FROM LINDA TAYLOR
FROM THE PRESIDENT
I want to thank everyone for their cards and good wishes
during Tom’s recovery from heart bypass surgery which
he underwent on November 2nd. They were so much
appreciated.
I hope that everyone had a safe and happy holiday
season and that the new year will be a rewarding and
prosperous time for each of you.
FAHR will continue the ad campaign in 2005 and anyone that is interested in participating should contact
FAHR. The ad campaign is an excellent and inexpensive way to advertise your farm or ranch in some national publications such as Western Horseman and
the Trail Rider. The next ads are planned for this
Spring and should be coming out starting in April, and
we plan to do more throughout the year.
It was discovered very late in October that he had a very
serious problem of which we were caught totally off
guard by this newest health crisis. It turned out to be
quite an ordeal for him when he had some additional
complications that turned his 5 day hospital stay into a 9
day stay, as well as a slower recuperation time than
would be normal for most. At this time, he is rehabilitating and getting stronger with each day. Our hope is that
he will be able to resume normal activities by February
1st. I would love nothing more than to have him back in
the saddle and resuming those other horse related
chores we all love so much.
The annual meeting in October went well. Bill and
Mary Wicklund came all the way from Oklahoma. Bill
gave quite a discussion on the competitive trail and
distance program that he has been working on for
FAHR, as well as a saddle log program. We plan to
have more details about this soon.
During his hospital stay, he met a very nice man who
was his respiratory therapist. Tom never fails to mention
his Foundation Appaloosa horses to anyone he meets.
It turned out this man, David Braun from Fort Wayne,
owned a beautiful Appaloosa stallion back in the 60’s.
Of course, Tom immediately asked me to bring in a few
past issue of the Tidings to show David, and he was totally amazed that there were still Appaloosa horses of
this caliber being bred today. He in turn brought the following photos of his stallion.
FAHR is currently working on a calendar using pictures of foundation horses. Unfortunately, we discussed this a bit too late for this year and realized
many of you already would have purchased 2005 calendars, however it is something we plan on offering
every year and will begin our 2006 calendars so they
can be made available this fall. There has been discussions about using FAHR registered foals in future
calendars so don’t delay getting those FAHR foals
registered.
Tom and I were both
totally impressed. We
think he is a gorgeous
guy both in conformation and coat color. Unfortunately, David did
not have a pedigree on
As some of you may already know, Tom Taylor underwent heart bypass surgery this fall and is currently recovering at home. I want to take this time to thank
Tom and his wife Linda for all they have done for the
Appaloosa and for FAHR over the years. I know they
have both put forth a great deal of time and effort into
FAHR and into saving the foundation Appaloosa. Our
thoughts and prayers are with you, Tom, and I hope to
see you up and riding soon.
this horse.
How we
would love to have been
able to see that!
Craig Wells
So, another one of
Tom’s more difficult life
experiences has given
him a chance to meet
someone with a shared interest in Appaloosa horses,
however, it did not really surprise me at all!
Many of you may not know that Eddie Street has had
difficult health problems over the past several months as
well, so I did the best I could with the time I had available
to do this issue. I hope everyone can understand why
this issue of the Tidings had to be combined into a six
month issue and why it is so late in getting sent out.

