The 2006 ride will be 25 miles under AERC rules. ASAV will furnish dinner for riders, owners, and friends of the Shagya horse on Saturday following the ride. Plans are being made for a 2007 Shagya championship ride for those who compete in the western states The entry information can be downloaded at www.aerc.org. Write on the entry form that you have a horse of Shagya breeding that will be eligible for entry for this Challenge Cup. The horse must be registered with ASAV and nominated for the ASAV awards programs. The rider does not have to be a member of ASAV. Shagya geldings that are currently registered in another ISG sanctioned registry can be registered in ASAV for the very nominal fee of $5.00. The fee for stallions and mares is only $10.00. The information for this transfer can be found at *http://www.shagya-arabian-horses-asav.org/registration.php The American Shagya Arabian Verband *was founded in 2002 and is a nonprofit corporation to record the linage of the Shagya horse. The promotion of this breed and the education of the general public about the heritage and history of the Shagya is our primary goal. The Shagya is a 200 year old rare breed that was almost decimated during W.W.II. The breed numbers are increasing, but still only number 2000 world wide. The breed has an excellent performance record for endurance and an increasing number are finding their way into the endurance world. Two of the stars of the breed, are Shagya bred, *Fayette de Cameo*, Tevis winner, and *Georgat* who won the Dubai World championship race and the European championship ride, both in 2005. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
