Orzel: Scottsdale's Legendary Arabian Stallion
In 1967, Scottsdale's 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 Tweed's granddaughter Shelley Groom Trevor. Thousands of fans visited the legendary performer in retirement at Brusally Ranch. Decades after Orzel's death, horses he sired continue his winning legacy. Author Tobi Lopez Taylor chronicles this triumphant story.

Author Tobi Lopez Taylor writes a winning story about "Orzel" the stallion uprooted from Poland to the US. Filled with actual pictures and documented facts, "Orzel" follows horse breeder Ed Tweed and his journey to success. Author Taylor travels with Orzel, showcasing his tremendous talent, and all of the horsemen/women who made Orzel a success. It would be great to see a sequel focusing on Orzel's offspring and their contribution to today's horse racing. As a horse-lover, I enjoyed this book and recommend to everyone.
