Bankers in the Spanish Mustang Registry
Dale Burrus was a resident of the Outer Banks, an inspector for the Spanish Mustang Registry, and a tireless advocate of the Bankers. He worked to get several
Bankers registered in the Spanish Mustang Registry. In the picture above one will see Sailor, a great SMR stallion from the Outer Banks of North Carolina.
Tom Norush, president of the Horse of the Americas Registry, recognized years ago that crosses between the eastern mustangs of the Outer Banks and the mustangs of the western ranges produced great horses. For years his breeding program has been based on the East/West cross.
This year Tom donated a beautiful colt from his breeding program to the winner of an essay contest sponsored by the HOA. Jacob, one of my riders won the beautiful colt and brought it to our pastures where it now lives with it's Corolla relatives.
