1 AUSTRALIAN LIPIZZANE LIPIZZANER R REGISTRY INC. Registry for Australia, New Zealand and Malaysia Striving for Breeding Excellence Issue 16 December2017

Each clinic as well attended by riders of various breeds, but it was not easy to attend both clinics as they were held on the same weekend.

2 ALR Newsletter Issue 16 December 2017 Lipizzaner enthusiasts, Welcome to our 16th edition of the Australian Lipizzaner Registry Inc. newsletter. Members have been busy attending clinics in the last quarter of the year, including those by Jenny Veenstra of Holland and Edit Kappel from Hungary. Each clinic as well attended by riders of various breeds, but it was not easy to attend both clinics as they were held on the same weekend. We report the sad news of the passing of one of the four founding breeders of Lipizzaners in Australia Mr Karoly Keves, best known to all the old stalwarts as Charlie. This issue has dedicated some information on Charlie s contribution to the breed in Australia and New Zealand since the early eighties. This issue focuses on the Kladruber; a close relative of the Lipizzaner. Part one will be covered in this newsletter. The wedding of Australian born Princess Mary of Denmark in 2004 placed some focus of the Kladruber, as people around the world asked the origins of the magnificent greys that drew the wedding coach of Crown Prince Frederick and Princess Mary. The ALR have shared many wonderful photos taken by Czech photographers in this issue and have credited the photos where possible. Compliments of the season to all!

3 Kladruber Breed The last breed in our current series of Lipizzaner close relatives is the Kladruber: The stud at Kladruby nad Labem is one of the oldest studs in the world and home to the oldest original Czech horse breed: the Old Kladruber horse. It covers an area of over 3,000 acres north of the river Elbe about 80 km (50 miles) east of Prague. The tradition of horse breeding in Kladruby nad Labem stretches back to at least the mid 14th century. For over 300 years ( ) it was an imperial court stud providing horses for the royal and imperial court in Prague and Vienna. Nowadays the National Stud keeps around 500 horses. 250 grey Old Kladrubers are bred in the historic site of Kladruby nad Labem and 250 black Old Kladrubers are bred in Slatiňany, a former stud of the princely family of Auersperg, located about 40 kilometres (25 miles) east of Kladruby nad Labem.* The Kladruber breed was founded one year before the Lipizzner breed in 1579 by the Habsburg Imperial family Above, Rudolfo Enamorada VI.

4 Kladruber Breed The heart of the Kladruby nad Labem site is formed by the main stables, castle and church, which are all open to visitors. The main stables are a perfectly organized classicist complex of buildings consisting of the breeding stallions stable, loose stables for broodmares, stables for young horses in training, the foaling stable, riding hall etc. Next to the stables is the imperial castle, which features a number of rooms where the Habsburg nobility stayed when they visited the stud. From the main courtyard a 3.2-kilometre (2-mile) long avenue of lime trees runs straight across the pastures to the stables at Františkov, where weaned foals are reared from 6 months to 3.5 years of age. The whole Kladruby nad Labem site represents a unique, excellently balanced cultural landscape filled with pastures, age-old avenues, irrigation channels, woods, cut-off meanders of the Elbe and historic buildings of various purposes. For its exceptional authenticity and outstanding value the Stud at Kladruby nad Labem gained the Czech national heritage site status in Above, grey Sacromoso Espanda

5 Kladruber Breed Danish Crown Prince Frederick and Australian born Princess Mary on the occasion of their wedding in 2004 above The old Kladruber horses are still the pivot point of life in the stud. Historically, the grey horses were used for ceremonial service at the royal and imperial court. In fact, they are probably the only horse breed in the world which was bred specifically to pull coaches of the sovereigns. The black horses were mainly used for representative service by high clergy. Nowadays the grey Old Kladrubers still serve at royal courts. The Danish queen, Margrethe II, uses a team of six Old Kladruber greys to draw her State Coach on festive rides in Copenhagen. In Sweden, the Old Kladrubers carry the trumpeters of the Swedish Mounted Royal Guards. In the Czech Republic the horses can often be seen at various celebrations at Prague Castle, and they are also used by the mounted police in Pardubice, Ostrava and Prague. The horses also excel in combined driving competitions and dressage. For their calm nature they are great for recreational driving as well as hippotherapy. In 2015 an extensive twoyear restoration of the Stud was successfully completed, and most of the site regained its splendid early 19th century look. Seventeen main historic buildings were renovated, new expositions created and opened to the public. Apart from the standard guided tours, the National Stud organizes a number of special events throughout the year, where you can see the Old Kladruber horses in action. The most notable among these are: Rudolph Cup, an international combined driving competition in April; Old Kladruber Horse Day, a spectacular horse show in late May; Grand Riding Day, a traditional equestrian show in late June; Kladruby Naruby (i.e. Kladruby Inside Out), a family fun festival in early autumn; and St. Hubertus Ride, a mock hunt marking the end of the equestrian season.

