This program is designed to provide owners of FAHR registered mares, the opportunity to infuse new bloodlines into their breeding operation, at a reduced fee rate, and provide participating Stallion owners a showcase for their horse. Proceeds from the Stallion Barn are intended to as- sist FAHR, in the funding and development of projects, such as: our new distance and saddle log program, as well as helping to offset the growing financial demands of registry operation.

A) Each stallion listed, is either FAHR registered and/or a recognized producer of FAHR registered foals.

B) The owner of each stallion is offering, to FAHR registered mares only, one 2007 stallion breeding service, at a 20% reduction in the stallion’s standard breeding service fee.

8 LETTERS & INPUT from Members & Supporters

Dear Sir or Madam,

I am a published writer of a children's book entitled "Appaloosa Pete and the Band of Wiley Wolves". I am writing in hopes that you'll find my product(s) interest- ing, so that you might spread the word about the book to your organization's members. I have been having a hard time with sales since the outset of this writing pro- ject and an advisor of mine directed me to your website.

The book is children's fiction, picture book style, which has been on the market for a little over a year now. I hope that you'll find the book enjoyable as well as unique. I've had many successes with 2nd grade class- rooms and other children of that age who love horses.

Please visit my website, www.appaloosa-pete.com, for more information and to email me with any questions you might have.

The year 1964 was a banner year for Copper Valentine, the "little horse with a big heart," as, shown in a wide variety of classes, this Appaloosa won honors for his owners, Mr. and Mrs. Robert E. Richards of Rich- wood Farms, Otsego, Michigan. However, not stopping at that point, this award winning horse went on to capture honors for the Richards' daughter, Char- lotte, for trainer Eddie McMurtrie, and for Coleen Squires, who rode him to be named Queen of the 5-Club Re- gional Show. W-M's Copper Valentine, foaled in 1960 from W-M's Cop- per Dollar and W-M's Boots, was a dream come true for the Richards family. He was first seen by the owners-to-be during a trip to the Meisinger's W-M Cattle Company at Plattsmouth, Nebraska, when he was a year and a half old. "Dad, that's the stallion for us," was Charlotte's verdict. However, her father re- sponded with a question, later answered by the purchase of ninety-one acres north of Kal a- mazoo, "And just where do you expect to keep him ?"

GOLDEN GLOW, F-470 By Marcus Crowley stallion, Silver, and out of Snow. Love At First Sight

At a rodeo in Butte, Montana So I called him up and told him Over thirty years ago I had one could buck like hell. I first laid my eyes on Soon out he came in his big green truck A trim white mare named Snow. With Mexican Joe along. At working stock she was a whiz! The horse showed Joe that he could buck. She knew where she should be. Leo wanted him for a song. So never a cow slipped by her But the only way I'd bargain In the cutting jamboree. Was to trade right straight across. They roped from her, they dogged from her And after quite a haggle Never did she shirk. I had myself a hoss. In my heart I longed to own Leo still was limping and his pride That horse that loved to work. Had felt a blow. But Leo Cramer owned her If he hadn't been mad, I never would as he owned the rodeo have had, a chance to get his Snow. Carrying the flag, dressed in white, Mounted upon Snow. It always had been plain to me She was an Appaloosa. Everyday at entry time The black spots on her rounded rump They led the Grand Parade were only just a few. With arching neck and mincing feet We bred Snow to a stallion of the Her gracefulness' displayed. Marcus Crowley line. Then some way on this one day The colt was sure a dandy While the band played "Whoops ti do," With head and legs real fine, The flagpole jabbed her in the neck And a mottled golden color And Snow took up the cue. That glistened in the sun. One lunging jump, one dizzy spin He gave him the name of Golden Glow. The rider off did go. It was a fitting one. I said to myself, "Now here's my chance We used him and we loved him to get the mare named Snow," He was like his dam I know. Now Leo would buy a bucking horse Now every horse of the Coffee Cup line And I had one to sell. Goes back to good old Snow.

—–Gertrude Armstrong
