Wieza Mocy was a wonderful bonus to a whole new world that was opened to Oak Ridge and Vitorio!” Because David Boggs had a strong existing relationship with the Polish breeders, it smoothed the way for Janey. Wieza Mocy rewarded Janey with championships every time shown, capturing the gold titles at Scottsdale, the Las Vegas World Cup, and the United States National Mare Finals. She has left three daughters in America; for Janey the exquisite Wieza Noor ORA, by Hariry Al Shaqab, who will be crossed with Vitorio TO in the future. Showing the undefeated *Hariry Al Shaqab to Champion Stallion titles for Al Shaqab – Member of Qatar Foundation at the United States Nationals in 2014, the Arabian Breeder Finals in the fall of 2014 and the 2015 Scottsdale All Arabian Horse show, was an honor. This was an amazing tribute to the more than three centuries of relationship that exists between the people of Qatar and the Arabian horse. The alabaster stallion’s dynamic presence, fiery elegance and classic type captivated the audience and judges alike. *Hariry Al Shaqab stole the breath and then the hearts of the crowd in Scottsdale with his unanimous win and was one of several Al Shaqab champions entrusted to Midwest. Others included Grand Champion International Junior Filly, *Leen Al Shaqab, Reserve Champion Junior Colt *Falah Al Shaqab, International Straight Egyptian Heritage Reserve Champion Stallion *Farhoud Al Shaqab and his daughter, *Ghala Al Shaqab, who was the Egyptian Heritage Reserve Champion Mare. Dr. Dan and Maureen Grossman, the breeders of Donna Molta Bella SRA, have been clients of Midwest since 1984. They forged a relationship then, with the likes of Bey Shah and DA Valentino, that has led to many collaborations and victories over the years. It has also provided the connection that placed their beautiful homebred filly in her new home with Al Saqran Stud. By virtue of embryo transfer, the Grossmans have welcomed a stunning 2015 son from Donna Molta Bella SRA who is sired by another World and U.S. National Champion, one of the breed’s finest stallions, Marwan Al Shaqab.

MIDWEST Where Champions Are Made Three years new to the breed, Bassam Al Saqran has achieved a lifetime of accomplishments with his horses because he entrusted them to Team Midwest from the start. Last fall, David led three of his horses to U.S. National championships. Baahir El Marwan fulfilled his promise as Scottsdale Supreme Champion Halter horse when he was also named the 2014 United States Supreme National Champion Senior Stallion. ES Harir was the National Champion 3-Year-Old Colt on the way to winning the Reserve National Championship for Junior Colts. In addition, his captivating Donna Molta Bella SRA was named U.S. Supreme National Champion Junior Filly, and Las Vegas World Cup Gold Champion before she capped off a banner year with the title of 2014 World Gold Champion Junior Filly at the most prestigious show of them all, the Salon du Cheval in Paris, with David on the lead. From the earliest beginnings in 1993, AJ Marino and his family have enjoyed the challenge of breeding and showing great Arabian horses. Evidence of their success is their homebred Kharisma M, sired by six-time National Champion DA Valentino. Combining the filly’s overall quality and training with the skill that AJ has himself developed under the tutelage of David and his Midwest Team, Marino showed Kharisma M to the 2014 U.S. National Champion Mare AAOTH title. Pam Halbrook and her daughter Pam Bauerlein are partners in Halbrook Arabians. They have enjoyed being part of the Midwest team for many years, especially loving the camaraderie that exists amongst the other clients and the staff. Lady Vitorio ORA, their beautiful daughter of Vitorio TO and TM Mona Lisa, was a Top Ten Yearling Filly at the 2014 U.S. Nationals and is the Region 1 Champion 2-Year-Old Filly. She will compete again this year under Midwest’s care. A Jericho won the 2013 U.S. National Reserve Champion Yearling Colt title with David Boggs on the lead, and Jean and Allan Abel and their family were catapulted to the forefront of the industry. Through their association with Midwest, they were not only able to showcase their young stallion, but secure for him a breeding right

