Maybe crossing Shacklfords and Corollas will be the best thing that could happen to the remaining Bankers. This is a shot of Persa during her earliest saddling. She is tough, well gaited and moderately insane. She is smaller and less conditioned than Holland but she recently gaited along at over 7 mph for 12 miles with me on her back. Right now I am the only one who rides her because she has a past that included putting people on the ground in the most forceful of manners.
So, if I put Tradewind's mind in her body I will have a super star Banker as a result of this Shackleford/Corolla cross. Compared to the Corollas, the Shacklefords are as genetically diverse as a meeting of the UN Security Council. The Shacklefords have four, count them, four lines of mitochondrial DNA left.
Bottom line is that we have none of these horses to be wasted.
