One need not look far for inspiration. Itcavorts on tiny foal hooves in the spring,thunders through the pastures as herdsplay in the summer, glows from the roundbarrels of mares in their last months ofgestation, and nickers in the cold winterevenings as one wanders down barn aisles.Our horses so often seem to encourage usto live with greater nobility, if we are opento the power of their suggestion.

One inspirational story came to myattention last summer, as a result of anIALHA Facebook post about the U.S.Para-Equestrian Association earmarked tobe the beneficiary of 50 percent of theprofits from the IALHA’s 2011 National

Show. A member wrote to suggest that we follow up on the story of Susan Treabess, whoplaced 10th overall in the 2010 World Equestrian Games Para Dressage Championships,and recently had started training with Fugitivo XII, an IALHA-registered, FEI-level dres-sage horse with pure Spanish heritage.

This story, involving the joining of an incredibly talented horse, a gifted para-eques-trian, and a generous owner committed to doing what she can to help the two of themfulfill their quest to represent the United States in international competition, is bothinspirational and worth sharing.

Terry Waechter of Watchman PRE Horses sees herself as the guardian and pro-tector of the magnificent horse, Fugitivo XII. This imported stallion already hadearned accolades in the ANCCE and USDF worlds when he came into her life in2010. When the opportunity to purchase this stallion – one of the few horses in theUnited States that has attained Qualified status in the Spanish studbook – becameavailable, Terry could not resist.

“I wasn’t sure exactly what his path would be, but it soon became apparent that des-tiny was playing a part,” she says.“Susan contacted me to ask if I would consider lettingher train and compete on Fugitivo XII with the goal of being selected to represent theUnited States in international competition, and a goal to be selected to compete withhim at the World Equestrian Games and Olympic events.”

Determined to “do right by the horse,” Terry agreed. Fugitivo XII went into full-time training with Susan, and Terry began working to raise funds to help offset thecost of the team’s national campaign to earn a place on the Paralympic team. Thisquest led her to donate 15 breedings to Fugitivo XII , with all proceeds goingdirectly to the U.S. Para-Equestrian Association, earmarked to help fund Susanand Fugitivo XII’s Quest for the Gold.

She reduced the stud fee, normally $3,000, to $1,800 for a limited number of book-ings earmarked for the fund-raising campaign. When Terry learned that I wanted toshare Fugitivo XII’s story with IALHA members via this President’s Letter, she went one

step further, offering to discount the price to$1,200 for up to three breedings, if the per-son contacting her mentions this letter.Because the proceeds go entirely to the U.S.Para-Equestrian Association, members mayeven be able to deduct them on their taxes. Ifnobility, equine and human, does notinspire, perhaps tax savings might! ◗ AM

A look back to the origins of the International Andalusian andLusitano Horse Association

EDITORS’ NOTE: The following is an excerpt from a historical document on the beginnings of theInternational Andalusian and Lusitano Horse Association, compiled by Nadine E. Tilley. Tilleydiligently researched and prepared an informal, two-part composition on the association’sorigins in an effort to provide insight into the organization’s rich history. A copy of the entiremanuscript, with information through 2000, is housed at the IALHA office in Birmingham, Ala.

In 1964 when horses started arriving from the Iberian Peninsula to the United States,the American Andalusian Association was formed by Mr. Neil Dougall and Mr. GlennSmith. The control to the documentation of these horses came under this private reg-istry, and the tracking of horses’ heritage/bloodlines was verified by a full set of stud-books purchased from the Spanish government in 1963 by Mr. Dougall. These records,maintained by the Spanish army, would be the basis for an official registry in the Amer-icas. To our knowledge, all horses imported into the United States were traced to theserecords before they were recorded with the newly formed Association, which was incor-porated in New Mexico on April 30, 1966.

After 13 years of recording these horses and as importation numbers increased, itbecame apparent that it would be prudent to create an association of members to pro-tect the integrity of the horses, as the American Andalusian Association was a privatecorporation under the control of Mr. Smith.

