- Summary:
- In 1967, Scottsdales longtime Arabian horse breeder Ed Tweed embarked on a mission to race the horses he bred. He imported a chestnut stallion from Poland named Orzel, or "Eagle" in English, that flew past competitors to become the first U.S. National Racing Champion. Among other wins in halter and performance, Orzel was the victor in the debut of the U.S. National Championship Ladies Sidesaddle category, partnered with Tweeds granddaughter Shelley Groom Trevor. Thousands of fans visited the legendary performer in retirement at Brusally Ranch. Decades after Orzels death, horses he sired continue his winning legacy. Author Tobi Lopez Taylor chronicles this triumphant story.
