this incredible horse.
12
On the 26th May we came home from work
to find her dead in the paddock. It was one of
those times when you simply cannot believe
it is real. We had only bred her once for a
lovely gelding by Redwood Lodge Calais
(AU). We very much regretted not having
bred her more, but at the time I was having so
much fun riding her bareback and bridleless
and she had also become my son Jamie’s,
favourite horse. Jamie was not big into the
horses, but it was not uncommon to look out
the window and see him lying on top of her
with not a thing on her. No halter, no nothing
she would just happily continue grazing in the
paddock while he was draped all over her.
It transpired that Coco had growths on the
inside that we could never have known about.
The vets have no idea why, just one of those
things that sometimes claims our loved ones
way too soon. This event caused us to think
long and hard about what we wanted to do
with the horses. Funny how birth and death
does that. With spending so much time in
recent years travelling around the world to get
my Parelli Natural Horsemanship Instructor
qualifications, I had not really concentrated on
the Arabians at all. I was really just enjoying
the few we still had being CA Mohena Bint
Espano up until she died, CA Nazika Bint
Mohena (Redwood Lodge Calais x Bint
Mohena) and JA Gai Kascade who is retired
after a very long and successful endurance
and show career. We also have a TB gelding
and a Warmblood mare. I love all horses,
no question about it, but the Arabians will
always hold a special place in my heart. I
believe (and I am not at all bias…) they are
the easiest to train (and man have I trained
some horses), the most bonding and as we
all know, the most beautiful.
After much thought we decided we would
breed Nazika again (Coco’s ½ sister) and
maybe get another couple of Arabians to
breed and ride. So this past season Nazika
has been bred to Shaheen Al Saba (AU).
We love Thaqib and his progeny and thought
Shaheen would cross beautifully with Nazika.
When we went to drop Nazika off, Demelza
Hoogeveen, Shaheen’s owner, showed us
the other horses she had there, including her
two lovely yearling fillies by Shaheen. One
out the mare CA Melika Silver Fire (a mare
we had previously sold to Demelza) and the
other out of SS Shula. We loved both the
fillies. We ended up purchasing Sharifa DH
(below) the filly out of SS Shula. We think
she is stunning and she just loves people. I
think if she had a choice she would simply
move into the house with us. Everyone who
meets her loves her. We recently had a public
event at our property to open our new allweather dressage arena and facilities and
Sharifa wanted to meet everyone. She spent
the entire time leaning over the gate wanting
everyone to pat her. We look forward to
showing her and later on riding her. We look
forward to the future with our Arabians.
Sandy Stanway, Loburn
Desert Heritage Arabians
Quite a bit has been happening at the stud
over the past few weeks. Our yearling
filly Fiera DH (Shaheen Al Saba (AU) x
CA Melika Silver Fire (IIU)) attended the
Northern (Rangiora) A&P show and won
Champion Arabian. She is now on her way
to Angela Rogers of Total Show Training to
compete in the big North Island shows.
Our other Shaheen Al Saba daughter,
Sharifa DH (x SS Shula) was purchased by
Sandy Stanway and Tony Aitkin of Classic
Arabians. We never intended to sell Sharifa
but in this case the opportunities she will
have with Sandy and Tony made the decision
easier. We are thrilled that they have seen
the potential in Shaheen and his progeny.
We have seen the arrival of two filly foals; the
first out of SS Shula and by CRA Sihr Shahrif
(US), a stunning chestnut bred and owned
in partnership with Carmen Tuite/Talitha
Arabians. A big thank you to Jan and Ray
Wilson who donated the CRA Sihr Shahrif
service to a charity auction a couple of years
ago; Carmen won the auction and this filly
is the long-awaited (and made to order!)
result. The second filly foal is by Shaheen Al
Saba out of Euralea Fire N Desire, bred and
owned in partnership with Lee Cox/Euralea
Arabians. She is an exquisite grey full sister
to the much admired gelding Destino DH,
proving that this is an exceptional cross.
Please note we also have a new website
address, see our advertisement in this issue.