In May of 1977 at the invitation of Mr. Gabriel Alarcon of Mexico, a delegation fromthe United States that included Greg Garrison, Ray Ellen Garrison, Pat Garrison, BurtSugarman, Carol Wayne, Mory and Ann Ohrel, and Johnny Mitchell convened in Mex-ico to discuss creating an International Association.

This new association, the International Andalusian Horse Association (IAHA), wasformed with Mr. Greg Garrison as its first president. The registry was left with Mr.Smith, but with an understanding that no horses were to be registered, unless they weremembers of the new association. The original agreement was that there would be a feeof $100 charged, of which $85 would go to the association and $15 would go to the reg-istry as its fee. However, Mr. Smith would not adhere to the association’s rules of registry,so, 18 months after the formation of the IAHA, another conference would be held. Thevenue, again, was Mexico City, and the international breeders/members who attendedwere Bruce Steggles, Jan Carver, Ray Williams (from Australia), Marieta Salas (a residentof Spain and the United States, and the daughter of Don Pedro Salas Garau, one of themost prestigious breeders in Spain), Enrique Alvarez, Edith Evans, Chandler Cowels,Diane Rossi, Greg Garrison, Ray Ellen Garrison and Pat Garrison. Glenn Smith and hiswife also were invited to attend, but they were detained and did not arrive at the confer-ence until after it had ended.

At this conference, it was decided that the International Andalusian Horse Associationwould file for a tax-exempt status and would have a registry owned fully by the member-ship of the IAHA. Looked upon as the most important asset of the IAHA, the registry wasto operate as separate entity from anyone who might have personal interest at the core. It

would take almost a year, but the first StudBook was distributed to the membership inJanuary 1980. The membership, at thattime, was 75 members, with Greg Garrisonas president. Mr. Garrison would lead theassociation in this position for the nextthree years. ◗ AM

HOW HORSES ARE HELPING HEAL

THE WOUNDS OF TRAUMA

BY CAROL M. STOCKTONBY CAROL M. STOCKTON

A recent issue of Andalusian Maga-zine focused on the versatility ofthe Andalusian horse. Well, here’sone more skill you can add to thatroster: equine-assisted psycho-therapy (EAP). EAP is an emergingbranch of the field of “experientialpsychotherapy,” which uses uncon-ventional settings and situations totreat patients with a whole rangeof mental illnesses.

EAP works by using horses as metaphors for thetraumatic situations a person has experienced.Hors-es offer an advantage, in that they do not communi-cate verbally – that is, they cannot “say” one thingand do another. In addition, it is virtually impossible to make a horsedo something it does not want to do. One must establish a relation-ship with a horse in some way before the horse will cooperate, andit must be done non-verbally. Since many patients of psychotherapyhave problems honestly expressing what they feel, it is a real advan-tage to have to act out something instead.

The most recent target for EAP is our soon-to-be flood ofmilitary personnel returning from combat. My involvementinitiated with a writing project for my job with a militaryhealth group, which led me to the Military Services project ofthe Equine Assisted Growth and Learning Association(EAGALA).


EQUINE THERAPY

EAGALA is one organization in an almost microscopic groupmaking an effort to legitimize and regularize EAP through rigor-ous training and certification requirements. EAGALA just startedto boost the Military Services program in early-2011, in responseto the growing number of military men and women returningfrom combat with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder(PTSD) or some other mental disorder.

As an aficionado of the Andalusian horse,when I learned about EAP, a first thought wasthat Andalusians would be good at this, giventheir close bonds with people. After participatingin an EAGALA Military Services workshop inVirginia, it was a short hop to interviewing a psy-chotherapist in California whose favorite partnerin psychotherapy is an Andalusian mare namedGraziella, affectionately known as Gracie.

