Appaloosa o/b question

[Pat Sunstrom]

Does anyone have any information on 'A.L. Learner'? He seems to be/was a Californian.

Looking for contact info.

He owned Chipeeta and Chipetta Bars.

Hi Pat,

I don't have any additional information on the man, but I will never forget the photo of mother and daughter taken by Johnny Johnston after they both won their classes at the 1967 National in Walla Walla, Washington...(broodmare and weanling filly).

Does my memory serve me correctly?

They were a most striking pair and the kind that should have caused all horse lovers to "ooh and ahh."

The last time I talked to A.L. Learner, he was in Wilton, CA. That was about 1990. I bought a registered Paint he bred.

Yes, Frank...Your memory is, as usual, excellent! That was a stricking event and a most excellent photo!

Thank you, Silk! I'll check down that lead!

Any one w/any other information, I'm interested!

Pat, I did a little poking around for you. There is an Alston Lewis Learner, age 98, in Wilton. The site required a credit card to get a phone number and address, and I don't use them. Pretty sure this is our guy, tho. The age would be about right.

Thanks!!!