Desert Star Arabians
As most of you are aware we lost our
foundation stallion back in 2012, just over
two years to the day.
Simeon Shaanan (AU) (Asfour x Ramses
Malaka) was line bred to Nazeer and a
true representative of his desert heritage.
With the loss of Shaanan we are now
only standing three stallions, but with one
less it does make moving horses between
paddocks a bit easier!
I have become involved in Pony Club again
after many years and am currently the
North Canterbury Head Coach. It’s been
great for me to see how many Arabians and
Derivatives are competing in Pony Club and I
enjoy promoting the breed in new circles.
We wish all a Merry Christmas and a happy
holiday season.
Angela O’Connor, Loburn
N
EW
We are lucky to still have five of Shaanan’s
daughters and three sons (one stallion
and two geldings). All his shown progeny
have either been champion or reserve
champion. Desert Star’s Glitter has had the
most success with multiple champion and
supreme champion titles.
We have not bred for the past few years
and our youngest foals are now rising three.
While we haven’t made concerted attempts
at moving stock, breeding is on hold until we
do. We have broken-in and young stock for
sale.

Holly Farm
“Facebook” seems to pick up the daily here
and now, news among friends and family. But
this publication needs to be supported as it is
a very relevant reference. I often refer to back
issues, even more so, the printed ones. We
really need to keep it up, they only become
more valued and treasured as time goes by.
As we head towards the end of this year
“Holly Farm” is just a little excited about
the arrival of foals conceived late due to
clearance of ownership of Chaswyck Al Zayd
(AU) and the beginning of this new era… roll
on 2015 which will be celebrations of dreams
and efforts, being fulfilled and creating
opportunities to share and ensure the Arabian
horse returns to its rightful place. A place I call
home.
Who will be foaling first…? I suspect I could
be surprised but cannot wait for the result of
the breeding of “Zayd” to Simeon Shakova
(Prince Fa Moniet x Simeon Sukari). Or it
could be her blood sister Simeon Shafan
(Prince Fa Moniet x Simeon Simona) who has
made her way over from Australia carrying
a treasured opportunity, a foal by the Qatari
leased stallion Jadaan Al Shaqab. These
two mares are the only “Prince Fa Moniet”
Straight Egyptian daughters in the Southern
Hemisphere, his last born due to his untimely
loss and therefore the youngest in the World.
These two mares are the cornerstones, the
very foundations of the “Al Badi Straight
Egyptian” breeding program at “Holly Farm”.
Never one to turn down a friend’s request.
I want to thank Mark Milmine for including
“Holly Farm” in the management, promotion
and the standing at stud of his stunning
stallion DTA Sanadik’s Sensation (IIU)
(Sanadik Ibn Estopa x Halimas Princess
Annamotion). Only 3 years old but already
2014 Champion Stallion and Supreme
Purebred Arabian. He is serving mares and
being set towards starting under saddle by
next winter. I am so looking forward to riding
this horse and can imagine the quality he will
pass on to his much anticipated babies.
Having purchased “Sensation’s” mother
earlier in the year will make for a healthy
challenge for “Holly Farm”. Buying a proven
broodmare who has bred so well begs the
question if she will breed as well to a new
sire. "Princess" has been covered by “Zayd”
and looks to have settled in foal.
Also of late have been the finalisation of
the purchase of MW Tosca (DE) (Kubenic x
Nemara), what a powerhouse of mare and
breeding, Straight Russian bloodlines here
in New Zealand. I am so excited about this
addition to “Holly Farm”, to be able to further
infuse the proven racing, athletic substance
of the Russian State Stud can only benefit the
generations ahead.
Next year, 2015 is going to be full of
celebrations, how this will happen still needs
to be confirmed but be sure to be invited.
Casual visits are again returning and with a
little prior arrangement everyone is welcome.
As we all head towards Summer holidays,
school break etc… consider a visit to “Holly
Farm” see the babies and program which I
believe may be well established but is about
to enter a whole new level of wonderful.