Kladruber Breed Taken from Ask the doctor The Kladruber, Kladrubak, or Oldkladruby Horse is a breed of horse that today is considered to be incredibly rare, 492 mares were on record as of January

The breed originated from a mix of Neapolitan and Andalusian bloodlines, a similar mix to the famous Lipizzaner with which they share many characteristics.

The first Kladruby stud was founded in 1579 by Emperor Rudolf II at the Perlstein stables in the Czech Republic as an Imperial Stud.

The national stud farm is still intact in the Czech Republic and has been there now for over 400 years, despite being evacuated during the Seven Year s war.

From the middle of the 17th century the Kladruber was heavily influenced by five stallions in particular: a grey stallion, Pepoli, his two sons, Generale and Generalissimus, and two black stallions

Since then, major efforts have been made to restore the bloodline from a few black mares that were saved.

6 Kladruber Breed Taken from Ask the doctor The Kladruber, Kladrubak, or Oldkladruby Horse is a breed of horse that today is considered to be incredibly rare, 492 mares were on record as of January It s the oldest Czech horse breed in the world and originated during the 16th and 17th centuries. The breed originated from a mix of Neapolitan and Andalusian bloodlines, a similar mix to the famous Lipizzaner with which they share many characteristics. Other blood influences on the Kladruber are Holstein, Oldenburg, Irish, Italian, Danish, and heavy Czech breeds. The first Kladruby stud was founded in 1579 by Emperor Rudolf II at the Perlstein stables in the Czech Republic as an Imperial Stud. The Kladruber was bred to be a galakarosier, a heavy type of carriage horse used to pull the Imperial coach at ceremonies, usually in a four or six in hand. The national stud farm is still intact in the Czech Republic and has been there now for over 400 years, despite being evacuated during the Seven Year s war. The earliest 200 years of breeding records were lost to fire in 1757 but all records since have been maintained. From the middle of the 17th century the Kladruber was heavily influenced by five stallions in particular: a grey stallion, Pepoli, his two sons, Generale and Generalissimus, and two black stallions who shared the name Sacromoso. Grey Kladrubers are actively being bred, but the black Kladruber herd was destroyed in the 1930s and many of the horses were sold for meat. Since then, major efforts have been made to restore the bloodline from a few black mares that were saved. The earliest Kladrubers came in a wide variety of colours from all the usual solid colours, dun, bay, chestnut, black, and grey, to appaloosa and palomino. Today the breed comes in strictly black or gray due to an old breeding program that required eighteen white and eighteen black stallions for court ceremonies. Sacromoso Montana head study above. Below Romke Eleja X (Friesian line: Romke) Bottom, Sacromoso Mantova Photo: Starakova MLS CZ. Black and grey Kladrubers have several breeding differences. The grey Kladruber has a more thoroughbred look to it, it is finer, and usually taller. The black Kladruber has more Neapolitan blood and is of heavier build with a shorter croup. Its head and neck are of a slightly different shape and has an overall more Nordic look. Today s Kladrubers are primarily grey and stand between 16.2 and 17 hands in height. They are suited for light draft and agriculture but are most often used in harness and are seen at international levels in combined driving. Combined driving is an FEI sport which is well suited to the Kladruber s endurance, placid nature, and relative speed. The Kladruber can also be crossed with finer breeds to produce horses more suitable for riding and dressage.

7 Kladruber Breed The Kladruber type is well set and possesses strong recognisable breed characteristics due to their small gene pool and an almost 400 year history of selective breeding. Many of the Kladruber s characteristics have been taken from their Baroque ancestors, such as their convex or Roman facial profile. The relatively upright shoulder, hooves, and pasterns, long back and short croup allow high-stepping gaits, a desirable quality in a driving horse, although not in a riding horse. The Kladruber should have a high-set, powerful, muscular and well arched neck. It was a trademark feature of their Spanish and Neapolitan ancestors and contributes greatly to their appearance in harness. The Kladruber is a substantial horse with a deep, broad chest, clean strong legs with large joints and hooves, sloping shoulders and lean features. The legs are unfeathered and the mane and tail should be thick and flowing. All gaits should have elasticity and a high action with a clear cadence. The Kladruber has a calm, yet energetic temperament and is not shy of work. The eye should be kind and reflective of this. The Kladruber should live to beyond 25 years of age. * ALR Inc.

8 In Memorium Karoly Keves Charlie and Bonita The following female horses were bred by Karoly Keves from the 1980 s to 1995: On the 17th of September 2017, Australia lost one of its four founding breeders with the passing of Mr Karoly Keves. Born in Hungary in 1939 Charlie came to Australia following the uprising in Hungary during A deep passion for the Lipizzaner breed saw Charlie later become a huge contributor to the breed in Australia and the efforts of his breeding program will have benefit for years to come. Charlie s story continues on the following pages. The horse leaving the most offspring was 100 Favory Neapolitano, with twenty three foals. Some of these foals have now gone on the produce yet more descendants, with grandsons and granddaughters of this stallion. Penny Szuzi Linda Bubby Silvie Zsa zsa Britzka Gi Gi Geanie Lili Tina Bonie Sindy Skye (Sara) Fifi Gemma (Giza) Tisza Pixie Charlie and Silver Favory Szuzi Charlie used the Hungarian naming system when naming his fillies. When the Australian Lipizzaner Registry was formed the Austrian naming system was adopted and Charlie s fillies were registered with their stable names, as can be seen on pedigrees today.

