2012 Iowa Gold Star Coverage

2012

Iowa Gold Star

Futurity Horse sHow

by Jessica Maldonado Viva Des Moines! With a Vegas-inspired theme, Iowa once again rolled out the red carpet to a world-wide audience of Arabian horse enthusiasts as it hosted the 2012 Iowa Gold Star Futurity and Fall Classic Horse show during Labor Day weekend. With approximately 300 horses and thousands of exhibitors and spectators, the five-day horse show featured not only great competition, but a stallion service auction, progressive barn party, sponsored meals, and a variety of entertainment.

With its track record for fun and its competitive Vegas theme, the show kicked off on Thursday with not only two sessions of great classes, but a progressive barn party and arguably the most popular entertainment at the show—dog races!

Featuring three highlycompetitive heats, the grand championship was won by a lightning-fast Jack Russell hailing from Texas.

New this year, the stallion auction started online to enable anyone around the world to participate. All purebred lots reaching $1,500 and all Half-Arabian lots reaching $750 online then qualified for the live auction in Des Moines at the Marriott Downtown. All other lots remained open for an additional week to allow for extra promotion and bidding opportunities. This format turned out to be quite a success with new bidders participating from all over the

country, and even new winning bidders from Europe. In addition to selling a total of 102 top-tier stallion breedings in the purebred and Half-Arabian auctions, the auction party featured a rousing “Pianopalooza” show featuring Iowa’s own talented Tony Bohenkamp and Megan Hill. As an added incentive to breeders, winning bidders on auction night also were entered into a door prize drawing for a chance to enter the “Vegas Vault” for an opportunity to grab some cash.

Three lucky bidders went home with not only a world-class stallion breeding, but also a little cash in their pocket!

Speaking of money, prize money was abundant at the show with approximately $200,000 up for grabs in the Gold Star Futurity halter and performance classes. The 2012 Champion Auction Purebred Yearling Filly and Colt took home a whopping $19,040 each, and the reserve filly and colt each took home $9,520 respectively.

For Iowa breeders Brad and Shelley Button, the dream of breeding a Gold Star Futurity Champion came to reality this year when their filly Thee Vitoria (Vitorio TO x Thee Diana) won the Gold Star Fillies Yearling Open class with Austin Boggs at the lead.

“I will never forget Doug Shane announcing, ‘Your 2012 Iowa Gold Star Open Yearling Filly Champion…. #509

Thee Vitoria and Austin Boggs!’” Shelley said. “I had always dreamt of those roses. What a dream come true!”

Due to the overwhelming success of the 3- and 4-year-old futurity English Pleasure Jackpot classes in 2011, similar jackpot classes were added for 3-year-old western horses and were sponsored graciously by Tamar Arabians and Show Ready. These classes were a great opportunity to get futurity horses in the ring before nationals and each had $500 in added prize money!

The Gold Star was excited to welcome numerous new stallions to the stallion lineup, including Aafanazi SF, Audacious PS, Al Hadiyah AA, Bey Ali WF, De Beers,

Volume 43, No. 5 | 173

Destinyed Valentino, Goldmount Royal Design, JJ Cohiba, Jullyen El Jamaal, KM Bugatti, Legacys Renoir, Mastark, Mazziah, MS Khasanova, NYN Hisani, OFW Wan and Only, PA Gazsi, Pogrom, Rubicons Moonlit Motion, TF Psymreeke, and Vegaz.

Any get already on the ground by new Gold Star stallions were also eligible to be originally nominated into the program and show. Ken Knipe, owner of the multi-National Champion English Pleasure stallion Vegaz was able to take advantage of this initiative by also nominating the Vegaz daughter Fistful of Diamondz (Vegaz x MD Pro’s Aequus) into the futurity, who then went on to win the Gold Star English Pleasure Open class with trainer Chris Wilson in the irons.

“We enjoyed our first trip to the Iowa Gold Star!” said Ken Knipe. “Great facility, excellently managed show, great horses, and more fun than one should have at a horse show! I enjoyed both the halter and performance horses, and got to witness some great horses and great presentations. I look forward to coming to the show again in the future!”

Another annual tradition at the Gold Star Show is to honor both a Breeder of Significance and a Sire of Significance from the Arabian industry that has impacted not only the breed as a whole, but the Iowa Gold Star Futurity. This year’s Breeder of Significance was awarded to Jerland Farms. Originally inspired by “The Black Stallion” and nurtured by such formidable names as the Gaineys, the Burtons, and the Blasers, Larry Jerome has been breeding Arabian and Half-Arabian horses for the better part of 40 years. The success of this program is becoming ever more clear with the Jerland-bred horses garnering titles in Scottsdale, Las Vegas, numerous Regionals, Nationals and International show arenas around the world. In addition, Jerland Farms’ stallions MPA Giovanni, *Khadraj NA, and Bellagio J have made their presence known at the Iowa Gold Star Futurity with winning get too numerous to count in both the halter and performance arenas. Jerland is owned by Larry and Shelley Jerome and managed by their daughter and son-in-law, Indira and Mike Van Handel.

The 2012 Sire of Significance was awarded to DS Major Afire (Afire Bey V x S S Magnolia). Owned by Jennifer Patterson of Glenbrook, Nev., DS Major Afire stands at Mike Neal Arabian Center LLC in Delavan, Wis. Through his sire, DS Major Afire carries the championproducing bloodlines of the world-famous Varian breeding program. DS Major Afire’s dam is the National Champion-producing mare S S Magnolia who combines the strength, substance and athleticism of the Spanish lines through her sire, AN Magno, with the beauty and refinement of the Egyptian lines through her dam, SS Soufianna. S S Magnolia contributed the best of these qualities to her son. The Gold Star Futurity has been fortunate to have DS Major Afire in its stallion lineup for many years, and has seen the impact he has made on the show ring. His progeny have won championships in halter and performance in both the purebred and Half-Arabian divisions. He was well represented this year by the purebred hunter Concerto In E Major who accepted the roses in honor of his sire.
