Re: [RC] Robert E. Lee Re his mount Traveller - Karen Sullivan----- Original Message ----- From: <rides2far@xxxxxxxx> To tell the truth, it's hard to nail down his breed because he's the perfect horse that avoids all extremes. To create a breed identity you sort of have to choose a trait and exagerate it. Traveller is the poster child for "All things in moderation". Angie Yep and those were probably the kind of horses that would go and go without weird human-created conformation problems and unsoundnesses. Our first horse was a small to mid size grey mare with hard black feet. Even looking back at the photos I cannot tell you what breed or cross she was. Maybe Arab size, but no Arab head or tail set. Certainly not chunky like a QH. Well, my father said she was the "kind of horse" used and wanted by the Pony Express....just tough little nondescript horse. I remember seeing a copy of an ad for pony express horses. They wanted greys with black feet.
