This message is from: "Robert Morgan" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Hi, This discussion on the stars reminds me of Dr. Seuss's "Stars Upon Thars" story.
I don't think there is any chance that this registry will go the way of the AQHA, whereas if it looks like a quarter horse even with 'color' or as an Appaloosa or as a Thoroughbred or as a 'quarter pony' they are QUARTER HORSES!! I came from an area in the midwest that any self respecting sale barn had enough quarter horse papers to register a small herd. Breed integrity is difficult to manage as more and more people become involved. In this small valley there are two teams of Fjord mules, purchased at Sandpoint, ID a few years ago. On our road there is a very sweet buckskin gelding, has a dorsal stripe, the mealy colored muzzle, dark fetlocks and hooves, a scraggly standing up mane with few white hairs on either side......is he perhaps a half-Fjord? Haven't been able to catch the owner, but the gelding comes to the fence each day for his hugs when I take my walk. from Helena, still cold, no snow, lamenting the fact that the frost isn't out of the ground yet.......IT'S FEBRUARY, for gosh sakes, I want spring......
