Pedigree Query

There was a picture of the Arabian filly Rossletta that I've never seen before. Thank you for that! Rossletta was a full sister to a stallion who made a huge mark upon the Arabian breed. Due to her odd color, the registry pulled her papers so she was never able to produce a registerable purebred foa...

I was horse crazy before I ever saw a race--C.W. Anderson's books helped to fuel it and many other authors as well. A few things hooked me on racing. A horse owned by someone here in Washington State, Terlago, was all over the papers prior to running in the Derby. I think that Derby was actually won...

There was mention of the filly Smart Sugar in one of the Blood Horse blogs a few weeks ago. Her female line is the same as produced Alydar, Our Mims, etc., so I'm watching for news of what she does.

I was checking out the transcript from the Blood Horse 'Talkin' Horses' session with Mahubah. She mentioned thoughts of a biography on E.R. Bradley....... Please do it!! There is a book on the Kentucky Derby that I all but lived on for YEARS and the chapter on 'Bradley's Busy B's' was one of the best.

I know that when General Patton liberated the fabled Lippizan horses, many other breeds were at that farm as well. Certainly a group of Arabian horses were brought to the US and stationed at the US Calvary Remount Depot. Thoroughbreds were also prized for remount purposes and it wouldn't surprise me...
