years, where he was instrumental in helping to write the rules under which our
shows are governed. He also served numerous terms on the IALHA Board of Di-
rectors and sat on numerous committees over the years.

Bruce has previously been honored with the IALHA’s Professional Horseman
of the Year award and has won national and regional championship titles in almost
every class offered at IALHA shows. Perhaps best known for his stellar training
and handling of halter and driving horses, Bruce’s record of under saddle wins is
likewise impressive.

We were delighted to dedicate this year’s National Show to Bruce Howard,
a horseman of great integrity and passion, who helped set a very high bar for
show-ring expectations. Bruce, your legacy lives on through the trainers and
amateur owners you have influenced and the progeny of the horses whose
careers you helped make. Thank you for all you have done for the breed and
the Association!

The 2014 IALHA National Championship Show online were: the U.S., Canada, United Kingdom, Austra-

AndalusianWorld.com. With the advent of live stream- New Zealand (in that order).
ing, it’s quickly becoming evident that the reach of the
show is not limited by geographic proximity to the event “The staff were some of the best we’ve ever had,” said
(rather fortunate given the public health concerns about Malen Dell, a member of the show committee and com-
Ebola in the Dallas-Fort Worth area being broadcast far petitor from Region 5. “They were efficient, friendly and
and wide). This year’s video streaming reached 19,340 organized, from early entries all the way to the end of the
viewers in all. The top 10 countries watching the show show. Check-out was painless and fast. I sure hope we
see them again next year.”

Howard Peet, show committee mem-
ber and competitor from Region 1 agreed.
“The atmosphere in the building was excit-
ing and enthusiastic, the competition was
fierce, and the camaraderie was at an all-
time high.”

“I really enjoyed the gathering on Sat-
urday night,” said Erica Peet. “It was great
to see so many people gathering to honor
Bruce Howard, to whom the show was ded-
icated. Having that time to relax and visit
before the last night’s classes was really a
nice way to end the week.”

Francine Dismukes said, “The chance to
have a little leisure time between perfor-
mances to sit and visit with one another
was a real highlight of the show.”

First time competitor from Texas, Heather Perillo,
reflected, “I came into this stressed out, somewhat
panicked and feeling completely unprepared. As soon
as we arrived Sunday evening, Julie Alonzo met us,
made us feel very welcome and even took the time
to show us around. We played around a bit on Mon-
day, showed the girls around, met some wonderfully
sweet and kind people, especially Twila Godinez, her
crew, the awesome vendors at The Iberian Connec-
tion, and our fun and funny ‘neighbor’ Steve [Kutie].
The vast majority of folks were friendly, kind, help-
ful, generous and more than willing to help a newbie.
SO AWESOME!”

Our 2015 National Championship Show will be
held at the Virginia Horse Center in Lexington, Va.,
Aug. 24-30. (move-in will be available on Sunday, Aug.
23). This is the site and the dates that have traditionally
been used by the Eastern Regional Andalusian Horse
Club (ERAHC) for their large regional show. The club
decided to skip one year so they could throw their sup-
port behind having the National Show in the eastern
part of the country for the first time in the history of
the IALHA.

The IALHA Show Committee has already started dis-
cussing ways to ensure that the 2015 show runs as smoothly
as this year’s event. We hope you’ll join us! w AM

The IALHA would like to thank Rob Hess Photography for Class #01
providing the Champion photos of as many classes as they Class #02
could. We tried to include as many horses’ photos as possible, Class #04
but some divisions’ photos were not available at press time, Class #07
or the layout of the shots wouldn’t fit in the space available.
We encourage you to visit http://robhessphotos.com to see
firsthand all the beautiful photos taken at the show. Rob is
still accepting orders; place yours today and memorialize your
horse’s achievements for all time!

