Legendra's 1968 foal

Postby moonwalker424 » Sat Dec 11, 2010 11:05 am

One of the chapters in the second "Matriarchs" book (by Edward L. Bowen) is on Legendra, the 5th dam of Zenyatta and Balance. On the page with her offspring listed by year, 1968 has a curious entry: "Bred to non-Thoroughbred."

Does anyone know anything else about this, such as what kind of non-Thoroughbred (a Quarter Horse? Arabian?) and why? Or did the teaser pony leap the fence that spring?
