NWAHA Members Gather at First Club-Sponsored Clinic of 2007
Nine people attended the March 10th clinic sponsored
by NWAHA Open Director, Cyndy Stephens Winchell at
her training and boarding facility in Eugene, Oregon.
Sharon Gerl brought her palomino stallion Venturoso HM
and Pedro Munoz Sanchez brought his dark grey stallion
Talisman. Gary Camp and Lisa Keeble drove over from
Bend to audit, youth member Joanna Wayland graciously
agreed to demonstrate western equitation, and several nonmembers sat in to pick up pointers as clinic auditors.
The clinic began with introductions to one another and
a brief overview of Cyndy’s philosophy of training,
including the importance of establishing a respectful
relationship with your horse and reinforcing that respect
with consistent expectations for behavior, not only under
saddle but also when the horse is in the stall or paddock.
Having established a common frame of reference, Cyndy
began with a discussion of Western pleasure and equitation,
covering topics such as teaching the horse to move
properly, yielding haunches and forehand, and maintaining
the proper frame. She demonstrated what the finished
product looks like on Caballos del Corazon’s halfAndalusian gelding Jefe, who earned a National
Championship in Western Pleasure in 2005. Then, she
moved to a demonstration of what she expects from a lessfinished horse, showing the methods she is using to train
Moonstruck Meadows’ mare Larica MSM, a horse who
only recently returned to training after being started prior to
foaling a year ago. Throughout the clinic, Cyndy fielded
questions
ranging
from tack
and clothing
selection to
condition
ing and
basic
groundwo
rk.
Following
lunch,
Cyndy
moved on to the English style of riding, covering the
difference between hunt seat, dressage suitability, and show
hack, among other things. Both Sharon and Pedro mounted
up and received one-on-one feedback on their horses’ way
of going and show potential.
At the end of the day, Cyndy moved to the halter
division, first demonstrating the pattern and then having
participants practice using their own or borrowed horses so
that everyone interested had the chance for some hands-on
experience. Finally, Cyndy shared tips on clipping and
prepping the halter horse for the show ring, a session that
participants reported was particularly useful.
Remembering the day, Sharon Gerl remarked that
Cyndy “covered a wide array of topics and in more depth
than I could imagine we could fit in. I personally got a lot
out of it and had fun too!
Pedro and Cindy Munoz Sanchez, who came with their
horse Talisman agreed, saying, “ It was very good, well
spoken and informative.”
Cyndy, who donated all proceeds from the clinic to the
club explained her reasoning. “I love working with
Andalusians and am eager to help club members show their
horses to the best of their ability. If people can have fun
doing it, I figure everyone wins.” It appears she succeeded.

Show Season is around the corner, are you ready?
Well, it seems like another year has come and gone;
we’ve all made it through yet another show season
(hopefully in one piece). And here we are again, looking
the 2007 show season right in the
eye. As I show several breeds, I can
tell you that my show season began
the first week in January, so I am
already into the swing of things and
have been for three months now.
So you ask, “What IS the swing
of things?” Well, for starters, how’s
your horse doing? Fed up properly,
regular vet maintenance (worm,
vaccines, farrier), fit to show
condition, or are we a little “soft”
around the corners? Have you been
riding regularly, lessons, training or
getting video-taped so you know where your weak spots
are? This list and these questions could go on and on and
on…… So let’s start at the beginning!
1) Make sure your horse is updated on all shots,
worming, farrier work;
2) If you haven’t been riding or working your horse,
begin now, working up to an exercise program that will
build tone and stamina (don’t try to do it all in one
session);
3) Check your riding (with the help of a friend,
trainer, video, etc). Have you lost your seat, hands, heels,
chin, etc;
4) Check

