"Fire" is an exceptional filly that epitomizes the type, elegance and refinement that we strive to breed for at Genesis Farm. “Fire” is sired by our two-time National Champion Stallion and two-time AHR Stallion of the Year, Arno van het Nieshof. Her dam is the elegant and refined Afghan III NTF mare, Febe Ze NTF. Febe has produced many exceptional fillies through the years and Fire is a testament to this.
Fire was shown very successfully by Genesis Farm in 2007 as a weanling, albeit she was one of the youngest foals at the shows because she was a late May foal (May 28th, 2007). Our Fire was 1st place junior weanling pleasure filly at the AHR National Futurity and then she was named Junior Champion foal at the AHR National Futurity as well. She was also 1st place junior weanling pleasure filly at the GLHA Futurity and then went on to become the GLHA Champion Pleasure foal. These were some noteworthy accomplishments for a foal that was only 4 months old at the time of fall shows! Of course, winning is in Fire’s genetics. Her full sister in 2006, Forget Me Not MLF, also claimed futurity titles of her own, including 1st place in the junior weanling pleasure filly class at the GLHA futurity as well!
Fire continued her winning ways in 2008. At the AHR National Futurity in September, she won 1st place in the Yearling Filly class and went on to be named Grand Champion Yearling.
Fire will remain at Genesis Farm and we look forward to her training in the spring of 2009. This filly has the rare combination of elegance and refinement yet still possesses powerful movement and animation. We see a bright future for this filly as a prime example of the modern haflinger.
