Notes

Dam (per source): Bessy JC Reference: Appaloosa News Oct61:51 Note: from his last owner (Melanie): "We bought him in 1973, when he was 17 and I was 11, from a farmer near Lawrence, Kansas, where I grew up. He had been recently gelded at that time, reportedly (we found out later) because he'd attacked one of the stablehands. Whatever the truth of that, he was certainly a sweet lad the years I knew him (though he continued trying to mount any mare in season, no matter where or when!)." I'm not sure but I think the other picture is depicting him winning a barrel race trophy at Nationals. He loved to barrel race and still into his 20s could beat all the local youngsters. My sisters and I decided at the ripe old age of 19 to teach him to ride hunt seat and do a bit of show-jumping. He actually really loved it, though the way he did it, it was more show-hopping. He especially liked the timed runs; he was always a racer at heart. He always insisted on being the flag-bearer in any parade, and loved showing off for folks, prancing and dancing. He had a horrible cribbing problem, and in his later years, struggled to keep any weight on at all. He was finally put down at age 24 (if I remember correctly), suffering from pneumonia and just unable to get enough nutrition to fight it off. I was with him when he passed. He was a fine horse, a good stud, feisty and sweet and always loved an adventure. I was very pleased to see him on your site. I attached an old photo of me riding him in what must be about 1976.
