Thanks for reading this through to the end. I know it's a little hard to follow at times. The whole point is that there are a lot of ways to have Wing Commander on the top side of your pedigree, and all of these horses came through Wing Commander's son Wing's Fleet Admiral.
Next time will continue with the Wing Commander Legacy to see how another of his son's has carried on his line. Not sure who I'll choose yet.
And as always, visit The American Saddlebred Blog's Face book page and like it!
CH Admiral's Mark was sired by CH Courageous Admiral by Wing's Fleet Admiral by CH Wing Commander. He was a gelding, but another one of my favorites. He was a multi WC and shown for many years by both Mary Gaylord McLean and Randi Stuart Wightman.
