try’s integrity intact. I have no problem with striking a
horse whose is found to be ineligible and will continue to
do what I can to see that it is done when needed.
FROM THE PRESIDENT
As we end a year with such troubled times, I hope
that we can continue to work together toward a
strong promotional effort for the Foundation Appaloosa breed horse. As founder of FAHR, I remain
committed to promoting the horse first and foremost.
Because of such dedicated breeders such as those
that have been represented in the FAHR Tidings, we,
the breeders of today have the ability to educate, promote, and recover a breed that was truly dying. The
article in the last issue of FAHR Tidings by Evelyn
Weber illustrates that she agrees with FAHR on how
generations break down in a pedigree. By reprinting
articles such as hers, I hope to educate our members
and others to the fact that there were people dedicated to the Appaloosa as a breed and that it was a
very strong movement with expert horsemen involved. From 1938 to the early 60’s, there were still
Appaloosas being bred, but as the breed gained favor
with the general public and the race industry got involved, those in charge compromised the breed by
allowing the books to be opened. It turned out to be a
foolish move, as this allowed breeders to indiscriminately breed entire herds of other breeds as well as
unknowns. This is evidenced by the large jump in
numbers during this period and is the point at which I
believe the ApHC lost control of the Appaloosa as a
breed. In retrospect, this was a terrible injustice to
those who remained committed to the Appaloosa as a
breed, of which there weren’t many. Let’s face it,
when it comes down to making wise business decisions, most folks feel it necessary to go with the market. Those who stuck it out and stayed with the breed
and brought their programs through the tough times
should be commended and treated with respect. If
not for them, we wouldn’t have the horses we have
today.
With this issue comes a request for FAHR foundation
breeders to consider running for a seat on the board
of directors. The final term for the original founders is
about to expire, which leaves myself, Jennifer Thomas and Marilyn Yeomans either stepping down or
electing to run for a seat. After giving it much
thought, I have decided it would be best for FAHR if I
step aside and allow others to become involved with
the leadership of the organization. I will remain on
the Executive Council to assure FAHR’s philosophy
and purpose remain unchanged, and I will remain
committed to the promotion of FAHR and the Foundation Appaloosa breed horse. I would very much like to
see others step up to the plate and get involved. For
personal reasons, it has been very much a struggle
for me at times, but I will not ever lose sight of the
purpose for which FAHR was formed . . . To protect,
preserve, perpetuate and promote the bloodlines of
the true Appaloosa horse. I will remain on the
breeder’s advisory committee to help keep the regis-
The article on page 24 and 25 was e-mailed to me by
FAHR member, Rhonda Henning. I thought it was very
worthy to print. FAHR recently received pamphlets and
a video entitled “Look Into Their Eyes” from United Animal Nations which exposes the tragic tale of the Premarin mares and foals as they head from PMU barn to
slaughterhouse and urges women to help stop this
abuse by choosing cruelty-free hormone replacement
alternatives.
“YOU HAVE A CHOICE—HORSES
DON’T!” For more information you can contact United
Animal Nations at: P.O. Box 188890, Sacramento, CA
95818, 916-429-2457, Email: [email protected], www.uan.
org.
When FAHR was formed it was decided (Article VI) that
upon dissolution, all assets would be sold and monies
received would be given to the Make a Wish Foundation. It is a fine organization and at the time, I felt it was
a good idea, however, it has occurred to me after receiving this information about the ‘pee line’ that perhaps
the membership, like myself, would be more interested
in having the remaining assets go to an equine related
cause. After all, horses, not people, are our main focus.
At least, that is how I feel about it. What do you think?
Before closing, I want to take an opportunity to thank
FAHR’s webmaster, Luke Lin, for his continued efforts in
designing and keeping the web pages current. I know
what a sacrifice it is for him to volunteer his personal
time to this effort. He has done a great job and I am
thankful to have him on our team. He has also been a
great help with assisting us to get the newsletter published to online members. For those of you have not
visited the website lately, you should check it out. I find
it interesting that Luke has set the registry up so that
you can search it by state, as well as number, sex, or
alphabetically by the horses’ names. Currently, Washington leads with 61 horses registered. Oregon is second with 60. Indiana comes in third with 57, and Michigan has 48. The next highest state is Tennessee with
19 registered horses. The next BIG step will be getting
pedigrees and photos connected to each horse listed.
I want to thank all who have shown your vote of confidence by renewing your membership with FAHR. I
hope that you will continue to support FAHR; be it advertising, running for a seat on the board, donating your
time at Expos, sharing your thoughts or writing articles.
Whatever positive you choose to do can only help to
make us a stronger force. Thank you for allowing me to
be a part of this effort. It has been a pleasurable experience for the most part.
I wish you all the best for a happy, healthy, safe and
prosperous New Year! Ta—Ta . . .

FROM THE W EBMASTER
I would like to give a special thanks to Arita Harwood who's hard work made getting all 400+ horses in our web-based
registry possible. If you haven't seen it yet, you can find it at:
http://www.foundationapp.org/registry
There are still a few things we need to cleanup, and we still plan on getting all of the pedigrees onto the FoundationApp.org website.
We need your help with the following:
1. If you have a FAHR registered horse, we'd like to post a picture onto the website next to the horse information.
Please send us your pictures (see Sending Pictures section below). Be sure to note the horse's FAHR # and that it is
for "The Registry".
2. We are looking to post any FAHR eligible foals onto a baby pictures section of our website. Everybody loves looking
at babies. Please include horse name, sex, owner name, ranch name, and model year.
3. We have a new section called "Picture of the Month". If you have a great picture of a FAHR horse that you think
would look great on the website homepage, please send it to us. Please be sure to include the horse's FAHR # and
that it is for "Picture of the Month”,
4. We are looking for volunteers who have Microsoft Excel, Microsoft Works, AppleWorks, or a similar spreadsheet
program to help us type in pedigrees from photocopies.
5. Want to get to know other FAHR members? Try out our message board. Just click "Message Board" from the main
FAHR toolbar on the website.

LETTERS & INPUT from Members

Fellow FAHR members:
To those of you involved in putting together the latest
FAHR Tidings (July-Aug., 2001), all I can say is...WOW!!!!
That sums it up...WOW!!!!! What a great issue.
Dear Tom,
To Roger and Vicki Johnson: Congratulations. What an inspiration you
are. You are a credit to our organization and super promoters. I agree that
we should honor the ApHCC.
Boundaries should not matter in the
breeding/registering of FAHR qualifying horses.
I don’t know who Tom is, but just a note to say thank
you for putting Topatchy’s Double on the website.
I was to visit my son and his family today and they located Topatchy on the website.
I raised “Topatchy’s Double” from a colt. I also raised
Topatchy II and rode him in parades and won trophies
with him. I owned Topatchy 1474, as well. I have enjoyed many Appaloosas stallions.
I feel the article on The Money Creek
Ranch went hand in hand with the articles on "High Noon". They both reaffirm that selective breeding to quality bloodlines leads to
success and excellence. Then we get to the letter from
Frank Scripter, and that pretty much sums it all up.
I did dealings with Ed Weber when they lived on Pine
View Farm at Rogers, Minnesota.
I started with Appaloosas back in 1955. Now I am getting older (78 years) and I think I should give it up. I am
alone on the farm. My husband passed away April,
1996 and my first husband passed away of a heart attack in 1974 (Mr. Edgar Holbert).
One final note: I thought Tammy Hoffman did an excellent
job on the Minnesota Horse Expo experience. She eloquently summed up our first visit. My personal highlight(s)
were the John Lyons demonstrations.
It is already time for us to plan next Spring’s Expo. Display boards with photographs of FAHR horses would be
choice.
By the way, last day of
deer season is today. I
got my deer first day.
Yes, I do hunt deer
every year and have a
lot of notches on my
rifle.
Ken Haskins
Member # 175
Thanks again and keep
up the good work.
(Thanks, Ken, for your words of encouragement. We are
happy to know that you appreciated the articles. We
couldn’t agree more with your statement about the Johnsons. They should be an inspiration to all of us. We
agree that Tammy Hoffman did a very nice job on the
Minnesota Horse Expo article, as well. How about it
folks? Let’s take Ken up on his offer to display photos of
FAHR registered horses at next year’s Minnesota Horse
Expo. Please send us a photo of your FAHR registered
horses so that a display can be put together to be used at
all horse expos. Be sure to include the name, sex, FAHR
number, and owner’s name. This is simply just one more
avenue for all of us to be a part of promoting FAHR and
the Foundation Appaloosa breed horse. It sure can’t hurt!
And, it might actually help.)
Sincerely,
Emma Engblom
FAHR Member 152
(You are most welcome Emma. That is what FAHR is
all about. We want to assist all members in the marketing and promotion of their horses. Luke has done a
fantastic job with the new website design and will add
photos of FAHR registered horses as we continue to receive them from members. I am very impressed with
your hunting prowess, and from the looks of the photo
you sent, I don’t doubt those notches one bit.
Thanks for your input.
Tom)

