Thriving In A Globalized Industry by JEFF WALLACE and THERESA CARDAMONE
We sat down with Midwest Training and Breeding Stations founder David Boggs to find out what has kept Midwest on the cutting edge of the Arabian Market for decades.
Ar abian Horse Times | 1 | Midwest
For over 30 years, Midwest Training and Breeding Stations have set the pace for marketing the world’s finest Arabian horses. According to Midwest founder David Boggs, the formula is simple. “Surround yourself with the very best horses, prepare and condition them in the very best way, and give people a reason to come visit Midwest,” he professes. There are two crucial and constant elements to his continued success. First, high quality horses are the basic ingredients that never change. Second, the celebrated atmosphere of family, fellowship, and fun that truly identifies Team Midwest is carefully cultivated in ways that can nurture some clients for decades while still drawing in fresh new faces. Boggs explains, “We’ve always had presentations of our horses and open houses where people feel welcome. They bring true passion for the horses and are excited and proud to be part of the breed and to be sharing the experience. That puts the pressure on us to fulfill their expectations when they see their first Midwest horse …, we deliver the quality that we promise.” And deliver they do. Horses at Midwest are hand picked, one by one, from every corner of the globe. “We negotiate, sometimes very strongly and diligently, just to acquire them, to gather them together here
in Scottsdale as a collection,” David continues. “It’s a constant search to always have the best of the best of each age group and each gender. It is an ongoing work in progress each day, one that’s very exciting, very thrilling. The global hunt never stops. But that’s fine by me. Besides being my livelihood and my business, my passion and my hobby is Arabian horses. Other than my children, whom the Lord has blessed me with, the Arabian horse is the very heartbeat of who I am.” David feels blessed to have attracted and marketed many millions of dollars’ worth of horses over the years. He syndicated Padron for $11 million in less than 90 days, and had another great year when he sold DA Valentino, Da Vinci FM, two $1,000,000 yearling colts and other great stallions, and some very famous, world class mares. “Quite frankly,” Boggs said, “My dream has always been for Midwest to be known as a Tiffany’s and not a K-Mart. My family owns horses for riding and my children have their ponies and geldings we have fun with. But normally, one doesn’t come to Midwest in search of a riding horse. With limited space, our mission is being the caretakers of the really high end halter and breeding horses.”

The recent Midwest event on the annual Scottsdale Farm Tour is the perfect example of their successful style of marketing. The 650 visitors were all treated as special guests, enjoyed lunch, and were shown 40 of the most spectacular horses on earth in just under two hours. More than 50 business cards left by enthusiastic potential clients will be used to diligently follow up to provide further information and set up appointments to meet the horses up close and personal. Discerning each person’s unique needs is crucial as some may be breeders collecting certain pedigrees, while some want to buy a show horse just for fun. At Midwest, managing the follow-up means individual personal contact from Boggs or his assistant Nate White whenever there is an inquiry. Most of the prospective and existing clients are totally un-like-minded people from all different businesses, ages, and facets of life. The only passion that they share, their common bond, is their love of Arabian horses and how much they enjoy them. “Most people have ‘real jobs’ and purchase horses with disposable income,” David explained. “When they are around the horses, they love to enjoy the atmosphere, the fun, and the fellowship of Midwest. I would say for 80% of our clients, that’s why they’re in it, for that fellowship and fun and the lifestyle it offers them, and for 20% it’s the showing. Horse shows are nerve-wracking, there’s a lot of stress, and it’s a very competitive environment. It’s really nice to get back to the farm, put your blue jeans on, and just hang out together and enjoy the horses with friends.” The thrill of competition gives way to a convivial atmosphere of satisfaction. “We like to do things with the families, BBQs, afternoon socials, and bonfires in the evening. We present horses under the lights. These things are just for fun and people enjoy them together. We go through 100 pounds of carrots every week, because for most Midwest owners, it’s a hands-on thing. Continuing the education, discussing pedigrees, discussing the future plans for their horse, and enjoying it all over a coffee or a cocktail makes it something fun. It’s a relaxing atmosphere.” Midwest manages to maintain the strong in-person camaraderie that people are drawn to while embracing change by increasing access to their sales list to qualified buyers in the global market. Boggs considers
Ar abian Horse Times | 3 | Midwest
technology to be a great blessing to the marketing of the Arabian horse. Today, a high percentage of the horses that Midwest sells are marketed online, to foreign buyers in particular. They can look at a horse’s videos, vet reports, radiographs, and other documents upon request, online. Increased access seems to be helping the industry as a whole and continues to shape the breed. “The European/Middle East market is becoming bigger and bigger each year and the style of horse we love in the United States is closer now to the style of horse they love in Europe,” he related. “It’s really become a global enterprise where we’re sharing horses from different countries. Take for example, a horse like *Kahil Al Shaqab, who was a World Champion Stallion in Paris, stood for breeding in Europe, and has just arrived at Midwest. He is now in the U.S. market and is very popular. Or the noted *Hariry Al Shaqab who won every major title there was to win at the United States Nationals, Scottsdale, and Las Vegas World Cup before he went back to Europe and was recently named the World Champion Stallion in Paris. A globalized industry makes it easier to share horses and share bloodlines.”
