Info on the Palomino TWH that will be available at the NBHA 2013 Auction
The Tennessee Walking Horse offered is a colt and jointly donated by Colleen and Delene Walsh of the Lazy Y Arrow Ranch along with Fred & Jennifer Smith. Arrow’s Walkers, http://www.arrowswalkers.com/ began in 1986 with foundation mares bred by Calvin Miller of the 24,000 acre Double Diamond Ranch in North Dakota. Some were shown and did well, but all worked primarily as ranch horses. Some history about Fred Smith, he was the Camp Manager at Camp Robinson, AR before Roger Martin. He was very instrumental in the development of this facility. Fred told me the NBHA is near to his heart. We have to thank Fred and Jennifer for the kindness and support of the NBHA. Not very often folks have this generosity. The horse will be started and under saddle. Any additional training or boarding is the responsibility of the purchaser and will be negotiated with Fred & Jennifer Smith. Our horses are easy keepers, known for lots of heart, plenty of bottom, good feet, agile minds, great natural gait, and are just plain pretty. The horses born on the ranch are easy keepers who take care of themselves. They tend to drink at every puddle and happily munch anything in reach. They are real survivor’s not wild mustangs.

Thank you all for your support!