WHY SHOULD YOU SHOW???
by Laura Clifford
Received e-mail 12-18-01
Tom & All Members:
I think the new directive, tightening the registration requirements every few years is good and needed. I
question whether anyone has considered that the time
frame may be too short between tightenings. I know
you can add a couple of generations in that time frame,
but is anyone riding these horses?
There are two main reasons to exhibit your stock: to
prove the horse's abilities and to promote your breeding
program (a.k.a. think sales....).
Many breeders that I have talked to seem to think that it
is too much of a bother and too expensive to show—on
both counts they are wrong. If you don't have the time—
there are MANY young competitors that would jump on
the opportunity to get free use of a good horse! It benefits both sides—the breeder gets points and recognition
for free—and the competitor (who may just not be able
to afford a good horse at this time) gets to win $ or recognition on a borrowed mount! If you have the time—
but money is the issue—go to Saddle or Pony clubs instead of ApHC shows. You can get the same recognition from the ApHC's ACAAP program—but instead of
spending say $400 a weekend—by doing these openshows you'll only be out maybe $20 per night!
I personally like to see each broodmare and stallion
prove to me he or she deserves to be reproduced before I start populating the world with more horses.
I see a lot of people getting lost in adding one more
generation to their horse’s papers. It is important to
keep breeding Appaloosa to Appaloosa, but it cannot
become our only criterion.
Also, I think that a foal from two FAHR parents should
be registered as a FAHR horse, just as a pup out of two
registered Australian Shepherds is registerable as an
Australian Shepherd. That’s what a breed is—two registered parents produce registered offspring.
I also keep hearing from appaloosa breeders that it is
pointless to exhibit in open-shows because they will not
get any business from non-app owners. WELL WHAT
DO YOU EXPECT!! If a future horse buyer sees only
Quarterhorses or Paints at these local shows and always hears that Appaloosas are crazy—HOW CAN WE
EXPECT THEM TO BUY AN APP? But if that same person goes to a horse show and sees JUST ONE appaloosa there—but that horse is whipping everyone else's
rear-end—HE MAY JUST BUY ONE! Also I have found
that after I have beaten a couple of TOP game mares—
THE OWNERS DECIDED TO BREED THEM TO MY
STALLION! (so I've proven that you can get business…)
Just a couple of thoughts.
Sincerely,
Bill Wicklund
FAHR Member #240
(Thanks for your input, ‘Hurricane Bill’. I couldn’t agree
with you more on both counts. We may have gotten
into a bit of a hurry with the 10 year increments, but
that is something that I believe could be adjusted if the
membership feels it is necessary. I also believe that a
foal born to two FAHR registered parents should not
have to jump through hoops to be registered with
FAHR. That is the purpose of a registry. Once both
sire and dam are established as a FAHR horse, the resultant offspring should automatically qualify. There
was much discussion at the membership meeting on
this subject and several members are concerned that if
we drop FAHR’s requirement of the FAHR horse having to be registered with the ApHC, people will stop
registering their horses with the ApHC first. They feel
that FAHR is not yet stable enough and it would just
encourage folks to register only with FAHR in order to
save themselves the BIG ApHC registration fees. However, we do not wish to do it to encourage folks to not
register with the ApHC. Most serious breeders would
not consider dropping their ApHC registrations anyway.
I would not. At this point I cannot promise that FAHR
will always be here. An organization is only as good as
the folks who run it, but I know for one that much work
has been put into this organization and there is much
work planned ahead of us. I hope we can stay viable
and become a driving force in the industry. We need
everyone’s help and support to accomplish our goals!
Tom)
Frankly we cannot expect to get top dollar for our
horses if there IS NO DEMAND! and you cannot count
on your buyers to compete—you've got to do it yourself!
The pool of Appaloosa buyers is constantly shrinking
due to the breed's image problem and only we can
change it!
7
(Efforts at promotion should always be applauded, however, I would have to question what point there is to
standing an Appaloosa breed horse up against Quarterhorses and Paints. I can understand the logic of wanting your Appaloosa breed horse to be seen, but would
not want my Appaloosas to be judged by Quarterhorse
standards. When it comes to contested events where
the clock is the judge or all-breed events such as roping
and reining, I am all for that and would encourage anyone to get involved because I believe our horses can
excel in these areas. On the other hand, if you want to
stand your FAHR registered horse against my FAHR
registered horse at a FAHR sanctioned show, I am all
for that, too!

Fahr #321, JoJo’s Black Cloud
does excellent job in open showing
JoJos Black Cloud, FAHR #321, has amassed 108.0 ACAAP points since April 2001! 50.5 Western Pleasure, 13.5
Halter, 17.5 Games, 17.5 English Pleasure and 7 in Barrels. He is in line for 3 Merits of Achievement, 1 Merit of Superior Achievement and entry into the ACAAP Masters! As of 9/14/01 he is #1 in Western Pleasure and #9 in English
Pleasure—World Wide!!! And, he is not showing any signs of slowing down. What makes it even more impressive is
that he was purchased in October, 2000 as an unhandled two-year old colt! JoJos Black Cloud is a Stallion and his
owner is Laura Clifford from Burns, Tennessee.
Update—as of 11-18-01 JoJos Black Cloud has earned the following: Western Pleasure 110.5, English Pleasure 31.0,
Halter 35.5 - Did our last show this weekend so when ACAAP gets those forms it should add an additional 26 to Western Pleasure, 6 to Halter, 3 to English Pleasure, 6 to Western Equitation, 3 to English Equitation, and 9 to Trail. He
should end 2001 with over 250 points total, as long as we don't have to show anymore to maintain our #1 status in
Western Pleasure (I'm just a tad bit competitive, aren't I?....)
I've just checked the ACAAP standings and did not realize it, but Blackie is showing up in the Games top ten, as well. It
is hard to believe, but we somehow managed to get 69.5 points in poles and barrels WITHOUT ever placing first. It is
truly amazing what you can do when you concentrate NOT on your time, but on ACCURACY (A.K.A. not disqualifying
by hitting a barrel or pole). Funny thing is our best time this year was like 14.7 with the faster horses going 12.5, but
most of 'em ended up disqualifying. Next year I plan to actually PUSH him and go to some major money competitions.
Then we will be up against not 30 horses, but 300 horses and will have to be BOTH accurate and FAST!!!!!
It is like that with Halter, Western Pleasure and English Pleasure—honestly we have come in second and third place a
heck of a lot more often than first (and when we hit the State show we were HAPPY to make it through the first cut of
70 horses, but ended up NOT placing in the top ten). BUT, when you've done something like 60+ shows, the points
add up. What I am trying to point out is that ANYONE with the energy and interest can do what Blackie and I have
done. But you have to be willing to ask the Judges, as well as fellow competitors, what you did wrong and how you can
improve. And, be able to laugh when half the time you'll hear—"Sell the Appaloosa and buy a Quarter Horse...."
I must tell FAHR members that he is the FIRST Appaloosa that I have EVER owned—because of this one horse I have
been selling off my Thoroughbred stock one by one and searching for 80% or better young Appaloosa mares. They are
VERY hard to locate within a reasonable driving distance! But, I have found TWO this year; Snappy Dragon, FAHR
127 (approx. 90% Foundation) a Bronze medallion winner from Happy Appy Acres and King’s Go Mighty Lady (approx.
80% Foundation) from Steed Appaloosas (coincidentally, I gave them FAHR brochures because they were interested).
As soon as I get their papers back from the ApHC, I will be transferring and registering them with FAHR, too!
His first crossbred babies are already here—and as good as they look, we KNOW these Foundation foals will only surpass them.
(You go girl! Yes, Laura, you are a tad bit competitive and we are always glad to hear about it. Thank you for submitting your very impressive show record. Perhaps it will give other members the incentive to do something, too.)