6) How about your truck, RV, etc.? Oil, tires, fluids?
If you do not drive this vehicle other than during the
show season, now is the time to
think about it, not the week
before you leave.
This is somewhat of a check
list that I go through prior to
show season. Remember that for
many in our club, our first show
is only three months away. Trust
me; in the training pen that’s not
very long!
So get your rigs “up to snuff”,
your show gear and clothes
cleaned, pressed, and in
protective bags, and if you haven’t begun, get your horse
ready. Do NOT forget proper grooming, as this is an
essential component to having that special effect in the
show pen.
I have a personal checklist which I use prior to every
show, large or small, to help me remember all the
different essentials. My list includes everything from
show tack to working tack, clothes, tables, chairs, pretty
much everything but the dog (and that’s only because I
can’t leave without her!). If you are interested in having
a copy of my checklist, please contact me by either
email, phone, or regular mail, and I would be happy to
forward it to you.
On a personal note I would like to thank ALL who
attended my clinic this month. I think everyone there -myself included! -- learned a lot, not to mention making
new or stronger friendships. At the interest of others, I
am contemplating a second clinic to prep and/or touch
up before show season (May or early June). If you
would be interested in bringing your horse to such a
session (where you can get written and oral ‘pointers’
on how to improve your show-ring presence, please let
me know, and I will do my best to put it together.
Please write or email with questions or help on these and
other issues, I am here to help and want to see everyone
improve and enjoy their training even more. Good luck
to all this show season, and see you in the show pen!

Ranch News!
Broken Auger Farm
Ferndale, Washington
I am very sad to announce that I am
getting out of the breeding business, at
least from the mare and foal end of it,
due to the physical toll on my aging
body. I will be reducing my herd by 50%
and am planning on relaxing, traveling
and riding more. I have already sold
both mares to breeders in Florida and
Vermont and my young filly, Brisa BAF
is going to her new home in Oregon in
May. Amado BAF is going to be a
dressage horse in New York. I have also
leased out my non-Iberian mare to a
friend here in Whatcom County as I
haven't had time to ride two horses and
keep up with farm duties. I will be
spending more time on my Lusitano
gelding, JJ, and showing more, which I
am very excited about.
I am also keeping my 2 year old
chestnut stallion, Apollo BAF, who
came from Brazil in utero with his dam,
Raposa HM. I will be standing him
maybe next year, but his primary
purpose is to become a dressage horse
and compete! He will be going to my
trainer, and she will house, train and
show him. I am very excited about this
boy’s abilities.
Now that I don't have to be on duty
at home so much, I am hoping to
become a bit more active in NWAHA
events, and I will also remain active in
our local dressage organization here in
Whatcom County.

Club Ventures to the Mane Event in Washington
A small but enthusiastic group
of club members participated in the
Washington state Mane Event in
February. We had two fine
stallions to represent the breed:
Traci Viers’ Novelisto D and
Sharon Gerl’s Venturoso HM.
This was our first year at this
Expo, and we have a lot more
opportunities than we participated
in this year - there was a one-onone breed area to take a horse and
greet the public as well as an
"Extravaganza" that we missed.
We did have our horses in all
three days for the individual breed
showcase. Our script gave a history
of the breed and then went on to
talk about the individual horses that
were being ridden. We only had the
two stallions this year, but next year
we hope to have more horses and
have a much higher level of
participation.
There was a great deal of traffic
all three days in the Expo hall, and
our booth was a hit with event
promoters and the public. We
managed to sell about $200 in raffle
tickets for the tack trunk we’re
raffling for a club fundraiser, and
we got the word out about our first
stallion breeding auction (again, to
raise money for the club). If you
live in the area, please consider
signing up to participate next year.
The more the merrier!