3
MINUTES OF THE
SIXTH ANNUAL GENERAL MEMBERSHIP MEETING
OCTOBER 16, 2004
Vice President Craig Wells called the meeting to order at 3:40 pm.
Roll call of the board of directors was taken. Those present were Vicki Grant, Ken Haskins, and Arita Harwood. Those
absent were Edna Street and Joe Yeomans. Also present were President Tom Taylor, Vice President Craig Wells, Financial Secretary Linda Taylor, Registrar Kathy Conklin, and Secretary Ginger Karns.
Ginger Karns read the minutes of the last meeting. Jennifer Thomas made the motion to approve the minutes as read,
and Steve Karns seconded it.
Linda Taylor gave the treasurer’s report for the absent Treasurer, Marilyn Yeomans, and presented a printed financial
report. Jennifer Thomas moved to approve the treasurer’s report as read and Ginger Karns seconded the motion.
Craig Wells continued to stress the need to keep FAHR out in the public eye through the share-an-ad program and the
horse expos. Memberships and registrations have been growing steadily, and word is slowly getting out about FAHR
and its goals.
Ginger Karns stressed the importance for Indiana members to help promote and participate in the Hoosier Horse Fair
held annually in April in Indianapolis. Tom Taylor mentioned we have the option to put a FAHR share-an-ad in the
horse fair program book.
The following proposals were submitted for discussion, but none could be voted on because of the lack of a
quorum:
1.
Change Article VI: DISTRIBUTION OF ASSETS ON DISSOLUTION OR FINAL LIQUIDATION to read: “Assets will
be sold and monies received will be given to the Hoofed Animal Humane Society”… or one of the horse rescue associations.
There was no real discussion on this proposal.
2. Change all membership renewals to be at the first of the year from the present format of doing them on a monthly
basis starting in January 2005. Those that have paid their dues anywhere during the year 2004 will receive a mem bership discount on their dues for the year 2005 and will renew at that time for each following year. Example: Any one who renewed in 2004 in the months of April, May, June (2nd quarter) will receive a discount for six months (2
quarters) of 2005 when they pay their dues before January 1, 2005. If this were a single membership, they would
only pay $10 instead of $20.
Discussion was very favorable and options on the original proposal were offered along with the benefits to the club
and the membership.
3. Charge a late fee for all FAHR membership renewals not received by the FAHR Secretary no later than March 1…
or something along these lines.
This proposal was considered unnecessary if proposal #2 was accepted.
4. Generalize the FAHR membership renewal form and/or put it in each issue of the Tidings.
It was discussed that if the membership renewals would all be due at the first of the year, the renewal form would only
4
have to be put in the Oct/Nov/Dec issue each year.
5. Allow FAHR to accept horses registered in the Appaloosa Horse Club of Canada into the registry if they meet all
other FAHR requirements.
Discussion was favorable.
6. Allow all registration paper work, including accompanying fees, to go directly to the FAHR registrar.
It was decided this wouldn’t work for sending appropriating fees to the proper places as some registration and membership fees come in combined on one check.
7. Change the registration requirements to state that any ApHC registered horse applying for registration with FAHR,
who is found to be dually registered with the POAC or the descendent of a dual registered ApHC/POAC ancestor
will be required to submit, along with their application packet, written proof from a certified veterinarian that the said
animal is of appropriate size: Measuring a minimum of 14 hands (56 inches) at the highest point of the withers.
This is already covered in the FAHR bylaws, but should be looked at for revision.
8. Raise the FAHR registration fee from $10 to $15, and raise the non-member registration fee from $20 to $25. This
could take effect as of January 1, 2005, or January 1, 2006. And plan to raise it every few years.
With the stipulation of registering first with the ApHC, it was decided that the FAHR registration fees should not change
because of the added expense. It was suggested to implement a time limit as to when to get the corrected information
back to the registrar, or an incorrect registration fee will be added to the cost of registering a horse with FAHR.
NEW BUSINESS:
Bill Wicklund gave a presentation on the tentative FAHR distance program covering competitive trail and endurance
riding that is based on the ApHC system with some subtle differences. The program is set up to promote soundness in
the breed. A saddle log program is included in this program for logging hours in the saddle. Hours may be logged
from endurance or competitive trail riding competition. Horses must be 5 years old and owned by a current FAHR
member to enter the distance program for a fee of $15.
Ken Haskins commented on FAHR getting involved with the Country Supply, Country Care program. Any organization
can get into the program, and when anyone uses the code given to that specific organization when making a purchase
of $50 or more from Country Supply, 5% of that purchase price will be donated to that specific organization. Anyone
can do this and doesn’t have to be a FAHR member to use FAHR’s code for the discount.
Craig Wells asked for a motion to adjourn. Ginger Karns made the motion and Arita Harwood seconded it.
Meeting Adjourned.
5
MINUTES OF THE BOARD MEETING
FOLLOWING THE
THE SIXTH ANNUAL MEMBERSHIP MEETING
OCTOBER 16, 2004
Vice President Craig Wells called the board meeting to order. Those present were Arita Harwood, Vicki Grant, Ken
Haskins, Tom Taylor, Linda Taylor, Teresa Wells, Jennifer Thomas, Kathy Conklin, and Ginger Karns. Absent were
Edna Street, Joe Yeomans, and Marilyn Yeomans.
All board proposals were unable to be voted on by the Board of Directors for lack of a quorum:
Tom Taylor resigned as President and Linda Taylor resigned as Financial Secretary. Those present accepted Craig
Wells as President and Ken Haskins as Vice President. Vicki Grant was appointed as Financial Secretary. Marilyn
Yeomans and Kathy Conklin were accepted as new directors as of this meeting.
The following suggestions were made:
The most important item to address was to have an audit. Arita Harwood suggested havi ng it done as a bi-annual audit
and prior to the Annual BOD meeting and the election of officers. A budget committee consisting of three members
would make contact with the treasurer in handling FAHR’s funds and present this information to the Board for review.
The secretary should update the bylaws and anything that is relative to procedure. All the audiotapes and videotapes
for the past five years will have to be listened to and all proposals written down and checked to make sure the wording
is right before they are sent to the BOD for a vote, and then added to the current bylaws. This will be done annually
from then on. There should be volunteers to help the secretary, since this hasn’t been kept up on a timely basis.
The printer used for putting out the Tidings, the FAHR studbooks, etc. should be insured against theft and accidental
damage that is not covered by warranty. An editorial staff should be appointed for the Tidings, and someone who can
take over putting it out in a timely manner if the current editor is not capable of doing so or quits.
FAHR officers should be put in charge of certain areas of the FAHR website, such as the registrar be in charge of the
registry, the secretary in charge of the membership, etc., and to keep these areas updated on a regular basis. It will be
necessary to put the site onto a program that everyone in charge can use.
The bylaws should be changed so that the election of directors can coincide with the annual membership meeting. No
one was sure if this had been done in the past.
The committees that have not been active such as the show committee, the trail and distance committee, etc. should
be reactivated. The focus should begin on the distance program that Bill Wicklund presented during the annual membership meeting. FAHR has not grown enough to consider putting on a show at this time.
Some kind of budget needs to be set up to keep track of expenses so we know exactly what money is available and
where it should be used. Possibilities could be to print up a FAHR calendar with the origninal foundation horses on it
for either 2005 or 2006, FAHR bumper stickers, or FAHR logo magnets that could be put on a car or truck.
Only one family member at any time should be a board member at the same time or with overlapping terms was suggested.
The Board of Directors should contact each other at least one a month, so that everyone is updated on projects, what’s
being done, and what has to be done… including the secretary, and the head of the executive committee, and make
the secretary an honorary director… one that can attend BOD meetings and be sent anything pertaining to BOD business, but having no voting privileges.
Meeting Adjourned.

LETTERS & INPU T from M embers

Olgas visits to my home and vise versa. This is a great
loss to the foundation Appaloosa horse breed.
Received

Winthrop, Washington
(Note: It is a great loss every time an Old Icon like Mr.
Rolston passes. We are the worst off for it. He was a
classic Foundation Toby Breeder and without him, we
would have NO chance to do what we do as true
Foundation breeders today. So I am glad you knew
him and had a chance to speak with him Lynda. I know
you will pass on the knowledge you learned from him.
This is very sad news, and Ken Haskins was right
when he wrote me in a recent e-mail, “The message
board just posted another message about a long time
Appaloosa breeder passing on. Although it is inevitable, I fear we are losing more true "promoters" than we
are gaining. It seems there is never enough time to talk
and learn”. This is why I believe, now more than ever,
we need to get with these old keepers of the flame.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Tom)
Dear Tom:
Thank you again for putting me in touch with Palmer
Wagner and for all your help in trying to get my Aunt’s
(Vera Knisley’s) stallion, My Dauntless Dandy registered with the ApHC.
I feel a little more encouraged after hearing from you
and Mr. Wagner and I am glad there are people out
there like you fighting to keep a really terrific type of
horse from becoming extinct. Keep up the good work,
and again THANK YOU!
Sincerely,
Sally Domeier
Burwell, Nebraska
P.S. The enclosed check is just a small donation to a
very worth cause.
***************************************************
(Note: I would be honored if I indeed was able to be of
assistance in getting your aunt’s stallion, My Dauntless
Dandy, registered with the ApHC. In my opinion he has
every right to be registered with the ApHC; even more
so than some of the trash they register these days. I
hope everything works out for her and for this very fine
stallion. On behalf of FAHR, I thank you very much for
your generous donation. No donation is considered too
small for such a worthy cause.
Tom)
The following is a cute story that was sent to FAHR by
Ginger Karns on June 22, 2004. We hope you all enjoy it as much as we did.
Okay, I promised you all my story about this past
week end, so here it is:
THE GOOD,
My Saturday started off like any other, and I had plans
to go to Salamonie for some much needed time away
from everything and some peace and quiet... just me &
my horse (Terra). I knew it would be muddy. After all, it
was SSF and it had rained terrible the week before,
but I was desperate for a ride.
***************************************************