Dr. Rob Magnelli, a clinical psychologist,has eight years of experience using EAGALA’smethods with children and adolescents – somuch, in fact, that he and his wife, Nancy, arewriting a manual that includes exercises fordealing with high-risk boys and girls – as wellas adults and families.

Gracie is a 12-year-old Andalusian mare whowas given to Rob about two years ago. Since then,according to Rob, “She lifted our program toanother level.” Gracie’s special value as a therapyhorse is that she offers feedback clearly and con-tinuously – no need to guess what she is “saying”when she communicates something. In addition,she is extremely keen and attuned to people, moreso than most horses. This is an attribute to whichowners of Andalusians can attest. In fact, Rob toldme his dream is to breed his own collection ofAndalusian therapy horses.

Rob has worked with many abused childrenwho have become shut down. Nevertheless, whensuch children arrive, Gracie is the first of the hors-es to approach. She watches for any feedback, andwhen she senses respect, she comes close, lowersher head, and stands still. Where horses, in gener-al, have the ability to draw out people’s issues,Gracie “does that in spades.” She simply seems tosense things before a patient even does anything.She refuses to cooperate with someone who hasrelationship problems until the person learns howto relate to her. If she senses that a person is notsafe, she takes off immediately and dramatically.

Conversely, the more respectful a person is, themore easily she will let that person approach her.And she is demonstrative when she senses some-

thing, even magnifying her display, if needed, to makeher feelings evident. She is nurturing and gentle whenneeded, but if a patient is not working in a positivedirection, she simply won’t interact at all. However,

she is extremely forgiving and will respond to any action in thedirection of respect and honest interaction.

Rob also has worked repeatedly with children from dangerousand violent situations who develop boundary issues. Rob andGracie worked with one young man – for convenience,“Joe” (not

WON’T INTERACT AT ALL.

pictured) – who was closed in and emotionallyshut down, although he masked this verbally. Ini-tially, Gracie would not let Joe get close to her, butshe would turn and look at him directly. As herelaxed, though, she began to move closer to him.When Joe sighed, she sighed. Later, when Joe hadlearned to be more open and “present,” she wouldfollow him easily on a lead line.

One session with Joe involved learning torespect boundaries. Joe had to create a space withvarious objects to form physical boundaries, andthen bring Gracie inside the space and keep herthere. At first, when Joe was frustrated and excit-ed, Gracie refused to even enter the space. Whenhe became coherent and respectful, she followedhim in and remained within the space, even whenJoe stepped outside it.

The next step was to introduce “distracters”lying outside the boundaries. In Gracie’s case,some flakes of hay had labels attached, each adescription of one of Joe’s problems, such asdrugs, alcohol and bad friends. Joe then had tokeep Gracie inside the boundaries of the space, withouttouching her (representing respect), and away from thetemptations lying outside. Incredibly, the one flake of hay she

found most tempting was the one labeled with Joe’s mosttroublesome distracter. She was very dramatic, throwing herhead and mane, looking back and forth between Joe and thehay, yet respecting Joe’s body language requesting her to staywithin the boundaries.

An extra bonus for Rob, who is located in California, isthat when Hispanic children learn about the origin ofGracie’s Andalusian breed, they are eager to work with herand speak Spanish to her. Another Andalusian bonus is thebeauty of the breed – even timid children are attracted toGracie’s appearance.

Gracie’s Andalusian sensitivity and intelligence have pre-sented some interesting challenges, too. Rob’s programincludes specific exercises for each of various situations. She

learned the exercises with just two trial sessions, so Rob wasworried that she would just go through the exercises by rote.In fact, she seems to sense when a person has a particularproblem and goes through the exercise, focusing on the issueat hand, in a manner that directly reflects how the patient isdealing with the issue during the exercise.

In one exercise with six children, some ofwhom were timid with horses, she was to be ledby them as a group, with each child holding on toa single piece of yarn attached somewhere on herhalter. When the children pulled in differentdirections or stepped in front of her, she patientlystood still. When they worked as a group to giveher a consistent signal, she moved as they asked.In other words, for the children to get what theywanted, they had to learn to work as a group.