THE HEART OF THE APPALOOSA
BY FRED
SMALL
From the land of shooting waters to the peaks of the Coeur d'Alene
Thimbleberries in the forest, elk grazing on the plain
The People of the Coyote made their camp along the streams
Of the green Wallowa Valley when fences had no name.
And they bred a strain of horses, the treasure of the tribe
Who could toe-dance on a ridge or gallop up a mountainside
Who could haul the hunter's burden, turn a buffalo stampede
The horse that wore the spotted coat was born with matchless speed.
CHORUS:
Thunder Rolling in the Mountains
Lead the People across the Great Divide
There's blood on the snow in the hills of Idaho
But the heart of the Appaloosa never died.
In the winter came the crowned ones near frozen in the cold
Bringing firearms and spyglasses and a book that saves the soul
The people gave them welcome, nursed them till their strength returned
And studied the talking paper, its mysteries to learn.
In the shadow of the mission sprang up farms and squatter towns
The plain was lined with fences, the plow blade split the ground
In the shallows of the Clearwater gold g littered in the pan
And the word would come from Washington: remove the Indian.
CHORUS
The chief spoke to the People in his anger and his pain
"I am no more Chief Joseph. Rolling Thunder is my name.
They condemn us to a wasteland of barren soil and stone
We shall fight them if we must, but we will find another home."
They fled into the Bitterroot, an army at their heels
They fought at White Bird Canyon, they fought at Misery Hill
Till the colonel saw his strategy and sent the order down
To kill the Appaloosa wherever it be found.
CHORUS
Twelve hundred miles retreating, three times over the Divide
The horse their only safety, their only ally
Three thousand Appaloosas perished with the tribe
The people and the horses dying side by side.
Thunder Rolling in the Mountains said, "my heart is sick and sad.
Our children now are freezing. The old chiefs they are dead.
The hunger take our spirit. Our wounds are deep and sore.
From where the sun now stands I shall fight no more."
CHORUS
This was sent to us by FAHR
member, Linda Hamburg. If you
have never heard it sung, you
are missing out. It is a beautiful
song—one that will give you
goose bumps and bring tears to
your eyes all at the same time.
Thank you, Linda, for making a
contribution!
They were sent to Oklahoma, malaria ran rife
But more died of broken hearts far from the land that gave them life
And the man once called Joseph at death was heard to say
"We have given up our horses. They have gone away."
But sometimes without warning from a dull domestic herd
A spotted horse of spirit wondrous will emerge
Strong it is and fearless and nimble on a hill
Listening for thunder, the Appaloosa's living still.
CHORUS

Frank Scripter Memorial Scholarship Fund Winner Named
FAHR is proud to announce that FAHR member, Michele Graham, meets the requirements necessary to receive a
scholarship award in memory of FAHR’s co-founder, Frank Scripter. Michele has been granted the amount of $200 to
assist with her second semester of a Horse Management Program at Michigan State University. Michele joined FAHR
as a youth member in March, 2000 and registered her mare, Rockalena Not, FAHR 272. She has since become an
adult member. She submitted her application for the Frank Scripter Memorial Scholarship Fund July 4, 2001 and included the following information about herself and her mare along with it:
I bought my first horse at the age of 14 from Frank Scripter, I have owned Rockalena Not (FAHR No. 272) since
she was five months old, and have taught her everything she knows. For her first year and a half I taught groundwork,
I started with whoa, walk, trot and back-up in various orders while I was leading her. Next we moved on to the lounge
line—walk and trot and Iessons on ground driving. At the age of two years old she had mastered these small goals,
and it was now time to teach her these lessons again with someone (me!) on her back. For the next year we both
learned the western seat for walk/trot. At shows, I have many people complimenting me on the training I have done
and my horse's wonderful manners. At the age of three, I was wary of her joints still not being fully closed and so for
our second year of showing we both learned the discipline of Hunt Seat at walk/trot. I also completed a Vet Science
project on the Foundation Appaloosa Horse Registry (enclosed is a copy). This year we have spent three months
working on canter and one month on jumping. I am currently leading in points for my section for points towards State
4H Show. Further proof that Foundation Appaloosas definitely are sweet tempered, willing to please, and are very intelligent.
This fall I will begin a two-year program of Horse Management Program at Michigan State University. At completion of this program, among the options I am considering, is attending a farrier school or continuing my studies at Michigan State to obtain a 4 year degree in Animal Science with a horse emphasis.
I am really looking forward to next Spring when Rockalena Not and I will begin our own breeding program of Foundation Appaloosas.
The past four years has brought insight to what I would like to do with my life. I have found that I am extremely interested in working with young horses and people (young and old) that are new to the horse industry in a manner that
stresses safety, patience and strong fundamentals. You are invited to come and visit my breeding and training facility
in 6-10 years!
Thank you for your consideration of a scholarship to aid in my endeavors.
The above is a very nicely done picture pedigree of Michele’s FAHR mare, Rockalena Not.

Hi - This is my horse Rockalena NOT. You may not recognize her as an Appaloosa, but she is, and I'd like to tell
you some of her story.
Her story begins in June 1877, in the northwestern territory of the United States, where four white men of the US
military shot down three men of Chief Joseph's Nez Perce tribe. This was the beginning of a 1300 mile battle that zigzagged to Bear Paw Idaho, about 30 miles south of the Canadian border. Most helpful to moving the Nez Perce and
their belongings during this battle was a packhorse known as the Appaloosa.
The Appaloosa, bred by generations of Nez Perce, is known for it's companionship, endurance, conformation, willingness to perform, and lastly, spectacular coloring. The Appaloosa is the oldest North American breed of horse. Sadly,
the defeat of the Nez Percez at Bear Paw marked the end of an era of the Appaloosa.
The demise of the Appaloosa continued into the 1930's until the Appaloosa Horse Club (ApHC) was formed to prevent this American breed from being lost forever. Since there were so few purebred Appaloosa left in existence, the Appaloosa was crossbred with Thoroughbreds and Morgans, but mainly Quarter horses. The result sometimes being a
horse with Appaloosa coloring that is still actually a Thoroughbred, Morgan or Quarter horse.
Concerns that the demise of the Appaloosa breed continues, in spite or because of the efforts of the ApHC. the
Foundation Appaloosa Horse Registry (FAHR) was formed in 1997. There are only an estimated 2500 horses that will
meet the four requirements of Foundation Registry.
The first requirement of FAHR is that a horse must be of known heritage with 75% or greater Appaloosa bloodline.
The second requirement is that the horses exhibit no known Paint characteristics such as glass eye, bald face, overo or
tobiano markings, or tall white stockings. Thirdly, the presence of the Hyperkalemic Periodic Paralysis (HyPP) gene,
which is only descended from the quarter horse stallion Impressive, will disqualify a horse from FAHR. Horses carrying
the HyPP gene are sometimes severely affected by cardiac arrest, respiratory failure, collapse, muscle tremors and
weakness or even paralysis. Some milder symptoms such as restlessness, dullness or depression, hard or twitching
muscles, stiff gait, or irregular breathing will occur. The last requirement is the absence of what is called the greying
gene. A horse carrying this gene can be born with spectacular coloring but within a year or two become a solid white or
grey.
"The general appearance of the Foundation Appaloosa should be symmetrical and smooth, with a clean throatlatch, prominent and well defined withers, short appearing back and sloping hip, deep hearthgirth and long under line,
long sloping shoulders with a deep chest (not excessively wide), short and flat cannon bones, medium long and sloping
pasterns, their way of going is ground covering (not choppy), smooth and easy. Most are 14 -16 hands with some as
tall as 17 hands. F AHR makes no distinction between a colored or a solid coat pattern.” 1
Appaloosa horses are the oldest breed in North America. They want to become again who they once were, a true
Appaloosa breed, and they need your help. Please help to preserve these beautiful horses by becoming part of the registry. Write, e-mail, visit our web site or call for more information. "FAHR believes a foundation Appaloosa breed horse
can perform most any task that is asked of them,” 2

