In The Line Afire

   Baske Afire took center stage at the 2009 Scottsdale Show, both as a show horse and as an important sire of Champions. The leading siring son of leading sire, Afire Bey V won both the Pleasure Driving class and the Pleasure Driving Championship, but his wonderful appearance in Scottsdale as a show horse paled beside his magnitude as a sire of winners.

  Baske Afire offspring took home 11 Championships and 7 Reserve Championships at this year’s Scottsdale Show, plus 20 Top Tens, 14 first place awards, and 18 additional ribbons in classes during the course of 11 days.

   Champions included Baske Is A Genius (x Winning Asset) HA Pleasure Driving Champion, CF Badras Symphony (x Sweet Day Dream) Junior Champion HA Saddle/Pleasure Colt/Gelding, Chick Magnet (x Ring Girl) Champion HA Saddle/Pleasure Gelding AAOTH, The Way She Moves (x Heavenlei) Champion Country English JTR 14-17. Elle Yes (x Showtimes Daddy Girl) Champion HA English Pleasure AAOTR, and Mary Mary (x OCV Red BMW LLC) Junior Champion HA Saddle/Pleasure Halter Filly. Pop Rocks (x Precisely Poppy) Champion HA Country English Junior Horse, also won the HA Country English Junior Horse 5-Year-Old and was Reserve in the HA Country English AATR 40 & Over Championship. She Be Adiva (x She Be Jammin) Champion in both the HA Filly/Mare Halter JTH and the HA Saddle/Pleasure Halter Mare AAOTH, and Reserve Champion in the HA Saddle/Pleasure Senior Mare, was Baske Afire’s biggest Halter winner at the show. His top performance horse was In The Line Afire (x El Milagros Calif Capers), who won the HA English Pleasure JTR 14-17 and the JOTR 17 & Under, and was Champion in both those classes by the end of the first weekend.   Among the Reserve Champions were GA Clio Dulaine (x Flameworthy) Reserve Champion HA Filly/Mare Halter JTH and second in both the HA Saddle/Pleasure Mare Halter 3-Year-Old and the 3 & Older AAOTH. Mariachi WA (x Brookyln Bey), winner of the Country English Pleasure Junior Horse 5-Year-Old, was also Reserve in the Country English Pleasure Junior Horse Championship. Pop Rocks full sibling, Rated R (x Precisely Poppy), was the Reserve Junior Champion HA Saddle/Pleasure Halter Filly and a Top Ten in the Yearling and Two-Year-Old Halter AAOTH.  ROL Dancyn Fire (x Xtacy) was the Reserve Champion in the SSS English Pleasure Maturity (5-Year-Old) and Turn It Up (x Morgan Le Fay) was Reserve in the very competitive $100,000 English Pleasure Futurity.   

     The 20 Top Ten winners were almost equally divided between Halter and performance; Half-Arabian and purebred. In the performance competition nearly all of the Top Tens were in the English and Country English Pleasure divisions, with solid representation in the Junior Horse, $100,000 English Futurity, Amateur and Junior to ride.
