Re: [RC] Arabian Definition - neariverI know who Witez II is as well.Unfortunately Pattons Lippazaners got all the press and the Disney movie(before my time).But we can thank Patton for also saving Witez II,Pilot and several other Arabian horses from the Nazis during WWII. We have a broodmare,her filly,and her gelding that have that lineage along with Crabbet-Make VERY nice athletic horses who do have muscle and BIG (gasp) butts! Looking forward to them making excellent endurance horses. -Nancy ---- Renie M burnett <renieburnett@xxxxxxxx> wrote: Right on, Karen, The show ring horses couldn't move their way out of a paper bag!!! My Arabs have big muscles on their legs, butts and shoulders. Mostly Polish. Watched a video of a very famous halter stallion, it looked like his hind legs were so behind him, I thought of a caboose. There ARE good, athletic Arabs out there, but if you go to a show, look at the working western horses and reiners. They don't look anything at all like the halter horses. Also, I KNOW who WitezII was; got to see several of his progeny, sons and daughters. I can't believe he is not remembered by anyone that has any knowledge whatsoever of Polish horses. renie On Thu, 17 Aug 2006 13:01:42 -0500 "Karen E.

This may all be rhetorical questioning. There may be no answer. I like the way endurance is influencing the sport breeds people are looking for horses with the kind of conformation that can withstand the rigors of this sport, and some of you are even breeding for it. I commend you on that. Karen E. Franklin Tulsa, OK =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
