*Witez II’s name means “chieftain, knight, hero, prince” in old Polish. He was all of these things- a hero because he survived World War II, a prince because of his superb ancestry, and a chieftain because of the tribe of excellent horses he sired in his years at stud, making his descendants sought after for their beauty and athleticism.

*Witez II was born in troubled times. Foaled in 1938, when Europe was becoming unstable due to the Nazi threat, he was sired by the great progenitor Ofir, also sire of Polish chief sires Witraz (sire of U.S. National Champion Stallion *Bask++) and Wielki Szlem (a 3//4 brother to *Witez II and sire of U.S. National Champion Park *El Mudir). Ofir also sired Mammona, who founded a dynasty in Russia including U.S. National Champion Stallions *Muscat and *Marsianin, both of whom are her grandsons. *Witez II’s dam Federacja is a maternal sister to Miecznik, sire of Aquinor (sire of U.S. National Champion Stallion *Elkin++ and U.S. National Champion Mare *Elkana++). Miecznik also sired Lafirynda, ( the maternal granddam of U.S. National Champion Stallion *Aladdinn) and Doktryner (sire of U.S. National Champion English Pleasure *Muzulmanin++).

*Witez II’s happy life as a yearling in pasture changed with the German invasion of Poland in September 1939. The managers of the Janow Podlawski Stud tried to hide the herd throughout the countryside. *Witez II was covered with mud to disguise his beauty, but unfortunately his brand (ironically in the shape of a royal crown) revealed him to the German soldiers hunting for the Janow horses. He was returned to the stud which was then controlled by the occupying army, and in 1943 was shipped to a special stud in Hostau (on the German-Czechoslovakian border) to be used at stud with the goal of producing elite superhorses for the elite German “super” race. By the spring of 1945 it was obvious that Germany was losing the war, and the horsemen who ran the stud feared that the advancing Russian army might use the horses there for food. They begged an American colonel nearby to free the horses at the farm, knowing the Americans would allow the horses to live. When the rescue operation began, thanks to General George S Patton, more than 200 horses of various breeds were taken across the border into Bavaria’s Monsbach Stud. They were later sent to America for use in the U.S. Army’s remount breeding program.

*Witez II arrived in the United States late in 1945, and was shipped in early 1946 to the Army’s Remount Depot at the former Kellogg Ranch in California. There, he was seen at a special presentation by Earle Hurlbutt, the first president of the International Arabian Horse Association. Hurlbutt was told *Witez II was not for sale, so he bred two mares to him instead. By 1948, the Army Remount had been disbanded and the horses owned by it transferred to the U.S. Department of Agriculture and the decision was made to sell off all the horses as there would be no need for them in the era of mechanization. Many former Remount horses were shipped to Fort Reno in Oklahoma. When Earle Hurlbutt heard that Fort Reno was to be closed and its horses auctioned off, he went there to try to buy *Witez II, which he did, for the substantial price of $8,100.

Hurlbutt did not plan to show *Witez II, who was then 13 years old, but was persuaded to do so, with excellent results-he was undefeated and his final title was 1953 Pacific Coast Champion Stallion at age 15. Significantly, three of his sons were at that show with him-Zitez, who was named Pacific Coast Reserve Champion Stallion, Nitez, who was reserve champion stallion at the show preceding the regional competition, and Natez, who won the two year old colt class (he would go on to be twice Pacific Slope Champion Stallion and a U.S. Top Ten Stallion).

*Witez I went on to sire 223 registered purebred get. Of these, 16 became National winners. 18 of his sons sired a total of 41 National winners and 16 of his daughters produced a total of 19 National winners. Among his best known sons are Witezar++, named 1965 AHSA Horse of the Year over all breeds, as well as a Canadian Reserve National Champion Stallion and U.S. Top Ten Stallion. Witezar++ sired Witezarif, a remarkable gelding who won the Tevis Cup endurance ride four times, and AHSA Horse of the Year Burrtez++.

One of *Witez II’s best nicks was with daughters and granddaughters of *Raseyn. His son Ofir (named for *Witez II’s sire) set records for 2 ½ mile races. Another son, Yatez, was a U.S. Top Ten Stallion and sired 10 National winners, including U.S. National Champion English Pleasure Elna. *Witez II’s best nick was with the *Raseyn daughter Nafa and her daughter Nafalla. With Nafa he sired Canadian Reserve National Champion Stallion Black Magic and halter champion Nitez, founder of a highly successful sire line. With Nafalla *Witez II sired four National winners, including Natez (sire of U.S. National Champion Mare Indian Genii) and U.S. Reserve National Champion Stallion Bolero++ (sire of U.S. National Champion Stallion Zarabo++ and multi-National Champion in cutting Xenophonn, arguably the breed’s best sire of working western horses).