Kashami Stud
We are a new Stud having joined the Society
about two years ago when we just owned the
gelding Helderberg Kalahari Sunrise.
Now, between my husband Tony and myself
we own the mares Bint Shahdira (AU), Bint
Bint Maysama (AU), PKA Shoshahnna and
lease Rayjan Salique and Dell Talia who is
retired from breeding but is a great riding
horse for me to plod around on.
We know it is unfair to have favourites,
but we can't help it when it comes to Bint
Shahdira and we and several other people,
can't wait for the arrival of her foal by
Chelleason Jullyani (AU) - this is sure to be a
beautiful foal.
If you are in the Manawatu, look us up, we
love to have visitors and we love to share our
lovely horses with others.
Catherine Enright, Feilding
So far this breeding season we have seen
the safe arrival of a colt foal for Rayjan
Salique by Escarda Mozambique (AU)
(pictured) – he is very elegant and tall and
we have named him Kashami Saleem
(pending).
We are still waiting for the foal from Bint Bint
Maysamma by Simeon Saraaf (AU) - this
will be our first Straight Egyptian foal for the
stud! Very exciting!

Kelaray Stud
The foaling season is upon us already,
and so far we have been graced with two
outstanding young foals. Both sired by RHR
Heir of Marwan (US). Simoen Seana (AU)
(Imperial Madaar x Simeon Sivan) gave us
an exotic filly and Bluegrass Made in Heaven
(AU) (D’amors Saabi Khan x Bluegrass
Love Me Tender) a rather big colt. Both
these babies are available for purchase.
Our other mares due to foal are Miracle of
Love (AU) and Deveron Airs n Graces (AU),
both of which are in foal to Gymnastik Star
and due December. Our Riding Pony mare
Willowcroft Chorus is due to Kolbeach Hollys
Masterpiece in January.
Recently we have added the mares
Brumarba Shai Dove (USA) (Simeon Shai x
Imperial Miriyah) in partnership with Dawn
Valley Arabians to the breeding programme.
Dove has a stunning filly at foot by Ansata
Nile Pharaoh (US) which is available for
purchase. Simeon Seana (AU) is currently
at Rhodium Arabians being bred to Simeon
Saraaf (AU), we are very excited about this
mating and can’t wait to see the beautiful
baby these two will produce. Bluegrass
Made in Heaven (AU) has been sold to
Australia, and will leave early 2015 to head
to her new home.

We recently imported our Arabian Riding
Pony colt (now gelded) Kelaray Carpaccio
(Concherto FF) while on his dam Rathowen
Sepia Shadings. Chino is now competing this
season in the led pony ring and his dam is
on lease to Sandhill Performance Ponies.
Internationally our stud has been doing
us proud with Kelaray Goddess of Love
(Gazal Al Shaqab x Miracle of Love)
recently competing at the Victorian Arabian
Championships to win the Supreme
Female of the show. She then went to the
National Arabian Stud show to win Reserve
Champion Junior Filly, which was a pleasure
to watch. A great start to Gazelle’s season
this year in Australia. We are looking
forward to her being shown at the East
Coast Championships and the Australian
Championships once again.
While visiting Mulawa Arabian Stud in
Sydney we also added the anglo mare Miss
Dior MI to the broodmare band. Miss Dior
is out of the elite Anglo mare Nalla Fate n
Fortune whom I have wanted a daughter of
for many years, and I am pleased I finally
had the opportunity. Miss Dior MI will be
shown this coming season for us by JH
Showtraining. Foals due for us in Australia
this season include Langtree Gold Portrait
in foal to Gai El Jullyen, and Aloha Hussars
Rose in foal to Echoes of Marwan. This will
be Echoes of Marwan’s first Anglo foal born.

