nope, at that time, letssee, it was back in like 1974 or so, never heard of
john lyons.  truthfully, being totally untouched, and therefore totally
unspoiled by humans, she was much easier to work with than a horse that had
problems from previous owners -- no preconceived ideas.  btw, on her arab
side, she was a Witez II granddaughter, and keep in mind that many
registered morgans (back then anyway) had Arabs in their pedigrees so she
could of been more than 'half' Arab.

i didn't feel i was really pushing her either as i am generally really slow
in my training of a young horse, just progressed as she could handle it. 

and remember the day you tried to catch that 'unknown' rider on the gray
arab in the river trails and they totally disapeared.......gee, betty, i
only had a halter on him!
