New USMMA President Jeff Bosley
Dear USMMA members.
Rick Schatz has stepped down as USMMA President, citing personal reasons. The resignation is effective immediately.Rick provided a leadership role during a transition to a new USMMA Board of Directors. He solidified and improved relationships with Brazil and the ABCCMM. However, even though he won’t be serving on the Board, Rick will continue to breed Marchador horses and support our efforts in promoting this magnificent breed. We thank him for his many years of service.
Under the USMMA by-laws, the Vice President assumes that vacated role and a new Vice President will be voted in at our next board meeting.
My wife Michelle and I, breed and own four Marchador horses and just recently moved to Arizona from North Carolina. I have been active in the association for many years and like many of you am passionate about the breed.
While this was unexpected, I am ready to assume the responsibility having served as Vice President and working closely with Rick for 2 years. I met many USMMA members at the two PBR events in 2015 including the Las Vegas clinic. Prior to that, you may have also met me at the 2012 USMMA Clinic in Ocala FL.
Our Board remains intact. The next Board meeting focuses on the budget, planning for a clinic, the registry and more.
2016 will be another exciting year with many Marchador events planned — like the ABCCMM inspection, the USMMA clinic and BREYERFEST at the KY Horse Park which will feature the Mangalarga Marchador!
You will be hearing from me often as we try to keep you informed and involved. I welcome your input on what you need from our association.
Sincerely,Jeff Bosley

National Cavalry Competition
Bill Kambic writes in about an event that he participates in every year with a Marchador entry. Our apologies that this didn’t make the newsletter too!
Please go and cheer them on and enjoy the show!
Event Name: National Cavalry Competition
Location: Historic Fort Reno, El Reno, OK
Dates: 23-27 SEP 2015
Description:
The National Cavalry Competition commemorates the long and distinguished history of the U.S. Cavalry from the Dragoons of the Revolutionary War to the mounted Special Forces soldiers serving even today in Afghanistan and elsewhere. There are four major events. Military Horsemanship demonstrates the basic riding skills of the mounted soldier. Military Field Jumping allows the mounted soldier to demonstrate theirjumping abilities. Unique to this competition are two weapons classes. The Mounted Saber class has the soldier “riding the heads” using the blade. The Mounted Pistol class has the soldier demonstrating marksmanship using the .45 caliber revolver and blank ammunition. There are several events
demonstrating other aspects of military horsemanship. Competition is open to anyone who wishes to participate. Of course all work and no play makes for dull troopers. So there are also a number of good parties and social events!For further information go to the U.S. Cavalry Association website

“Horses of the World” Parade Showcase
From Laurie Klassen, USMMA Secretary“Every August, Saskatoon Saskatchewan, .Canada hosts a fairly large parade through downtown. I have participated for many years.
Last year I assembled a variety of horse breeds from around the world and entered a mounted group. It was very well received by the audience. Authentic costumes to represent the breed and very professional grooming and presentation by all involved.
What a great way to showcase the Mangalarga Marchador in Portuguese show costume. Our entry won second place this year against many other horse-related entries.”

Dr. Kate Barcelos was in Canada presenting her paper at an Equine Conference and stayed on to complete another ABCCMM inspection, the second one in Canada!
Dana Johnsen, USMMA Board Member at Large, organized an Open House around the event and Marchadors from Alberta and British Columbia joined in! Additional invitations and participation from people who wanted to see, meet and ride a Marchador. It looked like a great event.
Kate also visited other breeders in Colorado, Alberta, British Columbia and Saskatchewan before heading home to Brazil.
ABCCMM inspection is a prerequisite for dual ABCCMM (Brazilian) registration. It is not required for USMMA registration.