The living legend, Diva, has touched the hearts of many she has met. She
has excelled in the show ring as well as in life. She has been a queen in the
dressage arena, a jumping phenom, and, late in life, a wonderful driving
horse. Diva has been awarded many titles and ribbons for all her accom-
plishments. Diva’s specialty is to allow many amateurs and youth to ride to
victory in the show ring. She gives confidence to her riders and lets them
enjoy the ride. Passing on the love of riding has been her biggest gift to all
of us who have enjoyed her over the years. Thank you to everyone who
has helped Diva become the horse she is today – Steve Kutie, Kathryn
Pille, Katie Berger, Keegan O’Brien, Haley Blasczcyk, and especially my
husband, John Rock.

Dardanos RDL

By Walter Henslee

Bred and owned by Walter and Judy Henslee of Rancho Del Lago, Dardanos
RDL holds more than 50 regional and national championship titles under
USEF, USDF and international judges. He holds 10 regional championship
titles in multiple disciplines and is an IALHA National Champion both at
halter and under saddle. Dardanos is also a USDF Grand Champion Dres-
sage Sport Horse and a USDF Champion under saddle, currently schooling
Fourth Level and showing Third Level. He won the USDF Champion Pure-
bred Mature Dressage Sport Horse All Breeds Award for IALHA in 2012,
2013 and 2014. Twice, he has received the highest morphology scores of all
stallions at a national show under Spanish judges.

At the prestigious Pin Oak Charity Show, he was 2014 Champion Eng-
lish Show Hack, 2013 Champion Hunt Seat and 2013 Champion Stallion in
a field of a dozen colts and stallions. He is registered with IALHA, USEF,
USDF, and is an approved stallion by both The Foundation for the Pure
Spanish Horse and ANCCE. His sire is the recently-deceased Indiano 18, Champion of Spain and Mexico, and his dam, Electra GR,
was a double granddaughter of Centella V, Champion of Spain.
Dardanos RDL received the IALHA Lifetime Achievement Award: Premio de Oro (halter and performance) in 2013 and the Pre-
mio de Merito award (performance) in 2014. His first offspring to be shown made IALHA National Champion Spanish Colt this year.
In Greek mythology, one son of the goddess Electra (his dam) was Dardanos, founder of the Trojan empire. We wish to thank his
halter trainer Ruperto Vasquez and his dressage trainer Michael Vermaas for their roles in his success. To see more photos and

El Premio de Merito

Carina HGF

By Eric D. Smith

Photo courtesy of Captured Moment Photography

Carina HGF is a six-year-old bright bay mare bred by Kim Boyer of Hamp-
ton Green Farm in Fruitport, Mich., and was acquired by Eric D. Smith as
a three-year-old. She has been trained and ridden by Eric’s wife, Cindy
Ramirez-Smith, in the disciplines of eventing, hunter/jumper and dressage.
Carina’s dressage training started immediately upon her arrival in Califor-
nia in 2012. Twice she scored in excess of 75 percent at Training Level, and
she won the coveted Regalado II Perpetual Trophy for High Point Purebred
Dressage Horse that year. However, it has been her performance in over-
fences classes, in general, and in three-day eventing, in particular, that is
unprecedented for a purebred Spanish horse, especially a mare.

This year, Carina placed in the top five of every three-day event in
which she competed, including a first place finish at the Fall Horse Trials
Twin Rivers Ranch and a third place finish at the Novice Level at the United
States Eventing Association Area VI Regional Championships.

At any level of eventing, a three-day horse trial is extremely stressful
– both for the horse and the rider. Even if your dressage is stellar on day one, you could have a refusal on cross country on day two
or have a rail down in stadium jumping on day three. This is always present and foremost on your mind. Since scoring is cumulative
over three days, there is as much pressure on the leader to keep the lead as there is on the rest of the field to move into the lead.
Carina’s temperament, focus and determination are some of the attributes that are well-suited for eventing. In the high-octane
world of eventing – a world dominated by thoroughbreds and warmbloods –we are often complimented on Carina’s bold and con-
fident nature.

Next year we plan to show Carina at Second Level in dressage and move her up to Training Level in eventing. Our goal is to have
her compete at the American Eventing Championships in Texas next fall.

We would like to thank the IALHA for this award, and we graciously accept it on Carina’s behalf.

