Re: [RC] Polish bloodlines - heidiJayel Super's sire was Zambezi. Triple Comet and Bask. Heidi may be able tell you more about dams. Both are basically Crabbet on dam's side. By far and away the majority of successful "Polish" horses in our sport have CMK dam lines. I already sent Steph the link to the pedigree breakdown of Tevis and Haggin winners. By and large the horses in Poland today are bred for the European halter market, not for any athletic endeavor. If I were to shop for Polish horses with athletic ability, I would stick to American Polish breeding, and would look for pedigrees heavy on pre-World War II breeding. The older Polish horses were outstanding athletes, and were bred to be riding horses. Many of the best ones ended up here. And after WWII the politics of the breeding programs there changed radically, aiming toward an entirely different sort of horse.
