CONGRATULATIONS TO EVERYONE
FOR ALL THEIR SUCCESS AND WINS!!!
IXL NOBLE EXPRESS
U.S. National Championship Show October, 2011
The number of sons and daughters of IXL Noble Express competing at the national level continues to grow and succeed dramatically. At the 2011 Scottsdale Show, there were 14 successful IXL Noble Express offspring, and at the 2011 U.S. Nationals, just eight months later, there were 21. Between them they won an impressive four national championships and two reserves, as well as 31 Top Ten awards. Most interesting is the fact that nine horses, almost half of the group, took awards in more than one class. These horses work very hard when they take on more than one class or division at Nationals. It takes special endurance and strength to do well in several classes at this level. Champions that are strong enough to remain sound and endure can continue on through years of performance from open to amateur to junior rider competition thereby building their sire’s reputation.
Those IXL Noble Express offspring garnering the most awards at the U.S. Nationals this year included Expressamo (x Mystic Bey V), National Champion Pleasure Driving and Informal Combination and a Top Ten in the English Pleasure AAO 40 & Over. Expressamo began his winning 2011 season with Top Ten awards in both the English Pleasure open and Amateur at the Scottsdale Show in February. A Noble Cause (x Sweet Summer Fire) was also a U.S. National Champion in October, taking the winning red rose garland in the Pleasure Driving AAO and a Top Ten in the open as well. WD Noble Ladd+/ (x Gifted JG) also started the new year well at Scottsdale, winning both the HA Hunter Pleasure Junior Horse class and the Championship at that show and then closing the season by taking the 2011 U.S. National Champion HA Hunter Pleasure Junior Horse title.
Reserve national champions at the 2011 U.S. Nationals included LLC Mr Noble (x Trifirette), who took reserve honors in the Informal Combination behind his paternal half-brother Expressamo and a Top Ten in the Pleasure Driving Championship as well. Proteus BPA+ (x Summer Romance) was a 2011 Reserve National Champion in HA Hunter Pleasure Select AATR and a Top Ten in the AAO Maturity. In the ranks of the multi-Top Ten award winners were Berry Expressive (x Im Berry Wild V) with Top Ten in HA English Pleasure AAO 40 & Over and the HA English Pleasure AAO Maturity. Expressly Bella (x Colorado Sage), took a Top Ten in both the open English Pleasure Championship and the AAO 18-39, FS Thatsa Cold Shot+ (x Highpoints Dirty Dancer) took Top Ten awards in the HA English Show Hack and the HA Country English AAO 36-54, Noble Aphroditie (x EA Aphroditie) was Top Ten in the English Pleasure open and AAO 18-39 championships, and Noble Grace (x Gina Afire) was a Top Ten in both the English Pleasure AAO 40 &Over and the AAO Maturity.
Additional Top Ten awards at the U.S. Nationals included A Noble Pass (x SA Passing Fancy), Top Ten Show Hack AAO; BL Expression (x Rumina Afire), Top Ten English Pleasure Junior Horse; HCA Crimson Express+ (x Dream Copy PHF), Top Ten HA Country Pleasure Driving; KD Expression Heir (x Eliza LA), Top Ten Country English Pleasure AAO Maturity; Noble Renaissance (x Radiant Afire), Top Ten English Pleasure AAO 18-39; Nobleistic (x GW Im Penny), Top Ten English Pleasure AAO 18-39; Nobles Angel (x Afires Expose), Top Ten Hunter Pleasure 18-35 AAO; Nobles Diva (x Quintara Afire), Top Ten Pleasure Driving; Nobles Rhapsody N Red (x Blues in the Night), Top Ten Country English Pleasure Select AATR; The Midnight Express (x Susanke), Top Ten Hunter Pleasure, and Van Helsing BPA (x Shes All That), Top Ten HA Futurity Halter Gelding.

AFIRE BEY V
Statistical Synopsis at the 2011 U.S. National Championship Show
At 26 years young Afire Bey V continued to lead the way at the 2011 U.S. National Championship show. There were 45 sons and daughters of Afire Bey V competing successfully at the Nationals in Tulsa the end of October. Together they accumulated 59 Top Ten awards, 8 national championships and 7 reserve national championships. Of these winners, 24 were purebreds and 21 were Half-Arabians.
