Yardah Domingo WASJA june09
Written by admin on July 8, 2009 – 5:40 pm -
Domingo (AKA The Tail) began his Showjumping career for a bit of fun in March 2009 with a Young Rider. He has since successfully worked his way through the heights to 1.25m where he is now extremely competitive. His temperament is impeccable and he has passed this, as well as his stunning looks, to his progeny. Domingos temperament is such that Marji trusts him to be ridden by her young Grandchildren. He is also used as a school horse by visiting students at Yardah to train in Horsemastership and the Classical Equestrian Arts.Domingo is a PRE (Pura Raza Espanola), or as is more commonly known, the Pure Spanish Andalusian. Pure Spanish horses that are registered in the Studbook in Spain are correctly referred to as PRE, but are commonly referred to as “Andalusian’s.”
Andalusians are famous for their ability in performing Haute Ecole and Airs Above the Ground. That is, they are trained to jump over nothing! Now Domingo is learning how to jump over Something!
Domingo is the son of the famous Royal Champion Dulcero who was Champion Ridden Stallion at the Perth Royal Show beating all comers for 7 consecutive years. Dulcero also had a successful dressage career and was the favoured mount of Mestre Nuno Oliveira when he was teaching in Western Australia. Nuno can be seen riding Dulcero on the following links:
Dulcero is the male progenitor of the Spanish Warmblood breed.
Yardah horses are bred, and prepared for, long term soundness of body and mind. These horses have the advantage or being raised and run as a herd in a natural environment in large paddocks. This gives them the opportunity to develop and maintain their proprioreception. Horses which are born, raised and kept in small unnatural areas never have the chance of confronting their brain with this necessary sensory input.
Yardah horses do not start their training until they are at least 4 years old. They are trained on the flat both ridden and in-hand according to the classical principles, thus ensuring that they are strong, balanced, posturally correct and supple so that they can willingly do the job requested. This then reduces the risk of injury caused by unnecessary physical and mental stress. As they are all natural jumpers, it is then only a matter of them gaining the experience from attending competitions and practice sessions.
Marjis vision was (and still remains) to develop a breed of pleasurable, easily trained, and talented Dressage and jumping horses which are also suitable for riders with a passion for the Classical Equestrian Arts.
These horses are all competing in snaffle bits and Marjis ultimate aim is that a noseband, if any, will only be worn for cosmetic purposes; and that the horses will be trained so correctly that they will not need a martingale. Although in reality. nosebands and martingales may be worn as an insurance policy in important events.
Like all the other Yardah stallions, Domingo is available at stud this season and his progeny can be dual registered in both the Andalusian Horse ociation of Australia studbook and the Spanish Warmblood studbook.
A visit to our web site yardah.com will show more photos and other video links. PLEASE NOTE this site is currently being upgraded and we expect a much better quality product with more information to be completed by early July 09.
Purchase enquiries of horses and semen should be directed to our email yardah@westnet.com.au
Joint venture opportunities also available.

THE HORSES OF JEREZ
Written by admin on July 8, 2009 – 5:40 pm -
THE HORSES OF JEREZ…
The Horses at the Royal Andalusian School of Equestrian Art in Jerez de la Frontera, Spain.
These pure bred Spanish horses put on quite a show inside the arena which last about 2 hours. Filming inside will get your stuff confiscated, but you may film some of the horses outside in the training area before the show.
They are truly magnificent animals of great beauty and strength.
Jerez is where you can also enjoy “Flamenco en Vivo” in the Barrio Santiago, which is considered to be the birthplace of this Berber, Moorish, and Gypsy art form in Europe.
Jerez is also known for it’s Sherry (Uh….the kind you drink), and Grand Prix motorcycle racing.
You can learn more about the School here:

The great thoroughbred horses
Written by admin on July 8, 2009 – 5:40 pm -
WEB: http://www.pedigreequery.com .
Django Reinhardt, Stephan Grapelli, Sidney Bechet.
The Thoroughbred is a horse breed best known for its use in horse racing. Although the word “thoroughbred” is sometimes used to refer to any breed of purebred horse, it technically refers only to the Thoroughbred breed. Thoroughbreds are considered a “hot-blooded” horse, known for their agility, speed and spirit.
The Thoroughbred as it is known today was first developed in 17th and 18th century England, when native mares were crossbred with imported Arabian stallions. All modern Thoroughbreds can trace their pedigrees to three stallions originally imported into England in the 1600s and 1700s, and to 74 foundation mares of English and Oriental (Arabian or Barb) blood. During the 1700s and 1800s, the Thoroughbred breed spread throughout the world; they were imported into North America starting in 1730 and into Australia, Europe, Japan and South America during the 1800s. Millions of Thoroughbreds exist worldwide today, with over 118,000 foals registered each year worldwide.
Thoroughbreds are used mainly for racing, but are also bred for other riding disciplines, such as show jumping, combined training, dressage, polo, and fox hunting. They are also commonly cross-bred with other breeds to create new breeds or to improve existing ones, and have been influential in the creation of many important breeds, such as the Quarter Horse, the Standardbred, the Anglo-Arabian, and various Warmblood breeds.
Thoroughbred racehorses perform with maximum exertion, which has resulted in high rates of accidents and other health problems. Racing has been proven to have a higher fatality rate than all other legal human and animal sports. Also, Thoroughbreds are prone to other health complications, including bleeding from the lungs, low fertility, abnormally small hearts and a small hoof to body mass ratio. There are several theories for the reasons behind the prevalence of accidents and health problems in the Thoroughbred breed, and research continues into how to reduce the accident rate and treat those animals that are injured.
All modern Thoroughbreds trace back to three stallions imported into England from the Middle East in the late 17th and early 18th centuries: the Byerley Turk (1680s), the Darley Arabian (1704), and the Godolphin Arabian (1729). Other stallions of oriental breeding were less influential, but still made noteworthy contributions to the breed. These included the Alcock Arabian,[19] D’Arcy’s White Turk, Leedes Arabian, and Curwen’s Bay Barb.[20][21][notes 1] Another was the Brownlow Turk, who, among other attributes, is thought to be largely responsible for the gray coat color in Thoroughbreds.The addition of Arabian bloodlines to the native English mares ultimately led to the creation of the General Stud Book (GSB) in 1791 and the practice of official registration of horses.
Each of the three major foundation sires was, coincidentally, the ancestor of a grandson or great-great-grandson who was the only male descendant to perpetuate each respective horse’s male line: Matchem was the only descendant of his grandsire, the Godolphin Arabian, to maintain a male line to the present; the Byerly Turk’s male line was preserved by Herod (or King Herod), a great-great-grandson; and the male line of the Darley Arabian owes its existence to great-great-grandson Eclipse, who was the dominant racehorse of his day and never defeated.
Matchem, a grandson of the Godolphin Arabian, from a painting by George Stubbs
One genetic study indicates that 95% of all male Thoroughbreds trace their direct male line (via the Y chromosome) to the Darley Arabian. However, in modern Thoroughbred pedigrees, most horses have more crosses to the Godolphin Arabian (13.8%) than to the Darley Arabian (6.5%) when all lines of descent (maternal and paternal) are considered. Further, as a percentage of contributions to current Thoroughbred bloodlines, Curwen’s Bay Barb (4.2%) appears more often than the Byerly Turk (3.3%). The majority of modern Thoroughbreds alive today trace to a total of only 27 or 28 stallions from the 18th and 19th centuries.