MIDWEST Where Champions Are Made to one of the most coveted mares in the world, Wieza Mocy. To add her to his already rich harem of their own fine mares was a real coup for the Abel family, and a direct result of their connection to David Boggs. The 2015 bay filly Wieza Ariha, is the stunningly elegant result of the A Jericho x Wieza Mocy cross. Many years ago, a young David made lifelong friends and clients out of Dick, Lollie and Lara Ames when he led Lollie’s prize Gainey-bred mare Gai Fawn to the first national top ten win for Cedar Ridge Arabians. Their confidence in him is laid on a foundation forged over three decades and continues to present day. David will be showing their elegant Polish import Perfirka in the very near future. Perfirka is an ethereal beauty with an amazing neck and throat that punctuate her overall excellence. Beyond all of that, she has spectacular movement to complete the package. David will also lead the Ames’ breathtaking bay filly Wieza Bella, a prized daughter of Pogrom and Wieza Mocy. It was through David that they were able to purchase the right to that embryo from Janey Morse. Jeff Sloan is another client who has shared a history with David Boggs for over 30 years, dating back to the victory celebration of the beloved *Padron in 1982. It was a bonding experience that grew into mutual respect and a lifelong business relationship. The trust that has developed allows Sloan the confidence to recommend Midwest services to his many partners for the horses that he has selected for them, including Aria Impresario, RH Triana, BH Beijing’s Velvet, and the straight Egyptian filly Sofiya AA, an exciting and exotic daughter of Al Ayal AA on lease from Ariela Arabians in Israel to a partnership that he manages. Sofiya AA will soon arrive in America and will reside at Midwest to be shown exclusively by Boggs. Director Marek Trela of Janów Podlaski State Stud in Poland, entrusted David with Pogrom, one of the most promising young stallions to emerge from

And from the continuing flow of exquisite horses that come through their doors, the clients recognize their sincerity. With the arrival of Kahil Al Shaqab and Baha AA, and the return of Vitorio TO from Michal贸w, the team at Midwest is feeling a familiar blossoming of excitement for what the future will hold. *Kahil Al Shaqab has been both Gold World Champion Senior Stallion and Gold World Champion Junior Colt, and has already sired Gold World Champion offspring. He stood two years inside the State Studs of Poland as a junior stallion, being bred to a roster of their finest mares. Now *Kahil will take on the United States as he prepares for the show ring and the upcoming breeding season with Midwest, where Boggs and his team will provide him with the finest care and services during his stay. Jeff Sloan and his partners, in teaming with Midwest, have placed their beautiful stallion *Baha AA at the American epicenter of the Arabian horse in Scottsdale. Bred by Ariela Arabians in Israel, he is a son of Al Ayad and the Laheeb daughter Baraaqa AA. Supreme Champion Stallion at the Egyptian Event in Lexington, Ky., and Gold Champion Stallion at the Egyptian Event Europe, *Baha AA is clearly one of the finest straight Egyptian stallions alive today. American breeders have joined their European and Middle Eastern counterparts in making *Baha AA the stallion of choice for their best mares, with his first U.S. foal crop outstripping even the highest of expectations. The future holds nothing but promise for this special stallion.

MIDWEST Where Champions Are Made It is the promise of the future that keeps Boggs and everyone at Team Midwest eager to face the challenges of each new day. With family at the heart of every decision, his thoughts are never far from his four children. His daughters Lyndsey and Courtney are now young adults, and Emma is heading off to college to join her sisters. Jake has begun a new school year in Scottsdale, loving his almost daily visits to the horse farm, and he is more determined than ever to emulate his father. Raised with love, the Boggs children are growing up, and growing up well. They are a testament to the man who raised them, and the source of his deepest joy. As the excitement of the culminating events of the show season begins to swell, the promise of the future looms large on the horizon. It is a future that will surely be filled with the thrill of victory, the satisfaction of a job well done, and the company of friends near and far.

