RE: [SPAM] [RC] Arabian Bloodlines - heidiJust a few corrections....
The Crabbet horses were primarily bred from the Blunt imports from
Egypt. Skowronek was an outcross brought in by Lady
Wentworth. To her dying day, she maintained a non-Skowronek
breeding nucleus, despite her fondness for Skowronek.
Remington Steele did not ever win Tevis. He has a career total
of 605 miles (you have to combine his "no ID" record with his regular
record). He was ridden only sporadically--he has completions
in 1989, 1996, 2000, and 2003. He has completed Tevis once and has
been pulled from Tevis on two other occasions for metabolic
issues. His last completion was in 2003. You are correct
that he is a rare horse in that he has the level of halter wins that he
has and still has endurance completions. However his
endurance record would not tend to make one want to run out and
breed to halter horses. He has a mixed pedigree and has produced
some endurance horses more capable than himself--as Frank said, look at
the mares. I had the privilege of vetting a very nice son of his
at the IAHA Region 3 CTR Championship several years ago.
