If no asks to scan it, I'll do it myself though I scan much less than I validate. Once I submit I can mail you the copy of the book I used in case you need it to help you validate. I have read braille since first grade and it's my preferred way of reading. On computer I listen to jaws. I do have some diminishing low vision which has gone from 20 200 in one eye and no light perception in the other to finger count in the good eye. With perfect light and patience, I can piece print words together at a distance of no more than an inch, but it is so taxing, really exhausting and headache making. It mashes my nose, too!!!I'm telling you this because I do scan carefully and proofread then run spell check before submitting, but the foreign words will be hard for me to check. If I turn out to be the submmittor, would you mind noticing the foreign words for me? Scanners really get tripped up on accented words turning them into all kinds of other letters, numbers and junk characters. Like you, I adore animals. When you had that entertaining discussion on list about animals, when listers asked you to describe them and you told us some stories about your experiences with them, I enjoyed reading the conversation very much. Thanks so much for your interest. Interest and willingness with such a great book is so valuable. I'll make sure you have a scan of it to validate.

I've read it, and this book tells the story of how different underground resistance movements spirited away the Polish government's most valuable bloodlines of horses, including Witez II, during World War II, to preserve what Poles felt was an irreplaceable part of Poland's national heritage. These horses were considered a national treasure. The Axis countries actually fought amongst themselves as to who would get the different horses after Poland was defeated. It's a fascinating story, not just about the horse who is one of the most influential Arabian horse sires in American lines of Arabian horses, but also about the people who were committed to saving these animals. Judy s. 22. And Miles to go, the biography of a great Arabian Horse, Witez Iiby Linel Smith, hardcover, 230 pages, contains many foreign words with a pronunciation guide at the end which might discourage some of you, I just wanted to give you as much info as I can about the book. This horse suffered hardships during WWII and then came to the United States and founded a dynasty. Well researched.