Just thought I would inform everyone that Maurice Ralston passed away October 25. Many of you "old timers"
would remember him.
He owned Toby II Patchy for sometime. He also
started the R.O. Appaloosa Ranch here in Okanogan
County. For more info on him, he is on page 129 in
Palmer Wagner’s book.
Over the years, I have been blessed with Maurice and
8
Terra was really in the mood, so I thought I'd find out
just what my girl was made of. We must have hit almost every hill back along the river (and then some!),
and I pushed her harder than I ever had. Man, what a
ride! I hadn't had that much fun on a horse in years,
and Terra just ate it up. She was enjoying it just as
much as I was. We even cantered & hand galloped
frequently, and she stepped out at a ground covering
walk the entire way. It was great!! I actually felt like we
letters continued
insulators, too. Because of all the rain the whole back of
the arena was mud and/or standing water.
Now, Steve's a big guy... well over 250 lbs., and he was
walking and unreeling the wire while I put it in the insulators. That's when Steve's galoshes stuck in the mud and
he went down. "I can't move!" He hollered, and I
thought, "How on Earth am I gonna get him up!?" We
did it with the use of an overturned 5 gallon bucket and a
garden rake. Then, he couldn't move his feet! He finally
had to step out of the boots and onto solid ground.
When I tried to get the boots up, I thought one of them
was going to be rooted there forever. It took every ounce
of strength I had to pull it loose. Steve was exhausted
with his fight to get out of the mud. So, there we stood,
covered with mud, and looking for all the world like a
couple of pigs after rolling in a sty. What a time!
were one entity instead of a horse and a rider. What a
feeling!!
THE BAD,
But all good things must end, and we returned
home... and found my gelding Dove in the barn, the
arena gate busted, and my husband Steve wasn't
home. Wonderful!! And my horse shoer (Gene
Breedlove) was due to be there in less than an hour.
So much for all the relaxing benefits of my perfect trail
ride. One plus was that Gene's girlfriend (Shawn)
called and said that they'd be a half hour late. So, that
helped some.
After we finished, Dove finally came over to inspect our
handiwork, sniffed at the new gate, gave us a dirty look,
and went back out to the pasture. Mission accomplished... praise the Lord!! LOL
Steve came home and said that the neighbors were
getting ready to catch Dove when Steve had been
gone earlier and come back to find the same mess I
did. So, they rounded up Dove and put him back in
the barn when Steve had to return to town. Gene &
Shawn arrived and we got the horses taken care of.
By then, it was going on 7:00 pm. So, we fed the
horses and decided to fix the gate when we got back
from dinner.

****************************************************
By 8:00 pm I'd fixed the gate (our fence line is 2
strands of hotwire on T-posts with the gates the same
with insulated handles), the horses were done eating,
and I put them out in the arena for the night. We had
barely settled in for the rest of the evening when
Steve looked out the window to see Dove walk right
through the arena gate as nice as you please and into
the yard. We grabbed our clothes and spent the next
45 minutes walking down two horses that knew they
were in trouble. Talk about a time!
I had to write a piece for a newsletter at work and I
thought you might enjoy a laugh also.
THE MEASURE OF A FRIEND
The measure of a friend can found in 10 inches of water.
On our last horse camping trip, I was riding my new 2
year old stallion. While he is coming along quite nicely,
he still has a few issues to work out. Every one that
weekend was on a gelding, except for my best friend
Colleen. Riding was great on Saturday, things went well.
Sunday, her mare decided to come into heat. Now this
didn’t bother my horse riding side by side down the road,
until, we had to turn around and the mare was in front of
him….”I like your perfume” and out the window went the
mind of a young stallion. So, Colleen rode in the back.
The rest of the ride went on with out incidence.
At least Bracken Road wasn't busy that time of night,
since they both decided to trot right down the middle
of the road in front of our house before cutting back
through the side yard. I followed them and thought I
had a chance to catch them in between the next door
corn field and the pasture fence. That's when they
both got a case of the sillies and ran as fast as they
could go between our pasture and the corn field. This
field is wide open with no fences to the next road
over... a mile straight back. All I was thinking was "Oh
s**t!!!" But our luck held. They just went around the
back of our small pasture and came down the other
side. I hated to do it, but we had to use the feed
bucket to catch them. Needless to say, they spent the
night in the barn.
Well, we headed back to camp before the rest of the
gang and I headed down the hill to the river to water my
horse. He got a little goofy and decided he didn’t want
to be by himself. Where we ended up was in the middle
of the river on a sand bar, about 10 inches deep right
behind a small fallen tree with the roots from the stump
sticking up about 8-10 inches. I decided before he did
something really stupid, (like dump me in the river, or
impale himself on the root) we would leave. He decided
to leap over the tree, and in the process, I lost my hat.
(This is my FAHR hat!) It landed in the water right in the
AND THE UGLY
The next day, we did what should've been done more
than a year ago. We replaced all the hot wire and all
the rusted handles on the whole arena fence. It took
us almost 4 hours to do, since we had to put up new

me to lean over and try to get it. I will get it later.

to get my hat.