Ar abian Horse Times | 4 | Midwest
Maintaining the Midwest website is critical to keep information current for all. But Midwest also believes in the power of print in journals like Arabian Horse Times. To David, exposure is critical. “We update our website and ads all the time so that the industry, the local community, and the world know that we have fine animals available for sale. Sometimes a horse is there for a day and it sells, and there are some that have been here a year and have not sold. So, I don’t think there’s a crystal ball.” According to David, the easiest horses to market are the best up-and-coming yearling fillies and colts in the months leading up to the Scottsdale and Las Vegas World Cup shows. The classes swell to 60-100 fillies vying for the prestigious win and in some cases, great prize money in the Signature and Auction programs. This opens the door to a hot secondary market of the very finest yearlings, many of which are sold on speculation. “They may sell one, or two, or three times prior to the gate opening, so the market for those young babies is always strong,” David says. Hence the never-ending search for the next great offering. “When it gets to late summer or fall, we’re already traveling the globe lining up the Scottsdale yearlings” he continues. “Currently at Midwest, we probably have 20 to 25 spectacular individuals of various bloodlines of that age.” There are many factors at play that determine how long it will take to prepare each horse for sale. Because the horses arrive in various degrees of condition, each timeline is variable. And the price will be set based upon the horse in ultimate condition. The biggest single factor in determining value of any horse is quality. Boggs explains, “A high quality horse always attracts interest. If you want to ask a reasonable price, you have to have that horse in top condition and it has to learn how to be presented. It takes time to condition and prepare. You don’t put a house on the market without first grooming the landscaping or giving it a paint job. The horse, too, will have to be prepared for marketing.” Another huge submarket for Midwest has always included the management of breeding stallions. Whether marketing multi-million dollar superstars like *Padron, Bey Shah+, Fame VF, Magnum Psyche,
Ar abian Horse Times | 5 | Midwest
DA Valentino, *Pogrom, and Baahir El Marwan, or marketing huge amounts of breeding income from today’s giants: *Kahil Al Shaqab, * Baha AA, *Hariry Al Shaqab, Vitorio TO, Aria Impresario, and Conquest BR, great breeding stallions are great for business. Boggs and his team take his position as breeder very seriously. “I think that Midwest is probably the largest breeding station in the world today,” he remarked. “If you add up the satellites and the frozen semen stations for marketing semen abroad, as well as what we breed and ship out of the United States here, Midwest is high on the list. This is a really wonderful thing and a great opportunity for the stallions. Before Vitorio TO went to Michalów State Stud in Poland, he had the opportunity to breed one hundred and fifty plus mares here in the United States, and then at the State Stud Farm in Poland, he had the opportunity to cover many of the most beautiful Polish mares at Michalów over the last two years. This has given Vitorio a tremendous boost now, returning to the Unites States and going into the 2016-breeding season.” Easy shipment of semen makes the stallions more valuable, because they are more accessible to people in all corners of the world. David thinks that it is necessary to shine a bigger spotlight on junior stallions and colts that need to be given a chance. “The senior stallions and top-producing stallions sell Ar abian Horse Times | 6 | Midwest