KP Arabians
KP Arabians would like to thank all the
breeders of New Zealand for embracing RHR
Heir of Marwan (US). Heir’s first foals in New
Zealand have arrived and are nothing short
of amazing. With progeny in Saudi Arabia,
England, USA, New Zealand and Australia
"Heir" has gone global. We sincerely thank
Ms Kelly Mason of Kelaray International for
all her hard work and her belief in Heir of
Marwan. Here in Australia, KP Arabians’ first
foal of the season was born on the evening
of the 2nd November (below). A beautiful
Chestnut filly named Royal Afheir (pending)
out of our most treasured mare Bremervale
Charisma (Desperado x Bremervale Bey
Heart x Rave VF). Scarlette as we call her
is the full sister to the 2013 East Coast
Champion 2/3 year Filly - Charismatic
Heiress KP owned by Shirilee McEweno
of Riversleigh Arabians. Our second foal is
due in December out of Special Kaiy (US)
(Ghazal Al Shaqab x Special Treat). We
thank Mrs Kim Cox of Caramea Arabians
Queensland for this wonderful opportunity
and look forward to the impending foal.
Karin Panuccio, Queensland
seems to have flourished with the TLC and I
am happy to report that Regent has served
his two consorts namely: Sunny Brae Jasmine
(Czarak x Dellmount Jamil) and ZarethShahar (Quassa x Zhola). At time of writing,
neither mare has returned in season so we
are keeping everything crossed that we will
have a couple of foals next Spring. Lambing
and other farm activities have occupied my
time and I have had to content myself with
living vicariously. Through the marvel of
technology I can follow the exploits of our
homebred Arabians and those horses bred
by others by our stallions. Zeuxis (Quassa x
Zhola) and Bridgett James (below) made their
endurance debut at Cannington in November
and qualified in the 40km. Bridgett was full of
praise for Zook's performance and was still
riding high when she came home. Further
south, Jo Forrester and Kadin (Quassa x
Kizzy) persevered through atrocious weather
to win their first Open 80km at Mt Linton's
Sandy Point. While Sarah Walters and Mylor
(Quassa x Marigold) took out the open
40km. At a previous Mount Linton ride Jo
and Sarah had gone to the line in the Open
40km with Sarah finishing first by a whisker
and Jo second, 2:17:24 and 2:17:25 - only
one second in it. Sharing these good times
with our "extended family" is the reward for
breeding horses.

Life has settled down at Lawrence Arabians
since the arrival of the new stallion Pevensey
Regent (Arfaja Rococo x Pevensey Baybe)
from Australia in July. Poor Regent arrived
in North Otago at a time when the weather
was being most foul. I have had to keep a
close eye on him because the transition from
Australia to a New Zealand winter could have
knocked him back considerably. Instead, he

Desert Star’s Sheik El Shaklan
DESERT STAR’S SHEIK EL SHAKLAN (Sheikh) is a deep chestnut stallion standing 15.1hh
with a white star and two small socks. I remember meeting his sire, Eastwinds Axiom, not
long after he arrived in New Zealand and that was it for me. I had to have some of that blood
and took two mares to him: Sheikh’s dam, Hestbank Phebe, and Phebe’s dam, Cassini.
From the moment Sheikh took his first steps he looked like a colt and had a look-at-me
attitude. Sheikh has produced an exact 1:1 ratio of colts to fillies and has stamped all his
foals with height, lovely eyes and his outstanding temperament.
Sheikh has the most amazing large round dark eyes placed well on a typey broad Arabian
head. He has a well-balanced body with good bone and very short cannons. He tops this all
off with the most gentle, easy to handle temperament.
Sheikh has only been shown a few times, but has won Reserve Champion, Best Stallion, and
New Zealand National Top 3.
His dam, Hestbank Phebe, was a multi-champion and his sire, Eastwinds Axiom, was a multichampion and a New Zealand National Champion.