Foundation Bloodlines
by Frank C. Scripter
so it was essentially the same as the Foundation stock.
These rules had the effect of concentrating the original
strains of Appaloosa blood and tended to gradually purify
the breed as it should be done by rigid selection of the
best from within the breed.
Believe it or not there was some prestige attached to
the blue papers. Then Lo!! The admirers of other breeds
who prattle about the wonderful qualities of the Appaloosa breed but who cannot bring themselves to defend
or upgrade it by rigid selection from within have made
their presence felt and have successfully mongrelized
and bastardized the breed under the guise of improving it
by, in most cases, introducing the castoffs of other
breeds into it. At about the same time. under the guise of
simplifying things and saving money the ApHC came up
with the brown indistinguishable papers which seemed to
make all horses equal regardless of the purity of original
bloodlines and thus setting the stage for the situation that
we have today of parlaying to the public horses with or
without Appaloosa characteristics that may have one or
two horses in an extended pedigree with some Appaloosa blood but may be 15/16, 31/32 or 63/64 predominantly of some other breed or a combination of other
breeds and which may be typical specimens of those
breeds.
This has been called improving the breed by the uninformed and the ignorant. It is also the cause of many
lovers of the original breed to leave the organization and
go to some other breed that may be making some effort
to establish a degree of purity of bloodlines, and the probable cause of bringing the ApHC to the precarious position it is in today. Had we religiously followed the original
rules as established we might have been pleasantly surprised at this date.
I am not debasing other breeds but in most cases
those animals that are not the best of those breeds are
sold to the gullible Appaloosa people which creates a
useful market for their lesser quality animals of their own
breeds. I wish we could do the same and sell them our
less than desirable animals. It is an interesting observation that at the Money Creek Ranch disposal sale, which
had to be one of the notable sales of the decade, that the
high selling horse there was the AQHA stallion, Sugar
Sabre. This at a sale where one would expect the premier boosters of the Appaloosa world would be in attendance. That speaks volumes about our so-called Appaloosa breeders. I know for certain that there were some
good well bred animals of predominantly Appaloosa
blood in their herd, that were well conformed with good
heads, feet and legs for both Ed and Evelyn Weber were
excellent judges of good horseflesh.
If we still had the same distinctive papers today as
were in the early days all of the animals in my own breeding program would be blue papered and I still have some
blue papered animals in my breeding herd.
It seems that when the ApHC was founded there
were two classes of horses. Those interested, were at
that time, trying to recreate a facsimile of the original
horses of the Northwest Indians. The remnants of the
magnificent horses that were once owned by the Nez
Perce, Flatheads, Shoshones, Cayuse and their
neighboring tribes that were launched into famous notoriety by Chief Joseph with his heroic and ill-fated trek
and battles with the U.S. cavalry, had been debased
and almost destroyed by the orders of the United
States government. Upon the capitulation of Chief Joseph and his band, many were destroyed and the remnants were bred to range horses, draft horses and almost anything the early settlers chose. It almost seems
as if the enemy was the innocent, docile, quiet dispositioned war horse of the Indians.
When certain people prattle about the coarse, jugheaded, big footed horse that they call original Appaloosas, they are describing the debased animal that
followed Joseph's defeat. They are not describing the
original horse that Lewis and Clark found on their expedition to the Pacific Northwest in 1804 -1806. Let them
read the description of those horses as written in their
journals. Incidentally, both Lewis and Clark were very
knowledgeable horsemen and their description is of a
completely different horse than of the Spanish imports.
It was this situation when the early founders of the
ApHC began their efforts to rejuvenate the breed. As
stated before, there were two classes of horses, Foundation and Tentative. To become foundation stock, a
mare had to produce three registerable offspring; while
a stallion had to produce twelve registerable offspring.
Upon meeting these requirements the 'T' number was
transferred to foundation stock and give n a different 'F’
number. There are 4,932 foundation numbers listed in
the first five stud books.
At that time it must have become clear that the system was in danger of becoming a hodge podge of conflicting numbers so another more workable system
came into being. There were then three classes of
horses: Permanent, Tentative, and Breeding Stock. All
Foundation and Permanent horses were then blue papered. The Tentative registered horses carried orange
papers, while Breeding Stock carried pink papers. Also
at that time animals with no color or characteristics, but
of Appaloosa blood or with no Appaloosa blood could
be issued white ID papers and used in a breeding program; but their off-spring, if eligible for registry carried
pink or orange papers until they had been proven by
their production record, as outlined above.
Since color was a requisite in those times neither
ID or pink papered animals were eligible to be shown in
a show ring. After a Tentative animal had been proven
by production as outlined above, it could be transferred
to Permanent and the club would then upon application
issue blue papers and remove the 'T' from the number,

What Appaloosas Are Used For
To give the reader a little insight on what the Appaloosa can do, we thought it fitting to list their known uses. Some
folks might wonder what this has to do with Breed Characteristics, but if you will note, the Poll made by Dr. Haines for
the Appaloosa Horse Club, under “Qualities Most Valued In Appaloosas,” they were listed in this order; disposition, intelligence, endurance, adaptability, and speed, Page 44.
As the old saying goes, “The proof is in the pudding.” At this time, Appaloosas are being used for ranch horses,
show horses, pleasure horses, rodeo horses, and race horses. The American Horse Shows Association has listed an
Appaloosa horse two different years as National Pleasure Horse Champion. A good Appaloosa mare has won the
Heavyweight Stock Horse Championship at the Cow Palace in California. The fore mentioned class is the toughest reining horse competition in the world. In the latter part of 1963, an Appaloosa won the Open Stock Horse Stake at the Los
Angeles County Fair Grounds at Pomona, California, against all breeds with profession trainers riding them.
Appaloosas are used for parade horses, compete on endurance rides, and in costume classes. In 1964 two of the
Wet Coast clubs are going to have harness classes. They are being used for hunters and jumpers. There have been
two very well known jumping Appaloosas, one on the West Coast and another on the East Coast.
In the last few years they have become popular movie mounts. One rodeo clown became famous, riding an Appaloosa.
The Appaloosa Horse Club, Inc., Moscow, Idaho, has put up a large purse for the first Appaloosa to get in the top
ten in National Cutting Horse competition and another for the Roping and Bulldogging horse.
4-H Club members are using them for their projects. Some states have pari-mutuel betting for Appaloosas, and they
are running all distances.
Maybe old Chief Joseph lost his race to Canada after wearing out several Cavalry outfits but we think he would be
proud if he could see the race the Appaloosa is giving other breeds now.

The first official stud book and registry was published the year 1947. Volume I.
Three hundred thirty six Appaloosas were registered from 1938 to 1947.
The Appaloosa Horse Club published the first Appaloosa News “breed” journal for Appaloosas in 1946. By 1964 it
had over 10,000 subscribers.
The first National Appaloosa Horse Show was held in 1948.
On August 1, 1949 the Appaloosa Stud Book was closed to open registry of foundation stock and a tentative stud
book was set up.
The Appaloosa Horse Club was approved by the National Stallion Board in 1950.
The second Stud Book, Volume II was published in 1950.

have eleven good registered Appaloosa brood mares
and young stock of all kinds and ages. If you are ever in
southern Oklahoma be sure to visit the Blevin ranch.
They will make you feel at home and show you plenty of
spotted horses. After we ate they showed me pictures
and we talked horse until 1 a.m. I don't think that the
Blevin's will ever start cross breeding. Mr. Tyner of Ti pton, Indiana has a good young mare there that Mr.
Blevins is training for a cutting mare. He said she was
sure doing good and was going to be a real cutting
mare.

