I think Patton saw that the Lipizzaners were not taken to America, but I am not 100% sure.<BR/><BR/>If you are interested in horses: <A HREF="http://editrixblog.blogspot.com/2006/07/orderly-champers-swine-is-dead.html" REL="nofollow">This entry</A> in my blog, another memorial, is about equestrian matters as well.<BR/><BR/>Interesting that you should say that about the "old type". Nothing beats a really good Polish Arab of the "old type". More than twenty years ago I was heavily involved in the "scene" here in Germany. That was when they imported all that "Asil" crap from the Middle East and made a bomb out of it. Of course, Polish Arabs are not "pure". Thank God they aren't. Horses are not polar bears or giraffes, they are bred not for some pseudo-spiritual "pureness", but for performance and looks. Even then, decades before I became aware of the snares of the oriental culture, I thought what mugs those Germans are, getting their oh-so-pure horses from the Middle East, believing in Arab "honour" to sell them their best (and "pure") horses. All dished-in heads, bulging eyes, flaring nostrils, nonexisting croups, spindly legs, neck stuck in the wrong way, and tail up in the air. Have you ever RIDDEN such an animal? And one of the Polish type for comparison? Un-effing-believable!<BR/><BR/>Sorry for rambling!The_Editrixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07529769143608862966noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19209018.post-32913845768780993922009-02-14T19:45:00.000+00:002009-02-14T19:45:00.000+00:00Were the two Arab stallions among those rescued by...Were the two Arab stallions among those rescued by Col. Reed (WP) on the orders of Gen. Patton (WP)?...<BR/><BR/>Later that day Col. Reed and the German general in charge of the intelligence unit had breakfast together. The two men found that they had a mutual interest in horses. The general showed Reed some beautiful photographs of Lipizzaners and Arabs that had recently been taken at the German Remount Depot at Hostau, Czechoslovakia.<BR/><BR/>BTW-thank you for the head's up-beautiful Arabians definitely of the 'old type'...christian soldierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04781627688988991192noreply@blogger.com
