Vintage Classic - POST EXCHANGE+//


POST EXCHANGE+// is a 1983 Anglo-Arabian stallion, 2X National Champion Working Hunter AAOTR and Reserve National Champion Hunter Hack AAOTR. He has also won USEF National HOTY honors and countless Regional and Class A Championships in Working Hunter. He had a career as an event horse before heading to the hunter ring in Open competitions, garnering many year-end awards.


Post Exchange’s Arabian side begins with his sire, SUNSET ENZIO, who has proven himself a versatile sire of Eventers, Dressage Horses, Working Hunters, Driving Horses etc. Enzio competed successfully in Dressage through Fourth Level, evented through Preliminary division, Combined Driving and even some Competitive Trail. Few horses given every possible chance in the competitive arena accomplish as much or show such versatility. When owner Ann McKay was forced to compete Enzio at Training Level due to an injury to her back, they came in 2nd three times to a USET team rider with the difference in penalty points being less than 2 points for the three events! Ann's daughter Chris also competed Enzio at Prelim before he retired from eventing.

ENZIO’s success as a sport horse is hardly suprising, given his sire's show record and his dam's breeding. His sire AAZRAK (Aaraf x Aazkara) was an extraordinary athlete and sire of many, many eventing, dressage, hunter, driving, and pleasure Arabians, Anglo- and Half-Arabians. Boasting an amazing show record, Aazrak was the horse to beat in hunter, jumper, dressage, hunter hack, English pleasure, Western pleasure, pole bending, stock horse, trail horse and harness classes at all the Arabian and all breed shows all over the East Coast. He was champion or reserve champion in numerous competitive trail rides at 25 and 50 miles, qualified for the Arabian national championships, and was a New Jersey High Point award winner in the early 1960s. Some of his get were ARZAB, a champion 3-day and competitive trail horse: FRALIK, an international show jumper; COREOGRAPHER, DISCOTHEQUE and WATERFOOT LARRIKEN, all winning event horses.

AAZRAK’s sire Aaraf was by *Raffles and out of Aarah (Ghadaf x Nadirat by *Rizvan). His dam Aazkara was by the Rahas son Azkar and out of Aarah, making his sire and dam half brother and sister.

ENZIO’s dam Lamia-Kay was out of Never Die Holly, a product of the Asmis breeding program. The partnership of Carl Asmis and Never Die Holly's sire Rafmirz was well-known for elegant exhibitions of FEI level dressage. Lamia-Kay's sire Ibn Baruk was a great-grandson of *Sulejman and *Fadl, who were both athletic and versatile riding horses. Ibn Baruk also had lines through his dam to action sire *Berk and multiple crosses to the exceptional hunter *Naomi through the inbred mare Haaranmin.

The Thoroughbred side is no less stellar. His dam was REREGRET, a race mare that produced several successful show hunters. She was sired by SUN AGAIN, a winner of over $150K, with wins in Arlington Futurity, Juvenile S, Riggs H, Drexel H, Dixie H, Equipoise Mile H, Gittings H, Southern Maryland H, Mclennan H. His sire was SUN TEDDY (*TEDDY –FR), a top sire at Calumet Farms.

Her dam was PENITENCE, who was sired by BULL LEA, winner of close to $95K in the James C. Thornton Memorial H., Autumn H., Blue Grass S., Kenner S., Pimlico H., Widener H. He stood at Calumet in KY, and was leading US sire 1947-49, 1952 & 1953 and leading US Broodmare Sire from 1958-1961.

BULL LEA was the sire of 1948 Triple Crown Winner CITATION, whose record stood for 25 years and was the first millionaire racehorse; COALTOWN winner of over $400K and 1949 Horse of the Year; ARMED, 1947 Horse of the Year and winner of over $800K.

As a sire, Post Exchange has offspring in open and breed competitions in eventing, hunters, jumpers, driving, distance and dressage.

This 15.3 1/2h grey stallion also earned over 30 points in Hunter Pleasure and is thus qualified for both Purebred Hunter Pleasure and Open Senior Stallion Halter for US Nationals. One judge commented "It is so nice to see a performance horse in the halter ring..." Aria Il Bacio once again shows what a GREAT producer he is. E Major Vivaldi is typical of Aria Il Bacio's foals. Easy to train and lovely to be around...winners in performance and in halter.