Red Eagle’s Peacock F1476
An Anthology of Fact and Fame
by Suzanne V. Pabst
“STARZA” IN MY EYES
The first week of March 1994, an ice storm swept through the Blue Ridge Mountains in Charity, Virginia where my
considerably smaller Old Spring Farm relocated in 1983. The storm snapped pines which tore down electrical wires
statewide on its devastating course. With gravity-flow water, a wood stove for heat, plenty of food in two 22 cubic foot
freezers, and a gas range on which to cook, I have learned to be self sufficient.
The animals had all been put up until the storm had passed and thawing began, but the power was expected to be
out for a week or more in my remote area. Fortunately, a generator keeps the freezers going during emergencies.
When it gets dark, I go to bed. It ceases to be fun after the first day or so, but I get by.
The problem was, I had plans to attend Earl Burchett’s Dispersal Sale in Georgia on the 5th of March and the
storm had closed airports from Virginia to upstate New York where long-time friend, Dianne Lindeborn was stranded.
With the determination of the fifteen year old I once had been, I arranged for a neighbor to come over to run the generator once a day, threw extra hay out for my two broodmares and 21 year old Enduro, and then drove to Charlotte,
North Carolina where Dianne, on a standby flight from New York, was awaiting me. Equally determined to make the
sale, she had wheedled the last seat on a Charlotte flight. I parked my truck and trailer in a non parking area directly in
front of the terminal amid stern stares, turned on the hazard lights, and five minutes later with Dianne aboard, together
we continued the five hour trip to the sale for one reason—–
To bid on a yearling colt out of that grand old matriarch, dam of 8 Bronze Medallion winners, Starza’s Pine ApHC
#125,589 granddaughter of Peacock’s Miraklman. Of her 13 foals, 10 have been fillies and only one Appaloosa to Appaloosa stallion—MINE!
In partnership with Barry Albert, owner of Alan-Brooke Farms in Ashland, Virginia, who has already put 2 1/2 points
on “our” colt in limited showing, we have long range plans to showcase him in performance classes with hopes he will
be as versatile as his blood indicates. Alan-Brooke stood Starza’s World Champion son, Tardee Pine for owner Anna
Newman prior to the stallion’s sale. Barry shares a strong belief in the versatility of Starza’s foals to hold their own at
halter, perform, and ultimately be producers of the same and will give our colt the chance to prove his ability.
Although, I remember Sin-O-Man’s registration number with the same clarity as my social security number, the Appaloosa breed has come a long way from my first Appaloosa’s number of T-1634 to my new stallion’s number of
520,406. In the interim from 1956 to 1994, I have come full circle.
I am no longer that fifteen year old with stars in my eyes. Red Eagle’s Peacock fulfilled my youthful dreams and
images of those California stallions by one day becoming a reality. My twenty-five acre farm is small compared to what
I have known, but my ambition and dreams have not waned.
Red Eagle’s Peacock is gone, but today his blood lives on in his great-great grandson. Foaled April 14, 1993,
“Whata Dreamfinder” ApHC 520,406, by Dreamfinder, is a dark bay with a spotted blanket. A small star in the middle
of his forehead is reminiscent of Red Eagle’s Peacock’s. The resemblance ends there. I realize that Whata Dreamfinder is 4 generations removed from Peacock, and that other blood will contribute and influence his greatness. I also
know that the value of a pedigree depends upon the merit of the individuals recorded and with Red Eagle’s Peacock
behind him, he has a head start. The irony is that others have noted our colt’s promise and offers have been tendered
and considered. Whether Whata Dreamfinder ultimately fulfills our expectations or those of others, only time will tell.
In the meantime, our dreams are unfulfilled wishes and as such are priceless.
I have hopes breeding I’m Enlove ApHC 492,446 (CFS Rushin Roulet ApHC 271,853 x Enrequest ApHC #447,529
12
out of Endear Riker ApHC 253,002) to Whata Dreamfinder, a cross that has already captured my fantasy. I’d like to
think this cross has the potential magic to produce one more Mirakl.
THE NEW GENERATION
I got up early so I could watch the halter classes at a 1993 Appaloosa Show in Virginia. Old Spring Farm relocated
to the state in 1983, and although I was no longer a stallion owner, I liked to keep in touch with what stallions were being shown. My eye was drawn to a snowy white colt with a few spots on his side. He was a decent colt and distinctly
different from others in his class. I was curious how the judge would use him. He was straight legged, long necked
and something about him was reminiscent. When the placings were announced, I knew it was the blood of Red Eagle’s Peacock that made his great-grandson, Heavens Red Eagle ApHC #499,217, so familiar.
On July 31, 1994, at the Lee-Jackson Classic in Richmond, Virginia, I saw him again. As a three year old, he was
bigger and better. After “Champs” class (as he is optimistically named), I talked to owner and breeder Felix Campos
and his wife Kathy who shows Champ in the Non-Pro Division. Felix recounted breeding his mare Table Lace ApHC
#87,300 (a Kaw-Liga F-1725 grandaughter) to Red Eagle’s Peacock in 1976 when he stood at stud at Old Spring Farm
in Connecticut. The resultant filly, Red Eagle’s Rascal ApHC T-257,990 was foaled 5-28-77. She was a brown roan,
white with brown spots over body and hips. She was Peacock’s last registered filly. Bred to Roman Jet ApHC
#134,744 (Hayes Roman Cloud ApHC #61,182 x Top Etta ApHC #52,197), she produced the filly Roman Eagle ApHC
T-364,754.
In 1990, Roman Eagle was bred to Heaven Forbid ApHC #383,661 (Mighty Paul ApHC #51,858 by Mighty Bright x
Honky Tonk ApHC #272,443 a Bright Eyes Brother granddaughter). When she foaled Heavens Red Eagle, he was
anything but a buckskin, blanketed image of his attractive sire. “Champ”, a near leopard had his own look and that look
was the “Look of Eagles”.
Thus far, Heavens Red Eagle has 18 lifetime open points. Shown by Bambi Thomas, Champ is currently 4th in the
National Point Standings for Three Year Old Stallions. At the 1994 National, he was 4th in Non-Pro Three Year Old
Stallions shown by Kathy Campos. In addition to standing him at stud, the Campos’ have plans to show Heavens Red
Eagle in both English and Western Pleasure classes.
Nearly twenty years ago, Felix eloquently wrote, “Of all the Appaloosa studs I have ever seen or read about, only
one has ever remained in my mind—That is Red Eagle’s Peacock”.
Back at the Lee-Jackson classic, as I said my goodbyes, Felix thanked me for giving him his start with Appaloosas.
What a generous and wonderful compliment to hear after all these years. But, I have to share the credit with Red Eagle’s Peacock. To whatever heights we excelled in the Appaloosa business, Peacock did it all. We had a hope and we
had a dream, but most of all, we had Red Eagle’s Peacock.
I’m sure I speak for the entire FAHR staff and membership in thanking Suzanne Pabst for providing us with this
wonderful series on Red Eagle’s Peacock and the Red
Eagle strain. It illustrates what a fantastic bloodline it
truly is. They are still competing and winning today. I
truly believe that Claude Thompson would be proud of
the ‘Eagles’ being bred and foaled today. I hope these
types of articles will give folks the confidence to invest
their time, effort, and resources in promoting the wonderful Foundation Appaloosa breed horses that are being
produced today. In addition, I thought it was only appropriate to print Suzanne Pabst’s eulogy of Red Eagle’s
Peacock at the end of this series. It follows on the next
four pages and is from the August, 1977 Appaloosa
News.