*Witez II’s most famous daughter was the history-making Ronteza, who with a young Sheila Varian aboard became the first Arabian and the first female rider to win the Cow Palace’s reined cow horse championship against all breeds. Ronteza was out of a *Raseyn granddaughter and produced multi-National Champion Stock Horse Bay Event and U.S. Top Ten Western Pleasure Bay-Teza++ (dam of U.S.and Canadian National Champion Reining SC Buckaroo Bay+/).

*Witez II lived out his life in the Hurlbutts’ ownership (he was leased to IAHA President Burr Betts in Colorado from 1960-1964). Along the way he had his own fan club, was the model for the Breyer Proud Arabian Stallion model, had a book, And Miles To Go, written about him, and was used as an example of the ideal Arabian by Marguerite Henry in her book All About Horses. Many of the stars of the show ring trace to *Witez II, including U.S. National Champion English Pleasure Bint Miss Fire+, U.S. National Champion Mare Bask Calonett (who is linebred to *Witez II), World Champion Stallion Kaborr+++, U.S. National Champion Stallions First Cyte+,(who has multiple lines to *Witez II), Echo Magnifficoo and Fame VF+, and five times National Champion DA Valentino, who has two lines to *Witez II.

*Witez II died on June 9, 1965 at the age of 27.

By Arlene Magid

Kontiki was bred by Dr Lloyd or Doris Rosenvold and was owned during his racing career by Christopher or Valeene Hampton-Wilcox, and subsequently by Mr and Mrs Stanley Kubela, for whom he sired the bulk of his registered foals. He was born in 1962 and tragically died at age 10 in 1972 of colic. His remarkable race record is 3/9 (8-1-0)+6. He was also named 1972 Scottsdale Reserve Champion Stallion shortly before his death, proving that beauty and racing talent are not mutually exclusive!

Kontiki was a racing legend and the most significant sire in the foundation racing pedigrees in America. He established an unmatched dynasty in foundation American racing bloodlines. Beaten only once (by the Polish import *Orzel++), Kontiki was such an exceptional racehorse that he was honored by the Thoroughbred Jockey Club as the 59th entry in the prestigious ist of “100 All Time Greatest Racehorse of the World-Regardless of Breed"” along with Man O-War, Native Dancer, Kelso, Secretariat and John Henry. He was also named U.S. National Champion Racehorse and a member of the Arabian Horse Trust Hall of Fame.

Kontiki’s sire, 1967 U.S. Top Ten Western Pleasure winner Camelot++, also sired Hamlet, whose race record is 2/15(4-2-4). Camelot was by National winner sire Seneyn (who was linebred to the Skowronek son *Raseyn) and out of Shamara, a daughter of National Champion sire Ankar and a maternal sister to National winner producers Buna and Panaya. Kontiki’s dam Almiki also produced Waikiki,and Bar Miki, both producers of race and show winners. Waikiki’s daughter Ki Hattie+/ is a multi-National Champion in trail and dressage. Bar Miki’s daughter Smooth As Silk is a National winner in cutting and has produced a National Champion in cutting. Almiki was by Abu Farwa, sire of 3 National winners in performance and 33 producers of National winners. Thus Kontiki’s athleticism was no accident-it was bred into him for many generations.

Kontiki sired just 23 registered purebred get, all but two of them foaled in 1972 and 1973. Sixteen of these were daughters. Five were race winners. Fourteen have produced race winners-a remarkable percentage of 87% of his daughters produced race winners. Ten of his daughters produced stakes winners.

Daughter Tikis Lilly Ku is a race winner and the dam of stakes winner Soaring Tiki Tu and race winners Soaring Sokol and R Angel Jackie.

By Golly+/ is the sire of Oh By Gosh(who is double Kontiki), a stakes winner in US including Armand Hammer Classic, also named 1992 Darley Older Horse of the Year and arace winner in the UK and UAE. By Golly also produced the double Kontiki stakes winner Top Flyte, 1992 Darley 4 Year Old Colt of the Year. Molly-R is also the dam of race winner Bint Molly R and of 2006 U.S. Reserve National Champion Second Level Dressage Riddle Me This.

Daughter Jikis Ellice 4/14(5-3-3) is the dam of Elite Star Ku, a stakes winner in both the US and the UK (double Kontiki), and of stakes winners Tikis Diablo and Tiki Tork Ku( both double Kontiki), of stakes winner Tikis Samantha, and of El Tiki 6/66 (13-12-11)a track record holder at 1 1/6 miles.

