AEPA FuturitiEs

Letter From The President

T

he AEPA had another successful year in 2015. Our classes at the U.S. Nationals were the highlight of the show. The Strawberry Banks Country Pleasure Maturity AOTR at the Buckeye made its debut and it was a big hit.

Amateurs are the backbone of the industry and by serving them, we add value to the horses and further help our breeders.

Recognizing how important the national classes are to breeders, AHA Sweepstakes added prize money to them. The champion of the purebred class receives a $5,000.00 Sweepstakes bonus, and the champion of the Half-Arabian class receives $3,500.00, provided that they are ENROLLED IN SWEEPSTAKES. So be sure to breed to an AEPA stallion and enroll the foal in the Sweepstakes program!

Joining Freedman’s as corporate sponsors, we welcomed Equine Athlete Veterinary Services as the official equine health provider to the AEPA. They are at most major Arabian shows and can provide all your veterinary needs.

Please support them and Freedman’s as they help support us.

The online stallion services auction will be held from January 22nd through February 1st.

This is the primary funding for the AEPA, so please get involved and bid. Remember that auction breeding horses are eligible for an extra 25% prize money at the Nationals!

We will also auction several stallion breedings at the AHT Readers’ Choice Awards in Scottsdale in conjunction with the Horsemen’s Distress Fund on February 14th.

Thanks also to Arabian Horse Times and the Ames family, Strawberry Banks Farm and Barbara Chur, and Halcon Furniture for your continued sponsorships.

The AEPA was created to serve breeders and to promote the Arabian English Performance horse. Everyone is welcome. Get involved, breed wonderful horses, enjoy the competition, and have these horses in your life.

Breed to an A.E.P.A. Nominated Stallion and get in on the ACTION! Ar abian Horse Times | 53 | A.E.P.A. Futurity

THE ARABIAN ENGLISH PERFORMANCE ASSOCIATION

FUTURITIES

by Mary Kirkman

The year 2016 will mark the 10th Arabian English Performance Association Saddle Seat Futurity competition, and to say it has come a long way in that time is an understatement. From a hopeful new program aimed at encouraging the breeding of English horses, it has emerged into a five-star, highdollar event that anchors the excitement on Saturday night at the U.S. Nationals.

“We’re well established now,” AEPA President Peter Conway nods, but he remains focused on the organization’s mission—and what he sees for the future makes him smile. “We are trying to build a tradition of a tremendously great Saturday night class for purebred 4-year-old English horses, and in my discussions with breeders and trainers, I would be willing to go out on a limb and say that next year’s event is going to be the most amazing class ever. I think breeders have really stepped up their game because of this competition and have pushed the breed to ever-higher quality. We’ll have some extraordinary young horses hitting the scene over the next few years.”

An added attraction now is that contenders in the AEPA’s Arabian Horse Times $100,000 Futurity and the Halcon Furniture $50,000 Half-Arabian Futurity are eligible for AHA Breeders Sweepstakes prize money if they are enrolled in that program. That’s another $5,000 to the champion in the purebred AEPA class and $3,500 for the top Half-Arabian.

Peter Conway not only appreciates the progress, but is grateful for the sustained—and growing— support over the years. “It is important to remember why we have been so successful,” he notes. “I am thankful for the stallion owners that recognized that this is a program for breeders and supported it from the outset. And the Arabian Horse Times and Halcon Furniture provide financial support each year.

“I also thank our corporate sponsors and urge everyone to support them in turn. Freedman’s Saddlery provides the highest quality English tack, and this year we added Equine Athlete Veterinary Services to the program. They are at virtually every major Arabian show and are there to provide for all your veterinary needs.”

Baske Afire 2 /2 2 /1999 - 12 /14/2 015

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the death of Baske Afire.

It has been our joy to have been “owned by him” for 8 years.

We are proud of this legendary stallion whose great breeding abilities will be with us for a long time to come.

Thank you to all of those who bred or purchased Baske Afire get and special thanks and congratulations to all who have had the fun of showing and winning with them in the show ring.

Although Baske Afire is no longer with us, we will enjoy watching him live on through his foals.

We will miss him terribly!
