hearts and prayers go out to the family of Lisa Campiglio, who has now
been released from her earthly bonds and is free to run wild with all
the horses she has loved and lost. Lisa was an excellent and extremely
knowledgeable breeder of the Spanish Arabian horse and a person who
shared her knowledge and love of these horses with anyone who needed
her help. She was one of those rare people who had a mind like an
encyclopedia and filled it with the pedigrees of our fabulour horses.
She was funny, sharp and absolutely adored her children and
grandchildren. We have lost an incredible person, but we are the only
ones who suffer; she is forever at liberty now. Written by Schanen Yates Unser, 2/23/2017 2016 SAHS Horse of the Year Nominations Nominations are currently being accepted!

FIOLEK, 1986 grey stallion (Zacateco x Rjeka) is the WINNER of the 2006
Annual WAHO Trophy Award. He was bred by S.A.R. Dª Teresa de
Borbón. In a tie with DAKALIEH, bred by D. Nicolás
Domecq Ybarra, FIOLEK was selected the winner. Although both stallions
had many points in halter, Dakalieh had no points in Sport events.
FIOLEK's very well-known sire ZACATECO won the 2005 WAHO Trophy Award and
has sadly just passed away. FIOLEK is a very "breedy" looking Classical
Spanish Arabian who is a stronger mover than his sire and has successfully
competed in racing and cross, and passes this motion on to his get.

Judges:Back to top 2005 by Lisa Goodwin-Campiglio The Spanish Arabian Horse Breeders Society (AECCA) is delighted to be able to initiate the journey of the WAHO TROPHY by awarding it for the first time to ZACATECO ( Jacio x Baldosa), a very special 25-year old stallion, owned and bred by the Spanish National Stud, the Yeguada Militar. The stallions of the YM have been the foundation of the private Studs in existence in Spain today. ZACATECO is an excellent representative of the historic lines of Arabian horses in Spain, and is probably the most influential sire of the last 20 years. He is classified First in the Stallions Book of Merits. He has been used by a considerable number of private breeders, with excellent results, producing (to the end of 2005) a total of 218 offspring, all with his gentle nature and considerable intelligence. Many of these direct and second generation descendents have been outstanding in halter classes, Internationally as well as Nationally, including several named Top Ten in Paris at the World Championships, an All Nations Cup Champion, a European Reserve Champion and many others. In Sports Competitions, ZACATECO has sired many successful Endurance competitors, as well as Jumping, Dressage and Eventing Horses at all levels, including Open National Championships, within and outside of Spain. Particularly important to modern day breeding are those horses which combine remarkable results in both Ridden and Halter Classes. Now 25 years old, ZACATECO has been Senior Chief Sire at the Yeguada Militar for many years. The WAHO TROPHY WINNERS in each affiliated country are selected annually by the Registering Authority Members of that country. 2005 is the first year this program has been put into effect. 38 countries got their results in prior to publication of the recent WAHO newsletter. Late entries will be published at the WAHO website: http://www.waho.org/wahotrophy2005P1.html by Lisa Goodwin-Campiglio As of the end of 2005 , the well known Spanish breeder Diego Mendez Moreno has retired from judging. He sold his entire bloodstock to Complutum Arabians, completing the arrangements in 2004. To be sure, he kept contact in an advisory capacity. For all of us who knew him personally, it would be difficult to envision Diego completely outside the Arabian world! A very nice article has been written by Petra Berlenbach for the ECAHO, link below. Diego personally took me under his wing and helped me buy my very first Foundation Mare bred by Don Miguel Osuna Escalera, the incredible Jarilla, a 3 year old daughter of Figuroso and Arilla and in foal to the military stallion Jaquay. In later years he would always tease me for not having bought breeding stock from him! Yet upon the arrival of my first importation of Arabians from Germany, who came explicity to Barcelona to view them before they boarded the ferry to Mallorca...none other than Diego himself. And he somehow managed to find a bale of alfalfa and a willing taxi driver to bring it to the docks as the German horse transport had run out of feed. To be sure, this import of breeding stock of five head was the first "group" of outside bloodlines to arrive in Spain. The only one previous was a gift from Jay and Dorothy Stream to Pedro Salas and his daughter Marieta of the Egyptian bred yearling colt AL Nahr Camino (AN Montecristo x AL Nahr Neyomi) of Fadjur/ Ibn Moniet-el-Nefous bloodlines a month earlier in 1974. Petra Berlenbach has summed it up nicely. Diego's enthousiastic determination and love of the Arabian breed has had a tremendous influence on the Spanish Arabian and its delvelopment in Spain.

"As
some of you already know the ECAHO annual meeting is being held in Palma

Conference of Arabian Horse Organizations. It has established the Horse
Show rule book and is officially accepted by 24 national organizations

"December 17 was the Capitan, New Mexico annual Christmas parade. Outside of the police car which cleared the highway, everything in the parade is horse ridden or pulling a wagon. The exception was a group of young men from Camp Sierra Blanca walking -- they are in all our parades. Santa Claus rides in a wagon which takes him to the Capitan Public Library where he visits with the children and refreshments are served. "I am a member of the Lincoln County Sheriff's Posse but ride behind the parade unit in 'native costume' to call attention to my Arabian horses. This is a snapshot taken by one of the library women. deLaila is my pride and joy."
