EGYPTIAN H ORSE
DAY IN MAY
Egyptian Horse Day in May is back again! This exciting outreach
program targets the public and local media by unifying Pyramid
Society members across the nation. Members will sponsor, at their
farms, a special day of education, fun, and opportunity to meet the
Egyptian Arabian horse. “Meet us in May for Egyptian Horse Day—Join
us in June at the Egyptian Event” is the slogan and press releases
will be sent to local media to promote this activity. Regional
representatives are challenged to help organize and develop this
concept within their region.
Saturday, May 12th is the chosen date, however other dates in May
can also be selected to suit an individual or group’s needs.
Regardless, everyone is encouraged to target May l2th to take
advantage of press releases and overall unity, date, and purpose. As
in the past, if you plan to sponsor an Egyptian Horse Day activity,
please contact The Pyramid Society so we can help get the word out
and send you promotional materials

THE EGYPTIAN
EVENT’S 27TH ANNIVERSARY
JUNE 3 – 9, 2007
Join us in June! The Pyramid Society invites you to join us as we
celebrate the newly expanded 27th Anniversary of the Egyptian Event
at the Kentucky Horse Park in Lexington, Kentucky, from June 3-9,
2007. Plans include the exciting Egyptian Breeders’ Challenge live
breeding auction, the lucrative futurity, halter and performance
classes, greatly expanded educational opportunities, festive
gatherings, many of the most beautiful horses in North America, and
shopping to suit all tastes!
And for the first time, The Pyramid Society is offering a temporary
“ownership share” program—called the “Kalkata Stakes”,
wherein people attending the Egyptian Event can purchase 5-day shares in
colts and fillies entered in the two year-old Straight Egyptian
Futurity classes. If “your horse” takes the Reserve or Championship
title, you not only get a piece of the cash pot, but you also will be
part of the winning photo and you will receive a handsome trophy!
More information will be posted on The Pyramid Society Egyptian
Event page soon.

NEW BOOK NOW
AVAILABLE THROUGH THE PYRAMID SOCIETY
The Arab Horse by Peter Upton is now available through The
Pyramid Society. This book provides a complete record of all the
desert-bred horses imported into Britain after Padischah, from whom
all present day purebred Arab horses descend. Peter Upton provides a
narrative history of the desert journeys of those early British
enthusiasts who went in search of horses suitable for shipping back
to Britain, most notably Major Roger Upton, Wilfrid Scawen and Lady
Anne Blunt (founders of the famous Crabbet Stud in 1878), and the
Honourable Miss Dillon. Thereafter, and often in the words of the
original importers, the author gives detailed descriptions of the
eighty-six horses who have lines existing to this day. There follow
detailed tables of descent of mares and stallions, and sections on
Bedouin horse breeders, the origins of the Arab horse, and the
development of strains.
Lavishly illustrated with 60 full-page color portraits of horses by
the author, and color reproductions of famous paintings of Arab
horses by Wootton, Herring, Stubbs, Landseer and others, and with
160 black and white and sepia photographs, sketches and etchings,
this revised and expanded edition of The Arab Horse will
delight and inform all those with an interest in this most beautiful
breed. This book, which is sure to appeal to all Arabian
enthusiasts, is now available. The cost is $71.00 plus s/h.

IMPERIAL
TENT SYNONYMOUS WITH THE EGYPTIAN EVENT AND NOW A PERMANENT PART OF
THE EVENT!
For many, when the Egyptian Event is mentioned several common images
come to mind. Those memories might include the stunning horses,
familiar faces, and perhaps a barn party at Imperial Egyptian Stud,
adjacent to their familiar and prominent authentic tent. It gives us
great pleasure to announce that Barbara Griffith of Imperial
Egyptian Stud located in Parkton, Maryland, has generously donated
this tent to The Pyramid Society, making it permanently synonymous
with the Egyptian Event. Beginning this year, look for the tent to
play host to several new activities at the Event, and “Thank You”
again to Imperial Egyptian Stud!

PYRAMID SOCIETY MEMBER WINS NATIONAL PBS AWARD FOR EGYPTIAN ARABIAN
DOCUMENTARY
Pyramid Society member Christine Amerman has brought national
attention to Egyptian Arabians with her documentary, “Life with
Passion: Raising Egyptian Arabian Horses”. On Friday, January 26,
2007, the PBS’ National Educational Television Association (NETA)
announced that “Life with Passion” was the recipient of its 2007
Best Biography Documentary Award. “The recognition by NETA is one of
the most significant awards “Life with Passion” could receive,”
stated Jason Parmer, co-founder of Apparel Arabians (www.apparelarabians.com).
Apparel Arabians is Amerman’s vision for a horse-focused branch of
the multi-media firm, Apparel Studios (www.apparelstudios.com).
Parmer continues to say, “It's an extremely well-told story that has
captured peoples' emotions.”
“Life with Passion” is a beautifully told story intertwining the
rich heritage of Egyptian Arabian horses with the lives of the two
women who raise them, Judy Sirbasku and Shawn Crews, on the
world-famous farm, Arabians, LTD., in Waco, Texas. Amerman directed
and produced the 30-minute documentary for air on Central Texas PBS
affiliate KWBU, while she was a Master’s student at Baylor
University. Since its broadcast, it has garnered much attention,
including winning a Telly last fall in the highly competitive
documentary category. The Telly Awards is the premier award honoring
outstanding local, regional, and cable television commercials and
programs, as well as the finest video and film productions.
Arabians, LTD. owner Judy Sirbasku noted, “Christine's respect for
her subject is admirable. I rarely allow interviews as so rarely
does the article reflect my true expressions, but Christine has
great intuition.” General Manager, Shawn Crews agrees. “There are
few words to describe how the production "Life with Passion"
affected me,” she said. “Christine captured on film the emotion that
every horse person has but cannot adequately describe to others.”
“The passion these women have for these noble creatures is
palpable,” executive producer for KWBU Joani Livingston says. “An
amazing visceral connection occurs with a well told story and
gorgeous photography. Christine squarely hit the mark.”
