Pedigree
This message below was written to me by Mr. William A. Orr, III, in December 2008. It is a message I cherish. Mr. Orr is a well established and respected, long time breeder, of quality running Quarter Horses, and I am deeply honored to have received this message from him...
"I’m sure that you know that you have a good horse. But do you really realize just how good he is bred? Azure Te and Savanah Jr. speak for their selves. But I’ve been studying bloodlines for as long as I can remember. And racing and breeding and training. I’ve seen a trend on Shirley's Champion as a broodmare sire. And I own a stud by a 7/8 brother to Final Fury. Me and a friend of mine were just talking a few weeks ago about its so hard to find a horse bred like yours. Not all run, not all cow and not all arena. You've got it mixed just right. Hard to find and harder to get what you have when a person wants a good horse to do it all. Not just one thing. You are very fortunate in my book. Congratulations!!!"
