M
y word for the New Year is “positive”! Why?, because that’s exactly how I feel about
what’s before us as a Region. (I’m not disheartened even though my first walk on New Year’s
Day landed me in the emergency room with a fractured heel). It’s OK and I’m OK. What
isn’t so great is my temperament, but I’m working on it.
The convention went well. The host hotel did a great job. The hottest topic was the committee restructure resolution. The board of directors in their (and I guess my) infinite wisdom
undid what we had decided in August and is now allowing everyone to have a good “think”
on it. Everything is to stay status quo and will be reconsidered at the next convention. The
positive from all of this was great discussion and good ideas.
The 2nd hottest topic was the new judging system that will be implemented in 2008. Breeding
and In hand classes at this time will be scored numerically. The horses will be compared to a
standard and no longer to one another. The hope is that this will boost participation and make
exhibitors feel that they now have an “even playing field”. I can share with you first hand
that the Education and Evaluation Committee is very hard at work developing a curriculum
that will make the transition process easier for all our judges and exhibitors.
We, as a region are beginning to accomplish big goals. When you reflect on our Arabian
Horse Faire, The Community Shows, the youth group, The Equine Affaire and our Horse
Show restructure. I feel extremely proud. AND this year will be even better!

Region One begins 2007 with a Hunt Seat Equitation Clinic on January 20th. It will be put
on by the Youth and held in Temecula at Green Acres Ranch. The clinician is Diane Grod
from Reno, NV. There will be 2 sessions. This first session is from 10-12, a youth meeting
and lunch will be from 12-2 and the second session from 2-4. The purpose of this event
is two fold. First, it’s an opportunity for our youth to receive top-drawer instruction from
Diane, who is highly respected in the Hunter division and is an “R” Judge in Hunter/Jumper.
Second, it will bring our youth together, where they can get to know one another and hopefully have a great exchange of ideas. If you are a youth member or thinking of becoming a
member please come enjoy lunch and attend the meeting. Hot on the heels of the clinic will
be our participation in the Equine Affaire, a big event with tremendous exposure for Region
One and the Arabian Horse.
It really seemed like such a short rest. Here it is January; with the start of 2007 horse shows
just a couple of weeks away. We are off and running! I wish the best to everyone in the
New Year!
See you in February,
Margaret Rich

ARABIAN RACING ASSOCIATION OF CALIFORNIA
NEWS RELEASE
January 4, 2007
The 2006 Arabian racing season ended on December 16th at Los Alamitos Race Course with the 1st running of the Flying Tiger Classic. The race was named to honor Robert J Raine, a former WWII Flying Tiger pilot, who passed away in
2005 after more than forty years breeding and racing Arabian horses. The race, at a distance of 1 & 1/16th mile, was won
by Mags Mad Max who is owned by Sam Vasquez of Texas, and was saddled by Bernice Corcoran, who was a trainer
for Mr. Raine’s Purple Sage(PS) Ranch. The 2007 racing season began after a very short break on December 28, 2006
at Los Alamitos Race Course.
In January the Daughters of Desert Oaks and Drinkers of the Wind Derby for 4 year olds will be contested at a distance
6 furlongs on the 27th at Los Alamitos. These are the two richest races contested in California with a guaranteed purse
of $75,000 and will draw the best four year olds from around the country. A no host cocktail party will be held on the
balcony at Los Alamitos. The cost is free with a 2007 membership or attendance at the Banquet on Friday or $10 if
purchased alone. On Friday the 26th ARAC will hold its annual Awards Banquet to honor the horses and horsemen of
the 2006 meet. Anyone interested in attending should contact the ARAC office at (714) 820-2718. The cost is $50 per
person/$80 per couple and includes a 2007 ARAC membership. This is a great place to mingle and learn about Arabian
racing from those involved first hand.
The new Board of Directors of ARAC, under the chairmanship of Leslie Smith, are preparing events for the 2007 season which will include a new owners seminar to be held in conjunction with the running of the Region I Cypress Open
Stake tentatively scheduled for April 28. More information will be made available as the time nears. Look to the ARAC
website, www.arac.org for upcoming and current events and the Los Alamitos website, www.losalamitos.com, for current racing information.
See you in the Winner’s Circle!
A Message From Our Youth Director
I have been really busy these past few months.
In September, my mother and I volunteered at
the AHA Region Championship Competitive Trail
Ride in Ramona. We came down a very narrow
road into a valley. There were a lot of cows and
wild turkeys. For this event there are two judges,
one judges the horse, and the other judges the
rider. I weighed the rider and their tack. This
weighing helped categorize the rider, i.e., heavy
weight or light weight. My mother helped take
respirations at the checkpoints. I had fun camp-