Red Eagle’s Peacock F-1476, the
1956 national champion, died May 16,
1977. He had just turned 24 years old.
Red Eagle’s
Peacock
1953-1977
From his foaling in Pomona, Calif.,
to his final resting place in Woodbury,
Conn., Peacock had lived a storybook
life. His photo graced Lee Arlandson’s
book for Farnam Know the Appaloosa
Horse. His seven owners of distinction
shared in common the feeling Peacock
was a unique individual. It is through
their recollections and his get that Peacock will be remembered.
Bob Pabst’s breeding program at
Old Spring Farm in Connecticut centered around the stallion and was
brought to an end by Peacock’s
death from cancer. Although Peacock has had several prominent owners, no one really “owned” Peacock.
He was always aloof. I’d like to think
Claude J. Thompson, founder of the
Appaloosa Horse Club and breeder
and first owner of Red Eagle’s Peacock, knew just how aptly the dark
bay “peacock” spotted stallion was
named.
Red Eagle’s Peacock
An Appaloosa Pace-setter For Two Decades
By SUE PABST
Conventionally, the peacock is
regarded as a symbol of vanity with
an inclination to strut. Peacock personified this trait. His attitude was
characteristically one of superiority
yet his manners were faultless. He
was an authoritative gentleman when
breeding and easily handled by a
woman. His proud forebearing made
him arrogant around another stallion,
but no one was going to change his
nature at this stage of his life so his
jealousy was indulged.
He was
“number one;” he knew it and demanded you know it and respect him
likewise. Peacock always did things
his way.
He was an actor, much to our
embarrassment and irritation at
times. Instead of getting bored with
the many visitors who came to see
him, Peacock considered each one a
challenge. He would pin his ears
back, snarl sometimes—all purposely done until you brought him
out of his stall to prove he wasn’t the
“killer” he effectively portrayed.
Once out of his stall Peacock strutted
his namesake, arched his long
graceful neck and, likely as not,
whinnied as he passed his stablemates.
Peacock enjoyed posing for pho-
tos as long as he could keep a
watchful eye on the barn. It was not
uncommon for visitors to ask to hold
his lead-shank and have their photo
taken with him. One even asked to
ride him, but Bob Pabst was the only
one who rode Peacock during his
Connecticut years.
Until his last two weeks, Peacock’s age never showed except for
a slight dip in his back. I first realized Peacock wasn’t right when he
went off his grain. Outwardly he
looked fat and sassy. Little did we
know that inwardly cancer was taking
its irreversible toll. Blood tests confirmed our suspicions. On medication he rallied briefly, but we now
knew that what we were dealing with
was fatal and Peacock’s days were
numbered.
We chose to let Peacock live out
his days, hoping to get what would
be his last mares in foal. He was
quieter and anxious at times, but he
never once stopped being proud.
Our knowing what Peacock did not,
made each trip to the barn painful for
us. We wished Peacock would just
once outstretch his graceful head to
be admired from a distance.
I
thought it just wasn’t possible he was
dying. He still looked like the cham14
pion he was.
His was the first whinny in the
morning at feeding time although
he no longer ate anything but a little grass. If he suffered any the
only visible sign was a slow but
steady weight loss. I led him outside his last day and he watched
and whinnied while I put his mares
and foals out. Then there was silence. He had chosen his spot and
lay down where the grass was
coolest, something he seldom if
ever did in the daytime and never
in your presence.
He had a full life, paralleling for
the last 24 years what his breeder,
Claude J. Thompson, thought the
Appaloosa could be—a horse of
great beauty, intelligence and ability. Red Eagle’s Peacock justified
Thompson’s faith. He was all this
and much more. He sparked the
imagination of children and adults
alike. Peacock had a matinee idol
quality, as unique to the breed as
he was distinct in type. It was this
quality he projected.
He received fan letters and had
a loyal following. Some sent him
sugar, others Christmas cards. He
had visitors through the years from
all over the United States and Australia and I don’t think anyone ever
left disappointed at seeing Red Eagle’s Peacock in the flesh.
Red Eagle’s Peacock poses at 20 years of age for a fan at the Opportunity ‘73 Show
“Of all the Appaloosa studs I
have ever seen or read about, only
one has ever remained in my mind;
that is Red Eagle’s Peacock F1476.” Felix Campos, Norristown,
Pa.
“I believe Red Eagle’s Peacock
is one of, if not the greatest horse
ever produced in the Appaloosa
breed.” Mrs. Robert W. Foster,
Milo, Mo.
“A couple of years ago I cut an
advertisement out of the Appaloosa
News for Peacock and have used it
to compare stallions which I have
considered for my breeding program. I agree, there is little room
for improvement.”
Mrs. Terry
Kenifect, Charlevois, Mich.
“While my mare was still a
weanling, I picked out your Red Eagle’s Peacock as my number one
choice if I were ever to breed her.
He certainly lives up to his pictures
and I was particularly impressed by
his apparent soundness and clean
leggedness at his age. I feel the
worst we could come out with is a
duplicate of the mare and there appears to be every chance of considerable improvement over her.
Well, time will tell. You might whisper in his ear that after improving
her head, neck, withers, size and
chest; while maintaining the soundness and straight legs; I would
adore a leopard filly. Is this too
much to ask?” Irene Wetzel, Old
Tappan, N.J. (Her mare foaled a sorrel blanketed filly in 1976.)
These comments and numerous
others were typical of the emotion
Peacock evoked and continued to
evoke all his life.
Peacock was well-trained, having been ridden and shown in stock
horse classes as a 4 and 5-year-old
by Bob Hawkins of Norco, Calif.
When Peacock was 7, Bob Hawkins
was to become his second owner.
Bob had shown Peacock as a
yearling for Claude Thompson, although it was Thompson who
showed Peacock to his national
championship in 1956. Bob Hawkins
recalls Peacock as the most classic
of Appaloosas and stood the stallion
at stud until his purchase by the syndicate of three Californians, Carroll
Shelby, Ralph Eisman and Dany
Lackety in 1967. Their Terlingua Appaloosas became a prominent name
in the business.
Shelby’s game had been fast
cars and included a highly respected
Grand Prix win at Le Mans, France,
development of the Shelby Cobra
and Mustang for the Ford Motor Co.
and a 25 percent ownership of na15
tional champion Red Eagle’s Peacock. Peacock did the syndicate
proud, breeding some 50 mares for
them. In so doing he disproved the
belief he had bred all the mares he
was going to get in the Los Angeles
area as he’d been around for a number of years (see p. 16, Jan. 1970
Appaloosa News).
With the dissolution of the
Lackey, Shelby and Eisman syndicate the stage was set for Harv
Holmquist of Tacoma, Wash., to step
in and become the sixth owner of
Peacock in 1971. Little did Harv and
his wife know that at the time they
were looking for stud service for their
mares they were destined to make
an even better deal.
Peacock’s Washington years
were productive with an impressive
number of mares coming to the court
of the 18-year-old stallion. Harv and
his wife Jeanette shared the now
common feeling Peacock projected;
that he was in a class by himself.
In 1973 we were to know firsthand what was meant when it was
said of Peacock that he had such a
look of wisdom you thought him beyond the class of a horse. That year
we became Peacock’s final owners.
For Bob and me, buying Peacock was a natural outgrowth of our
breeding program which since its inception in the ‘60’s had at its nucleus
the blood of twice national champion
Red Eagle. Statistics showed Red Eagle to be the leading sire of national
champions in the major divisions
through 1971. At his death that year at
age 25 he commanded a $1,000 stud
fee. A 1972 survey appearing in Appaloosa News showed the Red Eagle
bloodline third nationwide in popularity
and saleability.
We were not interested in just
breeding horses of the Red Eagle
bloodline. We had a bigger purpose,
to breed a “modern” Appaloosa of this
bloodline which had appeal to the
breeders and buyers of today’s Appaloosas.
We had leased Peacock’s
Miraklman F-2190, a son of Red Eagle’s Peacock, from John Lueders in
1972. A black leopard, Miraklman was
very much like Peacock in type but had
a more muscular hindquarter. His dam
was Painter’s Marvel F-47, the dam of
Red Eagle.
Miraklman turned out to sire foals
of high quality and excellent color.
What Miraklman did was to whet our
appetite for his sire, Red Eagle’s Peacock. If Peacock’s get were themselves good producers, then wasn’t
that what the breeding business was
all about? We were hooked on Peacock’s ability as a sire and considered
the East Coast an untapped market for
him.
With the 1973 breeding season
approaching, we did not think it possible that owning Peacock could ever
become a reality. He was already an
old horse of 20. We proposed a lease
agreement to the Holmquists but the
cost of insuring a 20-year-old stallion
was prohibitive; the alternative was to
purchase Peacock outright.
Ours was an expensive gamble
with no guarantee as to its success.
All we hoped for was that Peacock
would complete that one breeding season. Not only did he pay for himself
the first season, but gave us a bonus
of four additional seasons as well.
I remember the champagne toast
upon Peacock’s arrival in New York by
jet from Seattle, Wash., on March 4,
1973. A caravan of friends had driven
to Kennedy International Airport to see
Peacock disembark from the Flying Tiger jet.
The day before, Peacock had
made his last public appearance in
Peacock’s Angel, a daughter
of Red Eagle’s Peacock, was

the Calizona Appaloosa Club
for three years.

by Frank Evans, competes in
the trail class at the 1967
World Championship Show.
Washington state where he was
honored in a stallion parade.
Flashbulbs went off when it was
announced Peacock was leaving
the next day for Connecticut. It
was a happy moment, and a sad
moment, but befitting the magnitude of its celebrity. Appaloosa
News flew its editor to Seattle to
photograph Peacock’s departure.
(see p. 30, May 1973 Appaloosa
News.)
“A noted stallion and faith in
his ability to sire competitive Appaloosas.” That became our slogan
and criteria for success, and Red
Eagle’s Peacock’s get continue to
prove its validity.
Peacock’s accomplishments
as a sire made him the most important son of Red Eagle F-209.
As a sire, Red Eagle’s Peacock
attained what many sought. His
get excelled in all areas of competition. He sired state, regional,
national and world champions.
His get and grandget found their
way to the track, to the arena and
into the hearts of their owners.
It was Bob Hawkins’ contention that Peacock’s true measure
was in his daughters. He considered Peacock to be one of the
breed’s foremost brood mare
sires.
With the advent of Appaloosa
To whatever heights we excelled in the Appaloosa business,
Peacock did it all. We had a hope and a dream, but most of all
we had Red Eagle’s Peacock . . .
Peacock’s foals literally sold
themselves; many sold sight unseen over the phone. Had he lived
to be 50, I am confident there
would always have been a Peacock fan and a greater demand
than supply for his foals.
During the five seasons we
stood Peacock at stud he bred
over 60 mares from 14 states, from
Texas to Maine. His stud fee rose
steadily from $300 to $1,000 at the
time of his death. In 1977 Peacock
stood his 22nd year at stud.
16
racing many of Peacock’s daughters proved valuable as brood
mares. They came by this naturally; little known to many was the
fact that Peacock’s dam, Easter
F-33, was a double-bred daughter of the Thoroughbred Bayards
Sun by the imported Bayard II.
The linebreeding of Red Eagle’s Peacock to daughters of
national champion American Eagle was a successful nick. Both
Peacock and American Eagle
were sired by Red Eagle and out
of prepotent producing dams.
American Eagle was the first win-

