Raswan Quote: The pride of his owner and the ornament of the stud. What a thrill to watch his gaits and form, how graceful his aristocratic appearance. His exterior was that of an athlete, though he was rather small, but of tremendous muscular build. Fiery but pleasing temperament that won the heart of every beholder