SS Farid
SS FARID (Farid) is a Straight Egyptian stallion who stands 15.2hh. He is eight years old and
has now greyed from his black foal colour.
I first saw Farid at the 2009 New Zealand National Show in the North Island. He came flying
into the ring and it was like his feet never touched the ground. All I could think was wow! He
was crowned the 2009 Reserve National Champion Colt in a large class of good colts. What
really convinced me that I needed him in my breeding program was meeting his family - dam,
sire and his full brother who was only a few months old at the time.
Farid is a tall, upstanding stallion who has the most amazing uphill movement. He has a
lovely masculine head with lovely large eyes.
We took him to two shows in 2014. He was placed Purebred Champion Stallion at the All
Arabian Show and then crowned New Zealand National Champion Stallion at the Nationals.
I am planning on breaking him in over this coming winter and am really looking forward to
riding him. We have only put Farid over one mare to date and the result is one of the best
fillies produced at Desert Star Arabians.
When your father is a New Zealand National Champion, your full brother is a New Zealand
National Champion and your grandfathers are United States National and European
Champions, you know you are bred to breed on.

STALLION PROFILE
Morroccan JayDee
MORROCCAN JAYDEE is a 4 year old stallion bred at Morrocco Arabians. He is the first colt
retained at the stud and has been bred with proven endurance and show lines on both sides
of his family.
His dam, Morroccan Jaylina, is by the show proven stallion Soolia’mon (AU). Soolia’mon
has produced show champions and endurance horses, such as JA Javan, a 3* qualified
endurance horse now competing in Dubai. Jaylina is out of the Bold Fyre (US) daughter JA
Janaya. Bold Fyre has produced many top endurance horses such as Morroccan Fyre and
Morroccan LAS Shilo both UAE exports, to name a few. Shilo also took home the Reserve
NZ National Champion Gelding show title in 2006.
JayDee is by Jacob JCA (US), who also holds great show lines. His sire Jake Jamaal JCA
has produced many ridden and in-hand show horses in the USA. Jacob himself was the
Reserve NZ National Champion Stallion in 2009. JayDee’s half brother JA Jericho has been
successfully shown, taking home Reserve Champion Gelding at the 2013 Royal A&P Show.
He is also now one of the first Jacob foals to be out competing in endurance.
JayDee holds many qualities of his lineage - solid build with flowing paces that cover the
ground effortlessly. His charisma and strong will give him the attitude needed to become a
great endurance horse. He has that classical Arabian type, with high tail carriage, arched
neck and classic Arabian head.
We were pleased to announce last month, the arrival of his first foal out of the champion
endurance mare AA Amberley. At 25, this is Amber’s last foal. She produced a tall, leggy
chestnut filly, showing a need to run already. She has many attributes of her sire, with her
dam’s feminine looks and sassy nature. We are hoping to get a few more foals from JayDee
before he himself begins his endurance career.
Morroccan JayDee is only at the start of his life and career, and we expect to see great things
from him and his progeny in the very near future. With his size and scope he will make an
amazing riding horse, and with his good nature will be a pleasure to have around for a very
long time.

There has been a revival and renewal of
energies, thank goodness. The above mares
(and gelding) have come through the winter
looking really well, although we did have
more snow post this September photo.
Except for the two rugged mares they are
all Earth Wind and Fire progeny. They are
a beautiful ‘family’ group, with many close
relations e.g. full siblings, having performed
well in the endurance field. The Deuss family
had Flight of Fancy and Pacifica, Kevin
James has Diam’id and Merma’id. There are
still three mares not in this group but related.
The young (relatively speaking at 9 years
of age) stallions, Xanthus (Coolinda Park
Kandydat x Coolinda Park Xarla) and
Pukaea (Elenbee’s R-Rated x Aramoana)
have very graciously accepted their very
erratic training for saddle work over the
last few years. They are so very different
in type and temperament, which keeps me
on my toes and learning constantly also.
An absolute delight actually. Love every
minute. Another ‘boring day at the office’
photo, however, that is that (October 2014).
(Pukaea says ‘the fence got my tail!)
As a heads up signal that Pegasus Bay
Arabians is on the move so to speak again,
Coolinda Park Khloe is infoal to Earth Wind
and Fire for a January foal. As the last foal
born here is now 7 years it has been a wee
while, and quite exciting. Earth Wind and
Fire is now 23 years of age, and has not
changed much except to slow down a little.
His daughters are an absolute delight to be
with.
The Pegasus Bay Arabian website is in for
an overhaul and a serious update, that also
has been a long time coming. So watch this
space, there will be a notification in due
course.
In the meantime hopefully work commitments
will reduce sufficiently to enable Coolinda
Park Lucja to come back in out of abject
boredom and resume saddle work. She
has just been the most very special rehab
teacher one could ever have dreamt about.
Here’s hoping I can pick up where we left off
a couple of years ago.