If you know Andalusians at all, by now youhave recognized that their sensitivity, intelligenceand ability to communicate qualify them espe-cially for this type of work. But this doesn’t meanthat you can haul out your backyard retiree andinvite anyone to pay a visit to be relieved of his orher emotional issues. Programs such as EAGALA’s(and there are exceedingly few) provide specifictraining for professionals – with specific guide-lines of practice, certification, continuing educa-tion, and peer review – before a practitionerbegins using EAP. In addition, an EAGALA treat-ment session requires the presence of a licensedpsychotherapist and a horse professional, bothtrained by EAGALA.

And, you may recall from the beginning of thisarticle that EAGALA stands for “Equine-AssistedGrowth and Learning Association.” The organiza-tion began, in fact, with a focus on “growth andlearning,” and equine-assisted learning is a prac-tice used to both help learning-disabled individu-als and address the development of life skillsbefore a person acquires the need for recuperativepsychotherapy. EAGALA is taking this to anotherlevel, with the development of pre-deploymentresilience in military personnel to help prevent theemotional trauma they may have to face. Ourrecent experiences have made us hyper aware ofthe impact that military combat can have onmental health, but with the positive result thatmilitary groups are finding ways to provide ourwarriors with the ability to resist the forces thatcause mental trauma. Equine-assisted learning(EAL) may provide one avenue toward develop-ing the needed resilience.

For more information about EAGALA, visitwww.eagala.org. Their Military Services program has aspecial section on the website at www.eagala.org/mili-tary. And, you can watch a number of videos on their

programs at eagala.org/Information/Videos. Dr. Rob Magnelli alsosays he would be happy to receive questions or comments at [email protected]. Now, let’s see if there aren’t someAndalusians and Andalusian owners out there who might help.◗ AM

Famous and FabulousBY BARBARA PRICE AND JULIE ALONZO

The celebrated Andalusian and Lusitano horses are known worldwide for their beau-ty, versatility and engaging temperaments. Some, however, have gone beyond theseaccolades and achieved celebrity stardom in their own rights.

Yes, we have movie stars, sports heroes, supermodels and world-famous mascotsin our ranks. Were it not for the inconvenience of guitar and vocal arrangements,one can only imagine we would have to add “rock star” to that list, too.

Choosing from the many famous – and, yes, oh-so-fabulous – Andalusians andLusitanos for this piece was no easy task. Our luminous breeds have, indeed, putan indelible stamp on the world, with their stunning good looks and myriad tal-ents. Featured here are just a few that have managed to shine especially brightly,despite the rigors of their human-dictated environments.

FUEGO XIIFuego XII, the 14-year-old, pure Spanish stallion

whose passionate and powerful performance in theGrand Prix Special dressage competition brought thesold-out crowd at the 2010 Alltech FEI World Equestri-an Games (WEG) to its feet in a standing ovation, isone of the most recognized names in the modern-dayhorse world. He ended the 2010 WEG with a fourthplace finish in the Grand Prix Special and a fifth placein the Freestyle. With videos of his 2010 WEG perfor-mance on YouTube easily topping 300,000 views, he hasreached mega-star status.

Fuego XII was bred in Spain by Joaquin Marquez Gon-zalez and purchased as a 4-year-old by Miguel Angel deCardenas.He has been competing in FEI-level dressage fora number of years, including representing Spain in the 2008Olympics.Born in 1998,out of Elgido and by Utrerano VII,he was inscribed into the Spanish stud book and, later,revised as an approved breeding stallion. For many, FuegoXII provides grand inspiration for what a well-bred Andalu-sian with consistent top-of-the-line training can achieve.

Fuego XII has qualified for the 2012 Summer Olympics inLondon. Look for him to represent his home country, once more

dancing into the hearts of those who appreciate the beauty of atrue partnership between horse and rider.

