This year's Scottsdale Show featured outstanding visibility for
the Egyptian Arabian horse, thanks to the collaboration of The
Pyramid Society, premier sponsor Markel Insurance and the
Arizona Arabian Horse Association.
Numerous activities were held, beginning with an educational

STRAIGHT EGYPTIAN HORSE AND ITS GLOBAL INFLUENCE
TODAY.
Attendees were treated to an exceptional line-up of experts, includ-
ing noted Equine Consultant Scott Benjamin as well as panelists
Tara Carpio, Ted Carson, Shawn Crews, Allison Mehta and Becky
Rogers. Following the morning classes, a social reception was held

Halters. Part B of the seminar followed the afternoon classes with a presenta-
tion of Straight Egyptian horses in an interactive session. See the links below
for access to videos of Part A & B of this educational seminar. The Straight
Egyptian and Heritage classes were well supported by Pyramid Society mem-
bers. The quality of contenders was outstanding and the crowd was on their
feet as the horses were presented and the winners were announced. The
Straight Egyptian Champions took home a special bronze trophy, “Egyptian
Pharaoh” created by Dennis Hilkhuijsen, along with exclusive neck garlands
sponsored by The Pyramid Society.
Special socials and presentations were also hosted by Arabians Ltd. and
Tara Carpio Arabians, providing even more opportunities for our
Egyptian Arabian horses to take the spotlight in Scottsdale.
The Pyramid Society thanks featured sponsor, Markel
Insurance and media sponsor Arabian Horse Times, as well as

EGYPTIAN ARABIANS IN THE WINNERS’ CIRCLE
AT SCOTTSDALE
The top four STRAIGHT EGYPTIAN honors in Scottsdale were proudly
awarded to Pyramid Society member owned horses!
Ariela Arabians made a big
splash at Scottsdale ,
taking home 2 of the top 4
honors. AL AYAL AA (Al
Ayad x *The Vision HG), first
caught everyone’s attention
by winning the Straight
Egyptian Stallions 5 Years &
Older class. He then took
the competition by storm and
was named the Champion
Straight Egyptian Senior
Male.
Next, SOFIYAA AA (Al Ayal AA x
Saniyyah RCA) won her Straight
Egyptian Two Year Old Fillies class
and was ultimately awarded the
honor of Champion Straight
Egyptian Junior Female.
It was an outstanding showing by
Ariela Arabians, and one that won’t soon be forgotten.
AL AYAL AA
SOFIYAA AA
THEE DOMINION (Scapa x Thee Desert
Rose) earned two big wins for owners &
breeders Danny and Carol Heithold of
Misty Valley Arabians in Chickamauga,
Georgia. After being named the unani-
mous winner of the Two Year Old Straight
Egyptian Colts class, he was enthusiasti-
cally led to his Junior Straight Egyptian
Male Championship by Luis Paniagua of
Arabians Ltd.
MAKEDA DB (Mishaal HP x
Jamiil Baarrah) is living up to
her farm’s namesake by making
dreams come true for Virginia,
Ruel and Nicole Gober of
Dreamco Breeders, LLC in
Folsom, Louisiana. She clearly
stood out from the crowd by first
winning the Straight Egyptian
Mares 5 Years & Older class
and going on to be awarded the
title of Champion Straight
Egyptian Senior Female. It
seems the sky is the limit for
Makeda DB!
This was not the first glimpse at stardom for the Senior Champion Mare
and Junior Champion Colt, as both have appeared on the cover of The
SOURCE! Check out MAKEDA DB in Volume 1, and THEE DOMINION
in Volume 3.

Highlighted on show calendars around
the world in February is The International
Arabian Horse Festival in Kuwait. And
for good reason. Bait Al Arab’s show fa-
cility is first class, the horses are spectac-
ular and the hospitality is unsurpassable.
Farm visits following the show to many of
the leading breeders in Kuwait inspired
those attendees fortunate enough to stay,
and further reconfirmed Kuwait’s dedica-
tion and passion for the Arabian horse.
This year’s Festival was held February 4-
7 and included 238 entries for the Inter-
national Championships (all purebreds
with qualification) and 181 entries for the inaugural All Nations Cup – Straight
Egyptians (with qualification). Exquisite breeder awards rewarded and highlight-
ed those top breeders for their dedication and suc-
cess. Visit Bait Al Arab’s website soon for full re-
sults and photos.
KUWAIT INTERNATIONAL ARABIAN
HORSE FESTIVAL
THE PYRAMID SOCIETY HONORS BAIT AL ARAB
WITH COMMISSIONED BRONZE BY KAREN
KASPER
The exquisite bronze, "Egyptian Splendor" created by
Karen Kasper, was presented to Bait Al Arab for their
generous support of the Pyramid Society and their
support of its mission in preserving and perpetuating
the Straight Egyptian Arabian horse. The bronze was
presented at a special dinner hosted by Sheikha Sarah
(cont.)
Fahad Al Sabah, Undersecretary of the Amiri Diwan and Chief of the Arabi-
an Horse Center - Bait Al Arab Kuwait State Stud. In attendance were Pyra-
mid Society Trustee, Judith Forbis, Board of Directors, Cynthia Culbertson,
Gail Mailloux, Omar Sakr, Keri Wright and Executive Director Anna Bishop,
as well as other members of the Pyramid Society.
It was a special night dedicated to a marvelous display of Karen Kasper’s
magnificent bronzes - from her first one of Moniet El Nefous in the mid-80's
to the outstanding representation of Ansata Hejazi, commissioned by his
owner Mohammed Jassim Al Marzouq. “Egyptian Splendor” will be on per-
manent display at the new Bait Al Arab Kuwait State Stud.

