Horse Film Calls It A Wrap

A television documentary based on the novel “Fate of the Stallion” by
Ron Hevener is calling it a wrap. “It’s been great, and we want to
thank everyone who helped make this happen,” says the author. “It was
magic!”

Inspired by “Nahgua” (a proud Arabian stallion down on his luck and
his climb back to glory), the book sold out its first printing. At one
point, almost every school library had a copy. “We’ve heard from
television executives in four countries,” says Hevener’s publicist.

Filming took place in the Pennsylvania Dutch Country, where the famous
stallion was reported in the news as “One of Lancaster County’s most
celebrated residents” upon his death in November of 2006. With
production under way, a search was made for the right horse to portray
him. As fate would have it, a young stallion was found in Michigan,
the very state where Nahgua was once named Arabian Race Colt of the
Year.

“As soon as I saw him, I knew Selket Louchiano was the right choice to
play Nahgua,” says Hevener, who caught up with the stallion at the
U.S. National Arabian Horse Show, in Kentucky. “He’s a look-alike for
the illustrations in the novel. He’s unusually tall, exotic and he
loves people.”

Immediately, Louchiano was taken off the national show circuit and put
into training for the film.

With the TV documentary complete, Louchiano is happily grazing in his
new paddock and getting ready for special public appearances and horse
shows again.

“Somewhere out there,” says Hevener, “I’ve got a funny feeling that
Nahgua is smiling.”