ner of the highly sought Bearstep Katouche and went
on to become champion stallion of the 1953 National
at Quincy, Calif.
Blue Admiral, out of Little Dutchess F-1590,
amassed the most extensive show record of any of
Peacock’s get. Ridden and shown by the well known
Frank Evans, “The Admiral” under different owners
achieved four consecutive world championships. This
striking stallion was the 1966 world champion performance horse, the 1967 world champion trail horse,
the 1968 world champion English pleasure saddle
seat horse and the 1969 reserve world champion performance horse. Blue Admiral is now owned by California’s Bar D Bar Ranch. Admiral’s Image, sired by
Blue Admiral, gave proof to the adage “like begets
like” when she was first out of 164 entries in the ladies’ Western pleasure class at the 1976 National Appaloosa Show in Oklahoma.
On a lighter note, Peacock’s Comanchero, a
1962 blanketed gelded son reserve national champion halter mare American Marvel (by American Eagle) was a double for Cojo Rojo in the Marlon Brando
movie “The Appaloosa.” His play acting followed a
tough act as a halter and performance stallion.
Tinker’s Peacock, a Peacock son out of the
ApHC mare Tinker Bell Day, had as his dam the
American Horse Show Association’s horse of the year
1963-64 and reserve grand champion trail horse, all
breeds. Trained by George Minic, Tinker’s Peacock
defeated such notables as High Bar in his show career. He is now owned by California State Polytechnic College, the first Appaloosa ever donated to CalPoly.
Red Eagle’s Joker, out of Joker’s Topps by Joker
B., was Washington state halter, English pleasure
and senior trail champion; eastern Washington champion at halter, English pleasure, Western pleasure
and trail; and winner of the coveted Washington State
Horsemen’s president’s cup for the best Appaloosa
English pleasure horse in all-breed English classes.
All these accomplishments were won in 1971, the first
time Red Eagle’s Joker was ever ridden into a show
ring. He was ridden and trained by an amateur, Larry
Mumaw, Spokane, Wash.
I remember watching Peacock’s son Red Boy M.F.,
out of Cricket M.F. F-1868 by Tony Boy F-1108, at the
1973 National. At 11 years of age and after a five year
layoff, “Red” resumed his show career. With only 30
days training by 19-year-old Cindy Stocking, Red won a
close second in the senior saddle seat competition defeating world champions Prince’s Mac and CGM Mighty
High. In 1974 Red was the world champion saddle
seat horse and earned Red Eagle’s Peacock at 21
years of age the high accolade of medallion sire.
What did Peacock mean to me? It can best be
said in these words taken from a poem by friend Allen
L. Bird:
Flights into the sky of my mind,
dreams that ease my soul,
are not just shared
but are made
by my horse.
17
What did Red Eagle’s Peacock mean to Bob
Pabst? As we buried Peacock and the nameplates
which till that day had identified his stall, it was obvious.
It was the one time during all the years we had had him
that we knew the extend of our feeling for Peacock.
Bob’s answer was simply, “He did a lot for me.” Later
he turned to me and said he was sorry, but he wanted
to be by himself.
Bob’s plans include a marker to the memory of
Peacock whose grave on the highest point of a clover
lot is in view of the farm with its Civil War barns. It is
not hard to envision Peacock keeping up his vigil over
that which he was so much a part.
To whatever heights we excelled in the Appaloosa
business, Peacock did it all. We had a hope and a
dream, but most of all we had Red Eagle’s Peacock . . .

TOBY II’S PATCHY F1439
The Get of Toby II’s Patchy No. F1439
Late this winter Toby II’s Patchy
returned to his native state of Idaho
at the age of 14 years. He stood in
the northwest as a young stud, then
in U.S. and moving to New England.
A winter time move two years ago
took him to southern California via
the deep south. He has had a total
of eight owners and the average of
his various sale prices is a four figure price—something few stallions
maintain over a long period of time.
He was sired by Toby II #F113
out of a mare sired by Patchy
#F416, who was a “kissin’ cousin” of
the Toby family. Of all the aged
Toby stallions remaining, he is most
like his grandsire, the immortal Toby
I.
Only two of his sons are shown
to give more space to succeeding
generations. They are P.O. Poco
Patch and Toby II’s Patchy’s
Cochise. Cochise was out of Morgan’s Papyrus, a Dan Morgan bred
mare from Montana by Leopard Cortez.
A full brother to Cochise sired
Domino Speckled Prince, who is the
sire of Sunrise Little Beaver, Little
Beaver reverted more to the Toby
color pattern.
Cochise was mated several
times to Livin Doll, a great-

granddaughter of Morgan’s Cheetah
who was a half sister to his dam
Morgan’s Papyrus. Cheetah produced Simcoes Sarcee (by Simcoe’s
Chinook, who goes back to old
Knobby without a Toby or Patchy
sire in his pedigree), the sire of Simcoe’s Secoma (out of the dam of
Storm Cloud F and Simcoe’s Chinook), who was the sire of Livin Doll.
When drawn out, this is a rather
impressive pedigree, and the results
bear out the reading of the record.
Two of these Chochise-Livin Doll
produce are Livin Doll’s Bunny and
Elmer Gantry. Two more typical Appaloosas would be hard to find.
These animals do have class and
refinement which was developed
within the breed rather than going
outside as many do, and thereby
eclipse of full-blown Appaloosa character.
This breeding program blends
the Toby cross with Dan Morgan
leopard bloodlines. Similar successful series could be made with Toby
studs and Red Eagle, Patchy and
Apache bloodline mares.
Toby II’s Patchy now has his
headquarters at Bert Russell’s ranch
at Harrison, Idaho, and serves as a
back-up stud for selected matings
for the Toby Breeder’s Association.

March 7, 1963, Quinta Chief,
Grand Champion Appaloosa Stallion
died. His owners, Ben Hardister and
Richard Tam of Quinta Appaloosa
Farms, Oakland, California, built an
entire empire around him and valued
their champion horse in the vicinity
of $100,000. He was the foundation
sire of the Quinta Appaloosa Farms
and an animal admired by lovers of
fine horse flesh from all over the
country.
QUINTA CHIEF
QUINTA APPALOOSA FARMS—PLANS FOR THE FUTURE
Quinta Chief’s bloodlines ranked
him as one of the finest Appaloosa
stallions of today. His pedigree, with
the exception that his dam and second dam were colorful Appaloosas,
resembled that of the best breeding
in the country. Thus, Quinta Chief
was the product of two breeds. His
color was golden roan with a white
blanket rump covered with dark
spots—yet his conformation had the
refinement of the finest.
Quinta Chief was purchased in
1960, and won the title of Grand
Champion Senior Stallion at the
Denver National Livestock Show of
1961. The stallion was still active up
until the week before his death—
winning shows in the performing
classes, and siring beautiful colts so
much like himself with a phenomenal
percentage of color.
Quinta Chief died suddenly. It
started only a week before, when the
Chief started to shake. One morning, the Champion Stallion could no
longer stand on his feet. And on
Thursday night, March 7th, Quinta
Chief was dead. Anautopsy performed by four top California veteri-
narians showed that the Chief died
of a rare tumor exerting pressure on
a lower inaccessible section of his
brain. The founder of a great line of
horses is gone—but his bloodlines
and heritage will live on in Quinta
Appaloosa Farms.
Last year with the future of
Quinta Appaloosa Farms in mind,
Tam and Hardister bred many of
their champion mares to Quinta
Chief in hopes of getting colts with
perfect conformation and beautiful
color. They took care of their own
mares primarily so they might have
more of Quinta Chief’s blood on their
own ranch. Their dreams were just
coming true when Quinta Chief died.
Now, 10 stud colts and fillies by
Quinta Chief are on the Farms and
approximately 20 more Quinta Appaloosa champion mares are soon to
bear Quinta Chief’s offspring.
Three of the most promising of
the lot are beautiful stud colts.
Quinta’s Pride is a beautiful dark sorrel yearling stud colt.
Sired by
Quinta Chief, Pride will probably take
his place as lead stallion for Quinta
Appaloosa Farms. Spotted white on
Appaloosa News ~ May, 1963

his rump, Quinta’s Pride has perfect
conformation with beautiful head,
deep chest, straight legs, and fine
muscling. Quinta Appaloosa Farms
has great hopes in Quinta’s Pride as
a possible Appaloosa racing horse.
He should be ready to breed by
spring of 1964.
Quinta’s Racer is another of
Quinta Chief’s incomparable offspring. He is a yearling stud colt
with very flashy coloring much like
Quinta Chief’s. Quinta Racer has
beautiful conformation and is sorrel
and white with brown spots over his
loin and hips. His dam is Vicky Victoria, prize mare out of Gold Heels
and a Peavy mare.
Quinta Chief is gone but not forgotten. Those of the Appaloosa industry will see and admire his offspring for a long time to come.
Quinta Appaloosa Farms will carry
out his bloodlines through a fine
breeding program, which we know
will improve the Appaloosa breed for
the future.
One again, planning for the future has paid off.

