Re: RC: Bloodlines

[Farafix@aol.com]

Hi Sandy,

When I bought Kadance+/ 10 yrs ago I had just gotten started in CTR's with 
Farafix who was in his late teens.  I didn't know anything about endurance 
bloodlines (& didn't even dream of doing endurance back then, anyway!), so I 
was looking for a well conformed horse with a big trot.  As it so happened, 
Kadance is a *Witez great granddaughter, her paternal grandsire is Spanish, 
she has lines on her paternal tail female line that are 3/4's the same as 
Ferzon, and she also has Fadjur on her paternal tail female line.  
When I bred her a few yrs later, I did a lot of looking at stallions, and 
decided on a *Serafix/*Caliope grandson (*Caliope is Polish and a full sister 
to Celebes, by Ofir, also *Witez's sire).  Farafix is also a 
*Serafix/*Caliope grandson, so the decision was somewhat sentimental, but I 
knew that line had produced a lot of performance horses in cutting, jumping, 
& other disciplines, and Fix was a sweet horse with good conformation.  
Anyway, Tempo is now 6 and has top 10'd 3 of the 4 50 milers we've done this 
yr (12th on the 4th), so it was a nice cross with Kadance's Spanish, Crabbet, 
Polish lines.
I've had a lot of begginer's luck with my horses, but I did spend my time 
looking for a well conformed horse with a sane temperament.

Let us know what you discover in your research!
