23.01.2022 Hi All I am happy to introduce you to one of our judges for the 2021 AHAA Virtual Show judge - Kim Parks! Kim will be judging the Horse and Handler, Costume an...d Lunging classes. This is Kim’s bio: Like most young girls all I ever wanted to do was be with horses. I was lucky enough to have parents that indulged my passion. In the early 70's the now "Stoneleigh Stud" was purchased at Cobbitty NSW.We owned many perfect ponies surprisingly I lived through every one of them, learnt a lot the hard way until in 1976 when my love for the Andalusian breed began. My mother Bev Parks, met Ray Williams, one of the founders of the AHAA and the owner of the El Caballo Blanco, stud and entertainment centre in Perth WA, where he started a cross breeding programme that would introduce, in the long term, the Australian Andalusian. In 1977 Mr Williams built another El Caballo Blanco Catherine field NSW. I was to be the first-ever employee at NSW ECB From this my love, involvement and knowledge of this beautiful breed, grew.1981 I was lucky enough to be chosen to head up the venture to move 32 of his beautiful horses Buena Park California USA where he opened The Kingdom of Dancing Stallions and to see and experience hands, on the wonderful diversity, beautiful nature and natural calm of this incredible breed. I returned to Australia in 1982 where, my now wife, Michelle, were able to make a living out of training these beautiful horses and their riders. For the next 15 or so, successfully involved in competing/promoting these wonderful horses. I always entered in every class that was available and gave it my all. Because of our beautiful horses, Gallina, Diamond Girl and Manuka Montoya, I had the privilege of being the holder of the coveted Bodeguero trophy on many occasions, along with the pride of owning/campaigning 3 state and National champions titles that were achieved simultaneously and numerous times. My competition days are behind me. I will always remember them fondly and cherish the hands-on knowledge and experience gained through the years, attributes I call on when I have the opportunity to participate as a Judge. I consider it an honour to be asked to continue my involvement with this regal breed and across the years, I have had the pleasure of doing so, on many occasions. Too many to list them all, hundreds of local shows, 6 State Championships, Perth Nationals and 2 x Sydney Royal Easter shows. As of 2020 We still live on our property in Cobbitty NSW with two geriatrics down the back,1 of which is Gallina'sgrandson See more

14.01.2022 Meet your Partbred judge for the 2021 AHAA Virtual Show - Adrienne Staples Adrienne has owned horses since she was 10 years old and has been involved with the S...panish Horse, riding, breeding and judging for thirty years. In the former part of her riding career she was a successful show jumping and eventing rider before dressage became her main focus in her early thirties. It was this switch that brought her in to contact with Iberian Horses, meeting a new friend who owned one of the early partbreds imported into New Zealand. From this developed a passion for the PRE and an interest in classical training. She and her husband Don stood three PRE stallions and produced many successful offspring. Adrienne has travelled widely in Spain and Portugal visiting studs, trainers and judges to further her knowledge. She no longer competes but still rides two of her three purebred geldings and trains just for fun. See more

06.01.2022 Updated AHAA Show Rules The AHAA show rules have recently been updated and can be viewed on our website as posted previously. There have been some enquiries abo...ut the new Rule 13 which states: "The trimming of whiskers around the muzzle and eyes or inner ear hair is a welfare issue and is strongly discouraged at AHAA events." The Rule was introduced because it is now widely recognised that whiskers (called vibrissae) have a rich nerve supply and are important to horses. They protect delicate tissue and compensate for blind spots. Trimming of whiskers and inner ear hair has been banned in numerous countries including Germany (where it has been banned since 1998), Switzerland and France. From 1 August 2020, New Zealand has also banned it. (More info can be found at https://www.nzequestrian.org.nz/wp-c/uploads/PP-GR-132.pdf).