�����������������������������������������
ing and helping at this event.
The youth director meeting was at US Nationals
in Louisville, Kentucky in October. There were
a lot of things that were discussed at this meeting—delegates, youth activities, fund raising,
and membership. All of these issues will be
discussed at the Region One Youth Meeting in
January. I also attended the Rancho Club Youth
meeting directed by Tami Martin. She taught
everyone how to fix your hair for a show, and
that was a lot of fun.
�����������������

��� ��� �������
The Arabian Affair was in November. That was
great. About 1500 people came. There were
demonstrations and special events. I helped at
the Paint-A-Horse booth.
Also, I have been organizing the clinic with Diane Grod and the Region One Youth Meeting.
At this meeting the issues at convention will be
discussed. We will also talk about youth judging,
scholarships, delegates, and meet club youth
advisors. There will be food and raffles. I hope
that you can attend, meet other youth, and have
a good time.

Arabian Horse Association Courts
New Market at Major PGA Tournament
In an effort to assert its credibility as an attractive partner for potential corporate sponsors, the Arabian
Horse Association (AHA), headquartered in Aurora, Colo., has acquired a corporate tent on the coveted
18th green at the prestigious FBR Open Golf Tournament in Scottsdale, Ariz., from January 31-February 4,
2007.
Dubbed The Greatest Show on Grass, the FBR Open attracts 540,000 international golf fans to this favorite winter playground which is also the site of the venerable Scottsdale Arabian Horse Show and the location of many notable Arabian horse breeding and training operations. In a never-before opportunity, AHA
will host a corporate tent alongside Baird, Bank of America and other corporations, promoting the Arabian
horse experience and lifestyle to visitors and guests.
The philosophy behind this new approach to garnering sponsorship attention is best expressed by AHA
Executive Vice President, Gary Zimmerman, who came from the corporate world to head up AHA in 2006.
“The FBR is a perfect venue in which to introduce people to icons of the Arabian horse industry, who, in
many cases, are or have been corporate executives themselves. This environment will be exciting for
those invited to the parties that are planned because they can experience the power, beauty, speed and
intelligence of the Arabian horse up close and comprehend the caliber of product that is the Arabian horse
lifestyle.”
By invitation only, qualified potential partners and business owners will attend evening events hosted by
several Scottsdale farms at their spectacular facilities. Here is where each farm will showcase champion
Arabian horses in their own unique style while guests enjoy wine, fine food and each other in the company
of amicable Arabian horse enthusiasts.
Major sponsors include IntraCoastal Title Agency, LLC., Dealer Direct Sport Chassis, Arabian Horse
Source, Bank of America, Baron Realty, North Arabians, Brookville Arabians, Los Cedros and Shada Arabian Sanction and the Schall family.
Others who have come on board to support this inaugural event include Bisch Training, Bestovall Arabians, DayDream Arabians, Foxfire Arabians, Toskhara Arabians and Zia Graphics. Supporters receive
Corporate Village passes to the event as well as invitations to all evening parties.
The AHA Corporate Village environment offers premium location, exposure and exclusivity and will be
nestled on the lake that borders the 18th green. It’s an opportune and relaxed environment in which to
meet potential clients and indirectly promote the Arabian horse.
The FBR Open sports the largest crowds on the PGA TOUR and has gained legendary status for being
unlike any other golf tournament. Besides the exciting golf played by the likes of JB Holmes, Phil Mickelson and Vijay Singh on the challenging TPC Scottsdale course, this tournament attracts the biggest
galleries on the tour. The Thunderbirds, official hosts of the Open since 1939, have turned an ordinary golf
tournament into a community event and raised close to $46 million for Arizona charities. The 2007 edition
will mark the 72nd playing of the Open, and the fourth as the FBR Open, making it one of the five oldest
events on the PGA TOUR.