Crossing the US/Canada Border with Horses
Contributed by Bette-Lyn Eger
Thinking of attending Canada’s
first National Andalusian Show, but
not sure about crossing the Canadian
border with horses? Don’t worry;
getting across the border is easy!
All horses require a Coggins (EIA)
test and veterinary heath papers. Your
local veterinarian can acquire these
papers for you. The Coggins or
negative EIA (Equine Infectious
Anemia) test is valid for 180 days. The
Health Certificate, stating your horse is
free of contagious disease, is valid for
30 days. For international travel, your
veterinarian will need to have both of
these papers endorsed by a USDA
veterinarian, so do not leave it to the
last minute. Most vets recommend
scheduling your appointment for
initiating the paperwork for two to
three weeks prior to travel. One thing
to keep in mind is that you need to
make sure your health certificate is
valid the entire time you are out of the
country -- and that it will be valid
when you head back across the border
to return to the US.
No additional veterinary inspection
is required at the border for horses
temporarily entering Canada, provided
the horse returns within 30 days of the
date of entry. Horses may enter/reenter at any regular car border
crossing. A duty or sales tax will not
be assessed for temporary entry.
Persons traveling with the horse(s)
should bring valid passports or if not
yet possessing one a valid drivers license and birth certificate, horses’ registration, and if you are not the owner a
note from them stating you are bringing your friends’ horses to the show.
There are three main border crossings within easy access of Chilliwack
Heritage Park: Abbotsford/Sumas
(604) 854-8029, the Pacific Hwy
(176st) (604) 541-3364 and Aldergrove
(264th). Border regulations can change
due to contagious outbreaks. Thus, to
be on the safe side, phone prior to leaving home to make sure you are prepared in advance for what to expect.
We look forward to having you
attend the Canadian National Andalusian Show, July 27,28,& 29. Further
information about the show can be
found on the club’s website at
www.PAALH.com. If you have any
questions regarding the show or travel,
I would be happy to help out. Just
phone Bette-Lyn at 604 886-9600 or
leyenda@dccnet.com . Hope to see you
in Canada this summer!
Do you own a breeding stallion?
If so, we would like you to consider joining other members in helping to raise
funds for the club, allowing us to sponsor clinics and other events across the
region. In 2008, we will be organizing a NWAHA stallion breeding auction, similar
to those sponsored by other Andalusian clubs across the country. We already
have several members who have come forward to say they would be willing to
donate a breeding to one of their stallions (thank you, Pedro and Cindy Munoz
Sanchez, Erin Gray, Sharon Gerl, and the DeJongs for indicating that you
would be willing to help in this way!). We will begin advertising the 2008
stallion auction in our next newsletter as well as at the June NWAHA show. If
you are interested in participating, please contact club president Julie Alonzo
(jalonzo@uoregon.edu) so she can begin to organize the promotional materials.
Do you enjoy raffles?
If so, please visit the NWAHA website and purchase tickets for your chance to
win a new rolling tack trunk valued at $650 or stop by the NWAHA booth at the
Northwest Horse Expo in Albany, Oregon on March 23-25th to buy your tickets
in person. Help your club raise funds so we can do more!

Congratulations, USDF Year-End Winners!
It appears that Andalusians
have definitely made great strides
toward breaking the warmblood
hold on dressage, with Rociero XV,
a 1995 Andalusian stallion taking
home the 2006 USDF Horse of the
Year title in Intermediate II.
From our own region, several
familiar names were recently
honored with USDF horse of the
year awards as well. Sharon Gerl’s
new stallion Venturoso HM was
first place purebred Training Level
Open, while her Lipizzan Siglavy
Pachena was awarded first place
purebred First Level Adult Amateur
and second place First Level Open.
And yes, Venturoso IS one of
the two stallions with a 2007
breeding currently being auctioned
as a club fund raiser. Definitely
something you may want to
consider if you are a dressage
enthusiast!
Oregon resident Amber
Johnson rode a part Andalusian
bred by Ami MacHugh (of Jackass
Mountain Ranch in Washington
state) to a year end award. Tracy
Wells (Washington), Kathyn
Gruenefeldt (Oregon) and Diana
O’diear (Washington) were also
honored for their rides in 2006.
Congratulations, all of you!
