I'm not showing any favoritism here. Yes,
Americans stole them from the Germans who stole them from the Poles. I can't
help but wonder if the Russians didn't help themselves to not only the Polish
horses the Germans stole, but also some Polish horses from the Poles themselves.
I don't know the details here, but I don't think the Russians were suppose to be
at war with the Poles, they just took over Poland after the war. As I am
learning from the late news, the Pope had a lot to do with liberating the Poles
from the grip of Communism, which originated with the Russians. Confusing, yes.
Inaccurate, maybe. Anyway, some of the Polish horses were/are great, and
some of the Russian horses are great. A good horse is a good horse, no
matter where it came from.
I
kinda liked how the Russians stole them and we (Americans) rescued them. Ed do
you think nutrition is also a factor?

[RC] your take on aladinn
pretty good, barbara! stolen, "requisitioned",
maybe, then "imported"! maybe that was the origin of
that saying, "ride 'em like you stole 'em!
my take on "bloodlines", yes, there are some "great ones"
that produce some "great ones", but then there are some rather obscure ones
that produce "great ones", too. then there are some very
nondescript horses that turn out to be "great ones" too. so much
of it is the horse's individual ability, the amount and type of
conditioning, the rider's ability and desire to attain certain goals
with that particular horse. no "magic" genetic formulas
for guaranteed success in this sport. cowboy
