Linda Osterman Hamid with the imported Andalusian stallion Embajador IXFrom the Editor...

Now that fall is upon us, I've been thinking how fast time flies and I'm hoping everyone has enjoyed a beautiful summer with your wonderful horses!

I spent six weeks commuting from Connecticut to Cambridge, Massachusetts to visit my husband while he was there. Allan was one of twenty-five American history teachers in the U.S. to receive a National Endowment for the Humanities grant to study at Harvard University. It's been a remarkable experience for him to have worked with Harvard professors, famous authors, and outstanding authorities in his specialized field. After coming home, he spent the month of August relaxing and riding Romántico H.H.F.  All in all, a great summer for him!

Bobbie Newton of Dos Desperados Ranch in Sedona, Arizona sent us darling photos of her new filly, at one day old, and at three weeks. Born on Easter Sunday, she is named, Bravio's Angelita, a lovely little angel by the Sommer Ranch stallion, Bravio, out of Emmy Lou. Congratulations Bobbie!

Joanne Fiola of Tivorton, Rhode Island has called almost weekly with reports of her Spanish-Norman's progression on the show jumper circuit. She sent two photos of the gelding from his start at an early April show warm-up, and we're looking forward to more and a great show report at the end of their season. Joanne and trainer John Blair are thrilled with Guerrero's success. Guerrero was sired by Hamid Hill Farm's Andalusian stallion, the late Embajador IX. For a show name, they use 'Sir Norman of Tivorton' and then tell everyone all about the Spanish-Norman breed. Surely, Guerrero will be in contention for the 2001 Spanish-Norman Horse Registry, Inc. high point trophy! Remember, if you need an application for the annual award, contact me.

Just a reminder... please send in your 2001 foal registrations, transfers and breeding reports. If you need more forms, please let me know. Also, I always need photos of Spanish-Normans of all ages for our own official website, as well as other publications. We often get requests for photos for magazine articles. We especially need conformation shots of mature stock and performance photos from a variety of disciplines. Please send us photos from dressage shows and driving competitions if you have them.

The Spanish-Norman was featured once again in a major equine publication. The June 2001 issue of the Horsemen's Yankee Pedlar put the spotlight on the Spanish-Norman, as well as several other Iberian breeds,  in their article, The Baroque Breeds; A Horse for the Time Traveler or Romantic in Us All.  With kind permission from the Pedlar, we've re-printed this article.

I look forward to hearing from Spanish-Norman owners and enthusiasts! Best regards.

 

Cordially,
