Cutch's Silver

Pat M...

Have you ever run across a QH mare named Cutch's Silver in your research? I was researching something else on All-Breed this evening and her name popped up.

I remember when Lane Hudson had her, although I never saw her at his place. He bred her to Mighty Bright a couple of times and got a top stud named Road Agent and a top mare named Mighty Silver Ute. When bred to It's About Time, Mighty Silver Ute came with a couple of good ones...Silver Time, Hop About and Bright Blue Lites.

Cutch's Silver also, when bred to Poco Jim, produced a QH mare named Ute Miss. Bred to Prince Plaudit, Ute Miss produced Ute Plaudit that went to (as I recall) Vernon Shank in Canada.

Cutch's Silver was a 1951 dun mare, bred by Coke Roberds. In the mid-1970s, John and Joyce Williard of Aurora, Colorado called me in Abilene, Kansas, and asked if I would partner with them on the mare. They had bought her from Lane and bred her to their top stallion Mr. Wapiti Deck (who I had seen as a yearling at Jim Wild's). They felt the mare needed some TLC and said, if I would take her, they'd partner on the foal.

I didn't do it because I had in the past had disastrous luck trying to bring old mares down from the high elevations in Colorado to the low elevation, heat and humidity of central Kansas. I don't think the mare ever had a foal for the Williards. They were good people and both died tragic deaths as I recall.

Hi Frank,

I believe I did apedigree with here in it years ago. My QH cards are where I can't get to them right now, so I can't pull her card and let you know what info I have on her.
