Paisano owned by Simrat Khalsa First Spanish Mustang to be accepted in American Sport Pony Registry.

"His front legs are substantial. His alignment is straight. His joints are dry. His pasterns are correct. And his hooves are absolutely fabulous. They are well shaped and of correct length, they are just picture perfect. When he travels, he is correct in front and behind and he has good rhythm. He has a good walk. He really steps well under himself. He has a good trot and a good canter. In his loose jumping, he does everything with ease. He is neat in front and behind, his approach is great. He is well balanced and very light footed. When he trots and canters, you cannot hear him. That is what we want. We want to see the movement. When the horse is in motion, the less you hear of the footfall, the better it is."  ASPR judge... Photo Courtesy of Akal Ranch

Yellow Fox Emmett Brislawn, son of Bob Brislawn and present owner of the Cayuse Ranch, entered his then 16 year old stallion Yellow Fox (SMR 3) in the 1966 Bitterroot endurance ride. Coming out of retirement, where he had spent his days on the Cayuse Ranch with his herd of mares, this Cheyenne bred buckskin stallion won championships for Heavyweight, All Around Horse and Best out of State Horse, carrying over 200 pounds. Unusual? Not really, when one considers he had been trained in his younger years to run down wild horses.  They say that when Yellow Fox ran for the finish line, the old horse threw up his head, still looking for the wild horses!
