Thanks Lynda!!! I don't know Deidre Robinson - so anyone know her or any more about the mare??
The mare I'm going to look at tomorrow is reg 56% American Saddlebred, rest being mainly Arab with a touch of TB from what I can gather. I would love to find out more of the Arab side of her!
I've checked in an old AHS show catalogue, and Venture was owned by Deidre Robinson and her offspring carried the Fleetmead prefix. I'm not sure as to whether I can put Telephone numbers on the site - I'll try to email you privately. Let me know if it works.
Many thanks Lynda I will let you know if it gets to me! Went to see the mare & liked her very much & she will be coming to live with us if she passes the vetting. Shes not very araby to look at - but certainly Saddlebred!
