Region 11
So many things have happened this summer in Region XI. We are so pleased that our Regional Championship show at the Illinois State Fairgrounds in Springfield, Ill. was a great show! Although there were not as many horses as usual this year due in part to people concerned about possible construction (of which there was none), we still had excellent horses and our judges were extremely complimentary on the quality of horses in the classes. Although the weather for the pre-show was in the 90's with high humidity, that changed mid afternoon with rains coming through and the weather for the rest of the show was delightful with lower temperatures and lower humidity. A true blessing for any horse show! We even had some exhibitors ride up from the barrel racing show that was in the large outdoor rodeo arena come up to see what our Arabians were doing!
Region XI is also bursting with pride in announcing that our Region XI youth co-directors were both elected to positions on the AHYA Executive Board. Savanna DeMott was elected as Vice President and Ashley Lounsberry was elected as Secretary. They also, along with our Youth Coordinator Val Waggoner, were asked to speak to the Youth Board and give taped interviews on our Region XI Ambassador Buckle program. Don't be surprised if you see more in the future about this excellent program which has taken wing and could make its way to many more areas of the AHA world!
We still have a lot of ways to have fun with your horses in Region XI coming up this year! Included in these are many disciplines with which to participate with your equine partner, so come on over and have some fun!

The 2018 Region 15 Championship show was a success!
Thank you to all the exhibitors who attended and supported the show. We would also like to thank our judges, show staff, volunteers, patrons, sponsors and vendors for their support - it is very much appreciated.
We received great feedback from our exhibitors on the judging panels, and the Saturday night session being held "Outside Under the Lights" was well received. Our horse numbers were up and the weather for July actually cooperated toward the end of the week. We are also pleased to announce our fundraiser raised $2,100 to support the Iron Horse Therapy Program.
We would like to Congratulate our Region 15 Scholarship winner - Ms. Kobe Anne Pielow.
Kobe will be attending Kutztown University of PA this fall.
Plans are already underway for 2019 - Thanks again everyone!

The Arabian Sport Horse Extravaganza has been postponed until August. Details to follow!
Old Dominion AHA
It is now time to brag a little bit on some of our own. Back in march, our Youth Coordinator, Hannah Darby, along with the Bayview team, organized 6,or more, fundraisers to help get some ODAHA kids to Youth Nationals, who otherwise might not be able to afford it. Well, all the kids stepped up to the plate, and hit home runs! These kids worked so hard that seven of them are headed to Oklahoma City. We salute their efforts to reach that goal, and wish all seven (that's right 7) of them the best of luck at Youth Nationals.
ODAHA's "MAGNIFICENT SEVEN" are, Gabby Courtney, Isabella Bono-Evans, Haley Flory, Elizabeth Graves, Nathaniel Hume, Scott Hume, and Kylie Vergara. Hannah Darby will be with them, as well as parents, some Bayview team coaching people, and friends.
I wish to congratulate these ODAHA youth, and their mentors for proving this could happen. We thank the parents for allowing these kids to experience the joy of the Arabian horse.
Bill Jenkins, Pres., Old Dominion Arabian Horse Asso.

Here's to you Dee Frey!!!! A special Tribute organized by Mary Trowbridge and friends at Region 16, Syracuse, NY
Dee's hobby and passion was her love of horses.
She raised several Arabian Horses, of which many became National Champions, including her hunter "
Sahara Lahib
"
which was crowned the very first National Champion Open Hunter with Scot Phelan, and Kaboom was a multi National Champion in Park and English Pleasure.
She was also an active member of the Arabian Horse Association. Dee passed away June 7, 2018.
In classic Dee-Style, everyone joined in to toast this great lady Friday night, July 13, 2018 at Region 16 before the evening classes. A grand celebration to give her the "Going Away Party" she so richly deserves at the show grounds she loved the most. See Dee's video tribute, click here: https://vimeo.com/279159269
Also, during the amazing Dee Frey Presentation at Region 16 the first ever Dee's Legacy Award was presented to Alice Spinella and Marcia Schwartz!
It was and will be awarded to the person or persons within the region each year who exemplify the best of Dee's legacy of love and support for the Arabian breed, and for encouraging and cheering equally for everyone within the Arabian horse show circuit.
One of the best ladies I ever knew! I am a better person because of her! ~ a loving friend
Region 16 is a wrap. We had a great time. The party Mary Trowbridge threw for Dee Frey was unbelievable seeing many that weren't showing but came for the event for a special lady! ~ Marlene Duttry
Thank you to all who celebrated Dee last night at Region 16! She would have loved it, and I know was smiling up there!!! ~ Jenn Trickey
This celebration of Dee's life is an amazing tribute. Some people give energy and happiness to everyone around them and that was Dee. She fit right in with the Trowbridge Green Team whom I admire so much. Thank you so much Mary Trowbridge, your team and to all my Arabian horse lovers friends for being so special. Words cannot express how much you all mean to me. To be associated with Dee, all of you and the Arabian family is a gift.
~ Alice Spinella

Region 17
Region 17 Championship Show Review:
A great 2018 Regional
show
was held at the Thunderbird Show Park in Langley, BC.
This is an incredibly beautiful horse facility and all who attended were impressed with the multiple show rings, warm up areas and how well laid out the facility is and how much fun the show is with many social activities woven into the show program.
Many people have commented on the great judging panel. This year's panel was:
- Main Ring : Michael Beethe, Kathy Callahan-Smith and Jeremy Harper.
- Dressage : Virginia Allen
- Sport Horse in Hand & Under Saddle - Dressage Type: Nancy Olson
- Sport Horse in Hand and Under Saddle - Hunter Type and Working Hunter : Lisa Ander
Rob Hess provided great photos that will provide memories for many years!
The Region 17 Select Stallion futurity classes had great pay outs, with the largest one being just over $8,000. If you are interested in buying a breeding, the auction is still open for another week!
Next year's show returns to Calgary and we hope many more will come and join in us in this fun, competitive event!
The Calgary AHA once again participated in the Calgary Stampede parade. They won the coveted award for the best mounted group. The following link offers you a view of this incredible group in the parade.
