Welton bloodline.

Postby tellme » Tue Nov 21, 2017 8:06 am

Hello,
I am trying to find the origin of the Welton Bloodline. Where did it all begin? How? And why? I hit a block at the sire Welton Gameful in 1944. Just trying to find out the origin of "Welton". Is it a person, family, town, estate, stud farm, or horse. Where did it come from? Does anyone have any leads for me to reasearch?
Thank you for any assistance,

Hi tellme,
Seems the bloodline was established by the the Barr's. Here is their site with history of their early stallions and links to recent stallions post Welton Gameful. Also contact info for the Barr's who may be willing to answer your research questions. TJ