Another son, Siemper-Fidelis AKB (above), a 17h gelding who is still growing, showed for the first time and won his Sport Horse in hand class AS WELL AS was champion AA/HA Stock Hunter type gelding in hand at the HAAM Showtime show in East Lansing, Michigan.

His half Arabians are stellar, and his purebreds are now being sold overseas.

....................................................

Another report from Culpeper from Evergreen Farm, home of KKOI:

Raining Ribbons!
We are back from another long weekend show. We left on Thursday to head down to Culpeper, VA for the VAHA Arabian Show and Futurity. Amongst the rain showers, the rigs began to arrive. It was, as per usual, a show filled with fun, excitement and friends, both old and new. We stalled with Wendy Spangler and Fireproof Number One, aka Gem, and met up with Dona Hoffman and Future Image while there. We had another jaw dropping performance from all of our horses and our stall drapes were filled with ribbons. We brought EF Llameri, our just turned three last week filly, EF KKlassique Beauty++ and East of Eden, aka Blossom. Both EF KKlassique Beauty++ and EF Llameri are by our stallion, KKoi. East of Eden will be temporary retired from showing next spring for her first foray into the breeding shed.

We spent all of Thursday afternoon unpacking and getting the horses settled into their temporary living arrangements. Friday morning arrived and so did the in hand classes. Meri was a winner in her class with me at the end of the reins and Blossom won her class as well. Friday night was the SHUS classes. This would prove to be the best showing yet for all the girls, both equine and human. We rocked! We were going in and out of class after class; it was reminiscent of my old hunter days, standing around the ring, meeting the other competitors and making friends along the way. Quite frequently after each class, we were walking out with the top spots. If we weren’t first and second we were second and third. In one class, we took a clean sweep of Blossom-1st, Meri-2nd and Gem-3rd. Beauty could not show in these classes, as she was the only purebred of the bunch. She and I stepped in and out of the purebred classes with blues as well!

Saturday morning brought the first dressage classes of the show. It was a bit daunting for me as I was riding my first First Level test off the farm. While we are building a full size dressage arena on the farm, it is nowhere near completion so I have not had the opportunity to ride it in a full size arena yet. I managed my way through and got a second in the class. The score was a very respectable 60.6%. I’ll take it. I rode Meri in Training Level Test One for Junior Horses and got a first with a 64.8%. Once again, I’ll take that! Rachel, after the past year and a half of hard work and dedication to Blossom’s recovery from Lyme disease, rode a beautiful Training One test to a score of 60.0%. Christine, Meri’s teenage rider, continued to show Meri in dressage with scores consistently in the 60’s.

Early Saturday evening, after a brief encounter with a suspected funnel cloud, the stage was set for the Championship classes. We entered four classes and brought home a third, two reserves and champion. We were very proud of the accomplishments of our young riders and young horses. The storm that had passed through put the horses and riders a bit on edge. We handily got through the evening with smiles all around.

More rain and then finally a bit of sun ushered in Sunday morning’s dressage classes. We all had a repeat of Saturday’s line-up. We each had two classes. Once again the ribbons came. The horses were a bit tired as were most of the horses on the grounds that weekend. The storms were huge and the rain was plentiful. Overall, we had a fabulous time. We rekindled friendships with people we haven’t seen in a while and made a whole host of new ones. Christine commented that the people at Arab shows were all so friendly and the atmosphere was so relaxed and friendly. “It wasn’t even like being at an “A” show”. Welcome to the Arabian Sport Horse Show Arena, Christine, welcome!

Shipping to Canada


We have heard from some Canadian breeders that they are being told that shipping semen to Canada from the US is "impossible" due to the CEM outbreak here.

NOT TRUE!

There are some extra regulations that stallion owners must comply with, but it is far from impossible.

Canadian mare owners must apply for a permit through the CFIA. Here is the application. It is suggested that you apply for Multiple Entry to allow for multiple stallions and/or shipments. This permit is then forwarded to the stallion owner to be included with the shipment.

The stallion owner must have their vet AND a USDA vet sign a health certificate for the stallion on the day of collection as well. Check with the stallion owner regarding any cost associated with this step (a courier may be necessary).

As always, communication between both parties is the key to a successful transaction!
