BASKE AFIRE
U.S.
National Championship Show, 2010
Few Arabian stallions
in 2010 will be able to claim the sire credentials of Baske
Afire, now the leading Juvenile Sire of National performance
winners in the Arabian horse industry. At this year’s U.S.
National Show Baske Afire was the sire of offspring that won six
National Championships, six Reserve National Championships and
49 National Top Ten awards.
Only four of these awards
were in Halter this year. Nonetheless, these were impressive and
included two National Championships for JB Hometown Hottie (x
Petite Sweet), in HA Mare Halter Saddle/Pleasure Open and
Amateur and a Reserve National Championship in the HA Mare
Halter Saddle/Pleasure for A Fire Inside (x Mystical Fire JDR).
The final Halter winner was TCF Fire In the Sky (x On My Wings),
a Top Ten in the HA Yearling Colts/Geldings Breeders Sweepstakes
Championship.
In performance the Baske Afire offspring pulled out all
the stops with National Championships in the HA English Pleasure
Futurity – CF Jimmy Neutron (x She’s A Mystery), HA Country
English Pleasure Junior Horse – HCA Lynard Skynard (x Rhapsody
By Blue), and HA English Pleasure Junior Horse – Lady Ava
Isabella (x Captivating Style).
Shaken, Rattlen, Rollen (x Baby I’m A Star) was the
Champion in the HA Pleasure Driving AAOTD.
In many of the English-type
performance classes there were two or more Baske Afire
offspring, but in the HA Country English Pleasure Junior Horse,
in addition to the Champion and the Reserve, there were two
other Top Tens. In the PB Country English Pleasure Junior Horse
Baskeafire Belle (x Baskins-Belle) was the Reserve National
Champion and four other Baske Afire get placed in the Top Ten.
Most impressive, however, was the HA English Pleasure Junior
Horse where six of the Top Ten, including the Champion and the
Reserve, were sired by Baske Afire.
In addition to
representation in nearly all of the HA and PB Country English
Pleasure, English Pleasure and driving classes, Baske Afire get
won seven Top Ten awards in HA and PB Hunter Pleasure
competition with Vvictorious Secret taking three.
Baske Afire continues
to impress as a sire with each National competition, proving
himself the obvious heir to his illustrious sire.
