Re: [RC] "Perfect" horse for heavyweight rider? - Renie
Here I am, a featherweight, with a big Pure Polish
gelding carrrying Old Polish and *El Paso lines. He is 15 hands, has
a rump like a quarterhorse. He is not particulary HOT, can even be lazy at
times, and takes very good care of himself. I did all the training on him
myself, he can do a reining pattern as well as dressage. He most
certainly could carry a heavyweight. His sire (for sale) has a huge
shoulder and big, strong rump, lots of bone. His breeding goes back to
*WitezII, *Czubuthan, *Mellon and Kasmir. I have been aroung Polish
horses all my life and found them to have a wonderful work ethic and I like the
more stocky build of the older lines. I did know what one that was a
bit of a stinker, the stallion that Jim Jones gave Kerry Ridgeway,
"Toltec". He was by Weirtez out of a fine old mare named Tangyya (bred by
Travlers Rest) who was *Czubuthan X *Ba-Ida. Those were a couple of horses
that Wendel Robie thought a lot of! I don't know why Toltec was such
a handful; he sure was beautiful though.
