BA DEFINATLY KOOL?

Arlene Magid, noted Arabian expert and a contributing author to Arabian Horse World and Arabian Horse Times says:

"BA DEFINATLY KOOL's show career began with a bang in 1999, with championships in halter and numerous under saddle wins in english pleasure junior horse, country pleasure, and native costume, with the high point being the Region 8 Championship show, where he was ably piloted to Region 8 Champion English Pleasure Junior Horse by Shannon Beethe and was also named Region 8 Reserve Champion Stallion AOTH with owner Stacy Andreas (second only to a multi-National Champion). BA DEFINATLY KOOL's record and unlimited potential are typical of his relatives, as he is a full brother to two headliners in halter and saddle seat performance: U.S. National Champion English Pleasure AOTR 40 and Over and Top Ten Stallion TF TOTALLY KOOL++ and U.S. National Champion Pleasure Driving and U.S. and Canadian Top Ten English Pleasure and Region 7 Champion Stallion and Scottsdale Top Ten Halter KOOL FIRE++/. BA DEFINATLY KOOL's grandsires *BASK++ and *ELIMAR are both sires of U.S. National Champion Park and English Pleasure winners and both of his granddams have produced National winners. A great stallion must come from a strong female family, and the mares in BA DEFINATLY KOOL's dam line have produced National winners for four generations,a remarkable feat achieved by just a handful of mare families in the breed.

BA DEFINATLY KOOL is by regional halter winner and english pleasure champion LE FIRE, sire of 12 National winners.including National Champions in halter and english pleasure like Canadian National Champion English Pleasure RL RAH FIRE, U.S. National Champion English Pleasure FIRENELLA, and Canadian National Champion Futurity Colt NIGHT OF FIRE. LE FIRE is a scion of one of the breed's most successful nicks--that of U.S. National Champion Stallion and Park *BASK++ (the breed's all time leading sire of champions) on SUSECION, a cross that produced 4 National winners and 3 producers of National winners. SUSECION was the first mare to produce two U.S. National Champion Mares (BASK MELODY and FIRE MUSIC++, also a U.S. National Champion in English Pleasure). Her son CAL O BASK sired National winners in halter, english pleasure and park including U.S. National Champion Mare BASK CALONETT, and her sons BASKAFIRE and FIRE ALERT have also sired National winners in the english division.

BA DEFINATLY KOOL's dam TRULY KOOL is a daughter of *ELIMAR, whose best-known get include the multi U.S. National Champion Park MHR NOBILITY(whose dam is by *BASK++) and U.S. National Champion English Pleasure and Informal Combination MHR MARTEEN. TRULY KOOL comes from amazing family of mares noted for producing National winners in halter and performance. Her dam PRETTY KOOL also produced Canadian Reserve National Champion Country Pleasure GFI CHRYSTAL FIRE. PRETTY KOOL is by*NABORR, the first stallion to sire 2 U.S. National Champion Stallions. PRETTY KOOL's dam BULOWA is also the dam of BUSABI+/ (a National winner in show hack and hunt pleasure with a junior rider) and of MYSDECAL (dam of U.S. National Champion English Pleasure AOTR WS BRIGADIER and National winner producer MYSDYS STARSBORRN). BULOWA is by FARLOWA, a sire of National winners in halter and performance and of 12 mares who have produced National winners. BULOWA's dam BUDRA produced U.S. Top Ten Halter RACOURI++, and 4 producers of National winners: BUCOURI++, BUFARA, BULOWA, and COURONATA(dam of Canadian Reserve National Champion Working Cow Horse COURABBA). This is a remarkable family, and BA DEFINATLY KOOL is a superb representative of it."