David Boggs
David Boggs has enjoyed a career in the Arabian business that is really unparalleled. It is a career that he orchestrated himself, on the foundation of the love he has for Arabian horses that was instilled in him from birth by his mother and father. He did it with the support of his close-knit family, many of whom have worked alongside him. He was also blessed with the love and commitment of the friends, employees, and clients that make up Midwest Training and Breeding Stations. Year after year, David has done his part to realize his many successes, but he is also grateful for the help that comes from above. Owners from all over the world have entrusted him with some of the finest Arabian horses ever born. Countless national and international champions have come through his barn. He has met every challenge that has come down over the years, and emerged with flying colors. This year, he faced a different kind of personal challenge, throughout which he has relied on that carefully woven network of support. It is the tapestry of family, faith, and friends, and the magic of the magnificent horses in his care that keep him positive, passionate and moving ever forward.

Foremost in David’s life are his children. David considers them to be his greatest treasures and his greatest motivation to continue to excel. They are what drive him to be the best that he can be. His twin daughters, Lyndsey and Courtney, are deep into their college careers and have grown into amazing young adults who fill their father’s heart with pride. As hard as it was to send his youngest daughter, Emma, off to begin her new life as a college freshman, he looks forward to seeing her explore her future. Jake has begun a new school year in Scottsdale, joining his dad on the horse farm nearly every day, and giving David the supreme pleasure of sharing his passion for horses. The Boggs children are a testament to the man who raised them, and the source of his deepest joy. It has been a year of incredible highs for Midwest’s stable of amazing clients. While each and every shared victory warms David’s heart, there are two relationships that have taken a skyrocketing trajectory, that with Janey Morse of Oak Ridge Arabians, and Al Shaqab – Member of Qatar Foundation. Janey’s lease of Wieza Mocy the prior year lit the fuse on an
www.midwestarabian.com Midwest | 21 | Ar abian Horse Times
explosive American show career for the Polish Princess. Once settled into the care of David Boggs and the fantastic Team Midwest staff, there was no need for a Gold Rush … David simply presented Wieza Mocy, and the golds quickly found her. What is to be next for David and this once-in-a-lifetime horse? Just close your eyes and visualize this now legendary mare dancing her way through the City of Lights. David and Janey are both greatly looking forward to the return of Janey’s beloved Vitorio TO, who has been on lease to Michalów State Stud in Poland. Already the sire of national champions in America, his amazing foals from some of Poland’s finest mares are being talked about all over the world. David and Vitorio TO have a special bond that makes his homecoming particularly exciting. It is a connection that comes along rarely, but when it does, it lasts forever. He has nothing but the highest admiration for Vitorio TO and sees endless possibilities for his future.

David has also been honored to show the horses of Al Shaqab, particularly the charismatic and undefeated Hariry Al Shaqab, who David describes as, “Six tigers by the tail to show and absolutely a thrill to present.” With Hariry’s return to Europe, David is elated to have another magnificent Al Shaqab stallion in his care, that being double World Champion Kahil Al Shaqab. Kahil has also served two seasons inside the Polish State Studs, leaving Polish national champion offspring in his wake. David is extremely excited to present Kahil Al Shaqab to the American public in the very near future. These exhilarating wins and testing times have given David a new realization. By looking back at the hurdles he had encountered through the year, through all of the ups and downs, he had always been taken care of … therefore, why would he not always be? David was able to lean into his faith and know that indeed he would be, as indeed he has. For that, he is eternally grateful.