If all that isn’t enough to keep your head spinning, Tuno isa popular feature at the Fiesta of the Spanish Horse charityevent every year in Los Angeles, Equestfest, and West Coasthorse expos, often standing patiently for hours as enthusias-tic fans line up to have their picture taken with him. Now, ifwe could only train human celebrities to be so gracious!

TUNO IVTuno IV, also known world-wide as the USC Mascot

Traveler® 7, is a 20-year-old pure Spanish Andalusiangelding who has served for many years as a true ambas-sador for the Andalusian breed. Owned and trained bylong-time IALHA member Joanne Asman, this amazinggelding has been a consistent winner in the show ring, inaddition to maintaining a busy career as the USC Mascot,an equine actor, and parade and event participant.

Most recently, he was a cover model with StevieNicks on her new CD and will be featured with SalmaHayek in a soon-to-be-released Oliver Stone film. Butfame is nothing new to this celebrity gelding. Tuno canclaim numerous magazine, television, movie and stagecredits on his resume, as well as 14 Tournament ofRoses Parade appearances. He was featured in an EsteeLauder advertising campaign and can be seen on cos-metic counters nationwide. He also was on the June2005 cover of Vogue magazine with Salma Hayek, onthe TBS television show,“Extra – Dinner and a Movie,”and can be seen in films such as “Road to El Dorado.”

Tuno’s outstanding temperament and Joanne’s patient trainingallow him to perform well, whether he is in front of 93,000 scream-ing fans at USC football games, on a crowded theater stage, in ashow arena, walking onto a television soundstage, on HollywoodBoulevard for a film premier, or just enjoying a trail ride in the hills.

NOVILHEIRO“With his surprising speed of decision allied to great physical agility and enormous courage,Novilheiro was the greatest champion of the Lusitano breed of all times.”

– Manuel Veiga in “Lusitano Champions, A Historic Memoir”

The Lusitano stallion Novilheiro (1971-2000) was anInternational Champion in three demanding disciplines– dressage, eventing and show jumping – and this ath-letic gray stallion (out of a Veiga mare crossed with anAndrade stallion) is considered by many to be one ofthe finest representatives of the Lusitano breed in mod-ern history. Novilheiro competed on the world stage,winning a loyal fan base in his native Portugal as well asin England, France, Holland, Germany, Canada and theUnited States.

He is, perhaps, most renown for his prowess on thejumping course, where, in 1983, he was the top prizemoney earner in Britain and was ranked 12th among theworld’s top 20 money earners for that year. He competedas an Olympic jumper in 1976, 1980 and 1984, and wasparticularly valued for his speed and athletic abilities oncourses demanding sharp turns and courage.

Novilheiro’s offspring have achieved recognition in the bull-ring, in dressage, and in jumping as well as in Lusitano morphol-

ogy competitions, with numerous gold medals and first-placehonors in multiple countries.

BLANCOBlanco, transcontinental traveler and seasoned equine actor/entertainer, boasts a list of

entertainment industry achievements that would make most human actors downright envi-ous. Known around the world for his prominent movie role in the hugely popular “The Lordof the Rings” trilogy, the blazing white Blanco was a standout as Gandalf the Wizard’s horse,Shadowfax, in “The Two Towers and Return of the King.”

Not one to rest on his haunches, Blanco, 24, also has made appearances in the“Hercules” movie and several episodes of the “Hercules” television show, which, alongwith “The Lord of the Rings” movies, all required filming in New Zealand. In additionto numerous commercial and video credits, this engaging horse serves as a CelebritySpokeshorse for various equine products, and Save America’s Wild Horses, a Facebook-based cause calling attention to the wild mustangs’ removal from public lands. Blancofans also can see him in an upcoming film, “Horse Medicine,” which explores the pro-found place of higher consciousness that can exist between horse and human.

