Now, now, Truman.... "American Saddlebread"..... hmmmmmm....
reminds me of the time I was riding by my lonesome and had just conjured up some
bread dough and was letting it "rise" back at the ranch - of course I had
nibbled at it in it's yeasty dough-state, and guess what happens out on the
lonesome prairie? The yeast was happy in my tummy, (thank GOODNESS I
was alone - posting away), and my insides were trying to become the
ORIGINAL SADDLE-BREAD!!
Ha! Horses were part of the above subject-matter!
Still tummy-hurting in my memory bank .....
There's ouching-bouncing boobs, and farting-as-you-post!! Of course I never
did THAT again....matured into making other mistakes.
You obviously haven't been to the saddlebred museum in Lexington :-).
Travler has his very own display there. Travler was part of the foundation
stock that led to the development of both the saddlebred and the walking
horse. Travler was form the Grey Eagle family of Throughbreds. This family of
Throughbreds were instrumental in the development of the "saddler" (which
later became know as the American Saddlebread) and the Tennessee Walking
horse (source, Bob Womac, Fondations Of Hoofbeats - The History of the
Tennessee Walking Horse). In fact many of the horses in the South at
that time were out of this same stock. Thus the claim.