In Memorium Karoly Keves 1939-2017 I have had long standing connection and friendship with Charlie as a Lipizzaner breeder in Australia. We first met in 1980 at a meeting for the breed.

Fondly I remember many a time visiting Charlie and his wife at their property north of Adelaide and having a tour of the horses to see the latest foals or to revisit the young stock of the year

9 In Memorium Karoly Keves I have had long standing connection and friendship with Charlie as a Lipizzaner breeder in Australia. We first met in 1980 at a meeting for the breed. I very quickly noticed Charlie s very friendly and cheery manner and over the years we soon developed a very strong connection. Fondly I remember many a time visiting Charlie and his wife at their property north of Adelaide and having a tour of the horses to see the latest foals or to revisit the young stock of the year before. I sometimes took visitors with me including on one occasion prominent breeders from the USA Cele and Tony Noble to meet with him. The name of their horse stud in the USA was Charlie Horse Acres, so I think that Charlie had a good smile at the name chosen for their stud! The welcome mat was always out on arriving at Charlie s place. Sometimes I had the privilege of savouring some of the wonderful Hungarian Goulash that Charlie s wife had cooked and to sample a tipple or two of Charlie s home-made traditional Hungarian drink. It was a very warm and social place to be! After seeing the horses he would often show me his show pigeons and once he took one out of the cage and proudly said that his special breeding program produced a snow white bird that had not one dark feather at all. Charlie s birds and horses were certainly a centre point in his life... I have only been thinking in the last few days that it is 60 years since Charlie escaped from Hungary and came to Australia. Several times Charlie recounted his escape with his wife and a tiny suitcase during the 1957 uprising in Hungary. He remarked on the luck of his escape and commented that many were not so fortunate to escape the clutches of the iron curtain. At only seventeen years of age, this escape was all the more remarkable. It was during these discussions that he would mention how he came to Lipizzaners as a young worker in Hungary and that he would harness a pair of horses for work each day, driving them on the roads. He said he developed a love and respect for the breed and vowed that he would one day in future breed Lipizzaners. As there were no Lipizzaners in Australia until 1975, Charlie s dream took some time to come to fruition, but true to his word in the early 1980 s he purchased several Lipizzaner horses from various sources; (most notably Marianne Christensen of Canberra) and began his breeding program. The following male horses were bred by Karoly Keves from the 1980 s to 1995: Pluto Linda Favory Neapolitano Siglavy Incitato Neapolitano Mara Favory Szuzi Favory Bonita Favory Fecske Favory Zsa Zsa Pluto Traga Pluto Traga II 100 Favory Neapolitano Fred as a youngster

Silver, like all of the horses that Charlie bred were a credit to him and his breeding program has indeed helped this breed to continue in Australia.

This way, I think he combined the love of his birds with his other great passion his horses.

10 In Memorium Karoly Keves Left: Charlie with a favourite mare he bred Marta. Top: picture is Siglavy Incitato Palytas Below is Favory Bonita I Banjo. Bottom: Pluto Traga I Charlie bred numerous horses in his time as a breeder. He had several favourites, but one horse that was never far from his mention was Silver. Mr Rene Gasser later purchased the horse for his touring shows and Silver went on to be a high level performance horse in the Gala of the Royal Horses where many people in Australia have had the pleasure of seeing this horse perform on the stage over many years. Silver, like all of the horses that Charlie bred were a credit to him and his breeding program has indeed helped this breed to continue in Australia. Many horses in the country now can trace Charlie s Tural Park breeding on their pedigrees. Tural meaning a Little bird in Hungarian dialect according to Charlie. This way, I think he combined the love of his birds with his other great passion his horses. The results of Charlies horse breeding are still frequently seen in performances around Australia and I personally saw a gelding named Banjo that he bred at a show several years ago. The horse was around twenty years of age and still going strong. One much loved mare Bonita that Charlie had in his breeding program died last year as the oldest Lipizzaner in Australia at the ripe age of thirty five! His other favourite mare Marta he bred out of a mare that I also once owned. Finally, the most prolific stallion owned by Charlie was a horse named Favory Neapolitano, or Fred as he was known and this stallion produced some twenty three offspring, many of which appear on pedigrees in Australia today. For me on a personal level, Charlie was most helpful in exchanging several horses with me and those horses that Charlie bred later became the nucleus of my own performance horses, for four in hand competition.