In an unprecedented photo and video shoot at the Lincoln Memorial and WashingtonMonument in Washington, D.C., Blanco posed for some of the most dramatic equine still andaction shots ever seen in our nation’s capital.

On a more playful note, Blanco is well known in Southern California equestrian circles forhis many dreamy photo shoots cavorting entirely tackless in and around the ocean. OwnerCynthia Royal says he seems to have fond memories of growing up near the sea in his nativeAustralia, and is utterly unafraid to muscle through waves and take long swims offshore. Healso partners with Royal in their popular “Imagine – Discover the Magic” program, whichfocuses on teaching others to work in harmony with their horses.


LEGIONARIO IIILegionario III (1966-1994) is arguably one of the most influential Andalusian stal-

lions in the breed’s relatively short history in the United States, and remains one of themost dominant stallions in the IALHA stud book. He represents the classic image of thestandard set for Andalusians of the renowned Carthusian ancestry.

Legionario was bred by the famous Terry farm in Spain and imported to the UnitedStates in 1971 by Greg Garrison of the California-based Garrison Ranch. He had beena champion in Spain, but never competed in the United States, due to an injury.Apparently, fate had greater things in mind for Legionario. The majestic white stallionflourished at his new home in California, producing many National Champions who,in turn, continued to produce a tremendous number of champions. Away from hisduties as one of the country’s most sought-after studs, Legionario wowed the crowds atthe Tournament of Roses Parade for 15 years and performed many exhibitions.Throughout his life, he attracted countless human celebrities to his fan club, includingDean Martin and Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis.

The Breyer Molding Co., famous for its Breyer Model Horses, selected Legionario asthe inspiration for the first Andalusian model horse. Since the introduction of theLegionario model, hundreds of thousands have been sold worldwide.

Pat Garrison remembers Legionario as a one-of-a-kind stallion and best friend thatshe felt truly honored to have owned. Pat’s father, Greg Garrison (one of the mostprominent Andalusian breeders in this country), has been quoted as saying, “He was agreat champion and my favorite horse of all time.”

A special thanks to all these great horses’ owners and caretakers for providing Andalusian Magazine with information and photos to make thisarticle possible.

SeasonGet Broodmares Ready Now for Healthy Spring FoalsBy Kentucky Equine Research Staff

Your pregnant mare’s foaling date still may be months away, but there are a few things to think about right now to assurea healthy mare and foal next spring.

In early pregnancy, the broodmare doesn’t need any particular boost to her nutrition, as the fetus is very small anddoes not significantly increase the mare’s feed requirements. However, as she enters the last trimester, the mare probablywill need additional high-quality hay and grain. After the seventh month, when the fetus is growing much more rapidly,the need for protein and minerals is greater. Feeding a fortified feed designed for late-pregnant mares should give thebroodmare the nutrients she requires at this time.

If the mare has been grazing fescue pastures, removing her to a fescue-free area during the last trimester ofpregnancy will eliminate most of the problems associated with this forage. Be sure the mare’s hay does not containfescue, as the dried plants still can contain the endophyte that causes thickened placentas, delayed or difficult delivery,and absence of milk.

Keep an eye on the mare’s hooves, and schedule farrier visits on a regular basis. If she’s uncomfortable, she may notbe able to move around well enough to graze, get plenty of water, and find shelter. Correcting hoof problems at thisstage of pregnancy is preferable to waiting until the mare is so heavy that it’s hard for her to stand on three legs for farriercare.

For a home foaling, think about the site and make necessary preparations. Whether you prefer a paddock, stall orspecial foaling suite, the site will need to be as clean as possible. In most cases, a foaling stall should be somewhat largerthan an ordinary stall. If you need to remove existing partitions or do some new construction, it’s time to get started.

If the mare is going to foal at a different location, make plans to move her a month or two before her expectedfoaling date. This avoids problems associated with weather or the possibility of an unexpected early foaling. The mare

also needs time to settle into her new quarters and developspecific antibodies to whatever microbes are found at thefoaling site. These antibodies will be passed to the foal throughthe mare’s colostrum and are critical to the newborn’s health.