In spite of his early death, Kontiki’s influence on Arabian racing was profound and has stood the test of time. Bravo to Kontiki, the American-bred hero!]]> Sun, 02 Dec 2007 06:37:28 -0500 http://www.arabianbreeders.net/Forums/Kontiki-the-Great-t6484.html http://www.arabianbreeders.net/Forums/A-HISTORY-OF-SPANISH-ARABIANS-IN-AMERICA-t4505.html
by Arlene Magid

The history of the Arabian horse in Spain is one much affected by war and revolution in
the first half of this century. The Spanish Civil War of the 1930s resulted in lost records and deaths of horses, but the lovers of the Arabian were determined that they survive, and Spanish Arabians are now key elements in many worldwide breeding programs.

The Stud Book Espanol was first compiled by the Horse Breeding Department of the
Spanish Army in 1847, and continues to this day. Multiple breeds are registered, including
Thoroughbreds, Andalusians, and Anglo-Arabs. The Arabian section of the first volume records36 stallions and 12 desertbred mares, the latter imported in the name of Queen Isabella II but fewpurebreds were bred from them and none of their lines have survived. Other imported stallions(mostly from France) were registered in succeeding volumes but none were used for purebred breeding. Finally, in Volume XI of the stud book the imports from the desert and from Poland made on behalf of the Yeguada Militar(the Spanish military) were recorded, and the breeding of purebred Arabians was more established. The horses of the 1905 and 1906 importations are the ancestors of present day Spanish Arabians. Subsequent importations were made from Egypt, France, and Britain (the well known Crabbet stallion Rijm went to Spain but did not breed on significantly) and an importation of seven stallion and 13 mares from the desert came in 1927. Many of the mares of this group and all the stallion save Bagdad (who died in the Civil War) were disposed of when Spain became a republic in 1931. Private breeding was begun in Spain in1910 at the stud of the Marques de Casa Domecq but the first private importations with influence on modern stock were those of the Guerrero brothers in 1923 (mostly French horses, though the Egyptian stallion Sawah The Second is still found in pedigrees today).

Early Spanish purebred breeding thus had two elements: the military and the private
studs. The most significant sire lines that have continued up to the present day are those of the Polish Ursus (who came from the Bialocerkiew Stud in 1912 as a four year old) and the desertbred Seanderich (who arrived in Spain as a six year old in 1908). One of the most important private breeders before the Civil War was Cristobal Colon, the Duke of Veragua (and a direct descendant of Christopher Columbus). He began breeding purebred Arabians in 1926, and added the blood of Crabbet horses to the Spanish gene pool with his importation of 12 mares and two stallions from that stud. The group included the Skowronek daughter Jalila (whose daughters *Rasmina and *Rose of France were imported to America from England) and Reyna (a full sister to *Rifala, the dam of *Raffles). Jalila's son Nana Sahib (by Razada, also imported from England) figures prominently in many Spanish pedigrees. The Duke also acquired all the mares
of the Marques de Domecq.

Just before the Civil War, breeding in Spain by private breeders and the Yeguda Militair
was flourishing, with 900 foals registered in just two years 1932-1934. Also, the first Spanish Arabians were exported to America. These were bred by the Marques de Domecq and imported by James and Edna Draper in 1934, and included the mares *Meca (Ursus x Siria), *Menfis (Egipto x Siria), *Nakkla (Fondak x *Menfis), and *Barakat (Fondak x *Meca), as well as the stallion *Ras El Ayn (Axdir x *Meca). They proved highly influential in American breeding(four U.S. National Champion Mares trace in tail female to *Meca alone!) but left no straightSpanish descendants as *Ras El Ayn was not bred to the mares. A relative of theirs, Beni Amer (Fondak x Siria), did breed on well in Spain, and she is the dam of the good broodmare sire Fabuloso. Later American imports who descend from her include her granddaughter *Palabrita (brought to the U.S. in 1965), *Abha Jafif (imported to America in 1978), and *Rabadilla (imported to America in 1965). *Abha Jafif is the dam of National winner sire *Abha Nadir and *Rabadilla is the granddam of multi-national champion english pleasure WN Astra.

The Spanish Civil War officially lasted three years, (1936-1939), although the effects of it continued into the 1940s as Franco's army wiped out the final insurgent cells of leftists. Because of it, publication of the firdt printed Spanish Stud Book was delayed until 1943, at which time only 606 Arabians
were registered. At least 700 Spanish Arabians died during the war, and the very important Veragua Stud was burned to the ground, and all breeding records were lost. Fortunately some of the mares and foals were moved to safety, but once the foals were weaned there was no way to fully identify them. Consequently, dam lines in many Spanish pedigrees end with the "Veragua mares"--a group of mares most of whose names begin with "Ver" and who are considered purebred but without specific pedigree records. For example, the noted Spanish sires Jacio and Galero trace to the Veragua mare Veracruz, born in 1934 but whose pedigree record was lost. All of these Veragua mares most likely have Crabbet lines due to the Duke's large importation from that stud, and many have lines to Skowronek who was used heavily in the Duke's breeding program.