“How do you want this one? Right leg crossed? Awfully silly, but if it’s cheesecake you want, it’s cheesecake you get.”
Pateeka . . .
Champion Hoosier Hobby Horse
By Carolyn Smith
As each new foal arrives in a
freshly bedded stall, or the back
pasture, its owner immediately
examines it for two things: is it
healthy? Then, does it have that
extra something it takes to be a
champion?
“My people are awfully nice.
Here’s Tony Laughlin giving
me a little goody to eat.”
Very few breeders feel “this
one has it” right away.
The
Laughlin brothers, Howard E.
(Tony) and Bob, were two of
those very few to know they had
something special at their Hidden
Valley Appaloosa Farm in Richmond, Indiana, the day (July 26,
1959) Pateeka was born. The
22
animal was so exceptional that the
greatest spirit-dampeners of all—
slow judges—also agreed she
was born to be a champion.
Champion Mare
As a yearling, Pateeka was
named the Grand Champion Mare
at her first show—the Thirteenth
National Appaloosa Show, June
17-18, at South Sioux City, Nebraska—an honor very few horses
in history have been given. As the
horse showman knows, a horse to
be named a grand champion before she’s had a chance to fully
develop, or to be trained, is practi-
Appaloosa News ~ February, 1961
cally unheard of.
A champion, in addition to being well-built, colorful and showy,
must have an extra spark. With
some it is show consciousness.
With others, it is pride.
With
Pateeka, it’s personality.
She has been a charmer from
the day of her birth. While she was
a suckling foal at the farm, the
Laughlins and visitors spent hours
watching her—asleep, awake, at
lunch, at play. Her conformation
and outstanding markings, even for
the colorful “speckled breed,” the
Appaloosa, were sufficient to make
the critical businessmen, Tony and
Bob, take note. Her personality
also was noted by their wives,
Maxine and Tad.
The men’s knowledge of
Pateeka’s potential and the
women’s intuition of her potential
resulted in sending her as a
weanling to a trainer for work and
showing in halter. As Tony says in
recounting Pateeka’s grand showings, “We are set up to breed and
raise the best Appaloosas in the
country, but we don’t have the time,
facilities or knowledge to make the
show circuit with our horses.”
Just as Pateeka’s winning the
top prize against the country’s best
Appaloosas is unusual, so is
Laughlins’ owning her. Horsemen
with infinite knowledge of bloodlines, of desirable conformation
and color try for years, often never
successfully, to raise one champion horse. The Laughlins have
only been breeding Appaloosas for
three years.
They started with a layman’s
interest in the colorful, gentle, durable Appaloosas by reading about
the effort being made by horsemen
around the country to revive this
ancient breed.
Ideal Crop
More reading and listening to
the few but enthusiastic Hoosier
Appaloosa owners convinced the
Laughlins that they would be the
ideal “crop” for their hilly and
wooded 160-acre farm outside
Richmond. Their’s is a peculiar
farming situation. Tony is a pharmacist in Richmond, so wants the
farm to be an easily manageable
and relaxing “profitable hobby.”
Bob lives on and manages the
farm.
“A future champion needs her beauty rest. Mother
will see that nothing disturbs me.”
“Hey Bob, just a little
higher. You tickle there!”
Pateeka is an excellent example of Laughlins’ horses which are
born and raised in a practically
natural environment. She has a
barn to run into in bad weather,
lots of pasture with streams and
woods to graze and play in. And
the Laughlins can handle her
whenever they have time. She,
along with the rest of their Appaloosas, is always easily caught,
and ready, willing and able to learn
and to be enjoyed.
Pateeka has, from a star’s beginning, a bright future as an excellent Appaloosa.
“Now listen here fellas. Being a model is fine, but this
is my lunch hour and I’m hungry.”

This is so sad! Please pass it on!
Ok, I saw on the other message about PMU and slaughter and stuff, and people were asking about it and all that. I personally have checked into it a lot because I was interested in what really goes on and interested in adopting a foal, etc.
PLEASE READ THIS! EVERYONE NEEDS TO BE INFORMED!
WHAT IS PREMARIN? Premarin (and its cousins Prempro, Prempac, and Premphase) is a drug whose name originates
from a key ingredient, pregnant mare's urine. It is prescribed to alleviate the symptoms of menopause by substituting
equine estrogens for those naturally produced by the human body. It has since become the most-prescribed drug in the
world. Premarin is the third largest selling drug on the earth. Over ten million women are currently taking Premarin.
WHAT IS OBJECTIONABLE ABOUT THE CARE THAT PREGNANT MARES RECEIVE ON PREMAIN FARMS?
To produce Premarin, pregnant mares are tethered to the front of stalls measuring just 3 1/2 to 5 feet wide and 8 feet
long. For six months, while their bodies are producing the most estrogen, these mares are unable to take more than a
step or two in any direction, turn around, or even lie down comfortably. This chronic lack of exercise can cause severe
swelling of the legs, breakdown of the hoof structure and sets the stage for colic. Mares are forced to wear cumbersome
rubber urine-collection bags, which chafe their legs and cause sores, 24 hours a day to collect their urine. They are also
denied free access to water so that their urine will yield more concentrated estrogens; The FARMERS ARE PAID ACCORDING TO THE CONCENTRATION OF THE ESTROGEN IN THE URINE. This can lead to renal and liver problems
and cause the mares to struggle and injure themselves during water-distribution times to get to the water they so desperately crave. The mares suffer from kidney disease frequently because of their limited water intake.
So that they can be put right back into production the next winter, the mares are reimpregnated within days of giving
birth. A few months after giving birth, they are separated from their foals and put back on the "pee line." Fertile mares
may go through this same grueling cycle year after year. When the mares become old, infertile, or crippled, they are auctioned off for slaughter. Premarin mares' life expectancy is much lower than the average horse's.
WHY ARE PREMARIN PRODUCING MARES TREATED THIS WAY? Stalled horses yearn for release. Taking some
mares out of the stable will create a major disturbance among those left behind. The manpower necessary to frequently
unhook the mares from the urine collection harness for regular exercise would also decrease the farmer's profit margin.
Premarin farming is not a small business; but, an $800,000,000 a year industry. The true facts of Premarin production
are clouded in secrecy because observers are denied access to PMU farms except for visits previously arranged.
Wyeth-Ayrest now claims that some specific reforms; for example, discontinuing the practice of withholding water to concentrate the mare's urine have been initiated in response to pressure from humane groups. What is certain is that intense scrutiny is needed for an industry with a long history of inhumane abuses.
The Story Of 'Blindie'
The PMU farmer called her "Blindie" because her cataracts are so severe she can barely see. A broken-down ex-rodeo
horse, 20-year-old Blindie was good only for the "pee-line," ranchers’ slang term for the rows of stalls where mares are
confined for their urine.
Life on the "pee-line" must have been terrifying for
Blindie. Tethered in a cramped stall and hooked A "nuisance" who had to be taken out of her stall once
up to a strange contraption that chafed her legs, or twice a month to stretch her aching leg, Blindie was
she could hear frighten- slated for slaughter after her foal’s birth.
ing sounds all around
her, as the other horses kicked and gnawed on their stalls in frustration. (Some PMU mares
have never been confined before. They whine wildly and tug frantically at their ropes. Others
develop repetitive movements seen in confinement-crazed animals in zoos and on fur farms,
weaving their heads from side to side and pawing rhythmically on the concrete floor.)
During her first year on the line, Blindie developed "stiff-leg" from standing, heavy with pregnancy, on a hard floor for months on end. A "nuisance" who had to be taken out of her stall
once or twice a month to stretch her aching leg, Blindie was slated for slaughter after her foal’s
birth.
But Blindie was lucky. Two PETA investigators working undercover persuaded the farmer to
sell her to them. Now she is lovingly called Miranda and lives happily with her daughter, Aspin
Dakota, surrounded by people who care for her.

