MARCH, 2014 P A G E 3 PShR Letter to ASAV Horse Owners

January 12, 2014

Dear Friends,

The Performance Shagya-Arabian Registry Board of Directors wishes the ASAV the best for the New Year 2014.

After many discussions with concerned ASAV members, it is agreed that only together we are strong. Alone or in little groups not affiliated with the ISG the horses are only a whisper in the wind. We have spoken with several Shagya-Arabian and part-bred Shagya-Arabian owners, mostly ASAV members, about the need to have their horses registered and recognized by the ISG. We listened to their concerns and questions and tried to find a solution within our bylaws.

Unanimously, the PShR has decided the following:

*To offer to register any horse with an ASAV registration for free until the 1. July 2014. *To waive the registration fee, but the horse owner must pay a Membership fee of $35(Year) *Purebred Shagya-Arabians will be registered in the internationally accepted Books, conforming to international standards. *Owners of part-bred Shagya-Arabians will be eligible for our register.

To promote the future of the Shagya in the US and Canada, we want to extend to you the opportunity to register your Purebred Shagya-Arabians and Part-bred Shagya-Arabians with PShR. The PShR invites you to add yourself and your wonderful horses into the ISG registry to strengthen and promote this precious Breed.

We all hope to hear from you soon.

Sincerely in the name of all PShR Board of Directors. Yours truly,

Anke Brander PShR President

P A G E 8 Inside Story Headline Svetlo Kastchiev

Our friend Svetlo Kastchiev died De- cember 24, 2013 from stomach can- cer. It is just as unbelievable for me to write this as I am sure it is for you read this sad news.

The loss of Svetlo is a tragedy on so many levels. The Shagya world lost an esteemed ISG judge with high standards and the knowledge of how to reach those standards. The Kabiuk State Stud in Bulgaria lost an excellent breeding manager; his knowledge is clearly visible in the horses present at this historical facili- ty. The PShR lost a valuable mentor and supporter. And on a personal level, I have lost talks with a horse- man I respected beyond words.

Those of us fortunate enough to attend the PShR Inaugural Inspection were given the unexpected oppor- tunity and unbelievable experience to learn from Svetlo. He pushed us to realize and appreciate the high stand- ards our Shagya bred horses should be held to and the achievements they can accom- plish. It was an honor to know and laugh with him.

On behalf of the PShR members our sincere regards to his family “Nazdrave to Svetlo” You will be forever in our memory and heart. Respectfully, Linda Rudolphi

MARCH, 2014 P A G E 9 Biography Reprinted from the 2013 PShR Inspection Program

Svetlozar Kastchiev is not only the Stud Manager of the Kabiuk State Enterprise in Bulgaria, he is also a National champion (10 times!) and twice was the Balkan dressage champion. He is the President of the East Bul- garian Horse Association and the Bulgarian Sport Horse Association, which are full members of World Breeding Federation for Sport Horses. In addition, Mr. Kastchiev is a national Dressage and Jumping judge and a FEI Eventing judge. The below picture is of Svetlo riding his East Bulgarian stallion Tarzan, Champions in dressage.