CHRISTIE METZ
THE PYRAMID FOUNDATION THANKS CHRISTIE METZ
(Bait Al Arab Tribute cont.)
Compassionate, dedicated breeder, respected mentor and teacher, studious, creative, insightful - - just a few of the words effectively describing Christie Metz. It was those, and other attributes too numerous to mention, that served as the drivers behind Christie’s efforts in getting The Pyramid Foundation, Inc., established in 1997. Created as a 501(c)3 charitable arm of The Pyramid Society, its mission is to enhance public recognition and appreciation of the Arabian horse with an emphasis on the Egyptian Arabian horse through educational activities and publications, historical tours, and art featuring the Egyptian Arabian, as well as other charitable activities under the guidelines of a 501(c)3 nonprofit foundation. Significant projects under Christie’s leader-ship have included the highly-regarded
CHRISTIE METZ
Desert Legend Series, Historical DVD’s, the Mary Haggard Giclee prints, Custom Artistic Pedigrees, informative reference materials and ongoing support of the Society’s educa-tional activities and Breeders’ Conferences.
With those accomplishments to her credit, Christie recently announced her decision to be a ‘cheerleader in the background’, as op-posed to remaining the front runner. Christie has definitely earned her stripes, not only serving as the Foundation’s President but also a committed Society Board mem-ber who successfully ran the Society’s art auction for numerous years. She con-tinues to serve the Society as one of its esteemed Trustees. And in this case, effective leaders come as a pair. Husband Henry, also a Trustee, very capably led our Society as its President for eight years. Henry and Christie are stalwarts at every Egyptian Event, in addition to other Society-supported activities. They are also Life Members of The Pyramid Society.
Janice Bush, who’s served as co-chair of the Society’s Education Committee and worked closely with Christie on numerous projects, will be taking the reins as The Pyramid Foundation President. We look forward to continued superb leadership of the Foundation in Janice's capable hands.
The Pyramid Society Board of Directors, fellow Trustees, members and staff are grateful for leaders in our world-wide Arabian community who exemplify the qual-ities of Henry and Christie Metz. We will continue to be inspired by your vision, your dedication and your efforts on behalf of the Egyptian Arabian horse, The Pyramid Society and The Pyramid Foundation, Inc.

Elizabeth Salmon was an icon
within the Arabian community. Her
sincere passion, along with her
expanse of knowledge and sheer
dedication were undeniable, and
ultimately defined her as a trail blazer
and a true advocate of the Arabian
horse.
In 2012 Liz began a valiant battle
with cancer, often courageously post-
ing about her triumphs, challenges and personal experiences, with a positive
attitude consistently shining through. Sadly, Liz passed away on February 7th in
her home surrounded by her loving family. She will be missed by so many and
will be remembered for her significant contributions to the Arabian horse indus-
try. READ MORE
IN MEMORY OF LIZ SALMON
Members of The Pyramid Society join the Arabian com-
munity at large in mourning the profound loss of iconic
horsewoman Sheila Varian. As stated so eloquently in
Arabian Essence’s Tribute to Sheila, “The impact of
this news will be felt in ripples around the globe as
Sheila touched and inspired the lives of horse enthusi-
asts around the world for over six decades.”
May her legacy live on forever.

CELEBRATING THE HORSE
WITHOUT BORDERS – THE EGYPTIAN
ARABIAN, A GLOBAL AMBASSADOR
JUNE 7-11, 2016
In keeping with our history as guardians of the Egyptian Arabian horse,
The Pyramid Society Board of Directors have taken a major step forward
by implemented new, specific guidelines concerning ring conduct and the
presentation of horses to the judges. At no time will intimidation of the
horse be allowed. In the new guidelines, if at any time the judges feel the
handler is intimidating the horse, they will ask the handler to drop their
whip and step to the side of their horse. Please reference the soon to be
released Prize List for complete class specifications and guidelines.
We are confident that our new guidelines will be met with applause, as we
all work together to showcase these horses in the exciting and dignified
manner this noble breed deserves!
NEW PRESENTATION GUIDELINES
NEW HANDLER OF EXCELLENCE AWARD
This award will be presented to the handler who presents his/her horses
during the Egyptian Event with the utmost respect and compassion
while showing them to their best.
