Two Miss Hackberrys

I was doing some research on Paint Horse bloodlines and pulled up the pedigree of an early APHA Champion mare named Miss Dodger.

Her pedigree on the bottom is wrong. Miss Hackberry, the QH mare listed as Miss Dodger's dam, was not an AQHA-registered mare. She was an APHA-registered mare of unknown bloodlines.

Miss Hackberry, the AQHA-registered mare, was a renowned Kansas foundation producer. To my knowledge, she never produced a cropout.

Hi Charlie and Ryan,

The Leo book is not out yet. I am putting the finishing touches on my book on Dale Wilkinson. It should be out this spring. I have the Leo book half written and have scanned more than 700 photos pertaining to the Joe Reed and Leo horses. This book will be my most ambitious to date. There is just so much information to put in it and I'll have to choose what photos to include. It should be out be July 1. I have struggled with the Dale Wilkinson book because I never met him. He passed away shortly after I had agreed to do the book for Findlay University so I did not have the luxury of interviewing and getting the history and stories first-hand.

Merry Christmas,

Frank Holmes
