Re: [RC] [RC] Looking up previous owners - Chris PausCongrats on your find, Kari. I have an ex racer too and loff him. He's a 21 Y Young stallion. The more I learn about him, the more amazing I think he is. I wish I could find some finish line photos of him. I do have a video tape of one of his races. Szybki also is pure polish, 18 percent WitezII, and a son of Sambor. He had 45 starts in 4 years, won 11 races, finished 1, 2, or 3 in half his starts. He was an Arabian Racing cup nominate sire for 3 years. He has 25 reg. offspring, one of whom went on to race pretty well. I had the good fortune to speak to his race trainer who told me he "ran the legs off that horse, but he never quit." He said they raced him twice a week sometimes and the horse retired sound and fit. He's still very sound with great legs and back. I took him to a vet chiro when I first got him and the chiro was amazed with Szybki's race career that he has nothing wrong! I ride him a lot, but at his age, I'm not sure I want to start him on distance riding. He probably could do some LDs. Oh, btw, I've had his semen tested and it's "shippable!" chris --- Kari Hanes <khanes@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: Maggie, I just spoke with Bonnie. She was very happy to hear about her horse and know she was okay. She was very distressed to find out Frank sold her at auction. She is having her daughter copy some photos of her for me. I told her to pass them off to you and we could get them at the next endurance ride. I hope that's okay with you. She also said I may be able to get Frank to sign the papers off to us for a fee, she is willing to do it for nothing. Do you (or anyone else) have any idea what the proper price would be to do something like that? Thanks for all the information, I knew there was something special about that mare when I first saw her, I had know idea how special she is. She is PURE Polish, exceptional bloodlines. Though at 16 years old we wont be endurance riding her, we will take her to open shows and possibly arab shows if we can get her papers. Her babies will definately be endurance prospects! Thanks!

She wasprobably one of the horses sold when Bonnie andFrank divorced. Bonnie isremarried and is one of our clients. She is stillin Clarksville. We havea mare we got from Bonnie ourselves who just had abeautiful colt by Malik.She may have been passed around and you may hearsome bad things aboutBonnie but she was trying to make the best of a badsituation. We think sheis a stand up lady. I am not sure if she sold thehorse or if Frank did butshe is an upfront lady and will tell you what shecan. Her name now isBonnie Bedwell and her number is 616-374-1180. Idon't know if she would bewilling or is able to help with ownership papers ornot as she sold most ofthese horses at a very definite loss. But I wouldsay you got a helluvadeal even if you never do get the papers. :) Shepractically GAVE most ofthem away. Almost but not quite. Good luck andhave fun with her.Miles of smiles, Maggie http://arabianquest.com/samaha_arabians.htm "So many of our dreams seem impossible, thenimprobable, then inevitable."Christopher Reeve ----- Original Message ----- From: "Kari Hanes" <khanes@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <ridecamp@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Saturday, May 22, 2004 9:23 PM Subject: Re: [RC] [RC] Looking up previous ownersAmbar, WOW!!!

She's got small cutson her here and thereand we were trying figure out what happened toher. It looks like she'sbeen going from auction to auction for awhile. I hope I can contact the previous owner and letthem know she's in agood home now. It looks like she was well takencare of while she wasraced, but not recently. I tried to contact theowners with the PO Boxaddress earlier today and the number on ArabianQuest is the same one.Wish me luck everyone, lets all pray that shewasn't sold under shadycircumstances and they want her back!
