THE PYRAMID SOCIETY VIVA LAS VEGAS!
The Pyramid Society was on the road again and this time the destination was Las Vegas, Nevada, for the Arabian Breeders’ World Cup on April 20-22. Attendees were welcomed into “The City that Never Sleeps,” with a wonderful gala on Thursday night at the magnificent Wynn Hotel. The show itself had all the bells and whistles that create excitement and leave the attendees wanting more. And owners from around the world brought their best horses to be showcased in this venue, with many of them having a strong Egyptian influence in their pedigrees. Congratulations to Al Khalediah Stables with their beautiful mare *Athenaa AHSB (Ashhal Al Rayyan x Ass-Windi), being named Senior Mare Reserve Champion.
The Pyramid Society also hosted a commercial booth and a special thanks to Ed & Merrie Aiken for their tireless efforts in making this happen. After all the effort exerted on the set-up of the booth, it was amazing they still had the time to host such a wonderful gathering for Egyptian Breeders on Friday, April 20. Thanks also to Deb Anderson for her assistance with the booth as well as to Allison Mehta of Talaria Farms for the use of her Pyramid backdrop and table covers. Another meeting hosted by Merilee Mott on Saturday, April 21, provided the opportunity for breeders to discuss bloodlines, promotional methods and influential farms through the years.
