How does everyone feel about starting to leave info about the horses in the comment area, example:
*RAFFLES AHR*952 White 1926 (Skowronek x *Rifala). Bred by Lady Wentworth, Crabbet Park. Imported by Roger Selby 1928. In 1933 *Raffles was named National Three-Gaited Champion at the National Arabian Show in Nashville, Tennessee. *Raffles was considered sterile but after the managers of Selby Stud, Jimmy and Thelma Dean built *Raffles up, he sired at age 11, foals from two pony mares. And the rest is history, for *Raffles clearly dominated the Eastern part of the US while his brother *Raseyn reigned in the west. After Lady Wentworth found out *Raffles could sire foals, she tried to get him back but Selby's refused. *Raffles sired 61 sons and 62 daughters, and they tremendously influenced the breeding direction of the Arabian horse. In 1949, at age 23, *Raffles broke his hind leg. Jimmy and Thelma took very good care of the little horse, and it is to their credit that *Raffles survived. A few years later, at one of Roger Selby's dispersal sales, *Raffles was purchased by Alice Payne of Whittier, California. There, *Raffles founded a very strong inbred herd. He died May 11, 1953 at the age of 27.