many, many, more breeding’s, making them even more valuable,” Boggs explains. “Sometimes it’s hard for a young colt to get his foot in the door. We give specials and introductory fees that are extremely reasonable, sometimes to the very, very best stallions. I remember when Magnum Psyche was a yearling; His introductory fee was $1,500 to allow more breeders an opportunity to use him. Now, his $10,000 breeding fee is one of the highest in the industry. Because his fee is higher, the number of mares bred is fewer, but he’s earned that status. At 20 years old, instead of breeding huge volumes, he’s breeding very special and select mares like World Champion Kwestura … he’s going to breed some of the top mares throughout the world.” David and his team at Midwest remain vigilant about orchestrating what comes next in their marketing strategy. The incredible success and spread of the top sire lines Midwest has promoted prompts them to look for a next step. David’s beloved *Padron founded an entire dynasty whose blood is so prevalent; it appears in a huge percentage of today’s pedigrees. For Boggs, that is cause for the next adventure, finding the perfect outcross. “We are excited about *Kahil Al Shaqab and also *Baha AA, both of whom are a complete outcross with no Padron blood, and it makes them extremely popular. *Kahil has six crosses to the immortal *Bask. It’s such an honor, and you feel the presence of his grandsires
when you’re around him. As breeders and entrepreneurs, we’re just beginning to try this cross of Padron, Padrons Psyche, Magnum Psyche, and WH Justice with *Kahil, *Baha, Conquest and the new stallions of Midwest, to create the next generation of super stars. It’s fascinating and cause for excitement and a rebirth of passion. Going right back to what I said earlier, for me the Arabian horse is as much a hobby as it is a livelihood, it is my passion and it is a labor of love.”

THE THIRD DYNASTY By Jeff Wallace and Theresa Cardamone
There are few Arabian stallions who can be said to have “founded a dynasty” of their own. Fewer still are those who can take the already great legacy of their foundation and elevate it to new dynastic heights in the span of a single generation. World Champion Kahil Al Shaqab is among the rarest of the rare … a stallion that is creating a Third Dynasty, which is on a trajectory to equal those of his legendary forefathers.
Kahil’s dynasty builds on that of his grandsire, 2001 World Champion Stallion Gazal Al Shaqab (Anaza El Farid x Kajora, by Kaborr) the first in a now impressive list of world champions bred by Al ShaqabMember of Qatar Foundation. Gazal’s influence as a sire stretches around the globe, creating the First Dynasty for Al Shaqab. Kahil Al Shaqab’s sire, Marwan Al Shaqab (Gazal Al Shaqab x Little Liza Fame, by Fame VF) was the 2001 World Champion Yearling Colt the same year that his own sire Gazal Al Shaqab won the stallion championship. The generations were already interweaving in a stunning tapestry of excellence. Marwan Al Shaqab added the 2002 World Champion Junior Colt award to his record, then brought home his third world championship in 2008 when he was named World Champion Stallion. At the same show, Marwan gave notice that his own dynasty was now taking root, by earning the Leading Sire award for the second year in a row. Marwan continued that string of World Championship Leading Sire honors for an incredible eight straight years. Kahil Al Shaqab (Marwan Al Shaqab x OFW Mishaahl, by Mishaah) exemplifies the finest qualities of the Al Shaqab Arabian. Foaled in 2008, the dynamic bay has it all … near-perfect phenotype and the ability to both reproduce and even out produce himself in creating an unprecedented Third Dynasty for Al Shaqab. Named World Gold Champion Junior Colt in Paris in 2011 and World Gold Champion Stallion in 2014, Kahil Al Shaqab has already achieved the remarkable feat of siring at least one world champion for each of the last three years, against the finest competitors on the planet. They include the 2015 World Gold Champion Junior Stallion Morion (x Mesalina, by Ekstern) bred by Michalów State Stud, Poland,
Ar abian Horse Times | 13 | Midwest
and on lease to Al Thumama Stud. Morion was the clear winner in a very competitive field, splendidly shown by Tom Oben, with five of the eight international judges placing him as their top selection. Morion had served notice the previous year, when he shared the spotlight with his sire while winning the 2014 World Silver Champion Yearling Colt title in Paris. Morion was Polish National Champion Junior Colt earlier in the 2014 season. Kahil Al Shaqab also shared the 2014 Parisian show ring spotlight with his breathtaking daughter Pustynia Kahila (x Pustynna Malwa, by Ekstern), bred and owned by Michalów State Stud, who was named World Gold Champion Yearling Filly. For Kahil, that triumph endorsed the earlier selection of his daughter Minwah (x LC Primavera, by Padrons Psyche),bred by Mohammed Al Sulaiti and owned by Aljassimya Stud, as 2013 World Gold Champion Yearling Filly. With a powerful family dynasty