Regardless of where the foaling will take place, consult aveterinarian about when the mare should have her lastvaccinations, and make an appointment for her to receivethose that she needs. Booster vaccinations usually are given ataround 10 months of pregnancy to ensure the production ofcolostral antibodies.

As the mare’s delivery date gets closer, owners will need toassemble some experienced helpers, a list of phone numbers forveterinarians, and supplies like disinfectant for the umbilicalcord. Having some chores out of the way ahead of time will giveexpectant owners peace of mind before the big day.

Stallion Syndicates RevisitedBy John Alan Cohan

Stallion syndicates have been a popular vehicle for people engaged in breeding activities formore than 40 years. This is a mode of co-ownership that applies to all types of horses in allbreeds. During the 1980s, many people syndicated high-quality stallions as investment and taxstrategies.

These were thought to have the advantage of spreading risks of loss and sharingmaintenance costs, as well as attracting investors to situations that could generate significantprofits for all parties involved.

Today, the Securities and Exchange Commission continues to regard stallion syndications as“non-securities,” which means that the promoter can advertise freely and solicit the generalpublic to buy stallion shares, as long as the agreement is in correct legal form. Each investorbecomes a co-owner of a fractional interest in the stallion and is entitled to breeding rights. Careof the stallion is delegated to a syndicate manager who has day-to-day charge of the animal.

There are tax benefits for all members of a stallion syndicate. Each investor is entitled to depreciate the cost of the fractional interest,and to deduct maintenance costs from one’s income tax. In addition, investors may decide to lease a broodmare, and those costs aretax deductible. Of course, this is with the caveat that the taxpayer has the intention to be engaged in an activity for profit.

The principal business advantage of a stallion syndicate is that each co-owner is assured of long-term breeding rights to the stallion ata fixed price, usually with a live foal guarantee.

Drafting a syndicate agreement is crucial to any horse syndication, because important legal considerations exist, not to mention theimportance of making the agreement compatible with Federal tax law considerations.

The syndicate manager is required to keep accurate books and records of the syndicate to show all income and disbursementsinvolved, and other information pertinent to the syndicate, including veterinary reports, breeding schedules, the pedigree information ofmares nominated to the stallion, and other details. Each co-owner, in turn, must keep separate business records in accordance with IRSregulations applicable to horse activities.

A good syndicate agreement will specify the duties of the manager; the sort of voting rights are conferred on the co-owners; and thesort of marketing plan or strategy will be implemented to promote the foals of the stallion produced under the syndicate.

Installment payments often are available, making it affordable to start up a horse activity. Mortality insurance on the horse is factoredinto the annual maintenance fee, but, if some members don’t pay for their shares in full, the promoter may require them to obtainseparate mortality insurance on their shares, with the loss payee designated as the syndicate manager.

The syndicate is not a separate taxpaying entity, nor is it a partnership entity. Each co-owner is responsible for filing his or her own taxreturn, in which deductions are made.

Stallion syndications today still are a viable means to cut down on costs, and can be a prudent economic alternative to outrightownership of high-quality stallions. Legal counsel should be consulted to properly draft syndicate agreements, and to insure thatapplicable tax and securities laws are taken into account.

Body Conditioning Affects Mare ReproductionBy Kentucky Equine Research Staff

Body condition of mares can affect reproductive efficiency. For optimal efficiency, maresshould be maintained at a body condition score of at least 5 but preferably 5.5 or 6.According to Henneke's nine-point body condition scale, in which 1 is emaciated and 9 isobese, a 5 represents moderate body weight. The back is level with no crease or ridge, ribscannot be seen but can be felt, tailhead is surrounded by a layer of fat, withers are well-rounded, and neck blends smoothly into the shoulder.

Research has shown that barren mares kept at a body condition score of 5 begin ovulatingsooner than mares with body condition scores less than 5. These mares also require fewer estruscycles to achieve pregnancy and, generally, have higher conception rates.