A Jericho’s first foals are now on the ground, and they are fulfilling all of the Abel family’s hopes and dreams. “The highlight of our year was going to Midwest to see A Jericho’s babies for the first time,” says Jean. “We owe those beautiful babies to David’s good taste in mares and Janey Morse’s generosity in leasing the mares to us.” Jean appreciates the camaraderie of their Midwest experience saying, “Being part of Midwest means being part of a big family. We have met many great people, learned a lot, and had lots of fun. As a part of Team Midwest, we hope for a successful show and breeding year.

That pleased her parents, who had loved and owned Arabians since before she was born.

They eagerly anticipate the show debuts of their exquisite mare, the Polish import *Perfirka, and their 2015 filly Wieza Bella, a daughter of Pogrom and Wieza Mocy, two of the finest horses produced in Poland in recent years. “The Ames Family has had a long association with the Boggs family,” says Lara Ames. “We are very pleased to have them represent two horses that we are so proud of.

For more than 25 years, Fernando and Joaquin have nurtured their love for Arabian horses in their native Argentina. Just an hour outside of Buenos Aires lays their 450-acre Haras Mayed, where they have accumulated some of the world’s finest horses. Their breeding philosophy is to produce complete horses that have beauty, type, and correct conformation in addition to athleticism and great minds. Through their association with David Boggs, they were able to acquire their beloved stallion, the legendary multi-National Champion and champion producing, Magnum Psyche. Now known as “The King of Kings” he is one of the most influential sires of all time. Joaquin reflects on the 20-year relationship Haras Mayed has enjoyed with David Boggs, “Over this long period of time, he has shown impeccable business ethics and a great eye for opportunities. We feel very happy to have him close, and count on his incredible eye for horses. Visiting Midwest Training Centre is always a blast and we consider Team Midwest our Arabian horse family.”

Keeping handler honors in the family, Jeff presented Vitoria to Reserve Champion Mare 3 & 4 Years Old AAOTH. Vitoria Beckham, a daughter of Vitorio TO and Legacys American Rose, is their favorite horse and, according to Jeff, will be an important building block in the Frahm’s relatively new program. “We are expecting a foal from Vitoria Beckham sired by Van Gogh AM, and couldn’t be more excited,” he said.

“This amazing Arabian breed has been a key part of my life for well over 35 years,” says Paul Glans. “I continuously reflect back to the years of learning and enjoyment that the Arabian horse has brought to me and Sabrina. We are truly grateful for the steadfast support of the Arabian horse community and feel fortunate for those that we have met along the way.” “Team Midwest is nothing less than upstanding,” Paul continues. “Sabrina and I have not only embraced their camaraderie, but have enjoyed a strong sense of character in their staff and fellow clients. We have savored our winnings, but in reflection, have taken with us so much more. Our ongoing love affair with the Arabian horse is core to the life to which we have become accustomed.” “I feel fortunate for my bond with this special breed,” Paul adds, “but then again, blessed with a unity that flows hand in hand with my career. Thank you, David and Team Midwest, for your part in our divine hobby, and thank you again, for your continued loyalty in my career with General Motors.”

Dan & Maureen Grossman Stone Ridge Arabians
Dan and Maureen Grossman have loved and bred Arabian horses with great success for over 30 years, and have been Midwest clients since 1984. Maureen elaborates, “David is a supreme marketer with persistence and determination, but it is his relentless passion to win that sets him apart. He has created at Midwest a fantastic farm atmosphere that welcomes all of his clients and newcomers with open arms. This winning combination has proved to be winning for all of us.” By virtue of embryo transfer, the Grossmans have welcomed a stunning 2015 colt from World and U.S. National Champion Donna Molta Bella SRA, who they bred. The colt is sired by another World and U.S. National Champion, one of the breed’s finest stallions, Marwan Al Shaqab. They are also looking forward to the developing career of Ice Storm SRA, their young stallion who is ready to carry on his six-time United States National Champion sire DA Valentino’s legacy.

