House, DVM, DACVIM American Quarter Horses Compete in CRI2* Event at AQHA World Championship ShowThe American Quarter Horse Journal, November 17, 2009 — On Monday, November 16, 2009, the American Quarter Horse Association hosted an International Equestrian Federation CRI2* (Concours de Reining Internationale) event at State Fair Park in Oklahoma City. The FEI competition took place in conjunction with the senior reining preliminaries during the FedEx Open AQHA World Championship Show. “We had a great event here during the World Show, which can be told by the number of entries we had – 15 – and especially the five international entries that we had,” said AQHA Professional Horseman Pete Kyle, who won the November 16 event aboard Gimme Major Bucks, scoring a 217.5. The Whitesboro, Texas, horseman is also the chair of the United States Equestrian Federation Reining High Performance Committee. “It was one of our qualifiers for the U.S. Team Selection Trial to be held at the Battle in the Saddle in July 2010 in Oklahoma City,” Kyle added.

The legendary painting by the late American Quarter Horse Hall of Fame member Orren Mixer was purchased by Hendrik and Lettie Smeding of Pope Valley, California, via telephone bid. The painting was commissioned by Rex Cauble, the last recorded owner of Wimpy P-1, the first horse registered with the American Quarter Horse Association at its founding. It was consigned by Reynolds and Lisa Moreland of Mays Lick, Kentucky, who purchased the painting from Cauble prior to his death in 2003. “We had inquiries about the painting,” Reynolds said about his decision to sell the painting, the original of an iconic image of Wimpy P-1 used publicly for decades. “I had people approach me to give it away.” Read more> http://www.horsesinthesouth.com/article/article_detail.aspx?id=8892 FEI Extraordinary General Assembly Votes against New StatutesCopenhagen (DEN), 17 November 2009 – Today, 17 November, the FEI Extraordinary General Assembly, held in Copenhagen (DEN), voted against the adoption of new Statutes for the restructuring of the FEI Bureau, the current governing body. A hundred and two (102) National Federations were represented, 85 in person and 17 by proxy. Out of 98 valid votes cast, there were 49 against, 48 in favour and one abstention. Consequently, the FEI will continue to be governed by a 19-member Bureau rather than the proposed seven-member Board. The FEI modernisation process, championed by former FEI President HRH Doña Pilar de Borbón, began 12 years ago and was accepted in principle by the FEI General Assembly in 2005 in London. The main objective of the proposed reform is to achieve a smaller and dynamic Board, which is both competency based and regionally balanced. Today’s vote was preceded by extensive consultation which took place throughout the summer ensuring National Federations were listened to and that their feedback was integrated as much as possible. In order to ensure regional representation, the original proposal was to have no more than two members per continent. On the basis of additional feedback from National Federations in South and Central America, it was modified not to allow more than one member per Regional Group. To guarantee the respect of democratic principles also called upon by European National Federations, the proposed election process provided for all candidates to be put to the vote of the General Assembly. The modernisation process will not be on the agenda of the 2010 General Assembly, given the FEI’s need to focus on a number of priorities in the areas of development, horse welfare and commercial initiatives, among others. An additional factor is that 2010 is an election year in the FEI. Media Contact: Malina Gueorguiev FEI Communications +41 78 750 61 33 |