Our beautiful mare Inshallah Indiana (AU)
(Tommie x Inshallah Impulse) was kind
to us first time breeders, holding out and
having a daylight baby, born at 10.20ish am
on September the 25th 2014. Much to our
delight the foal is a much hoped for colt,
bay and born with the appropriate amount
of bling. Imported in dam he is by Inshallah
Arabians resident stallion Monarch Lodge
Ambition (Tommie x Pevensey Raida). He is
everything we hoped for and as expected,
being a double Banderol descendent and
also Inshallah bred he is a very upstanding
colt with presence to burn. He has a
delightful temperament and he has become
part of the family in no time. We can’t wait
to see how he develops and at this stage
things are looking promising that he may be
the horse who reintroduces the Banderol
lines to NZ, along with a few new Crabbet
lines. He has such an illustrious family
particularly undersaddle, so this will also be
his destiny. Waiting on confirmation of our
stud name and then we can announce his
pending name. The dream has become a
reality………..

Sandpiper Arabians
2014 began traumatically and tragically
for Sandpiper Arabians with the loss of
Gazaalia, our International Champion mare,
late in 2013 and then her mother, Gwinivere,
in April 2014. Both were lost due to laminitis
and it has been a hard learning curve.
However, we hope that the bad times are
behind us now and we look forward to 2015
with renewed enthusiasm. Our other English
mare, Jazaaria was clearly missing her
friends and so I decided to look for another
mare to keep her company and with the
intention of putting both in foal to Rooh Al
Reeh, our stallion.
28
Some time was spent in the search – I found
it difficult to think of replacing either of my
original mares but I saw some lovely horses
and thanks must go to the studs visited.
Bryan and I decided we needed to meet
the horses, rather than just look at pictures
and talk to breeders so we set off, firstly to
Oamaru where Sarah Hamer showed us
some beautiful horses and we had a great
time with her and her children. We also made
the acquaintance of the Stallion: Wind N
Fire (AU) – a very young 21! Sarah and her
family were helpful and informative. A great
place to begin. Thank you so much Sarah
and co for giving us such a memorable time.
I was very taken with a bay mare, Sahar
Park Shika, so had lots to think about.
Then we set off again, this time to meet
Janice and Ray Wilson in Mosgiel. We were
lucky with the weather and our journey had
the advantage of some great scenery. Janice
introduced us to Rayjan Elia, who I rather fell
for and eventually bought. Both the bay mare
at Sarah’s and Elia are by the same stallion,
CRA Sihr Shahrif (US) who stands at Rayjan
Stud. He is a lovely (and lively) stallion with
blood lines which I have been interested in
ever since I went on an organised American
Stud Tour with breeders from the UK. The
purchase was completed and she arrived
safe and sound. It took her a while to get
used to being stabled but she has settled in
well and she and Jazaaria are firm friends.
I will never forget my original mares but with
the purchase of Elia feel I can now look
forward to a very interesting future. The
adventure begins......