On August 24, I went to see Mr. Stanley Lewis and
his horses. He is the new owner of Cheetah No. F125
and has four good Appaloosa mares bred to Cheetah.
He also has a two year old stud and a stud colt by
Cheetah that have good color and conformation. Mr.
Lewis has been a showman of Tennessee Walking and
five gaited horses at the bigger shows for years. Mr.
Lewis stated that the demand for Appaloosa horses of
all kinds was just unbelievable. You Appaloosa show
people had better be on the look out for Mr. Stanley
Lewis of Sarcoxie, Mo. He is an old timer at showing
horses and he is looking forward to being at some of
the Appaloosa shows next year.
I was looking at horses at daybreak the next morning. I looked at Cal Barton's new mare. She looked like a
show prospect to me. Also saw Rusty Compton's stud
colt by Buttons B. He is a good one, has color and conformation. Saw Cecil Lindsey's stud Blue Dog. Cecil has
some good mares and is always working for the promotion of the Appaloosa horse. I didn't get to see the Alfred
Cooks, but understand they did real good at the Colorado State Fair with their two young studs.
Mr. Jim Leftwick, Butler, Missouri has a nice colt
sired by Hands Up and has a nice Appaloosa red roan
dam. Mr. Leftwick stated that he and his son would be at
some of the Appaloosa shows next year.
I stopped the same day to visit another Appaloosa
breeder. I hated to learn that he has started cross
breeding his horses. He is crossing his Appaloosa stallion on Quarter Horse mares and his Appaloosa mares
on Thoroughbred studs. A lot of us are doing some
cross breeding, but I think most, if not all of it is because we can not find the good Appaloosa mares to
breed. We look to the eastern markets to sell our
horses. They like a small. gentle horse with lots of
color. So therefore we like the quarter horse cross to
sell. But I am sure that as soon as we can get the Appaloosa mares, this cross breeding will come to a
close, because we get too many colts that are not of
the Appaloosa disposition, color, type and body conformation.
Mr. Calvin Huff and Sons, Boonville, Mo. have been
showing a good red roan Appaloosa pleasure mare in a
lot of the Missouri shows this season. They have been
doing some winning.
Missouri Appaloosa Lovers! In the spring of 1955
wrote 34 letters (to all owners I knew at the time) asking
if you wanted to try and get a Missouri Appaloosa Club
started. I only got 8 answers. Now that was pretty bad.
But I am going to make another try. I am asking all of
you who are interested to write my daughter, Mrs. Richard Nelson, California, Missouri. Also send her the
names and addresses of anyone who you think might be
interested. If we of Missouri fail on this advancement of
the Appaloosa horse it will be the first horse or mule project that I have ever known of Missouri not having a part
in. Let's help move this wonder horse on into the East
where the buyers are really hungry for them. So please
let us all show our Appaloosa friends that we too are behind the breed all the way. From what I can learn Mr. C.
S. Danley of Columbia, Missouri has one of the largest
herds of Appaloosas to be found anywhere. I understand
he is planning a sale soon. Maybe we can all help him
put it over in a big way.
On Labor Day I visited the Craterville Park near
Cache, Okla. Mr. Frank Rush is owner of the Park and
also the Rocking Ranch. The Quanah Parker family
were having their reunion and Indian Pow Wow. The
Indian dancing I was the most colorful thing I have ever
seen. While I was there I looked at Mr. Dan Coat's Son
of Quanah. He is a good stud, blue roan with plenty of
black spots over his hips and loins. He is on the Rush
Ranch running with nine mares. They have seven colts
of which five are of good colors. This is the best bunch
of colts I ever saw in the same pasture. I have never
met Mr. Coats, but I had a long visit with Mr. Rush and
I believe that from this partnership we are going to see
some good Appaloosa horses. Mr. Rush keeps about
40 head of horses for hire at the park and he stated
that he hoped some day to have them all Appaloosas.
On September 6 I was by the Pauls Valley Oklahoma breeders. My time was limited so the Elvin
Blevins place of Wynnewood was as far as I got. Mrs.
Blevins fixed us a big dinner, but couldn't get Elvin and
myself in to eat until after dark. Elvin took me to see
colts allover that country. Those hills down there have
a lot of Good Buttons B. colts in them. The Blevins

Many of you know the Richard Nelsons of California,
Missouri. They have been showing my stud Half and
Half No. F1493 at most all of the shows in central Missouri this season in the reining stock horse classes.
They were also at the Illinois State Fair with him. They
have shown this young stud at 21 shows including two
state fairs and the Missouri State saddle club show. He
has been in the winnings 16 times. We think he is going
to be a top cutting 'and reining horse with a few more
years of use and showing behind him. Our good Quarter
Horse friends have started to respect, what they call
that spotted so and so. The Nelson's have a good stud
colt sired by this young stud that is a real show prospect for sure. Half & Half No. F1493 is by Blue Star No.

enough that he does not hang up in the windfalls.
One that is free-moving and has long enough pasterns that you can comfortably ride him all day.
Yet, there are some rodeo contestants and flat
country boys from the Plains and Southwest that like
Appaloosas as much as I do who prefer a shorter,
wider, lower withered, shorter pasterned horse - that
kind of horse would kill me and probably kill himself in
my kind of country but he suits the rodeo contestant
and flat country boy to a T. Some people need horses
that are built to ride only a few seconds or a few
hours. My horse might not appeal to you and yours
might not suit me, we all operate under different circumstances.
We found Blue Star in the pasture during deer season last year with a broken hind leg. The Vet said it
looked like he had been shot with a rifle at long range.
The leg was so badly broken that it was impossible to
save him. He was a great little horse. As well as being
one of the best bred studs in the Middle West. Half &
Half is the only colt he left in this part of the country. A
few of his colts went to Colorado, but I don't know
where.
In conclusion, as a breed association we have a
standard of type and conformation, but we can not
dictate what breeders raise. Some breeders will breed
the horse that suits their personal needs. Some will
breed what they find meets the keenest demand from
buyers in their area. Most breeders like to breed a
horse that looks and performs like an Appaloosa, not
one that looks like some other breed with an Appaloosa hide stretched over him.
Editor's Note—Mr. Hurt has been in the horse show
game for 43 years. He showed his first pony at the age
of 5.

Mr. Hurt's mention of what to breed for reminded
me of the answer written to an Appaloosa breeder two
years ago.
Re: Breeding Standard - by the section in the Appaloosa Stud Book on Appaloosa Type and Conformation, the Appaloosa Judging Guide and the Tentative
Inspection Sheet, we have attempted to set up a standard. Its limits may be too wide, however, the narrower
your limits are placed, the narrower is the use, and
range of acceptance of your horse. People don't all like
the same type of horse. Dick Spencer gave a good talk
on that subject at the meeting at the Flying W. He said,
"You have variation in all breeds of everything. You
have little Thoroughbreds, big ones, tall ones, short
ones, wide ones, narrow ones, you have racing Quarter
Horses and bulldog Quarter Horses. You have Justin
Morgans and American Saddle bred type Morgans."
What is more unlike than a big rugged Canadian type
Hereford and a short, blocky, compressed type Hereford.
The All-Around Horse
By Coleen Harris
Appaloosas and people are an inseparable pair;
Be the horse gelding, stallion or mare.
They’ll do anything your heart desires
Such as walking through water, forest or mires.
They’ll do this all with hardly any pay,
Except for a few oats and a handful of hay.
The correct degree of standardization is enough to
keep recognized as a breed yet not so much that we
closely limit its use and acceptance.
This goes to show that Appaloosas you can trust.
And for an expert horseman they are a must.

