Help in Keeping Our Sport a Safe Place
In today's day and age we find the topic of abuse to be at the forefront of many news headlines. It is a troubling topic and one that many would never consider to be a part of their world. However, it is one, that as an association, we urge our members and the equine community to be aware of and to educate themselves about.
A great resource for equestrians is the
USEF Safe Sport Policy
that talks about the different types of misconducts, how to report it and how individuals can train and educate themselves about abuse.
Furthermore,
SafeSport
is an independent non-profit organization whose mission it is "to make athlete well-being the centerpiece of our nation's sports culture". SafeSport was established as a safe place for athletes to learn the signs of misconduct and to report abuse while bringing light to what has been happening in the sport industry. Earlier this year through the support and hard work of SafeSport, President Trump signed bill S.534, the "
Protecting Young Athletes from Sexual Abuse and SafeSport Authorization Act"
which provided "important new standards and protections for athletes", which is a first of its kind. This bill was a tremendous step in the right direction to help bring awareness and aid in ridding any sport industry of abuse. To learn more about SafeSport, visit
www.safesport.org
or call 720.531.0340.
"It highly behooves each and every one of us to understand what constitutes misconduct and abuse to ensure that we don't place ourselves in a questionable position or place others in those positions." said Glenn Petty, Executive Vice President of the Arabian Horse Association (AHA). "Furthermore, we strongly encourage that everyone take the free online training that SafeSport has available to guarantee that they are well-versed on this subject matter."
AHA members can do the free online training in two easy steps. First step, if you don't already have a current
US Equestrian
membership, sign up for a free US Equestrian Fan Membership at
https://members.usef.org/join-renew/fan-application
and use promo code AHA18. Make sure to write down the membership ID number from US Equestrian to use later for the SafeSport Training sign in. Second step, go to
https://safesport.org/authentication/register?token=92e6afd1-c848-4e8b-a844-3c559383f49e
for the SafeSport Training. Here you will use the US Equestrian membership ID number to sign in and create a password. A confirmation email will be sent to the email address used to sign up for SafeSport. Once you have confirmed your email address, you can sign in and complete the SafeSport Training online.
We highly suggest that individuals inform themselves about the topic of abuse to help ensure the safety of all and to aid in bringing higher standards to the equestrian industry. We as an association will continue to strive and to push for continued education and measures from our lawmakers to create an atmosphere where all can feel safe and to enjoy the industry we all love.

Enormous
congratulations
and thank you to Manny Vierra of Valley Oak Arabians in Brentwood, Calif.!!!! Manny is the winning bidder of the Arabian Horse Statue, "Galaxy," who was a part of the illustrious Hollywood Charity Horse show Auction!!! Manny is one of the Nation's most notable breeders of Arabian horses and is a true friend to the Arabian horse, which makes it all the more appropriate that he ends up with this one of a kind piece of art, autographed by William Shatner (aka Captain Kirk)!!!!
This year "Galaxy" was the biggest revenue producer that the auction has seen in years and we truly thank all that believed in this project and again extend our upmost
congratulations
and gratitude to Mr. Manny Vierra of Valley Oak Arabians!!!!- Trevor Miller/Region 3

Members of Region 3 enjoyed a full weekend June 8-10 promoting the Arabian horse at Sacramento's Horse Expo. Thanks to an all-star crew headed by Margie Pope and company. Hundreds of fair-goers, adult and children alike, enjoyed live demonstrations and a special appearance from Legend, The Warrior Horse. Mounted demonstrators displayed the versatility of the proud breed with Native Costume, Endurance, Dressage, Western and Trail tack attire. A big thank you goes out to riders for their participation: Grace Pope riding Fadjurzaine (Endurance), Brittani Edwards riding Spirit (Costume), Danielle Weeks riding In Sync aka Boomer (Reining), Sandy Smyth-Reedy riding KL Enchantyng aka Izzy (Working Western), Angelique (Angel) Noonis riding A Sweet Temptation aka Sweetie (Hunt and three-Day Eventing).
Valerie Baker of Whitehorse Dressage brought several horses and riders, many of them children, to demonstrate the gentleness and versatility of the breed. Joining the six rider team from White Horse Dressage included riders Timothy Moss, Lauren Gervais, Lucy Bartlett, Dakota Weinberger, Lucy Bartlett, Dakota Weinberger and Savannah Sheldon.
Thanks also to booth tenders Margaret Culver, Sandy Smyth-Reedy, Keira and Michael Siegel. Legend is a delight to have and most definitely a big star of the show but thanks to the crew at Jack Tone Ranch for their help in making sure Legend made the trip safely. It took more than an hour to bubble wrap, load onto the trailer and fasten down securely so as to not sustain injury or damage (Grace, Peg, Sydney, Federico, Peggy and Sydney Morrisey, and a special thanks to mom Kathleen Tone for her unending support, packing, unpacking, set-up, bathing and trailering horses thru-out the entire three day event.) - Thank you so much!
Legend, the Warrior Horse was joined by Region 3 Director Cheryl Hansen and horse rescue expert Linda Siegel of Magical Ranch in Loomis who answered dozens of questions ranging from horse registration, club activities, local shows, rides, activities, and to share with all who simply wanted to share their own personal stories and pictures. Many referrals where handed out for local clubs, trainers, horseback riding programs, breeding farms and trusted vendors. Thanks again to all the volunteers, riders, organizers for your dedication to promoting our beloved breed.
