An older been there done that kind of stallion, or another broodmare who has double digit WitezII percentages. I don't have a lot of cash, but would offer a good home to a horse who needs semi retirement...
Here' s some info about who WitezII was...http://excaliburmorabs.tripod.com/witez_II.html
Long story short, WitezII was a famous Polish Arabian horse rescued by Gen. George Patton in 1945 and brought back to America. He was used for years in the Army's remount program as a stud. They was bought by the Hurlbutt family, where WitezII went on to a glorious career ... There have been books and movies made about him... "And Miles to Go," was one...
It's getting harder to find this bloodline. I'd like to help preserve it. As one of my friends said, it is from the era when the Polish Arabians were good riding horses. The newer generations of Polish breeding is mostly for show.. pretty faces, but not a lot of substance...
WitezII was born in 1939. Here's a picture of him from 1965 when he was an old man
Brumtique looks a lot like his ancestor