Appaloosa Color Patterns
And Breed Characteristics
By DICK SPENCER III
White sclera around the eyeball
(also note varnish marks on
face, cheek, and eye).
APPALOOSA OWNERS are still
plagued with certain typical questions
and misconceptions. Two of the most
common are: Is the Appaloosa a breed,
or just a color? And the other one,
thought all the real Appaloosas were. . .
(and then describe one of the several
color patterns).
breeding program as the colorful
hides. For a moment we will forget all
else but these physical breed characteristics.
This is written to again clear up
these points. First of all, the Appaloosa
is a breed—recognized as such by the
National Association of Stallion Registration Boards, in 1950. This is the final
authority as to what is and is not recognized as a breed in this country.
Striped hoof. The tough, flinty hoof
of the Appaloosa frequently shows
vertical stripes, or laminations. On
some individuals this is quite prominent, and on all four hoofs; on others it
may not be so noticeable, or appear
only on one hoof. This is always more
readily seen when the hoofs are wet
or cleaned.
Enthusiastic Appaloosa breeders
will further tell you that the Appaloosa
has even more reason to be a breed
than some of the other recognized
breeds that have come into being based
upon type or performance of a specific
job. They do not knock the other
breeds, but will stand their ground for
such recognition, because the Appaloosa does have definite physical breed
characteristics other than color—or type
and special job performance.
Parti-colored (mottled) skin.
An exceptionally sparse tail
frequently crops up in the
breed.
White sclera around the eye. This
has somewhat the resemblance of the
human eye. The white is on the eyeball itself, surrounding the colored iris.
Parti-colored skin. This is one of
the most tell-tale physical characteristics of the breed. This mottled skin is
always evident in the genital region of
the horse, and may be evident around
the soft skin of the lips, muzzle, nostrils, or eyes.
These physical characteristics are
easily recognized by any horseman,
once they are seen. Furthermore, they
are just as important in an Appaloosa
The vertically striped “laminated” hoof.
15
Varnish marks, dark areas, are most
often seen on the marble pattern or
roan areas of an Appaloosa. Here
they may be seen on the face and over
the eyes.
Sparse mane and tail. Many Appaloosas show this tendency towards a sparse mane and tail, some
of them showing little more than a
"stump" for a tail. These are often
referred to as "finger-tails" or "rattails:' All individuals within the breed
do not show this characteristic; but,
as a breed, the Appaloosa tends towards the sparse tail and the wispy
mane.
Varnish marks. These are most
common in Appaloosas with roan
coloration, and are actually a grouping of a predominance of dark hairs
within an area. Common areas
where varnish marks are found are
on the nose and face, above the eye,
on the point of the hip, behind the
elbow, and in the gaskin and stifle
region. At a distance, this may be one
of the tell-tale aids in determining if
the horse is an Appaloosa or a roancolored horse. Closer examination will
verify your decision, depending upon
the eye, skin, and hoofs.
Appaloosa coloration. Just as
other breeds have different colors, the
Appaloosa has different colors and
different color patterns. No single
color or color pattern is the "true Appaloosa," and all are a part of the
breed: Some colors and patterns, of
course, are more desirable than others, but even these vary according to
the personal likes and dislikes of the
different owners. Most of the basic
horse colors are evident within the
breed, with the addition of the Appaloosa patterns. For classification, the
patterns are divided into six basic
Spotted blanket with solid-colored
forequarters.

forequarters.
White blanket without spots.
Snowflake, the white flecks over the
solid color.

ones which are easily identified. These
are spotted blanket, white blanket, leopard, snowflake, frost, and marble.
Actually there is another "color pattern," but it is identified primarily as a
lack of typical Appaloosa coloring.
These could be classed as marginal,
and are either lacking or showing only a
faint trace of Appaloosa coloring. Such
individuals should be extremely strong
in the other physical characteristics of
the breed. A marginal mare, especially,
can be a valuable addition to a broodmare band if she is a well-made mare.
Marginal individuals should be given
every opportunity to strengthen in color,
by breeding them to Appaloosas that
are strong in color. A marginal that
doesn't stand up well as an individual
should be weeded out of breeding

bands, because the breed will always
be judged horse first, color sec-ond,
by real horsemen. Color will always
be desired in the Appaloosa breed,
but not at the sacrifice of horse. The
ones that will be the most credit to the
breed, and the really high-priced individuals, will be those that have plenty
of color, plenty of horse, and plenty of
ability.

physical characteristics.
with these patterns.
Two other factors which are worthy of consideration, and interesting
when you have seen specific examples, are that some Appaloosas do not
have the distinctive coloring when
they are foaled, and some horses will
change from one color pattern to another with age. Some of these
changes are almost unbelievable. It is

to this rule, but the fact is evident as
you watch the various classes at a big
Appaloosa show.
The get of a stallion, or the produce of a mare, may come in any of
the Appaloosa color patterns, and not
necessarily the pattern of one or either
of the parents. The Appaloosa breed is
a fertile field for study by geneticists,
and no horseman looks forward to foaling time with more anticipation and
high hopes than today's Appaloosa