Pam Halbrook & Pam Bauerlein Halbrook Arabians
Pam Halbrook’s love for Arabian horses stretches back over 55 years. Daughter Pam Bauerlein, shares her mother’s passion and is her partner in Halbrook Arabians. They consider David Boggs a “rock star” in the business as well as being their strongest mentor and dear friend. Lady Vitorio ORA, their beautiful daughter of Vitorio TO and TM Mona Lisa, was a Top Ten Filly at the 2014 U.S. Nationals and will compete again this year under Midwest’s care. “She is in the perfect barn to do what she needs to do,” says Bauerlein. “With her futurity year coming up in 2016, we are filled with anticipation. She just keeps getting better and better.” She cites Scottsdale as her favorite time of year. “It’s like Christmas for horse people!” she said. “It’s the start of the season, and seeing the yearlings is like unwrapping new gifts each year. The Midwest barn generates so much excitement—the horses, the people, the parties! We love being a part of Team Midwest.”

Marino Family
Anthony, Denise, Brittany & AJ Marino When AJ Marino was considering buying Kharmel BR for the Marino Arabians breeding program, the mare was also being looked at by David Boggs. The two men met, and although AJ walked away with the mare, he by no means walked away from David and Midwest Training Centre. On the contrary, the Midwest family has become a natural extension to the Marino family’s tight-knit clan. From the earliest beginnings in 1993, AJ and his sister Brittany have enjoyed the challenge of breeding and showing great Arabian horses. Evidence of their success is there homebred Kharisma M, Kharmel BR’s outstanding daughter sired by six-time National Champion DA Valentino. Combining the filly’s overall quality and training with the skill that AJ has himself developed under the tutelage of David and his Midwest team, AJ showed Kharisma M to the 2014 U.S. National Champion Mare AAOTH title. AJ sums it up, “I can truly count on David and Team Midwest for anything, and that is saying a lot.”

Janey Morse
Oak Ridge Arabians Don’s and my journey with the Arabian horse began with David Boggs and Midwest Training Centre in 2003 and Midwest quickly became our “home away from home.” Today I am happy to say that it is still “home,” a place where friends and families love and support one another, with David and his wonderful team at the center, sharing our hopes and vision for the future. My favorite 2015 Midwest moment occurred at this year’s Breeder Finals in Scottsdale when Vitorio’s get were honored with multiple gold, silver and bronze championships. I know Don would be thrilled as Vitorio was his favorite horse and our dreams for him seem to be becoming a reality. And now ~ Wieza Mocy ~ the perfect mare in my eyes! The honor that Director Bialabok and Poland gave us by leasing her will never be forgotten. Each moment in her presence is special as she is both more regal and more loving than any horse I have ever known. After winning every major championship in America, her next stop is Paris, and I just wonder if my favorite moments in 2015 will be replaced …

Kathleen Olsson Sweden Arabian Stud
Kathleen Olsson was thirteen when she got her first Arabian horse. Nearly twenty years later, she is still as fascinated by them as she was in the very beginning. Their extreme beauty, versatility, and kindness deeply touch her soul. As does Kathleen’s exquisite jet-black stallion, International Gold Champion Magic Magnifique. Exotic and refined, he is line-bred to Thee Desperado, and was the first Scandinavian Arabian to stand at Midwest. Kathleen appreciates the Midwest team, saying, “I have always loved seeing their high-quality horses, photographs of their lovely farm, and hearing of the amazing wins they would report from the latest show they had attended, not to mention their worldwide success in general. I have always been very impressed with David and Team Midwest. Today my stallion and I are a part of Midwest, and David and his team members all have such big hearts; they are always professional with tons of experience. I could not be more grateful to all at Midwest.”

