Luke:

A month or so ago I gave my story on a super anglo-arab mare I had...she did
extreemly well...was a natural at 100's. I had leased her to breed, but she
was onyl 12 and had been ridden tons (pony club, foxhunt, hunter/jumper,
dresage, etc) so I considered to have a decent base...I decided to ride her
and she was wonderful!!! I bred her in the spring of 1993 (may) and
continued to ride her..she top tenned her first two 100's including the
OD..and sereval 50's. I had her checked in Sept. the vet said she wasn't
pregnant..disappointment, so I kept on riding her...3-day 150 (2nd place),
another coupld of 100's..had an easy winter and used her to mark trail (75
miles) on my ride..had someone else ride her on my ride (2-day 100 early
April). 4 days after the ride she bagged up and two weeks later dropped a
foal. The colt had 650 miles in utero!!! When the colt as 30 days old I
started riding the mare again..she continued to excell. Unfortuantely, my
lease was up that fall, but the colt (Warlord) is now 2 1/2 years old and
looking like he'll be another champion.

These horses are AMAZING!!!
