1959, bred in Calif.
had only 3 registered foals.
She was busy as a show horse. Sold to So. Calif., she was sent to the stable of Billy Warne, a good trainer of stock horses and more in the 1960's. For a while, he was located at Peter's Canyon Ranch, which I sometimes rode my horse over to. One of his apprentices was in my High School, and he went on to do well in reining. He was Gary Bellefonte (probably misspelled the name). I remember Dolly but did not know she was a Morgan. She had such a different look than the other horses in the barn. Rounder, more mane, prettier head, just a very different look. I believe that Billy Warne also showed her in open shows in stock horse classes which were the forerunner of today's reining.
