Update on the Cascade Show
After a thorough review off all facility options and dates by show management and the Region 5 Board, we have decided to cancel the 2019 Cascade Youth Benefit show. While some might not know, the Cascade Show is the primary fundraiser for Region 5 Youth and supports their activities throughout the year including the youth judging team, non-horse youth activities, Region 5 Youth attendance at AHA Youth Board meetings, etc.

Please consider extending your support to the youth through other sponsorship opportunities this year. Region 5 Youth are currently selling garlands for the Region 5 Main Ring Championship show at $50 each. All youth are welcome to participate for the chance to win a first place prize of a custom soft shell jacket from The Hat Lady, second place $100 show credit or a $50 show credit. Contact your nearest youth or send your sponsorship direct!

Thank you for your continued support of Region 5 Youth and be on the lookout for fundraising events throughout the year.

The 2019 Region 10 Championship Show was held June 12-16 at the Minnesota State Fairgrounds in St. Paul, MN.  Our exhibitors came well prepared, and ably showed their horses to our judging panel of Kelly Elm, Deb Witty, and Mark Owens.  
 
Each year we have special activities/events at the Region 10 Championship and this year our volunteers outdid themselves.  "Arabians Salute Our Heroes" was the 2019 Region 10 Charity Event.  This was, and will continue into 2020, to benefit the All Glory Project and support therapeutic riding programs for veterans in Minnesota and Wisconsin.  The charity was also in collaboration with Horses for Humanity - the "Goldie" Project.  Activities included a Veterans Memorial Wall, "Honor Night" All-American dinner with entertainment, flag day, and Glory Calcutta classes.  In addition, artists from Gallery Equus in Minneapolis revealed their design for painting "Goldie", following the theme "Arabians Salute Our Heroes". 
 
To keep the month of June very active, the Region 10 Distance Riding Championships were held June 15-16th in Preston, MN.  And, to complete the month, the Region 10 Dressage/Sport Horse/Western Dressage Championship was held June 22-23rd in West Bend, WI.  
 
July and August offer additional opportunities for competition, including both AHA/USEF shows and open shows and distance rides.  Check out our calendar at:  http://region10arabians.com

A AHA Value show is held the last two days. It is open to all youth and any breed of horse. Region 12 is proud to have been the creator and continuous sponsor of this outstanding youth program.

Show season is in full swing and the Region 13 Championships are less than a month away! The Hoosier Horse Classic Offsite Sport Horse and Dressage Regional Championships will be at the Hoosier Horse Park in Edinburgh, IN from June 13-16. This will be a great show and a fun way to qualify for Sport Horse Nationals!

--------------------------------------------------------------

The Region 13 Championships will be held June 19-23 at the amazing World Equestrian Center in Wilmington, OH. Fun times will be had, showing our beautiful Arabians with old friends and a lot of new friends too, at this beautiful venue. Remember, golf carts are available for rent by calling Mid Ohio Golf Car at 740-929-4633.  Do us a favor and let us know your stall requirements as soon as possible.

--------------------------------------------------------------

If you want to come to the Region 13 shows but have not qualified, there are still some great shows that can help you accomplish that. A whole lot of people had fun and got qualified at the 63rd Michigan All Arabian Show. There were hunters everywhere, including the Hunt Seat Medal Class with 20 junior riders! So awesome to see.  

Coming up May 31 - June 2 is the Half-Arabian Association of Michigan's Show Time Show at Michigan State University, with arena and Sport Horse classes and new this year, ranch riding. 

A new show this year, June 7-9, is the Great Lakes AVS show in La Porte, IN. This show should be great fun with arena, Sport Horse, Dressage and the added benefit of a value show. Two other options to qualify in time for the Regional shows are the Eastern Classic show in Hamburg, NY, June 7-9 and the Medallion Show June 8-9 in Wilmington, OH. If you can't make it to any of these shows, you can still qualify at the Region 13 Championships Concurrent A & B pre-show on June 19 at the World Equestrian Center. So, let's get your horses qualified and come join us at these two shows! Check out the Region 13 website for more information .

--------------------------------------------------------------

Two wonderful Arabian events were held in March and April. The Cortese family of Cortese Arabians and David Mikosz hosted "Family Day at the Horse Farm" at their facility in Middleville, MI. A fun day was spent introducing kids and their families to the benefits horses offer children. They hosted a lunch, riding demonstrations and offered the kids a chance to ride and interact with Arabian horses. Thank you Cortese Arabians!