reminiscent of those found at the State Stud Farms in Poland, the maternal side of Kahil Al Shaqab’s pedigree has the genetic power to balance the nearly overwhelming quality of the male line. Those Polish families, like this one, are built on the strength of the dam line and its ability to support the contributions of the sire. Kahil Al Shaqab’s full siblings, Wadee Al Shaqab and Sultanat Al Shaqab are further proof of the prepotency of their bloodlines. Sultanat Al Shaqab recently won the title of 2015 World Silver Champion Yearling Filly, after previously earning the gold championship for yearling fillies in Menton, where her exquisite half-sister D Shireen (x Magic Mon Amour, by Windsprees Mirage) bred and owned by Dubai Stud, was the Silver Champion Yearling Filly. Sultanat began the year by winning the Gold Champion Yearling Filly honors at the Qatar International show by unanimous decision of the judges. Kahil’s brother Wadee Al Shaqab has earned many honors, including 2012 World Gold Champion Colt, 2012 Menton Gold Champion Colt and 2014 Qatar International Gold Champion Stallion. Kahil Al Shaqab spent the 2012 and 2013 breeding seasons on lease to Poland, breeding the finest mares of Janów Podlaski and Michalów. The Polish breeding programs rarely lease outside stallions. It is a testament to their confidence in Kahil Al Shaqab’s quality and ability as a sire that they bred so many of their finest mares to him. The foals that he sired in Poland will undoubtedly continue to add to the breeding program there for generations to come, planting the roots of Kahil Al Shaqab’s Third Dynasty
Ar abian Horse Times | 14 | Midwest
firmly in Polish soil. The get of Kahil are often solid, dark bays with very little white, or silvery greys, who have the near prefect conformation and exuberant nature of their sire. Kahil Al Shaqab has seven crosses to *Bask++, including the jet-black *Bask++ daughter Balaquina through her black daughter OFW Balarina on his maternal dam line. He has crossed exceptionally well with mares descended from Monogramm, another stallion selected by the Poles and used to great effect. In particular, the daughters of Ekstern (Monogramm x Ernestyna, by *Piechur) have created a beautiful blend with Kahil, as proven by his World Champion offspring. Kahil has sired many other exceptional beauties such as 2015 European Gold Champion Yearling Filly Adelita (x Altamira, by Ekstern) bred and owned by Janów Podlaski. Kahil has also produced excellent foals with daughters of Ganges (Monogramm x Goronna, by *Fanatyk). Among the finest is Janów Podlaski’s 2014 Polish National Champion Junior Filly Al Jazeera (x Alhasa, by Ganges), who entranced the judges and crowd alike with her grace and charm. Al Jazeera continued to add to her honors with the 2015 Bialka Spring Show Gold Champion Junior Mare title and the 2015 Al Khalediah European Horse Festival Gold Champion Junior Mare award. The Kahil Al Shaqab son Paris (x Palmeta, by Ecaho) bred and owned by Janów Podlaski, was the 2015 European Bronze Champion Colt after being named the Gold Champion Junior Colt at the Bialka Spring Show and the 2015 Polish National Junior Champion Stallion. Such success as a sire is no accident. The team at Al Shaqab has spent the better part of two decades learning how to preserve the qualities that they prize in their horses. They have gotten to know the breeding philosophies of the most prominent stud farms in the world during extensive touring. Breeding and Show Manager Mohammed Al Sulaiti, Breeding Advisor/Straight Egyptian Specialist Abdullah Al Kuwari, Head of Business Operations Broderick Levens and the Al Shaqab team, hold a holistic view of the Arabian horse that tips the scale in their favor when compared to breeders worldwide. Not only are they concerned about
Ar abian Horse Times | 15 | Midwest
with the intangible elements that separate world-class horses from the rest of the herd. The classic beauty that they possess is equally balanced with intelligence, kindness, trainability, and presence … that indefinable sense of self that cannot be trained into any horse. Kahil Al Shaqab breeds true to his heritage, which extends back through the studbooks of many nations including Brazil and the U.S., Egypt and Poland, Russia and England, all the way to the original desert horse first developed centuries ago by the Bedouins of Arabia and the Middle East. Kahil Al Shaqab continues his legacy with David Boggs and Team Midwest at Midwest Training and Breeding Stations in Scottsdale, Ariz. Kahil’s incredible show record and his emergence as a significant sire of champions have stimulated tremendous interest in him from American breeders, as well as from entities existing all over the globe. Kahil’s popularity was fanned by his first major win in
