Re: [RC] Bask for endurance - Chris PausNOPE. Sorry. Bask did not descend from WitezII. Bask was a son of WITRAZ who was a brother to WitezII. A lot of people make that mistake and confuse Witraz and Witez. Same sire, Ofir, different dams. Bask was owned by Gene LaCroix (ahem....) The third son of Ofir was Wielki Szlem. If you are into Polish Arabs, having the 3 W's in one pedigree is a big deal. chris --- Mary Ann Spencer <maryann.spencer@xxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: Rode a Bask grandaugher for 10 yrs. Were not able to do as much endurance as wanted but nothing to do with the horse. She did a 50 miler at age 15. BTW, she did all of this 'barefoot' including riding in NC and doing a 25 miler at Biltmore where they frowned at us for being barefoot. At age 18 she is now being ridden by a young teenager who bought her 3 yrs ago. I had to sell her due to a broken leg and shoulder, not from her. I am now starting her daughter who was imprinted and played with from the get-go. I can saddle that filly without her being tied up. Bask was the line most wanted 20 yrs ago and I see no reason for not wanting it now. Do a search and you will see that Bask lines have done well in show and performance...in my opinion, one of the few lines to do both. You may be overwhelmed with replies to this. Bask lines stem from the WitezII lines. There is a book about WitezII: AND MILES TO GO. Check the papers of the parents if you can. Why wasn\t he already registered? Registration now will be a bit pricey but might be worth it, depending on what you plan to do, ie sign up for the Arabian specials which to me are still expensive for what you get in return but I have not fully checked all that out since being out of country for over a yr. HOWEVER, not all horses out of 'good' lines are good and suitable for performance, etc. Most people get a vet evaluation. Always good to have another horse friend to look who is not emotionally involved with the purchase. Good luck and happy trails.
