With a certain delay
in respect to last year’s election and
verdict which took place during the
CHI-Geneva at Palexpo, the Jury of this
second edition of the « Horse of the
World Special Award » only pronounced on
the occasion of the « Mercedes-CSI
Zurich 2014 » at the Hallenstadion in
the Swiss banking capital.
Questioned about the
reasons for having thus displaced the
date of this announcement, Jamil
Boukarabila put it this way : « It is,
of course, with great regret on our part
that the horse show in Geneva was no
longer able to be the venue of this
announcement. We are obliged to follow
the change which indeniably puts, from
now on, the great horse show of Zurich
as one of the major events of the
international scene in the discipline,
in front of all the Swiss horse shows.
The engagement and visibility of the
very first sponsors at Zurich,
Mercedes-Benz for a long time, but also
Rolex until last year since associated
with the final of the World Show-Jumping
Cup, and so many others, also convinced
us to make this choice. Even so it is
necessary to point out that probably, in
order to remain in the Swiss Romande, we
would have opted for the LONGINE GLOBAL
CHAMPIONS TOUR of Jan Tops at Lausanne,
if i twas not held so late in the
season.
At this beginning of
2014, horse lovers, and enthusiasts of
Equidae in general, welcomed with
surprise but enthusiasm the announcement
of the result of this prize for the
second year awarded to an original
enterprise where Equidae are kings,
above all economics interests and the
recommendations of the usual circles
engaged in competitions at the highest
level. The Beni-Ammar Festival, but ther
also its courageous, innovative Moroccan
inhabitants in the spirit of their
enterprise are thus the winners of this
second « Horses of the World Special
Award ».

Here
is the official annoucement of
the jury of Horses of the World,
made public at the awarding of
the prizes of the Mercedes
Classic-Longines FEI World Cup
(which crowned Toulago and his
rider Pius Schwizer, who again
entered the Top Ten) :
« Horses of the World has the
great Honour this year of
awarding its prize also, to all
the participants, contributors,
creators and visitors to the
Beni-Ammar Festival, and,
through themselves, to the
wonderful Moroccan people who
managed to reconcile Modernity
with the « poor parent » of
Grand Prix horses, doubtlessly
the people of today with most
deserving four-legged companions
of their ancestors. And all
this, in the framework of a
great cultural assembly, in a
small city on a mountain side,
that of Moulay Driss Zerhoune,
near to the imperial Moroccan
town of Meknès. This recognition
on the part of our media is thus
to reward the Mohammed Bellemou
cousins, choristers of the
Moroccan Culture and protectors
of the most injustly contempted
animal in the course of our
history ».

Sax - Arabians
Why do agents and trainers
carry out periodic visits to the important Arabian stud
farm |
|
▲ |
|
During our last visit to Sax-Arabians, the
horse broker Jamil Boukarabila was just in the process of
examining the foals which had just been born in this beginning
of 2004 along with some important people from his "entourage".
We took advantage of this by asking him to explain the reasons for
his visit
Horses of the World: Is such a visit just by
chance?
Jamil Boukarabila: Not at all; I'll try
to come here to the Rheinhard Sax several times a year, for you
have here one of the best quality Arabian stud in Europe. It's
the kind of place where you have every chance of finding
champion material if you keep your eye on the births and the
first months of growths of the foals.
The installations here at Sax-Arabians allow
you to do good work and even assist you in your selection...!?
Oh, yes, it's a delight to come to work here. Reinhard Sax is
not only an attentive host, he is also a remarkable leader who
directs his team with the hand of the master. Here at Reinhard
Sax you do not waste your time and you see the horses in the
best conditions which is not always easy on a stud farm.
Apart from the quality of the horses, what
do you appreciate most at Sax-Arabians?
The great commercial sense of Reinhard Sax in the best sense
of the word. As well as the great company leader that he has
always been Reinhard Sax welcomes everybody in an admirable way.
In fact, he does not treat visitors as simple "strollers" in the
contry...but rather as potential partners whose stakes are
always for him an affair of the heart.
As soon as you arrive at Sax-Arabians, you are given all
information you need about the horses which interest you: press
book, photographs, videos, etc... a really comprehensive file.
It's in this way that I regard the excellent horse promotion
work !!
Reinhard Sax' postcards
Horses of the World would like to thank
Reinhard Sax for agreeing to publish a few photographs taken on
his stud farm in Bavaria. Having always been a great enthusiast
of art and architecture Reinhard Sax shows himself to be one of
the great artists of specialised Arab thoroughbred photography.
Here is a short glimpse of his works:

