Aura of Genesis (AHR 31512-10) was born on April 5th, 2010.
Aura’s sire is Arno van het Nieshof , who is a former 2-time AHR ‘National Champion Stallion’, a former 4-time AHR ‘Stallion of the Year’ and the only AHR ‘Supreme Status’ stallion in North America based on the scores of his offspring through the AHR Inspection and Classification system. Arno has sired too many AHR National Champions and AHR Futurity Champions to even detail but a complete list can be found on his webpage organized according to year.
Aura’s dam is Amina NTF. Amina is sired by Afghan III who himself is an exceptional producer of broodmares. Amina’s dam is sired by the world-reknown stallion, Winterstein. Amina has had many great offspring, including numerous sale toppers and show champions. She has also produced numerous sons that have been AHR approved breeding stallions.
Aura’s 2009 half-sister out of Alfa of Genesis and Amina NTF is Awe Struck of Genesis .
Aura has a real ‘aura’ about her presence… She has a pure, striking beauty makes it hard for you to take your eyes off of her—she is an instant favorite of visitors to the farm. She has a rich, deep red color with a kind eye and a gentle disposition. She is tall and elegant with clean, smooth bones and she moves with great athleticism and power.
Aura made her show ring debut at the 2010 AHR Futurity. She was 2nd place in the Junior Weanling Filly class and went on to be named ‘Reserve Junior Champion Weanling’. Aura later went on to win 3rd place out of over 20 entries in the competitive AHR S.I.P. pleasure class.
In 2011, Aura was an integral part of the Genesis Farm show string. She won 1st place in the ‘Yearling Filly’ class at the Buckeye Haflinger Show, going on to be named ‘Champion Yearling’. At the 2011 AHR National Show, Aura was again the 1st place ‘Yearling Filly’. She went on to be named ‘Junior National Champion Filly’ (as a side note: her half-sister, Awe Struck of Genesis, was the ‘Reserve Junior National Champion Filly’ so winning is obviously in the genetic makeup). Eventually, Aura was awarded the title of ‘Reserve National Champion Mare’. This is a big title for such a young lady to have already coveted! As if those merits weren’t enough, with her big sister, Awe Struck, by her side, this dynamic duo won the National ‘Produce of Dam’ class on their mother’s behalf. Aura also represented her sire, Arno, in our 1st place National ‘Get of Sire’ entry, helping to secure this award for Arno for the 6th consecutive year! WOW! Finally, Aura attended the 2011 AHR Futurity. There, she won 1st place in the ‘Yearling Filly’ class and went on to be named ‘Champion Yearling’.
We expect Aura will continue to be a great contender in the show ring for years to come—we love everything about this filly! Look for Aura at the shows in 2012!