Supreme Arabians
The stud is now situated in the King Country,
on 1200 acres at Matiere, north west of
Taumarunui. The stud has a total of 30
Arabian horses, 7 stallions, 8 brood mares,
young stock and endurance horses in work.
The stud has always followed a strict
breeding plan based on old proven
performance bloodlines and the use of
line breeding to produce a consistent type
of base brood mare herd. The foundation
stallion was Four Winds Azahi (Waimeha
Eclipse x Four Winds Azahra), still well and
fertile at 24 years of age. He was crossed
with Four Winds Bint Nalani initially, and
currently with Waltercraig Catalina to give a
double Waimeha cross and double Crystal
Fire cross. The offspring were then bred to
E’arlia Jairim (Ralvon Pilgrim x Jacel) and
more recently his son Supre Nassir who are
both double Royal Domino bred. This was a
proven blend for performance in Australia.
The stud more recently has imported the
stallion Rivergum Dark Knight (Kyle x
Rowallan Dark Mist) from Australia. This
brought into the performance mix the
bloodlines of Count Manilla, another proven
blend with Royal Domino and Crystal
Fire. Also I wanted the Spindrift blood
through Delos, Sylvia and Poldark (Aethon
x Bettina). Reacquiring the bloodlines of
Bettina was just as important, as she is the
dam of Poldark and Khotan who have left a
performance legacy both internationally and
in New Zealand. Bettina is closely related
to Ngapa Joussif’s dam Ngapa Maid, both
being by Cephalus out of the full sisters
Copper Maid and Shermaid. Rivergum Dark
Knight is currently under saddle and will be
out on the endurance field this season.
30
The next and current step in the breeding
program was to acquire the bloodlines of
the Pure Crabbet horses I grew up admiring
in all the Australian Magazines before they
were all gone. These were the bloodlines of
Silver Moonlight, Greylight, and Baz through
their progeny Somerled, Sardonyx, Silver
Samerio, Fenwick Panache, and Arfaja
Danyon. With this goal the Stud has just
imported the pure Crabbet Stallion Prince
Eligani SPA (Binley Prince Iqbal x Eveeta)
(pictured below as a three year old). His
stunning dam Eveeta is by the famous
stallion Fenwick Panache.
We’ve also imported the pure Crabbet mare
Aleenah SPA (Elian SPA x Akeelah SPA), a
double Sarafire mare, who carries a double
cross to Sardonyx and another line to
Eveeta. She is in foal to the Sabino Stallion
Eliseo SPA (Arfaja Sarif x Eveeta).
The last purchase is the Pure Crabbet
Mare Inshallah Echo’s Rose (Inshallah
Silver Echo x Fenwick Rene). This brought
in another line to Baz who is the sire of
the brothers Somerled and Crenel and
she has two crosses to Greylight. She is
in foal to the stallion Silverfly SPA (Arfaja
Danyon x Hajarlee), a double Silver Somerio
(Somerled x Silver Doura (Silver Moonlight)
and Fenwick Panache bred stallion.
This combination will give the stud the
combination of bloodlines to continue its line
breeding and performance program well into
the future.

Waiora Farm
It has been a while since I have checked in,
but the last 12 months have seen a lot of
changes for me. For starters I have sold all
my small ponies to allow me to concentrate
on larger ponies and purebreds. Waiora
Black Latte has been gelded, and has grown
into a lovely ridden saddle hunter pony. His
new owners are delighted with him, and
even though he is just a youngster, he is a
huge confidence booster for his little rider,
we wish them all the luck in the future. Latte
has welcomed three foals in his last crop,
two adorable colts for Carole Pinkney at
Parklands Pony Stud, and striking black
overo filly for Starline Miniature Stud she is
expected to mature 14hh and will be retained
by her owners as a ridden pony.
secure a gorgeous yearling colt by him
as the future breeding partner for Khandi.
Bacchante Paparazzi is out of Bacchante
Evangaline, the dam of Renaissance,
Bacchante Arabian’s gorgeous upcoming
sire. If Paparazzi travels and settles well the
aim is to take him to the Arabian National
Championships and stand him to a select
outside mares next season.
So exciting times ahead, hope to catch up
with everyone at the upcoming shows, by
the sounds of it the Auckland Arabian Horse
Club has organized an amazing event for the
2015 Nationals at the NZB Karaka complex!

