Welcome to Weaver Arabians
Weaver Arabians is based on the combined
talents, training and passion of three individuals; we are excited to inter-weave our various
academic credentials (including a focus on Equine Management via
the Michigan State
University Horse Teaching and Research Center and
previous training at the MSU
Veterinary Teaching Hospital) to form a strong
foundation for our breeding program.
In addition to our academic base are many years of training, handling and showing Arabians,
plus a decade of pedigree/genetic study in conjunction with a
multi-national champion producing establishment.
It is our desire to breed conformationally strong athletes who
display the valued beauty, athletism and personality of the Arabian
horse.
Gifted Treasures
According to the tradition of the Bedouins, to be gifted with an Arabian horse was a great honor; even more so if that gift was a mare.
We will be forever grateful to those who entrusted us with the
care of Noble Afire MFA (IXL Noble Express x Butterfly
Afire) and Flame Dancer (Barbary+++ x
Autumn Flair by *Eter). Flame Dancer is truly the grande dame of Weaver Arabians, heralded in
October 2006 by the owners of Maroon Fire Arabians and Afire Bey V
in an Arabian Horse World article "Heritage
Breeders: Dave & Gail Liniger":
"Flame Dancer became the model by which all other Arabian horses were
judged... Through her special qualities... disposition, correct conformation, athletic ability, and beauty, with no one of those elements being substituted for another.”
- Dave Liniger
It is our greatest joy to care for Flame Dancer as we eagerly
anticipate her foal by Noble Afire MFA in May 2008. Already a
National Champion producing mare, we are focusing on the close-up
doubling of the great sires Barbary+++ and *Eter. Noble's 2nd
dam Bacharah (dam of Bacardi Afire) is a 3/4 sister to Flame; both are
by Barbary+++ out of *Eter daughters ~ a proven cross
for athletism, trainability and beauty.
