🐎 Biography
Winraff++ (AHR #67280), a striking 15 hh bay Arabian stallion foaled in 1970, established himself as a historical cornerstone of the Crabbet and *Raffles performance lines. With a genetic makeup of 78.125% Crabbet blood, he was bred for the soundness and athleticism that would define his versatile career, which spanned success in halter, competitive English disciplines, and the elite level of dressage.
Beyond the ribbons, Winraff's greatest athletic achievement was in the demanding English sport discipline of dressage. Trained and ridden by Gina Manion, he reached the highest levels of the sport performing at Grand Prix level. Additionally, he was her favorite trail horse.
from Jim Rooker, JR Arabians, 'Rookers Revisions' PDF from ECAHS:
Dr. Munson suggested to Gina Manion in 1974, that she send Winraff++ (Orbit x Shalimar Wingida by Garaff) to us. Winraff++ was an agreeable horse and Jim enjoyed showing him. He finished his Legion of Merit in nine shows and was our 15th horse to receive the honor. Gina came to the Tri-City Show at Midland, Michigan to show Winraff++ in one class and was the Amateur Owner To-Ride Champion. Gina and Pat came to Winraff++'s 1975 Legion of Merit party. (She wore a beautiful lemon satin dress.)"
And from the (offline) JR Arabians website, also from Jim Rooker:
One of the friendships we made through the *Raffles horses was Gina Manion. She leased us Winraff by Orbit x Shalimar Wingida (Garaff), who was by an Alice Payne stallion out of a Bill Munson mare. Winraff was a big bay, and we finished his Legion of Merit for Gina in eight shows. He was Champion Stallion at Mason, Michigan, and beat *Asadd who was National Champion that year. The most fun of all was at Midland, Michigan, where Gina came to ride Winraff in Amateur Western Pleasure (third) and Amateur English Pleasure (first). She and Pat attended our Legion of Merit party for Winraff at the Michigan All-Arabian Show in 1975, Gina in a long, pale yellow satin dress. Scrumptious." Jim Rooker
Perhaps the most endearing testament to his character comes from Jeannine Miswick, friend of Gina and editor of her book:
He was a well-mannered horse. She would turn him out in the indoor ring for some exercise and one day when my daughter and I were visiting she told my daughter, Lisa, to go into the ring and play with WINRAFF. Well, I wasn't
worried one bit. So WINRAFF had one of those big balls that he played
with, so Lisa would kick it across the ring and WINRAFF would go after
it and "nose" it back to her. Or she would run around the ring and he
would run with her; he was free, no lead rope on him, like a big dog."
An excerpt from pedigree research by Arlene Magid:
...Legion of Merit winner, National winner sire and grandsire Winraff++, an accomplished dressage horse. Winraff++ is by National winner sire Orbit out of a daughter of National winner sire Garaff." Arlene Magid
From the history page at Shalimar Arabians:
The program continued using the daughters of Garaff and later Orbit with Winraff and his sons, Silver Sp. Winefti, Shalimar Caribou, Shalimar Pima, the Winefti son Shalimar Nathan and the Orbit son Shalimar Rhett." Shalimar Arabians
Overall, Winraff++ still stands as a magnificent example of the Arabian horse's beauty, athleticism, and unparalleled temperament!