Daniel & Fabiana Pastorino Haras Doña Cecilia, Uruguay
Daniel and Fabiana Pastorino began breeding Arabian horses on their Haras Doña Cecilia in Uruguay in 2008. Since that time, their horses have won 16 Uruguayan championships including Grand Champion at Expo Prado 2013. And, for the second consecutive year, a Doña Cecilia horse was named Best Horse of the Year. One of their finest is Vitorino DC. He was the first foal from foundation mare Kharalisa BPA. By Vitorio TO, Vitorino DC was 2014 Las Vegas World Cup Bronze Supreme Champion Yearling Colt and U.S. National Top Ten Yearling Colt for the Pastorinos and is now owned by Almshalia Stud, Saudi Arabia. Vitorino DC’s full sister, Khaline DC, will be presented by Midwest at the 2015 U.S. Nationals, with high expectations. “We invite everyone to know our house and our horses,” welcomes Daniel. “We breed champions, the foundation for our path of success. Arabian horses are our passion. They live in freedom and joy. Our land allows them enjoyment and us to enjoy them,” he further states. “They represent the love and effort in breeding excellence.”

Gina Pelham
Haras La Catalina, Argentina Haras La Catalina is the Argentine home of Lady Georgina Pelham, where she has been breeding Arabian horses for nearly 40 years. Gina always looks forward to renewing her connection with the Midwest team. “Team Midwest as a whole, is quite wonderful and I love visiting them all during Scottsdale time, where they always make me feel truly welcome and at home.” Gina continues, “Over the years I have loved David as a good and dear friend, and I always wish him the very best.” It was due to her friendship and association with David Boggs that she was able to purchase Legacy of Fame, Gina’s personal favorite and an excellent sire. A gorgeous bay stallion whose pedigree vibrates with some of the greatest of the American foundational bloodlines, he is by the Aladdinn grandson Legacy of Gold and from a Fame VF daughter who is out of a double-Serafix mare.

Stan Schneider Schneider Saddlery
Stan Schneider is the owner and chairman of Schneider Saddlery, a 65 year old family owned business servicing the entire equestrian industry. Since the 1960’s, Schneiders has specialized in products for the Arabian horse industry, and today is the largest supplier in the world. Their products are used on champions from Scottsdale to Brazil, and Australia to Dubai. A guiding principal of Schneiders has been to work with leading professionals to develop or improve products that help their customers better train, show, care for and enjoy their horses. This process has led to hundreds of innovations over the years. Stan’s relationship with David and Team Midwest is a perfect example of this principal. They have collaborated on products since the late 1970’s. Among the most widely used are the original patent leather cable show halters, training halters, ultra grooming products, blanket and sheet line, and numerous stable supplies. “I want to again, thank David and his talented staff, for sharing their expertise with us … and even more, for his friendship.”

Jorge Selume
Haras Santa Marta, Chile Tucked away amid the vineyards of the beautiful Valle del Maule in Chile is Haras Santa Marta, home to a collection of Arabian horses that Jorge Selume has been breeding since 2005. Two years earlier, he became involved with Arabians when he purchased three Arabian riding horses and fell in love with their beauty and character. He decided to begin collecting the best mares available in South America, later expanding that focus to the world at large. Jorge’s friends and mentors, Fernando and Joaquin de Santibañes, introduced him to David Boggs, which led to his happy membership into the Midwest family. “We are very proud of our achievements so far,” he said. “But we need to continue improving and developing our breeding potential. For this new stage, we believe that David and the Midwest family are the best partners we could have.” Recently, Jorge purchased the incredible yearling filly Promessaa from fellow Midwest clients, the Weegens. Promessaa was recently named 2015 Region 3 Champion Yearling Filly for Haras Santa Marta.