--------------------------------------------------------------

Michigan State University's Horse Teaching and Research program held their annual Spartan Spectacular Horse Auction! Once again this event was a big success, offering MSU bred Arabian horses to the community at auction to help support the program.

A big announcement was made at Michigan State as well. The Michigan State University Pavilion for Agriculture and Livestock education has begun a $3 million capital campaign to fund a 40,000 sq. ft. addition to the complex. The centerpiece will be the construction of an additional covered arena attached to the existing facility. Great news for horse people in Michigan and the Midwest.

The Region 17 Championship show was held May 2-5 at the Thunderbird Show Park in Langley British Columbia. It was a great event and accolades go to the Show commission and members of the All Arabian Association of BC (AAHABC) for the hard work they put into hosting a wonderful show with great fun activities.

The exemplary judging panel was: 

Vicky Humphrey, Jeff Lee and Pam Zimmerman - Main Ring
Linda Dieno, Melonie Kessler - Dressage
Joan Curtin - SH Hunter

Anyone who has been to Thunderbird knows that it is a wonderful facility built for world-class equine event. Competitors were greeted by the ever-smiling Marion Enders in the show office and enjoyed several activities including a progressive barn dinner in which incredible hors d'oeuvres, salads, main courses and desserts were offered to everyone. Oh yes, and some good wine selections as well!

Our official photographer: Ashley Lauren has photos posted of the event. If you want to see the proofs go to  www.ashleylaurenphotos.pixieset.com.

Next year's show moves to Red Deer, Alberta during the last week of June. Here's hoping that you mark your calendar and come participate in this wonderful Regional show.

Vancouver Island Arabian Horse Association (VIAHA): held a very successful show mid April to help those members wanting to qualify for the Regional Show - and everyone who needed to qualify did!

The highlight of the show was the AHA Achievement awards presentation to two long-time and well-known members. Gerald McDonald and Sandra Gilbert- Stockhausen.



TC VICTORIAS SECRET++ was presented with her LEGION OF MERIT. Vicky as she is called at home is a 14-year-old Arabian mare, sired by Matinee Bey out of the Huckleberry Bey daughter Monica Bey. Vicky is bred and owned by Gerald and Kathy McDonald of Twin Cedars Arabians, and ridden exclusively by our president Sandra Gilbert-Stockhausen.  For Vicky's Legion of Merit, she had to earn 75 points, with a minimum of 30 in breeding/in-hand and 30 in performance, and now has "++" added to her name. 

Vicky has been shown successfully in Halter, Sport Horse In-Hand and Dressage. At Western Canadian Breeders, she won Reserve Champion in Arabian Mares AOTH and at Regional shows, she has won multiple Top 5s, Reserve Championships and Championships in Sport Horse In-Hand, both Dressage Type and Hunter Type. At the 2018 Sport Horse Nationals, she won a Top Ten for Arabian Mares in-Hand ATH Dressage Type and Hunter Type. Under Saddle, Vicky has been successful in Dressage at Open shows and at Arabian shows, including Regionals
.








































SANDRA GILBERT-STOCKHAUSEN was presented with 2 plaques from AHA in recognition of her accomplishments, one for RIDER OF HONOR and one for HORSEMAN OF MERIT.

2019 marks the 60th year that Sandra has been riding horses and she competed in her first horse show on her 7th birthday. Over the years she has owned several horses for trail riding and/or showing. With Surnik, a talented big gray Arabian gelding, Sandra developed a love for Dressage and mastered the divisions of Side Saddle, Native Costume, Hunter over Fences and, of course, Older Than Dirt. 

Sandra currently owns TC Sultans Rising Star now competing in Western Dressage and Ranch Riding and she also shows Gerald and Kathy McDonald's mares TC Azleah and TC Victorias Secret++ in Dressage and Sport Horse In-Hand. Gerald and Kathy bred all 3 mares and Sandra has done the majority of their training.

At the 2014 Sport Horse Nationals, Sandra rode TC Azleah to a Top 10 Training Level Dressage. In 2018 she handled TC Victorias Secret++ to two Top 10 honors at Sport Horse Nationals in Sport Horse in Hand ATH Dressage type and ATH Hunter type.
