I’m actually really excited this year because we have a great finalist for “Horse of the Year”… Adams Fire - an Arabian! An Arabian horses have been finalists three out of the last five times and yet … it’s been 5o years since our last win!
I would pass on the word. And what a great horse! Adams Fire is quite unique in heritage. There are four continents in the first four generations of his pedigree and he is actually half Arabian and half DHH (Saddlebred, Hackney). I always thought his background had a lot to do with how responsive and intelligent he is. He is what we expect from an Arabian horse but he is ALL American in his “melting pot” background and his extraordinary performance. This horse has so much merit… carrying three different riders into those National Championships.
Good luck to him! Keep up the great work!

I was just on Facebook and discovered Adams Fire’s fan page. You should join. I wonder if other horses have one of these. It’s pretty neat.
