“Affliction made his debut at U.S. Nationals and I’m very proud of how well he did. He has not yet reached his full potential — we are just getting started — so I’m looking forward to his continued growth and maturity. I’m also very anxious to see his first foals coming in 2018. His heavily decorated sire Mamage has proven to be an exceptional out-cross for Huck and Afire Bey V daughters and I expect he will be equally as good.” — Jim Lowe

AEPA Cover Story:

by Christy Egan

T

here are just a few ways for a horse breeding program to be successful, and most include an element of luck. In fact, the first way is “blind luck.” You have a good horse and you make a good guess and you produce a few more good horses. Some wonderful horses have come to be in this way. Unfortunately, longevity is seldom a side effect of this method. The luck runs out. And then, the years of building a program based on solid foundation bloodstock and the hard lessons that come from a multitude of successes and failures build the real horse breeder’s lifelong road. The combined breeding programs of Dave and Gail Liniger (Maroon Fire Arabians) and Tim and Marty Shea (Shea Stables) have totally dominated the Arabian English division for almost three decades using this latter, ageless formula. Between Afire Bey V, his sons and IXL Noble Express, this program has changed the Arabian show horse world forever, literally knocking previous records “out of the park.” This formula still needs luck, but also necessitates years of patience, ruthless annual evaluation and culling and, of course, testing. In the past decade, the national shows and the AEPA have been a critical measuring ground for these breeders.

The Sheas and Linigers have won AEPA competitions on several occasions. The Shea-owned and bred stallion, Brave and Noble (by IXL Noble Express) won the 2008 AEPA Futurity at Scottsdale. The Maroon Fire Arabians owned and bred, Noble Ffyre (by IXL Noble Express) won both the AEPA Buckeye Yearling In-Hand Futurity in 2011 and the AEPA $100,000 Arabian Futurity in 2014. But it is the 2017 AEPA $100,000 Saddle Seat Futurity winner, Inception, owned and bred by Maroon Fire Arabians, that is quickly evolving into their most important breeding step-up and achievement to date. His name means “the beginning,” but his existence was molded upon a carefully orchestrated breeding legacy. From Inception’s sire lines: IXL Noble Express, Afire Bey V and his grandsires, Huckleberry Bey and MHR Nobility, came much of his quality, elegance, way-of-going and character. But it is the extraordinary depth and strength of his tail-female dam line that will be the bloodline that “tells” at day’s end.

His dam, Bonita Afire, is a full sister to three national top tens, including the outstanding Brandie Afire, Buckeye Champion and U.S. National Top Ten English Pleasure Jr. Horse, as well as the dam of a top ten and a top ten producer. Bonita Afire is a three-quarter sister to national champions Maverick Afire and Monarch Afire, as well as the national winner and national producing sire, A Major Fire. Inception already has two full sisters that have gone on to national honors in country English and in the AEPA. His magnificent, maternal grand dam, Bacharah (Barbary), is the mother of nine national winners and producers. Inception and his siblings are the culmination of 30+ years of breeding, beginning with the programs of Sheila Varian, Don DeLongpre, the legendary Polish studs and others.

Ar abian Horse Times | 2 | A.E.P.A. Futurity

Last year, with fingers crossed and breath held, the Linigers and Sheas bred every Afire Bey V daughter they owned to Inception, and others followed suit, so there will be over 60 foals born to some extraordinary mares crossed with Inception in this coming year. There is much thought and long years of patient breeding and great bloodstock behind this stallion, carrying so many hopes for the future. And as spring approaches, there is much to be expected from this long-range, impeccably created breeding program. And yes ‌ a fervent, whispered prayer for just one more bit of good luck! n

AEPA Futurities

THE ARABIAN ENGLISH PERFORMANCE ASSOCIATION with Peter Conway, President

How many years has the AEPA been in existence? Since 2007.

Since the beginning, has the AEPA’s mission statement changed? The fundamental mission of encouraging participation in the saddle seat division has remained constant.

How much money has been awarded to date? Between the three—Arabian and Half-Arabian Saddle Seat Futurities, Country Pleasure Maturity AAOTR and Yearling In-Hand Futurity—$1,585,000 has been paid out in only 11 years.

What is the AEPA’s incentive for owners to nominate their stallions? I think there are many incentives: • I believe all of us that own stallions want to see the division grow, and each of us can help with that by enrolling in the AEPA. • Enrolling in the AEPA increases the value of every foal.

• It also essential for standing at public stud.

• There is more prize money available for an auction foal.

Is there a return to the breeder or stallion owner of AEPA winners? If the winner is also a Breeders Sweepstakes horse, the original breeder is paid $5,000 in the purebred class and $3,500 in the Half-Arabian class.

Does the AEPA have any changes for 2018? The AEPA Strawberry Banks Country Pleasure Maturity at the Buckeye has been opened up to make more horses eligible. From now on, any horse 5 and older that was sired by a stallion that was enrolled in the AEPA for the corresponding breeding year is eligible to compete with an amateur owner. For this year, that means horses from 5-10 years old. You can look up what stallions were enrolled for each year on the AEPA website.

Has there been any discussion of bringing back the Yearling In-Hand class? Not presently.

What is the biggest reason one should get involved with the AEPA? Love of the Arabian English horse.
