Scottsdale Show News - Sunday February 15, 2015
SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 15, 2015
Welcome to the 2015 Scottsdale Arabian Horse Show News and Reviews for Sunday, February 15th. The sponsor for today’s news is Scheier Farm, Patti and Mike Scheier, breeders and owners of the Unanimous Scottsdale Arabian Horse Breeder Classic Egyptian Heritage Senior Stallion – SF VERAZ.
SF Veraz is a multi-champion stallion. Patti Scheier’s objective in having Ted Carson present Veraz at Scottsdale this year goes far beyond another title or trophy. She wanted breeders to have a chance to see Veraz in person. His photos are gorgeous – but they cannot convey the size, stature and spirit of this remarkable stallion. For Patti, it’s all about giving Veraz, and those who have bred to him, every opportunity to create the best possible foal.
Veraz has been very successful in producing champion offspring. But we all know, that not every breeding results in the foal of our dreams. Patti has created a great support team for Veraz with Ted Carson at his training facility in North Carolina. Together, they came up with an innovative incentive for breeders who have already bred their mare to Veraz and who have one of his offspring. It’s called the DADDY DO OVER. Here are the details.
With the Daddy Do Over, a breeder who still owns their Veraz offspring can send photos and video of their horse to Patti and Ted. They will review and evaluate all submitted materials and then, Ted and Patti will select five breeders to receive a free rebreed. Prerequisites for this incentive include the following: the breeder must own the horse, the horse must be sound and it must have current health papers. The owner must ship the horse to either Ted Carson’s facility in North Carolina or to Scheier Farm in Arizona. The owner of the horse is responsible for all shipping costs. The horse then becomes the property of Scheier farm. Owner must provide registration papers or authorization form for unregistered foal.
In return, the Scheiers will give the breeder one (1) breeding, which includes one (1) shipment of cooled semen. The mare owner is responsible for the Fed-Ex shipping charges and any costs to breed their mare, The breeder may select the same mare or choose another to breed to Veraz. However, the breeding cannot be sold or transferred. This amazing opportunity is limited to five breeders and ends on April 15, 2015.
Patti Scheier explained the inspiration for this unprecedented breeding incentive, “We stand behind Veraz and we want to give breeders every chance to produce the foal of their dreams. The Veraz offspring are so special. Not only are they gorgeous halter horses, they are really excelling in performance too. Ted and Brandi’s daughter Michaiah is nine-years-old. The other day she showed a four-year-old Veraz son. They placed top ten here at Scottsdale. They came out of the ring and her little brother Inman, aged six, took the horse in and showed him in a back-to-back class. That’s typical of the Veraz babies – they are just so great to be around.”
For details on the Daddy Do Over breedingt incentive and to see Veraz in person, stop by Ted Carson’s stalls on Thursday, the 19th after morning classes for a special presentation. You can also contact Ted Carson at www.tedcarson.com
As I was enjoying classes yesterday morning, they announced that it is the 60th Anniversary of the Scottsdale Arabian Horse Show. It rather shocked me when I realized that this is my 30th anniversary of coming to the show. So many beautiful and talented horses, so many wonderful, unusual and memorable people and experiences. I began to ask others about their Scottsdale memories and the stories are nothing short of amazing! It seems everyone remembers their first trip to Scottsdale. I plan to share some of them throughout the days ahead because I think you might enjoy them – I know I did.