Jeff Sloan
Aria International Jeff Sloan has known David Boggs for over 30 years. Their mutual respect for each other has grown into a lifelong business relationship and friendship. The trust that has been built from a result of their many successes together, gives Sloan the confidence to recommend Midwest services to his many partners. He explains, “I’ve known, worked with, competed against, and celebrated success with David since we met in 1982. I know that in any of my horse endeavors, if David and I are on the same team to campaign a horse, the odds of success in the show ring, and in the marketplace, are greatly accelerated.” The partners in Triana Holdings experienced this firsthand as David guided their mare RH Triana to the World Cup Gold Supreme Champion Mare title this past April in Las Vegas. Sloan and partners have entrusted their best to David and Midwest, including Baha AA, a promising young sire who is fast emerging as a rising force in the breed. Baha was bred in Israel by Ariela Arabians and will be a major contributor to breeding programs around the world for years to come. David and Midwest look to build his show ring credentials as well by building on his top honors earned at the both the Egyptian Event Europe and the Egyptian Event in Lexington where he was Champion Stallion at both shows. Another of Sloan's recent endeavors is the lease of the exotic straight Egyptian filly Sofiya AA from Ariela Arabians in Israel. She will reside at Midwest to be shown exclusively by David Boggs. As Sloan continues his journey of excellence to create a collection of the world's finest Arabian horses, David and Midwest will no doubt factor very centrally into his vision and the execution of it.

Melissa Subjeck Melissa Subjeck appreciates the total experience that she receives at Midwest. Whether as someone with a horse in training, as a seller, or as a buyer, Melissa feels like she is kept “in the loop” every step of the way. She was thrilled when her dynamic Vitorio TO son, Remember The Nyte RMA, was named 2014 United States National Champion Half-Arabian Yearling Gelding. “U.S. Nationals was by far my favorite moment of 2014,” says Melissa. “Midwest reached so many milestones, culminating with wins in the senior mare and senior stallion championships. Baahir El Marwan’s stallion championship was particularly special for me, as I was expecting a 2015 Baahir foal, a half sibling to my gelding who was crowned the national champion a few days earlier. These milestones were memorialized in one of my favorite photos of all time—the Midwest team victory shot at the stall front. That photo captures the excitement of Midwest.”

The Tom Walter Family
Tom & Earleen Walter and Jessica & Flaco Maldonado “Midwest has been an incredible experience since we first became involved in halter breeding/showing almost 10 years ago,” says Jessica Maldonado, daughter of Tom and Earleen Walter. “It is a family-friendly environment and we enjoy spending time with the team at Midwest.” A daughter’s love of horses drew the family into the equine world. Nearly a decade later, they are more involved than ever. “Showing our filly Layla X, by our stallion Xanthuss, has definitely been a highlight,” Jessica continues. “Her incredible 2014 show season culminated in a U.S. Nationals top ten in a very big and competitive yearling filly class, which was our first national halter win as breeders. We have now come full circle with our involvement at Midwest because the horse that originally brought us to Midwest—Xanthuss— returned home to Midwest this summer on a break in his performance career to prepare for the amateur stallion halter class at U.S. Nationals.”

Todd & Glena Weegens “From our first purchase until now, our entire involvement with the Arabian horse has been with Midwest,” says Todd Weegens. “The knowledge about the breed that is shared by David and the entire team has been invaluable, and the loving care provided to our horses is very important to us.” Janey Morse introduced Todd and Glena to Arabians nearly ten years ago. Their friendship flourished and led to them meeting David Boggs and joining the Midwest family. They value the friends that they have made through Team Midwest and the excitement of cheering for their own or other client’s horses provides them with lasting memories. More memories were made at the 2014 U.S. Nationals, when their fantastic DA Valentino daughter Beni TG was named U.S. National Champion Half-Arabian Futurity Filly before topping that with the Supreme National Champion Half-Arabian Junior Filly title. It just doesn’t get any better than that!

A special thank you ... CELEBRATING A LIFETIME OF ENJOYMENT with our horses and nearly 30 years with the Cadillac industry, I am very aware of the roles that friendship and commitment have played in my life and career. My friends and clients in the Arabian horse community have shown me such incredible loyalty. Indeed, I consider this to be ... one of the greatest measures of my success. As a family we are sincerely grateful, Paul & Sabrina Glans
