The
first time I saw Supreme
Print, I knew this was one of
the best mares I had ever seen. Not
because she had a huge hind leg or
having muscle (as commonly
referenced), but this mare exuded
class, pretty and presence, and a
type we all strive for.
Supreme
Print had been like a “daughter”
to Bill for many years before his
dispersal and was bought by David
Westbrook at that time. She lived in
Gainesville, Texas for several
years. David and I had bought most
all of Bill’s best mares at his
dispersal and I had told David on
several occasions if he ever sold
her, I’d like to have her.
One
day several years ago, David called
and offered her to me and a deal was
struck. He met me in Mississippi and
to the East Coast she came. I’ve
bought mares as far away as
California but never was I more sure
of an addition to head our broodmare
band.
Not
only was this mare a “great”
show mare, but each of her foals
carry all of her class, disposition
and “showiness”. These traits
are being carried on here at the
Ecker Ranch through her son, “Supreme
Skippa”. All of his colts are
stamped with the good traits that I
strive for in my breeding program.
Probably
the most accredited foal (full
brother to Supreme
Skippa) is Supreme Type, a 12
time World and Reserve World
Champion Palomino Gelding.
We
have 2 of her colts here at the
Ecker Ranch, one on the way, and one
in the planning stage (embryo
transfer). This mare is a credit to
the breed and her breeder, Bill
Wilmeth (one of the founders of
Authentic Linebreeders’ Alliance),
and I’m proud to be associated
with them both.
Good
luck in the future and please come
and visit Pam and I if you’re ever
on the East Coast.
