I don't know if Belesemo helped to market Ohadi Las Tradd, but he was not 
bred there (although he is related to some of their stock).  He was bred by 
Curtis Cox of Ohadi Arabians, and was purchased as a yearling at the Ohadi 
dispersal sale by endurance rider Carolyn Roberts, who put a good foundation 
on him and rode him very successfully until she suffered a serious knee 
injury.  He was then put on the market and Valarie purchased him--perhaps 
Belesemo was an agent to that sale (I don't know, but they do offer that 
service), but they neither bred nor campaigned this horse.  Just thought that 
credit should go to where it is due--which is to the late Curtis Cox as 
breeder and to Carolyn Roberts who brought this horse along.  Curtis had a 
very sound CMK breeding program that utilized a lot of Las Trad and Aurab 
breeding, and many of us who saw this horse as a yearling at the sale were 
happy to see him purchased by Carolyn, where he would have a chance to 
recognize his potential.  Seems he is doing that, and I wish Val the best 
with him.