The breeding of the Arab thoroughbred -(arabian
horse)- in Europe is beginning to be noticed more and more on
the international scene. European breeders have done research
work throughout the world so as to regenerate their breeding and
numerous horses, imported from Bresil, have made their entry on
the European soil.
We shall just mention here Bint Shaklina
exported to England, who has had a phenomenal racing season
winning the title of Champion of the Nations'Cup and World
Elite, along with
Laman HVP, a young national champion from Bresil who is now
coming up in Germany at Sax-Arabians. There are also numerous
other subjects who are going to help European breeding evolve
which is not failing to get itself noticed.
In the U.S.A., it was first of all ZT
Shakfantasy Triple Crown Champion in Europe who began in
2000 by winning the prestigious Scottsdale race and this year it
was the turn of the great European Champion FS Bengali to
distinguish himself in the same race, becoming the great
Champion. We already know that another French stallion, last
year's vice-Champion of Europe, is going to make his entry on
American soil.
Europe exports to the U.S.A., but there is an
unbeatable American stallion who is making his mark forever on
European and World breeding. This is the National Champion of
the U.S.A.,
Magnum Psyche, an offspring of the legendary Padrons Psyche
and a mare of spanish origin. In the U.S.A. in 2001, his young
offsprings won 149 victories !! But his products are also
successful in Europe as junior vice-Champion of Europe and the
World in 2001. Ce Magnum , belonging to -and bred by- the
excellent Swatam Arabians Stable in Belgium, made a lightening
ascension last year when only one year old. A splendid young
horse on whom it will be necessary to count for European
breeding. Another son of Magnum Psyche in Europe and no
less successful is WH Justice. In the top-ten at
Scottsdale in the U.S.A., National Vice-Champion in Italy and
World Elite in 2001. A fascinating young stallion, of a rare and
extreme kind, belonging to Equid System Ltd. in Italy. WH
Justice sired this year for the first time with mares of
renown in Europe and he represents today one of the most exotic
stallions in Europe and he is really catching attention.
We will also mention Marissa Rose, a
young filly of Magnum Psyche, who was in the World Elite
in 2001 at the age of one year.
An effervescence and world dynamism is really
being felt in the European market around the Arab thoroughbred,
which is offering us, thanks to the work and enthusiasm of
certain breeders, more and more beautiful and fascinating
subjects. The Arabian Horse is being given a new dimension, the
dream is becoming absolute and the market flourishes.

The market of Arabian horses is flourishing again, as the highly
qualitive horses sold very well last year whatever the
discipline they belong to. However, the highest prices were paid
for 2 Arabians in Show-section, as 800'000 USD and 600'000 USD
were respectively paid at the french "salon du cheval 2000".
The Arab countries are stimulating for a large part the world
market through the aquisition of the best champions of show ant
the best stallions during the past three years.
New investors are comming from England, Turkey, South-Africa,
Israel and participate in business transactions with the Middle
East and big exporting countries like Brazil, Autralia and
Europe where very good horses were bred in the last years.
Big stallions on the international market at the moment:
- El Shaklan, recently deceased, represented trhough many of his
sons, among them: ZT Shakfantasy and Sanadik El Shaklan.
- Padrons Psyche, who is floding the international market
with his foals born everywhere on the four continents.
- Monogramm, used by the Polish who did with him a very
special stallion.
- TR Viktor, the european phenomenon with wider potential.