2009 as the Austrian International Gold Champion Colt in Wels by unanimous vote while a yearling. He has garnered legions of fans along the way. The following year, Kahil was the 2010 Qatar International Gold Champion Colt, adding a Silver Champion Colt title at the 2010 All Nations Cup in Aachen. Kahil Al Shaqab’s rare ability to completely captivate an audience is due in large part to his spirited presence. When Kahil enters the ring, he demands the undivided attention of every onlooker. His classic silhouette and fiery nature are tempered by his abundant intelligence and joy of life. His energy infects every audience, who in turn support him with exuberant enthusiasm. In some ways, Kahil Al Shaqab is an ambassador for the Al Shaqab vision of the Arabian ideal. As a three-year old, in 2011 Kahil was unstoppable as he began to grow into his full potential as a show horse. He was the Gold Champion Colt at the Al
Ar abian Horse Times | 16 | Midwest
Khalediah International Arabian Horse Festival, the Qatar International Arabian Championships, and the Mediterranean & Arab Countries Championships in Menton, before his spectacular wins at the 2011 World Championships in Paris. Not only was Kahil Al Shaqab the World Gold Champion Junior Colt, he also won awards for Best Head and Highest Scoring Horse of the show. His 2014 World Gold Champion Stallion title rounded out Kahil’s international show record to date and elevated him into the very top percentage of the illustrious group who have achieved that honor. At Midwest, David Boggs and his team are carefully preparing Kahil Al Shaqab for his American show ring debut. In February of 2016, Kahil will be presented at the 61st Scottsdale All Arabian Horse Show at the end of David’s lead. Over 2,400 horses gather there each winter to determine who will be victorious. But only one will emerge as the Scottsdale Senior Champion Stallion. With one of the longest and most significant histories of any Arabian horse show in the world, earning that title is a goal achieved only by the very best. As Kahil Al Shaqab bounds out of the footsteps of his kingly ancestors and into the spotlights of Scottsdale, he will add another dimension of accomplishment to his blooming Third Dynasty not only for the benefit of Al Shaqab, but for the many Arabian breeders and enthusiasts all over the world who have enjoyed following him on his wild ride of success, just as they followed Marwan Al Shaqab and Gazal Al Shaqab before him. The torch has been passed, but the ride is far from over. With Kahil Al Shaqab, David Boggs and Scottsdale on the horizon, the fun has just begun.

"Watching and being a part of the journey of a young horse that I deeply admire go through all the stages of growth in a near perfect way, is a rarity and quite something to behold for me and all of Team Midwest; not to mention, for a client that I deeply love and admire like Janey Morse and her family. To have been a part of the planning to see Vitorio set sail to stand two seasons inside the famed Michalów State Stud in Poland and cover many of the world's finest Arabian mares makes this great young stallion a once-in-alifetime horse, to say the least. With arms open wide, we welcome Vitorio home!” — David Boggs

TeamWork has made our dream Work! At Midwest we firmly believe in the values of a TEAM. Everyone involved here at Midwest, from the stable hands to the head trainers and management, is a valuable part of that, that TEAM here, means family. With family, sometimes the simplest things go unsaid, so it is with great sincerity that I want to say from the bottom of my heart, Thank You, to my very loyal staff. Nate White, Alcides and Margaux Rodrigues, Dagmar Gordiano, Judi Anderson, Frank Morisset, Belinda Larson, Sammy and Maria Ojeda, Sean and Elyse Murphy, Kyle Edsall, Colton Jacobs, Ally Nelson and all of those who have a part in Midwest, your dedication is unmatched and I appreciate each and every one of you. Your countless hours and tireless effort is what makes the Dream of Midwest come true. My Deepest Thanks, —David