The next group of Spanish Arabians to come to America were the Steen imports, brought
in in two groups in 1965, but not registered until 1966. Charlie Steen had discovered uraniumdeposits in America, and the resulting wealth caused him to develop an Arabian ranch in Nevada. His imports comprised 24 mares and two colts, and sparked further interest in Spanish horses from American breeders. Most notable among the mares were *Agata III (dam of Canadian Reserve National Champion Stallion Talagato), and the National winner producers *Oromana, *Sabiduria and *Salina (all of whom were owned by entertainer Wayne Newton late in their lives). Both of the stallions of the importation, *Zurhama de Washoe and *Barich De Washoe, sired National winners. *Barich De Washoe was for many years one of the most important Spanish sires, with 28 National winners to his credit. His best cross was with linebred *Raffles mares, and his prepotency was probably the result of being a double grandson of Malvito (himself a descendant in sire line from the Polish import Ursus). Another importation in 1965 was that of John Rogers (famed as owner of the great Crabbet stallion *Serafix), and both of the mares, *Dinorah III and *Yamina, produced National winners by *Serafix.

Until the Steen group was resold, there was little publicity for Spanish imports until the
World Arabian Horse Conference was held in Spain in 1972. There Jay Stream, president of W.A.H.O, saw the gorgeous stallion *AN Malik, who was named Spanish National Champion as a yearling. He imported him after the conference, and thus began the renaissance of Spanish breeding in America. *AN Malik, a son of Galero, became the all time leading Spanish sire of champions. Stream owned a number of Egyptian related mares as well as mares of American breeding, and he was a superb nick with them, as well as with the surviving Steen mares (several of which were then owned by Wayne Newton). Other notable Stream imports from Spain included *El Moraduke (a U.S. Top Ten Stallion and sire of U.S. National Champion Mare La Duquesa), *Osaka (a Canadian Top Ten English Pleasure winner and sire of multi-National Champion Dressage Windfal), and *GG Samir (sire of 24 National winners). The Streamsalso imported the lovely mare *Abha Hamir++/ on lease from her breeder Marieta Salas, and she became a U.S. National Champion Mare and U.S. National Champion Pleasure Driving winner.

Another significant importer and breeder of Spanish and Spanish related Arabians was
Bru Mar Ba Arabians of California. In addition to their ownership of *Barich De Washoe for
much of his stud career, they imported *Vallehermoso, *Nilo, and *Aribid++--all sires of
national champions in performance. They also imported Canadian National Champion Western Pleasure AOTR *Uranio+/ and *Zlabiya, whose daughter Bint Zlabiya (by *Barich De Washoe) produced the national halter winners Shaia+ and Brumarba Sunshain, both by the Egyptian import *Simeon Shai. Another significant importer of Spanish Arabians was SZED Spanish Arabians, importers of the national winner sires *Szed Jador and *SZ Gual Ermes. SZED maintained farms in both Spain and America, as have the Stanleys of Stanley Ranch in Nevada. The Stanleys have been very active in promoting the Spanish Arabian in the show ring, as well as to owners of other breeds (they field hunt on their horses). Notable Stanley Ranch imports include the stallion *Diamante(sire of two national champions) and mares including the National winners *Iberia, *Bouganvillea, *Galaxia, *Jezabel(by *Diamante), *Joyamia(by *Diamante), and *Discoteca, all National winners in hunter/jumper or hunt pleasure competition..

Spanish Arabians today flourish in select breeding programs worldwide. Because of their
concentrated gene pool, they have been particularly valuable as outcrosses. The blend of Spanish and Egyptian lines has been especially popular, with one of its most famous representatives the highly successful show horse (with national wins on three continents) *El Shaklan, also a sire noted worldwide for the beauty and presence of his get (1997 U.S. National Champion Stallion Fairview Klassique is a grandson of *El Shaklan). Spanish horses are appreciated for their calm temperaments, intelligence, trainability, correct conformation, huge eyes, and athletic ability. In recent years many pure Spanish horses have won on the national level in the hunter/jumper division and in hunt pleasure, as well as in western pleasure. Spanish related horses have done very well also, with such winners as Magnum Psyche, the only horse to be twice named U.S. National Champion Stallion,(whose dam is straight Spanish) and 1998 U.S. and Canadian National Champion Western Pleasure C A Hermoso, who won his titles in his first year of showing under saddle, and who is also a U.S. Top Ten Stallion and Stallion AOTH.

Below is a list of all Spanish and Spanish-related (50 percent Spanish or more by pedigree, through either sire or dam) national champions from 1974 (the first year a Spanish Arabian won a national championship in North America) to 2006.