El Premio de Oro

Aragon GAF

By Cynthia Roberts

Photo courtesy of All Creatures Photography

Bred by Glen Aryn Farm, Aragon GAF possesses presence, very correct
conformation, movement, wonderful temperament, talent and work ethic.
Aragon is blessed with the full package. His bloodlines are a blend of some
of the oldest Spanish breeders – Guardiola, Romero Benitez and Yeguada
Militar, among others. Aragon’s powerful pedigree contains international
Olympic dressage medalists (Evento and Oleaje) as well as conformation
champions with Qualified Status on both sides.

Our extraordinary distinguished gentleman is accomplished in halter,
movement and performance – open dressage. He has earned champion
titles from IALHA, both at IALHA regional and national shows, ANCCE and
FPSH as early as a yearling and has consistently continued to do so through-
out his career. Aragon also won the IALHA Arnold Houser Trophy for High
Point Halter Horse in 2010 and is a two-time earner of the Regalado II
Perpetual Trophy for High Point Purebred Dressage Horse. He is also a
wonderful ambassador for our breed, making new friends at every venue.
Competing in open dressage, Aragon continues to excel with scores as high as 77 percent. He is the highest scoring PRE Anda-
lusian in his division in open competition.
This year, Aragon is in the top 20 for Adequan/USDF awards nationally for open dressage, earned the IALHA El Premio de Oro
Lifetime Achievement Award at the tender age of five, and the USPRE COPA Dressage Award, which qualifies him for SICAB. He
will be part of the USPRE Dressage Team in 2015.
We couldn’t be more proud of our distinguished gentleman, and we look forward to next year’s competition season. Aragon will
be standing for the 2015 season at Glen Aryn Farm. Last but not least, many thanks to our family, trainers, friends and well-wishers
for all of your support!

Josie Croasmun and A Fabulous Dream

John & Joanne Asman Award for Half-Andalusian Youth Exhibitor

When 14-year-old Josie Croasmun started training with Lauren LaVine two years ago,
she was fortunate enough to meet Lauren's three-month-old filly, A Fabulous Dream.
There was an instant connection between the two girls, and they have been inseparable
ever since.

“Dreamy” is one of the most popular subjects of Josie’s Instagram account – little-
paintmare. With more than 6,000 Instagram followers, Josie promotes the Andalusian
and Half-Andalusian breed and also works as a brand ambassador for Valencia Sport Sad-
dlery and The Pony Box. “Social media gives me a chance to let the world know about
this magnificent breed,” says Croasmun.

In addition to showing Dreamy, Josie enjoys learning about Liberty. The two of them
have a very special bond. Look for Dreamy and Josie in the show ring in the coming seasons!

Luis & Anita Alfaro Award for High Point Youth Exhibitor: English

Sydney Croasmun has always been moved by beautiful images. It is no surprise that
when she saw Fabuloso AF, she instantly fell in love with him.

Having come from the hunter/jumper circuit, she welcomed the change to the
multiple disciplines that the Andalusian breed offers. Under her trainer, Lauren
LaVine, she developed the skills for many different styles of riding that define her
reputation as a rider. In the 2013-2014 show season, Sydney won every Youth High
Point award in Region 1 and was able to ride to four National Titles at the IALHA
National Show.

When not on horseback, Sydney can most often be found behind the lens of a
camera, capturing video and still images of horses and their riders for her business,

Medeterraneo’s Venezia

Open Equestrian Award

Medeterraneo’s Venezia, also known as “Vinny,” is a three-year-old PRE Andalusian
filly by Medeterraneo V out of Espanola 1988. She is the first Andalusian to be owned
by veterinarian Dr. Brenda Forsythe of Santa Maria, Calif., who is also her rider and
trainer. She was started under saddle in October of last year and spent the 2014
show season building low-pressure experience at local shows in hunt seat, trail, stock
seat and dressage seat pleasure and equitation performance classes. Her elegance,
versatility, cool temperament and natural athleticism made her a favorite with both
audiences and judges, resulting in several day-end and seasonal high point awards at
the local level in the dressage and versatility divisions. Dr. Forsythe is delighted to
have earned this award and looks forward to introducing Venezia to rated dressage
shows and perhaps to the Iberian show ring as well in 2015. w AM