“Costume Classes” For Appaloosas
By DR. FRANCIS HAINES
IN PARADES and horse shows the colorful Appaloosa has a great appeal for the average spectator, especially when the horse is decked with Indian trappings and
carries a rider clad in Indian costume. Appaloosa owners
in all parts of the country are acquiring costumes for
themselves and trappings for their horses, and scarcely a
showing of Appaloosas is considered complete unless it
includes a most colorful mount and rider class. This rapid
growth presents problems to both the judges and the entrants. They would like some sort of guidance in determining what is more desirable and what is less desirable in
such trappings and costumes.
It is obvious that with modern materials and colors a
person can produce dazzling costumes, and horses can
be decked with gaudy plumes in many colors. While such
results are indeed sensational, they are not quite what
most Appaloosa owners are striving for.
The Appaloosa horse is associated in the minds of
historians and stockmen alike as the warhorse of the Nez
Perce Indians. Hence it might be best to use Nez Perce
standards as far as they can be determined. The Nez
Perces reached the peak in costumes and trappings
about 1855, before they were overrun with miners and
settlers. Probably the finest mass display of Nez Perce
costumes ever made was at their grand parade at the
Walla Walla treaty council of 1855, when several hundred
of them appeared decked in their best.
Only a small portion of the Nez Perce costumes were
original with them. From their first visits to the buffalo
country they had borrowed widely from the Plains tribes,
especially the Crows, Blackfeet and the Sioux. Hence any
item in common use among these four tribes a century
ago could be considered as an appropriate part of the
Nez Perce outfit at its peak.
Our most reliable source of information on the Indian
costumes are the pictures drawn by western artists of the
Indians they had seen. The best of these are George Catlin, Alfred Jacob Miller and Charles Bodmer. While Charlie Russell worked at a later period, his close friendship
with the older Indians enabled him to include a great deal
of the old material.
As a result of a series of Indian wars 1875-1880, costumes changed rapidly. The defeated bands were herded
I into the reservations and were forced to give up many of
their old ways. They began catering to the tourist trade,
especially with the "peace pipes." Many of them were recruited for the "Wild West" shows and changed their old
time costumes for more glitter and show. Then came the
Hollywood spectaculars in Technicolor and more innovations were adopted.
The real struggle now seems to be between the people who would like to have the judging based on authentic
Indian costumes, even though they are less colorful, and
those who would prefer the dazzling Hollywood effects,
even though they are not authentic Indian. Perhaps we
should resolve this by having two classes—one for au-
thentic Indian regalia and one for color, with no requirement concerning authenticity. With this in mind, let us consider some of the features of the Nez Perce costume of a
century ago.
18
The Nez Perces of this period (1850-1875) would use:
Smoked buckskin.
Natural color feathers from local birds, with some plain
red dye on white feathers from geese and swans.
Hair from porcupines or deer tails for roaches, Some
beadwork, but not the elaborate masses common after
1900.
The most favored colors in beads were light blue, dark
blue and white. Yellow and an odd shade of pink were
common. At the same period the Sioux favored green on
white.
Heavy brass bells, up to an inch in diameter.
Strips of cornhusk weave.
Red flannel from the traders.
Red blankets with black stripes, and dark blue with
black stripes.
Small mirrors, one to three inches in diameter.
Horsehair, sometimes dyed, and dyed porcupine
quills.
The use of unsmoked or white buckskin is a rather
modern development, mostly since 1900. The use of dyed
ostrich feathers in vivid colors shows the Hollywood infl uence. This has increased markedly in costumes made
since World War II.
Note that feathers were used sparingly on the old time
parade outfits, except for the war bonnets and war poles.
However feathers were used in profusion for dance costumes. It would seem that some of our Appaloosa people
confuse the dance costumes and the parade costumes,
judging by the color classes in the shows of 1960. They
use too many feathers colored with the modern vivid dyes.
In a parade a Nez Perce warrior would wear:
A war bonnet or roach.
Fringed shirt of smoked buckskin, with quill work, corn
husk or beads on the yoke and sleeves.
A breechclout held by a belt.
Leggings of buckskin or blanket cloth, with a stripe of
beads or a contrasting color cloth down the side.
Beaded moccasins.
He might carry a small round shield of rawhide.
A warpole, a small warclub or a quirt.
A Nez Perce woman would wear:
A cornhusk hat, or a beaded headband or smooth
braids.
A smoked buckskin dress to the ankles, fringed and
with some decorations on the yoke—quill work, corn
husk, beads, elk teeth or small seashells.
Sometimes the dress might be of blue, red or black
flannel, the heavy trade quality.
A beaded belt, two or three inches wide.
Plain moccasins.
Short beaded leggings, eight to ten inches high.
Shell discs on the hair braids at each ear.
Strings of beads around the neck.
A small cornhusk bag on her arm.
A blanket thrown over the back of the saddle, the
ends brought forward to cover the knees and lower
legs.
If she has a baby board, it hangs from the pommel of
the saddle. It is not worn on the back as in some
Plains tribes.
A war bridle, a single thong looped around the lower
jaw, or
A Spanish bit with a beaded headstall.
A beaded collar, usually fringed with bells.
A pad saddle of smoked buckskin
stuffed with buffalo hair.
This was usually beaded on the
corners. Under this was a dark blue,
dark red or dark green saddle blanket, decorated with beads and mirrors
along the edge. The saddle was often covered with a rope of lynx or the
like, hair side out.
A man’s horse could wear a
feather decoration on the head and
another on the tail. No feathers are
allowed on any other part of the
horse.
A man could use a pack saddle
with a heavy robe over it, or he could
use a blanket with a cinch, and fold
the excess blanket back over his legs.
An acceptable modern substitute
for the pack saddle would be an English saddle or a McClellan saddle covered with a blanket or a robe.
Trappings for a woman’s horse
would be:
A beaded bridle with a Spanish
bit.
A beaded collar, with bells.
A saddle made of elkhorn and
rawhide, with a high pommel and
a high cantle, both beaded.
A robe or blanket over the saddle,
but not covering the cantle and
pommel.
An apishamore over the back of
the saddle. These frequently are
heavily beaded and have small
bells.
The long fringes reach
nearly to the ground.
A decorated saddle blanket, similar to the man’s.
A woman’s horse does not have
head and tail decorations.
If we plan to use the old Nez
Perce trappings as our standard, we
might list our material thus:
Best. Old Nez Perce articles in
show condition.
Second. Accurate copies of authentic old articles—
before 1880.
Third. Good articles of period 1880-1910.
Fourth. Accurate copies of such articles.
This schedule, or something similar, adopted by a specific show and distributed to the judges and the entrants
well before show time might solve many of our present
judging problems. It might be well, too, whenever we are
stressing the old Nez Perce items, that the announcer give
the crowd a brief explanation of the standards by which the
class will be judged.