This year’s national champions included both seasoned performers and newcomers to the rose blankets and trophies. Americanbeautie+// (x Kelly Le Brock) has been one of Afire Bey V’s top winning show horse daughters for many years. At the U.S. Nationals this year she won her thirteenth national championship, this one in HA Country English Pleasure, and her fourth reserve national championship, this one in HA Country English Pleasure AAO 36-54. Compare this to a first time U.S. National’s appearance for Winning Afire+// (x Win Me Ribbons) and young Conley Driediger from Canada. Winning Afire+// has been showing at the Canadian and Youth National shows and winning Top Ten awards since 2007. This was the pair’s first trip to the U.S. National Championships, inspired no doubt by their 2011 Canadian national championship in Show Hack and Canadian reserve national championship in Country English Pleasure AAO 18-39. At the U.S. Nationals they were National Champion Show Hack AAO and Reserve National Champion Show Hack in the open. MWF Benedykt+// (x Bold Love) was reserve national champion Show Hack AAO (following Winning Afire+//) and was a Top Ten in the Show Hack open as well. It was the second year at the Nationals for Defying Gravity RGS (x MA Nobella). Last year the chestnut, five-year-old gelding was Top Ten in both the English Pleasure AAO Maturity and the English Pleasure Junior Horse. This year, Defying Gravity RGS stepped up to the plate and knocked a few out of the park, taking roses in the English Pleasure Junior Horse at both Canada and the U.S. Nationals. It was a first trip ever to the U.S. Nationals for Emperors Fire (x Ritida) the latest in a grand family of national winners. Emperors Fire won the 2001 U.S. National Champion HA English Pleasure Futurity. His full sister, Eves Fire (x Ritida) was 2010 Reserve National Champion HA English Futurity and 2011 Reserve National Champion HA English Pleasure AAO, as well as a Top Ten this year in the HA English Pleasure Junior Horse. Their full brother, Adams Fire, did not show at this year’s nationals but won the HA English Futurity National Championship in 2005. Adams Fire currently has 11 national championships and two reserves to his (and his sire’s) credit. It was also a first U.S. Nationals visit for Simply Afire (x Simply The Best). Virtually undefeated in Class A competition, this handsome eight-year-old stepped up to take a Top Ten in the open Country English Pleasure and was 2011 U.S. National Champion in the Country English Pleasure AAO 18-35.
Another Half-Arabian show horse with a championship at this year’s national show was Fabulaire (x Money’s Steller Performer). A Youth National Champion in HA Native Costume JT 14-17 last summer, Fabulaire won the open HA Native Costume at the 2011 U.S. Nationals. Five-times Top Ten and the Canadian Reserve National Champion HA Pleasure Driving in 2002, Guided+ (x The Small Town Blues) was 2011 U.S. National HA Pleasure Driving Champion. Three full siblings to Guided+ took Top Ten awards at the 2011 U.S. Nationals: Glorify (The Small Town Blues), Top Ten HA Park AAO, Good Vibrations (x The Small Town Blues), Top Ten HA Country Pleasure Driving AAO and Guardian Angel (The Small Town Blues), Top Ten HA Country English Pleasure AAO 18-35. A major Afire Bey V champion, Pheobe Afire (x Primroza) was the 2011 U.S. National English Pleasure AAO 18-39. It was the fourteen-year-old chestnut mare’s fifth national or reserve national championship at Youth or U.S. Nationals in the English Pleasure division.
Although a number of Afire Bey V’s 2011 U.S. national champions were also reserve national champions, there were several others that claimed reserve honors as well. Afire Phantom BF (x Clover Hill’s Blazing Luck) was 2011 U.S. National Reserve Champion HA Country English Pleasure Select AATR and a Top Ten in the HA Country English Pleasure AAOTR 18-35. Romeo Afire (x Flames Lullaby) was the 2011 U.S. Reserve National Champion Country English Pleasure AAO 36-54 and Starbucks BF (x Haute Chocolate) was the 2011 U.S. Reserve National Champion in the HA Country English Junior Horse Championship. Romeo Afire’s full sibling Afireandbrimstone SCA (x Flames Lullaby) was a 2011 Top Ten in both the open Country English Pleasure and the Country English Pleasure AAO 55 & Over.
In sixteen of the National English division classes, two or more Afire Bey V offspring took Top Ten or better awards. In the Half-Arabian English Pleasure Futurity the champion and four of the Top Ten winners were sired by Afire Bey V. Today, it is rare to find a national class in the English division without the presence of an outstanding Afire Bey V champion son or daughter.
