5/31/15 Desert's Supreme Admiral

Recently I had a request for a picture of Desert's Supreme Admiral.  I was able to locate some photos, and although I didn't know much about the horse, his name was very familiar.  So why not look a little further.  The place to start is with Desert's Supreme Admiral's breeder, Walter J. Bush.  Mr. Bush was a business man who grew up on a farm in Missouri and had American Saddlebreds.  He decided to begin raising American Saddlebreds in 1975.  He founded Desert Oasis Ranch in Chandler Arizona and began breeding some very good American Saddlebreds, such as Mountain Highland memories, CH Memories' Citation, CH Memories' Paragon and Desert's Supreme Memories.  Perhaps an even greater contribution was helping to create the ASHA database so that he and others could better research bloodlines of the American Saddlebred.  What a gift!  Mr. Bush passed away last fall at the age of 85.


Walt Bush bred horses for 13 years, when in 1988, he decided to have a dispersal sale of his breeding stock and prospects.  Although he stated in his catalog that he was getting out of the breeding business, he bought back several of his horses, including Mountain Highland Memories, and he continued to breed horses until the time of his death.  One of the horses he did not put through the dispersal sale in 1988 was Desert's Supreme Admiral.  He continued to own him for his entire life and used him as a breeding stallion.  Born in 1985, his last offspring was foaled in 2005. 


Here is a look at the pedigree of Desert's Supreme Admiral, and a few of his colts.

5/23/15 Anacacho Double Shot

The last three posts have dealt with Edna May's King and his two best sons, Anacacho Denmark and Anacacho Shamrock.  Which one of these sons was the best?  That is an unwinnable debate, as both were successful sires of show horses, broodmares and breeding sons.  Over the years, perhaps Anacacho Shamrock has tended to rise to the top side of pedigrees more often than his half brother due to the influence of CH Wing Commander.  Conversely, Anacacho Denmark is the broodmare sire of Supreme Sultan and CH Yorktown, so was he the more successful sire of influential mares?  In any event, having them on a pedigree was a decided plus.  And how about those lucky horses that had both Anacacho Shamrock and Anacacho Denmark on their registration papers.  Here are just a few.
