ERAHC Encourages Competition ERAHC started 24 years ago primarily as a club for breeders of Andalusian and Lusitano , with the intent of promot- ing these breeds. At the time, they were a rarity in the U.S., but it’s a sure sign of the success of these pioneer breeders that ERAHC and similar organizations in the country now see at least as many “pleasure owners” at shows as we do breed- ers. After all, why breed horses unless people are going to buy, ride, and show them? In 2007, ERAHC’s Virginia Classic breed show became a USEF regional championship show. That means those showing get double points towards national awards. Of course, it also didn’t hurt that the National championship show was held in the East for the first time last year. So it should come as no surprise that there are ERAHC members high in the 2015 standings for USEF Horse of the Year (HOTY) Awards. Well, Rosalie Wenckoski did it again this year! She and Hombre Araña again took 1st Place in the A/L Amateur West- ern Pleasure division! And her trainer Mike Schmidt rode Hombre to 2nd Place in the A/L Working Western division too. Not far behind is our own vice president, Elizabeth Moros- ani, with Sonrisa TLM. They took 2nd place in Half-A/L Open and Amateur divisions and 3rd in Half-A/L Specialty. Long-time member Rose Watt and Sincerrey Santiago took 3rd in A/L Open . Other ERAHC members placed in the top 10 in A/L and Half A/L national placements include: • Manuela Klecz/Deco – 5th in A/L Horse • Craig Roberts/Carinosa GAF – 7th in A/L Halter Horse • Cynthia Roberts/Duarte GAF – 5th in Half-A/L Halter Horse • Cynthia Roberts/Nothing Toulouse – 8th in Half-A/L Halter Rosalie Wenckoski won another 1st Place HOTY Award!

The riders, all dressed in period attire, had impeccable form and rode with such a light rein. To be able to see it all in person was beyond belief! It felt at times like we had to be dreaming! The director of the school is (as are many of the riders) a personal friend of Bento’s, and because of that we were invited to go the stables afterwards. This is a very special privilege and we were very grateful to have that opportunity. The stallions are kept in stalls and get no turnout for long periods of time, so their diet is managed very carefully (with advice from an facility in Kentucky, no less). In order for them to get some fresh food each day, their midday meal consists of about 5 lbs of whole carrots placed in each feed tub. That was an amazing sight all All photos by Jeanne Bond except as noted. Jeanne All photos by

After flying all night and a 2-hour stopover in Madrid, we arrived in Lisbon, rented a car, and eventually managed to find our hotel (with help from the Archangel Michael). We stayed in the room long enough to set down our suitcases and change clothes, and immediately got a cab to the train station for a trip to Azambuja to go . We rode for a couple of hours up into the mountainside and enjoyed incredible views of the surrounding country. Our horses, Lusitano mares, were great on the trail and navigated the terrain effortlessly. It was a great ride. By the time we got back to the room, we were pretty well

Spring—Page 3 Hoof Prints Spring—Page 4 Hoof Prints We had time to walk around the village that first day, take some pictures, and even do a little shopping in the local hardware store that carried all sorts of inter- esting items. We made several purchases—including an umbrella, since it was starting to rain. However, the rain didn’t slow us down one bit. The next night was Bento’s party in Serpa, a gather- ing that featured 180 of his closest friends! We knew a few of the people there from our previous visits to Portugal, but we were delighted to have the opportu- nity to make some new friends as well. The party was preceded by a lovely mass at the Catholic Church nearby. It was very special to be a part of it all.

Spring—Page 6 Hoof Prints we managed to find our way around without much difficulty. Ancient walls surround wonderful old buildings and narrow cobblestone streets, all of it just fascinating. There were lots of little shops to roam through, and so many interesting things to see. Our Portuguese was sketchy to say the least, but merci- fully many of the people with whom we interacted spoke some English, so we managed really quite well. We bought a few treasures to take home as a reminder of our trip. But most of all we just savored every moment: the friendliness of the people, the picturesque villages and cities, the magnificent views of the countryside, the interesting food and excellent wine, and of course, the incredibly beautiful horses.

So if you know either of us, you must know we each came home with several bottles of Padre Pedro. We had some time in-between the festivities and horse events to do some wandering on our own. We visited the cen- turies-old cities of Serpa and Evora, and thanks to Janet’s GPS,

A new equine sport has stirred the imaginations of horsemen across the country. It is called , a sport that has grown out of the varied traditions of disciplines across the globe and through the centuries. Almost every country from China and Mongolia to Hungary, Arabia, Europe, South America, and the good ‘ol U.S. of A. have traditions of livestock herding from horseback. , reined cowhorse, and cutting horse competitions as well as and are sports that grew out of these traditions. This newest sport originated in Italy and has been very popular first in the Mediterranean countries, but it has now caught on in the rest of Europe and has crossed the Atlantic to the western hemisphere. We first saw videos of Working Equitation at the Eastern Re- gion Andalusian Show in 2003, brought by Andre Ganc from Brazil. We watched as a Lusitano ridden by a Portuguese rider in Campino-style attire blazed through the speed-phase ob- stacle course, and we were hooked! llo, Lusitano, and quarter horse.

Tonico do Top was imported nine years ago by Lin- da and Joe Denniston, Cedar Rowe Lusitanos, with the goal for Felicitas von Neumann Cosel to train him to Grand Prix. Not only did he become a Grand Prix horse, he competed at that level for four years. Beside many other championships, he won the BLM Grand Prix four years, and the BLM Grand Prix Freestyle three years in the row. In 2016, he was Grand Prix and Grand Prix Freestyle Champion at the Andalusian Nationals, and he won the All Breeds Award in all levels in which he competed.

But his biggest accomplishment has been giving 150%, with his great heart and attitude, all the time.

His charm and correctness landed him on two book covers, and on the cover of Dressage Today, Tonico twice. His journey to America from Brazil, to his fi rst com- petition, was a three-part article in Dressage Today, as well.

Harmony and beauty made this wonderful 15.3 Lusitano do stallion a crowd favorite for many years. It showed when the crowd gave him a standing ovation after his “Last Dance” that earned him the GAIG Grand Prix Freestyle Championship for the second time. There was not a dry eye in the house for his last appearance.

Spring—Page 10 Hoof Prints holding the reins in only one hand.* This is due to the frequent need for a free hand to do other tasks involved in stock and field work. Another unique aspect of the sport is its emphasis on a high degree of collection, again related to the need for the horse to have agility and precision of movement in field and livestock handling conditions where footing can be tricky and responses often must be instantaneous. The rider is meant to appear balanced and confident, giving invisible signals to an obedient, willing horse. A good example of the difference between working equita- tion ease of handling and the usual trail class is to compare the approach to an obstacle such as the bridge. In the trail class, the horse is expected to lower his head, inspect the ob- stacle, and then carefully cross it. The WE horse stays collected and marches across the bridge in a businesslike fashion as if it weren’t even there, completely taking the obstacle in stride, and on to the next job. He gives the appearance of saying, “Yeah, I got this!” Andre Ganc told me that the two things you really need your horse to be good at in preparation for this sport are the flying change and the canter pirouette. This is because the working stock horse must “stay with” his rider and work quickly and assuredly around obstacles and livestock with a minimum of “muss, fuss, and bother.” There isn’t time to slow to the trot and change leads around the poles, so you link flying changes. The barrels require you to almost canter in place while you pirouette around them. Now, there are different levels of test for beginner horses and riders, and the discipline is taught first at the walk; even the cow work is taught at the walk. Speed comes with repetition and practice, as the aids and timing between horse and rider develop and improve.
