“Traveler” is of the older Western blood line. He comes to us from the older breeding stock of Blue Gold and out of Blanca Traveler. He has produced some of the smoothest gaits out there. In fact, we have received hundreds of comments and compliments about his compact, yet perfect conformation, his smooth gaits, his sane foals, and his quiet nature. You only have to show Traveler or his get one time and they seem to just “get it!” This is somewhat rare in some of the high minded show stock. However, when blending Traveler with some of this show stock, you can certainly get the best of the best. Traveler was a jewel in the finding of him. With the help of Elsie Darrah, I was able to go back through iPeds and track him through the quality of the stock that he produced. I found him in Mississippi and called the guy and quickly went to get him. The gentleman that had him was eager to sell him, not because of any faults on Traveler except that he will NOT breed a large herd of mares. He will breed a small herd or will hit a near perfect conception when he is bred in hand. He will do live cover, he will wait for the verbal command to hand breed, and he will pasture breed a small herd of mares. However, he will not cover a single mare if he is in a large herd. This is great for me since I have been able to control the mares that he breeds. He did not have a lot of foals on the ground before I bought him and I have been able to control the quality of the foals that he has sired. If you see a Traveler foal out there and he was born after 2005, you should grab him / her up! It will be an outstanding horse! His color genetics are EeAACrCr. This means that he can only sire a buckskin or a palomino (or a double dilute from a diluted mare). - Micki Haendiges of Rise and Shine Walkers
