Heirs Noble Love

7-Time U.S. National Champion

Karlton & Mary Ann Jackson, A Breeder’s Journey by THERESA CARDAMONE

Dark eyes gleaming, ears pricked forward, Heirs Noble Love drives forward in a sparkling trot, knees breaking way above level, light and happy in the bridle. Her refinement, balance, and grace combine with smooth power and cadence to propel her once again to the winner’s circle. When Heirs Noble Love was named the 2019 United States National Champion English Pleasure horse, it was for the third time, with previous unanimous Open wins in 2018 and 2016. Noble Love had already won the U.S. National Champion English Pleasure Junior Horse title in 2014, was the unanimous 2013 U.S. National Champion AEPA AHT Saddle Seat Futurity title winner, and had captured 2012 U.S. National Champion English Pleasure Futurity honors! It was an unprecedented achievement that is unlikely to be repeated. No other horse has ever won all of the U.S. National English Pleasure championships as a 3-year-old, 4-year-old, 5-year-old, and as an Open horse (x 3!). And that isn’t all. In addition to those six memorable victories under saddle, Heirs Noble Love also donned harness to win the 2017 U.S. National Champion Pleasure Driving award by unanimous vote. She may well be the only horse to ever win seven United States National performance titles by the age of ten. When Heirs Noble Love is entered at a show, fans hurry to get a good spot on the rail or in the stands, eager to cheer her on. She has a commanding presence juxtaposed with her femininity—she is one for the ages. More than once she has been compared to the legendary English horses of the past, but her accomplishments outshine them all. She is arguably the best of all time.

Her breeder, Karlton Jackson, got involved with the Arabian breed when he and his wife Mary Ann were looking for a riding instructor for their two daughters and fell in love with the Arabian horses they encountered. After successful show careers, the girls went off to college and Jackson was inspired to learn more about the breeding end of the business from Joel Kiesner, from whose barn they were then operating. “We talked about breeding as if Joel was the architect, so I could understand what we were designing here,” Jackson explains. “He would tell me how we could get more trot or more neck by using different stallions. We always ask ourselves how we can improve on the mare to enhance the line.” Kiesner found EA Aphroditie (AA Apollo Bey x Bint Rafhara, by *Gwar), whom he thought had the characteristics they were looking for in a foundation mare. “With Joel’s guidance, we tried to release all of the potential that she had in her heritage,” adds Jackson. With four national champion offspring who have seven U.S. titles between them, the breeding decisions have proven to be sound indeed, earning EA Aphroditie the AHT Dam of Excellence title. When bred to IXL Noble Express, she produced Noble Aphroditie who is a Dam of Excellence herself with two national champion progeny to her credit, including Heirs Noble Love. “Afires Heir was young, but Joel knew from riding him that he would bring the softness in the bridle and an even better neck and trot to Noble Aphroditie,” says Jackson. “It was the perfect cross. Due to embryo transfer, Heirs Noble Love is already the mother of several young prospects and the future dam of others by Persuasion, Inception, etc. Her first foals have an air about them, as she does; they’re very self-assured. They are going to be good show horses and very trainable because of their attitude. She may be the third of her line to earn the Dam of Excellence title.” Kiesner agrees. “I’ve never seen anything like it,” he states. “She’s a golden goose herself. Not only has she had some of the most spectacular performances in the history of the breed for so many years, I believe she could change the breed with her babies.”

As Karlton Jackson leans in to his fourth generation of breeding, he savors every step of the process. “It’s been a great journey,” he relates. “Our goal is to improve the breed and to enjoy doing it. I would love to think that other people can have the same kind of experience that we’ve had with Heirs Noble Love.”
