Marionetka was bred by the Pattersons and is currently owned by Billie Glosser of Love N War Arabians in Denton, TX. She was sired by the *Bask son Soverign and is out of the *Dar daughter Maritza, she being out of the *Bask daughter Mesalia. Wonderful pedigree and a really quality mare. She has 3 registered foals, 2 by Andrzejevo and 1 by MS Firedevil. Billie's website is http://www.lovenwararabians.com/index.htm and I'm sure you could contact her for some pictures of the old gal. I will make the comment that it's an obscenity that a mare with that breeding and quality was ever bred for a partbred.

HUH? so only crap Arabs should be making half arabs? if they don't cut it as a arab they can be used to make half arabs? Don't make sense to me, any horse you breed should be nice.  not all of us are 100 pounds and look good on a 14.3 hand little fancy thing but we still love the blood and endrance Arab brings to the table...  


No, I don't think crap should be bred for partbreds. Or anything else. My point (which I believe you are deliberately missing) is that THIS mare is exceptional and as such SHOULD have been used in a purebred program. I've seen her. She's outstanding. She's also older and likely came very close to being lost to the purebred gene pool. That would have been a real loss. Hi Billie. To borrow from Tom Neese, "Welcome to the 'hood."