Problems of Type
of his gets. He sired a definite type of animal, often
times his color following through strong.
5. OLD SORREL (King Ranch)—This horse established a definite kind of ranch horse. He did just
what the King Ranch expected of him, a middle of the
road type. He had cow ability, and later proved the
family in the halter classes.
by Cecil Dobbins
Much can be written on type, ever so much discussion will go on from now on out about what it
should be. One thing certain, there will be a handful
of stallions that will control type in our breed, just as
it has in other breeds of horses, cattle, etc. So instead of making such a big thing from this subject it
would be far better to concentrate on the stallion that
will produce type for your own programs. There are
sires within the Appaloosa breed now that are destined to become the greats. These will be the horses
that will be responsible for a family that are outstanding in one or more phases of what horses are
used for. As our rules on type are adequately broad,
now is the time to take advantage of the situation
and go for that one outstanding individual that will
transmit what the majority of folks want in a horse.
We will try to explain how this comes about—using
six head of horses that have become great sires in
the Quarter Horse breed.
Wimpy No. 1—a Grandson of Old Sorrel, is responsible for a family that is a little heavier but with
the King Ranch ability.
6. THREE BARS (TB)—Here is definitely a
speed sire. His offspring hold many track records.
This is an athletic type of family, long muscled, with a
definite pattern. They are winning more and more halter classes. Three Bars is possibly the most sought
after sire in the Nation today.
These six mentioned stallions are all of a different
type. Their families are different, yet they are all doing
a wonderful job for their respective breed. If it were
possible to show these 6 horses in one class the one
thing they would have in common would be that look
of a "SIRE". Remember all stallions are not sires.
Few men have the ability of recognizing a sire until he
is proven. Another thing these horses would have in
common would be conformation. Type would vary,
but what it takes would be there. In this you would
have to select your preference. In selecting a stallion,
first, does he have that something extra? Are his
good points so outstanding that they overshadow his
weak ones. Remember Mother Nature has never allowed a perfect horse, so in your choice you must settle for the near perfect ones she has given us. Now
the Big Goal is for us to produce the Greats. We all
have an equal chance.. Often pride may keep you
from going for the best. If you are bothered by this,
perhaps it would be a benefit if you entered into another business. Again, jealousy often halts progress
in a program. As any successful man will tell you, it
takes guts to progress, and as the Appaloosa business is becoming Big Business lets all work together
for the betterment of the Breed. Work with our Regional clubs and National Club. They need us, and
we need them.
1. POCO BUENO—A good example of establishing type within the breed. He is a sire of cutting
and halter horses. He transmits cow savvy as well as
a natural show horse of a definite pattern; so much
so that his offspring are easily recognized the minute
you see one. They are usually a medium sized
horse, heavily muscled and often brown or dun in
color. Speed has never been emphasized in the
Poco family.
2. JOE HANCOCK (deceased)—The Hancock
family through Joe Hancock have long been known
for their ability as Rodeo Roping horses, as well as
ranch using horses. They are for the most part a rugged type horse, one that stands up under long hauls
and are consistent in what they are called on to do.
Joe Hancock was a speed horse himself, although
he sired speed horses he never gained as much
fame for this as he did for the cowboys kind of a
horse; fast, stout, rugged—the doing kind.
Appaloosa News ~ July, 1960
3. SKIPPER W.—Here is a horse that has that
extra something that everyone wants and only a few
ever come close. The ability to sire champions that
know and show they are Champions. They give the
appearance of — "We Are The Best — What You
Going To Do About It?". Skipper W. created a family
of upstanding, proud, heavily even muscled horses.
Perhaps with a little more length than most families
He sired speed, ability, conformation, color, often
times his get are show in both Palomino and Quarter
classes at the same show.
4. LEO—He gained his fame through the speed

Question: I got one of the finest Navajo Britches fillies you ever saw beaten by an inferior filly of another breed at this County Fair this year. It was
judged by a breeder of the other breed who described my horse as "that Appaloosa kind of thing."
Ouch!
get have done well in racing and all kinds of performance.
Norells Little Red F1673, has been widely used in
Colorado and was owned for a time in Louisiana and
was returned to Colorado this year. His get have shown
well at halter and performance. They have been smooth,
well muscled horses.
Answer: I realize it is painful to have a good Appaloosa
placed under an inferior animal of some other breed by a
breeder of the other breed, however, the important thing
is what the crowd thought of your filly, not what the judge
thought of it. If the crowd liked it and felt you should have
won you are still the winner.
Joker B F678, has been an outstanding performance
horse in short races, roping, dogging and team roping.
His get have shown well at both halter and performance.
He was widely used in Southern California and is now
owned in Texas. His get are well muscled.
A sire which died recently, but had wide influence is
Chief Malheur F1274. He was a rather deep bodied
horse, was a terrific performance horse in both rodeo
and ranch work. His get were characterized by deep
bodies, length and slope to their shoulder and hip, long,
ground covering action, and a lot of endurance and performing ability. He was probably the most popular sire of
stock horses to ever be stood in the state of Oregon.
Question: In the July issue of "Appaloosa News",
under problems of type, you used 6 head of Quarter
Horses that had become great sires in Quarter Horse
breed. What Appaloosa sires, in your opinion, would
classify as these horses for the Appaloosa breed?
Answer: Old sires now dead which formed a line of Appaloosas, were Old Painter, in Western Oregon; Starbuck Leopard, in Colorado; Comanche in Texas; Knobby
in Southeastern Washington and Northern Idaho. Blanco
in Northern California, and Solomon Figoura in Southern
California. These sires are all dead. Some of the sires
which are fifteen years or over, and have had a great
influence on Appaloosas, and have tended to produce
horses which performed well and showed well at halter
are as follows:
Apache F730, probably the greatest of all performance
horses. He has been both National Champion Stallion
and National Champion Performance Horse; Reserve
Champion Performance Horse four different years and
has also won the Premier Sire of Performance Horses
Trophy. His get have a terrific amount of speed as well
as a lot of cutting and reining ability. Apache geldings
are carrying many of the top working cowboys in Southern Idaho and Northern Utah.
Zebra Pal F322 has had wide influence in Montana. His
Patchy F416 has been both National Champion Stallion
and National Champion Performance Horse and has
sired one National Champion Stallion and has also sired
the winner of the Premier Sire of Performance Horses
trophy. His get are quite attractive, having flashy coat
patterns. They are characterized by rather rounded
lines, are easy riding and have adequate speed and are
top performance horses.
21
Picking six outstanding sires is a problem. It would be
difficult to name them all. There are undoubtedly many
younger stallions which will, in time, make their impression in the Appaloosa world. Others have already made
a creditable contribution as a sire, but their get have not
been shown or advertised and therefore, have not been
brought to peoples attention. Everyone feels his own
stallion will be one of the Greats or near Greats.

Appaloosa News ~ October, 1960)

FAHR LOSES LIFETIME
MEMBER & A GREAT FOREIGN
FOUNDATION ADVOCATE
ATTENTION STALLION
OWNERS
On Tuesday, 14 December 2004 our member,
Friedrich Stocker died
by the consequences of a car accident.
It’s
still
hard
to
believe
this
for
us.
Fritz (his friends called him by this name) was one of the
founder of the Austrian Foundation Appaloosa breeders.
He always tried to support the Foundation Appaloosa
Breed in Austria with big ambition. It was also Friedrich
who always brought new knowledge and new bloodlines
to Austria from the United States. We and the entire Appaloosa breed in Austria gained a lot by his experience
in the last years.
For those with FAHR registered stallions and members
using stallions creating FAHR eligible foals, stallion reports for 2004 are now being accepted by the registrar.
FAHR Annual Stallion Breeding Report forms are
available upon request or they can be downloaded from
the FAHR website as well.
There is no current deadline, penalty or fee, for filing
these reports, and, additionally, FAHR is accepting
annual breeding reports for any prior year.
Currently FAHR will still allow a stallion owner to submit
a copy of their ApHC Breeding Report/s in lieu of filing
the FAHR breeding report form.
We lose an always helpful and friendly fellow and a real
friend.
Fritz will always be with us.