Mares that enter the breeding season thin, regardless of whether they are being fedsufficient energy to gain weight, are less reproductively efficient than those in moderate bodycondition.

On the opposite end of the weight spectrum, moderately fat or obese mares were just as reproductively efficient as their average-sized peers. Interestingly, some overweight open mares, maintained at body condition scores between 6.5 and 8, continue to cyclethroughout the winter months, usually a period of ovarian inactivity.

Mare owners should take note that obesity can take its toll in other facets of broodmare management. Mares retired to thebroodmare band for chronic unsoundness might fare better when they are kept in slimmer condition, especially during the last monthsof pregnancy when the burden of the fetus is greatest. Obesity-related metabolic problems plague broodmares as often as they affectother horses, so weight management is important to the health of mares.

Group-feeding situations sometimes preclude timid mares from getting their fair share from the feed bunk. Observation of the herd willreveal if there is peace or upheaval among your mares during feedings. If you notice one or more mares are determined bullies, it mightbe best to separate the less-aggressive mares from the others. This will ensure thin mares are getting sufficient feed to increase bodycondition. If a thin mare does not gain weight, despite being fed apart from her herdmates, you might look into other causes such asparasitism, dental problems or pain issues. An experienced equine nutritionist and your veterinarian should be consulted if a thin marefails to gain weight.

Jade Armendariz, a 12-year-old youthrider from Sage, Calif., received a rare invita-tion to participate as one of the exhibition riders inthe 2011 Adequan®/USDF National Conventionand Symposium, held in late-2011 in San Diego.Jade and Farol, a 7-year-old P.R.E. stallion ownedby Rancho Armendariz, performed a lunge linedemonstration led by USDF trainer and FEI com-petitor Susan Hoffman Peacock.

The Symposium, which showcased the demon-stration rides, was a star-studded equestrian event.Riders included Jan Ebeling, Leslie Morse, SteffenPeters and Sabine Schut-Kery.

“There was literally an audible gasp from thecrowd when it was announced that Farol was astallion, and Jade was only 12 years old,” says Jade’strainer, Iana Gonzalez.

By all accounts, the demonstration went off without a hitch, andboth Jade and Farol gained many admiring fans in the process.“Jere-my Steinberg, head coach for the USDF Young Riders Program,congratulated us on both the horse and rider,”Gonzalez says.

Awesome job, Jade! What a fantastic start to lead ouryouth riders into 2012. ◗ AM

New Year’s Day Ranch Roping Competition

Amy Star, 41, of Tucson, Ariz., rang inthe New Year by participating in the South-west Ranch Roping Association competition withher 13-year-old Half-Andalusian mare, ReinaAmberina. Amy and Reina have been participatingin ranch roping for the last six years. Amy reportsthat Reina was an especially good sport for thisparticular event, since she’d just weaned a foal theweek before, and went right back to work likeshe’d never been on broodmare sabbatical.

Ranch roping is a judged discipline, wherebythe competitors earn points for types of loopsthrown, horsemanship, stock handling skills andteamwork. Amy and Reina were on the teamsthat won both first place and third place in the 3-Man Team Doctoring event. This event requiresthe team to hold the herd of cattle in the rodear,while one team member singles out and ropes a specific cow over the head or horns, a second team member ropes the hind legs,and a third team member must tail down to the cow and transfer the ropes to double fronts and hinds for safe doctoring. All teammembers must be capable of any of the jobs.

Amy says she enjoys the challenge of ranchroping, because it requires a well-trained horseand great team work. The challenge of work-ing cattle in this traditional manner is excitingand can become quite fast and dangerous.Amy has been using Andalusians and Half-Andalusians for ranch roping and workingdisciplines for about 10 years. She prefersthem for the work, because they are so athlet-ic and willing, and able to shut down andwork quietly with the drop of the reins. ◗ AM