I purchased Rayjan Khandi (CRA Sihr
Shahrif (US) x Rayjan Heiress), from Ray
and Jan Wilson after she went National
Champion Junior Purebred for Rayjan
Arabians. She is a delight and constantly
blows my mind with how lucky I am to own
her, she is a truly beautiful filly. She will
have her North Island showing debut at the
Arabian Spectacular (NI Champs) then the
Arabian National Championships, With any
luck she will defend both her titles but win or
lose she is my darling.
For some time I have watched and admired
Saudi El Perseus, the Brazilian stallion in
Australia. I have been luckily enough to
Rayjan Khandi (CRA Sihr Shahrif (US) x Rayjan Heiress)
Merry Christmas
&
Happy New Year
Waiora Audacious Lady, my purebred mare
by CRA Sihr Shahrif (US) went Supreme
Champion at the Arabian Spectacular last
season, which was amazing for me, she is
such a special mare. She had tested infoal
to RHR Heir of Marwan (US), but as her
due date approached my worst fears were
confirmed with a scan, she had lost it at
some stage. This was devastating and saw
me make the very hard decision to sell her
rather than see her waste in the paddock
while waiting for an appropriate stallion to
breed her to. Lady has now moved onto what
I consider the best possible place for her,
and I look forward to following her progress.

Health & Safety for Equine Business by Ayla Ronald
New health and safety laws are expected to come into force 1 April 2015. These changes increase
obligations on everyone in a work environment. These increased obligations also come with
increased penalties. For worst case breaches of health and safety requirements, penalties are up to
$600,000 and 5 years imprisonment for individuals and up to $3,000,000 for corporate entities. Yes
that is six zeros!
With these reforms it’s a great time to update your health and safety policies and procedures to
ensure those penalties never affect you and more importantly to make sure people are kept as safe
as possible. The benefits of getting health and safety right include enhanced reputation, decreased
business costs through ACC levies and absenteeism, better work culture and most importantly fewer
injuries.
Everyone should keep in mind that if you control a workplace your health and safety measures
must protect any person entering the workplace. You need to consider individuals and their
experience when developing policies. This is especially important when dealing with horses where
the experience of a rider has a definite effect on a) the horse and b) the measures that should be in
place to protect both the horse and the person. Even a horse’s temperament will affect the measures
you take to keep everyone safe.
In all workplaces the best people to identify and implement health and safety measures are the
people who have the knowledge and experience of the workplace. This applies even more so in the
equine industry where people closest to a horse will know its temperament and vices better than
anyone.
There is an obligation to take all reasonably practicable steps to limit risks to health and safety. What
is reasonably practicable depends on the circumstances and the hazards involved. Determining
what is reasonably practicable means balancing the likelihood and possible consequences of an
accident, the knowledge of the person involved, the possible ways to minimize or eliminate the risk
and the costs.
Obviously younger or inexperienced workers in equine businesses need a lot more guidance than
people raised around horses. But with experience sometimes comes complacency so it is equally
important to remind people of best practice and make sure health and safety policies are followed.
From a practical perspective you should at least:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Have a robust health and safety policy which takes into account the particular circumstances of
the workplace in order to reduce accidents;
Have an accidents and near miss record and make sure it is used;
Perform workplace orientations with staff on their first day to ensure staff know and will adhere
to policies;
Ensure proper equipment is used;
Advise visitors of risks on arrival and especially before they interact with any horses or hazards;
Assess ability before anyone rides; and
Implement different levels of hazard control depending on a rider’s experience.
Each workplace is different and will require different controls but a solid health and safety policy is
an essential first step. We are here to help you comply with new health and safety requirements and
avoid any accidents, injuries and penalties.
