Wartime Romance has been owned all her life by Tonda Brandon of southern California.
Wartime Romance is the only foal ever gotten by her sire, Sun Warrior, which was bred by me and sold to Tonda Brandon. He is a beautiful, typy, and very correct horse with excellent legs, including good bone and joints, and an outstanding trot. He is also the product of the only time Mescca Sultana was bred to Night Dragon.
Wartime Romance’s dam is the chestnut roan mare Sun and Snow, bred by and owned by me for many years, but now owned by Angela Lewis of Susanville, California, to whom I sold her because I have two of her daughters (Wartime Romance and Starspangled Glory).
Wartime romance is not a roan, but she has some Mesaoud small white spots in her coat. She is a handsome mare.
Many years ago when I visited the Cal Poly Kellogg horses I saw the superb old stallion Zari (Courier x Maazza). I wanted to breed to him, but he was no longer available for stud so I began to try to find a daughter of suitable quality. I found only two for sale. Basketta, 3rd dam of Wartime Romance, was in Oregon so I went to see her. She was of the type and quality I wanted, and I liked the fact that on her dam’s side she was a granddaughter of the beautiful and high quality Crabbet import *Silfretta. I bought Basketta, but alas! She died before giving me a foal. The man from whom I had bought her felt sorry that I had gotten nothing from the mare, although it certainly was not his fault. He very kindly offered to lease me, free of charge, Basketta’s chestnut roan daughter, Rytham Mariah, who was double Zari and also had some nice Egyptian blood. I bred Rhytham Mariah to the brilliant trotting and beautifully bred chestnut roan stallion Schar, and got Sun and Snow.