WHAT ABOUT THE FOALS?
"When you see a colt being born and you have to destroy it … it’s rough because they’re babies. I just didn’t think it was
right.”– Ollie Bracken, retired PMU farmer
The fate of the approximately 70,000 foals—considered unwanted industry "byproducts"—who are born on PMU farms
each year is equally disturbing. Some are kept for stud or to replace their worn-out mothers. Most of the foals, at the tender age of 4 months, are sold to "kill buyers" and are fattened, then slaughtered. They will end up on the dinner tables of
Europe and Japan.
Because of the lower bone to meat ratio in TBs, they are the sire of choice of the meat industry, and used to breed most
of the premarin foals out of Draft mares. However, a disturbing fact is that than1% of PMU foals avoid slaughter.
Personal Experience at a PMU Farm
"I was cleaning, watering, and feeding the colts (who had been kept for breeding) when, further down, a horse suddenly
flew over the manger and landed on his side with his neck bent up against the stall. He was still tied up and one of his
legs was caught in the rope. He was obviously panicked and started screaming. All the other horses became very upset.
I hollered for help. After what seemed like forever, B. (the farmer’s wife) came up the aisle, passed me, and, without
breaking stride, kicked the horse and kept going. He bolted up, wild-eyed. Later, she said it was good for the horses to
lie there and "think about what they had gotten themselves into." After she untied the colt so we could get him back into
the stall, I saw his lower lip had blood all around the inside and there was blood coming out of each nostril."
WHAT CAN BE USED BESIDES PREMARIN?
There are healthier and cruelty-free alternatives. I don't have a lot of information on them, however, there are natural
hormone replacement's out there, and books and information on them. There are also synthetic estrogens avaible.
Torun Almer of Kailua-Kona, Hawaii, says, "I switched to a product called Estinyl and I believe it is a far superior product
to Premarin. I no longer have a constant bloated feeling and [I have] dropped the 10 pounds I gained when I started
[taking] Premarin. I’m delighted.”
There is a hotline for people to call for more information on Premarin and its alternatives. It is 1-800-KNOWPMU.
The mares' foals being fattened for slaughter huddle together in the snow on a
PMU feedlot. "They thrive in the cold," the farmer says. "Their meat stays
chilled and fresh.”

FAHR needs your help………
It will soon again be time for the membership to choose three replacements for the last of the original seats held by Tom Taylor,
Jennifer Thomas, and Marilyn Yeomans. Last year’s four available seats drew only one interested foundation breeder; Joe
Yeomans. As most of you know, he won the seat by default.
Since we have continued to operate with eight directors, including the President, we thought it best to try only to replace this
year’s three seats. At the end of this term, we may need to seek
replacements for the positions of secretary and treasurer. Our
plan is to divide these jobs among two different members. This
will free up a director to work on other important business.
As always, the eligibility requirements are that you must have
been a member for at least one year prior to the May election
and that you are a foundation breeder. Foundation breeder is
determined to be a FAHR member who has bred and registered
at least one Foundation Appaloosa Breed horse with FAHR.
Internet access is not a requirement, but is strongly encouraged.
If you think you would like to dedicate your time and effort to this
worthy cause, please consider submitting your autobiography to
the FAHR membership for election to the Board of Directors.
All autobiographies must be postmarked no later than
February 20, 2002.

Jennifer Thomas, Committee Chairperson
EXPOS!!
The year 2002 will be the busiest year FAHR has ever had. Thanks to the efforts of a few FAHR members the Foundation Appaloosa will be represented at the Hoosier Horse Fair in Indianapolis, Indiana and at Equine Affaire in Columbus, Ohio. Between these two expos in April more than 80,000 people will have the opportunity to view the Foundation
Appaloosa. Hopefully FAHR members Tammy Hoffman and Ken Haskins will again help FAHR with the Minnesota
Horse Expo in late April making it over 100,000 horse people. This will give us the chance to educate people on our
breed and let them see live horses so they can see for themselves the beauty of the Foundation Appaloosa.
If any FAHR members have a desire to promote their horses as FAHR registered at either the Equine Affaire in OH or
the Minnesota Horse Expo contact Jennifer Thomas at 260-868-9008 or [email protected] for Equine Affaire in OH or
Ken Haskins at 218-564-4908 or [email protected] for the Minnesota Horse Expo. Lets get our breed noticed and
represented at these large events.
HERE IS YOUR CHANCE
We will be taking copies of the next issue Jan, Feb, March Tidings to these expos to distribute to genuinely interested
people. If you have never advertised in the Tidings before do so now. Do a full page ad, half page ad, quarter page ad
or Breeders Directory ad, but be noticed in this issue. Get recognized as a FAHR breeder and let us help you market
your horses.
We are also offering members a chance to be listed in a “FAHR Breeders Listing”. This will be set up alphabetically by
state and include: Farm name, contact name, address, phone number, e-mail, web site, and no more than 20 lines of
text for stallions at stud and/or horses for sale or just describing your breeding program. Space will be approximately 2
1/2”x 3”. Cost will be $30. This listing will be handed out to everyone who shows any interest in Appaloosas and we will
be printing 10,000 copies of this listing. This will be worth your advertising dollar. Deadline for sending money and
text for this listing is March 1, 2002. Send it along with a note of explanation to FAHR, Inc., P.O. Box 15314,
Fort Wayne, IN 46885-5314.
VOLUNTEERS
We are asking ALL FAHR members to please either advertise or donate money to FAHR to help us financially with
these expos. This will take money as well as time and personal effort to achieve. If you live in these areas please volunteer your time to help set up and/or tear down the booths as well as help man the booths during the expos. Even a
half day of your time will help. You will be amazed at what can be done when everyone pitches in. Contact Jennifer
Thomas at 260-868-9008 or [email protected] to volunteer.
WHAT ARE YOU WILLING TO DO FOR THE FOUNDATION APPALOOSA?
(Note: I want to thank FAHR member, Vicki Grant, for her generous donation of purchasing FAHR a membership in
the Indiana Horse Council so that FAHR can attend this year’s Hoosier Horse Fair. She has been very instrumental in
pulling together the Hoosier Horse Fair and is working hand in hand with Jennifer to make the necessary arrangements. I want to encourage other Indiana members to consider assisting in any way you can. Let’s work together to
make this a success. I would also like to challenge our Michigan members to consider setting up a booth at Michigan’s
Horse Expo this Spring. Our current number of FAHR registered horses by state shows Michigan coming in 4th with
48 registered horses, and we have many Michigan members, as well. Come on Michigan, why not volunteer to help
promote FAHR and the Foundation Appaloosa breed horse? Contact Marilyn and Joe Yeomans at 616-636-5755 or email them at [email protected] if you think you would like to offer your time and talent. By the way, current statistics show Indiana coming in 3rd with 57 registered horses, Oregon 2nd with 60, and Washington is #1 with 61 FAHR
registered horses. . .congratulations Washington members!

THE GHOST WIND STALLION
He sat for hours, listening to the fascinating stories of an old man.
The old man was George Long Grass, a Nez Perce — Flat Head Indian.
He was born in 1 8 6 0 in the Territory of Montana. The boy was forever
haunted by the Indians stories and many years later, he set out on a lifelong quest to
find the truth about the life of George Long Grass and his Ghost Wind Stallions.
1 9 9 0, Don LaLonde with the help of Frank C. Scripter wrote down this history of George Long Grass
and of the spotted horses (Arab Toswirah Alkhar and Siri Sheik) whose legacy was given by the Ghost
Wind Stallions. Today we call them Appaloosas. The Spirit is alive in this fascinating book
of tears and joy with maps and rare photographs.

DID YOU KNOW?
B. A. Skipper Jr. Dies in Air Crash
Appaloosa News ~ November, 1962
This photo of B. A. Skipper, Jr. (right foreground) was taken during the Appaloosa Convention
at Springfield, Illinois
Horsemen were saddened to learn of the death, the first week of October, of B. A. Skipper, Jr., Longview, Texas. He was found dead in the wreckage of his airplane 10 miles southeast of Winnsboro in
Eastern Texas.
B. A. Skipper was widely known in cutting horse circles. He conducted the Appaloosa Horse Club
Cutting Clinic in 1961 and the Cutting Lecture at the 1962 Appaloosa Convention. He also judged the
cutting at the 15th National Appaloosa Show.
B. A. Skipper was a friend to Appaloosa owners and a friend to Appaloosas. When he was attending
an Appaloosa sale he was always willing to assist as ringman. At open cuttings, he was quick to turn
back for an Appaloosa man so he could show his horse to the best advantage. At a large open cutting in
Great Falls a few years ago, Mr. Skipper turned back for Orvil Sears, who was riding the Appaloosa gelding Flake. Flake placed 2nd and Mr. Skipper’s own entry, Poco Lena, placed third. It requires a wealth of
sportsmanship to help a competitor place above you. This is the type of sportsmanship for which B. A.
Skipper, Jr., will always be remembered.
(Note: The Appaloosa gelding mentioned in this article, the ‘fabulous’ Flake, was a own son of Apache F730. With
the advent of Apache Double going into the racing ‘Hall of Fame’, this demonstrates the versatility of this great
bloodline whether it be speed, cutting, or reining—never underestimate the ability of an Apache bred Appaloosa.
Check those pedigrees, perhaps Apache F730 can be found in one of yours!)

God Bless America