Mr. Kastchiev has been breeding Shagya-Arabian horses for over 20years and has bred over 300 Shagya -Arabian foals for Kabiuk. Kabiuk is the only surviving state stud in Bulgaria, originally established in1864 as a mili- tary stud for the Turkish army. In 2004 under the Livestock Husbandry Act, the Kabiuk State Stud and Stallion De- pot became a company owned by the state and governed by the Ministry of Agriculture in Bulgaria. Its key activi- ties are and the state- funded preservation of indigenous cattle and sheep. Breeds of horses include the Shagya-Arabian, the East- ern Bulgarian , Thorough- bred, purebred Arabians, Haflingers (used on the farm as work horses) and Shetland ponies. The farm is 2832 hec- tares (6998 acres) of tillable crop land and lush pastures. The Kabiuk State Enterprise is a leader in artificial insemination – Mr. Kastchiev is a key part of that success. His keen eye for genetics and his ability to breed one of the most successful bands of Shagya-Arabians led to the ac- ceptance of the Kabiuk Stud as an ISG member in 1998. The dynamic1988 Shagya-Arabian stallion Mefistofel (Metropol x Fregata by Fero), a result of Svetlo’s first year as stud manager, is an example of crossing athletic purebred Arabian bloodlines (Negatiw, Priboj, Moment, Faruk) with historic Shagya bloodlines (Parabel, Dahoman XLV) to achieve a strong yet elegant sporthorse. According to the book “Origin and Development of Arabian and Shagya-Arabian Breeds in Bulgaria” by Assistant Professor Iliyana Sabeva, Mefistofel is considered by some West- European specialist as the best Shagya in Europe at this time. In addition, the Shagya-Arabian mare Mezinka SA, bred in Kabiuk, was named the 2007 Best Shagya mare in Denmark. When visiting Kabiuk, it quickly becomes apparent Mr. Kastchiev has a natural eye, and is able to select up and coming youngsters with potential from the herd. We are fortunate and honored to have the lifelong horseman Svetlo Kastchiev join us for our first PShR inspection.

P A G E 10 PShR Meeting of the Board of Directors March, 26th 2014

Attendees: Kathy Johnson, Libby Fletcher-Henderson, Linda Rudolphi, Holly Kemmis, Julie Jackson- Biegert, Anke Brander The Minutes of the Board Meeting 8 Dec.2013 were reviewed. Linda motioned, Julie second. The minutes were accepted unanimous.

Holly – Treasurer- gave an financial update : The account balance is $ 2685.64 There are expected bills to pay proximately $ 160.00

Advertisement Zeunert: After considering the minimum costs of Euro 160.00 and the advertise- ment in German the Board members decided unanimous against an advertisement .

Membership fees for Stallions: The advised changes from Linda were seen as necessary . For the "PShR Policy for the Placement of Licensed stallions or mares from other ISG registries into the PShR" I added a 4th point:

4 - The owner of the stallion must be a member of the PShR in the year a mare is bred by their stallion. a - This fee may be paid by anyone on behalf of the stallion owner.

For the "ISG Policy for the use of Frozen Semen" I tried to clarify the 3rd point:

3...... due to the allowance of 2 test breeding between licensing and performance test comple- tion, in which the HB I stallion can be used for breeding and progeny will be recorded as if a Book I stallion.

Kathy second, the vote was unanimous.

Inspection: Steve told us we do have 6 horses (plus eventually 2 from Canada) for the inspection. We decided on a cut off date : 1.June 2014 to be able to organize for August an Inspection.

Becky’s position as Awards Chairperson (Point Keeper) is vacant: Holly will ask Chris and Marty Power if they would be willing to donate their time and talent. (Note: They said YES!)

KS Tradition LCR (Tribute): The Board saw it unanimously as fair to allow Tribute to be registered under the conditions of the offer towards ASAV members.

Linda moved to adjourn the meeting, Holly second.

Respectfully Submitted, Anke Brander, President

MAX

1999 Shagya-Arabian Stallion

Max is a coming 16 year old who served as Eric’s primary AERC, NATRC and MOTDRA competition horse for 9 years. He’s been pretty easy-going over those years, for a stallion. Clearly he is manageable or he wouldn’t have col- lected nearly 1500 competition miles along the way.

He has sired 18 foals, of which we have pictures of about eight, so feel free to get a hold of us if you want some baby

We offer field breeding, hand-breeding, frozen semen (preferred), and live cooled se- men, with live cooled by arrangement only since collection has to fit into our ride schedule. Historically, Max’s live cooled and frozen semen has worked very well.

2014 Stallion service fee: $500 + Mare owner pays for collection fee

The pictures are of him at around age 9. He has a marvelous canter that you have to see to believe. A really exceptional trail horse, Max taught us all about distance-riding, as novices we really didn’t know what we were getting into. As a rider, what I like best about him is his built-in ability to take care of himself on-trail. He taught me how and when to shut down on an endurance ride and when to push. He seems to pass this behavior on to his get, the owners who have kept in touch all say their Max
