To syndicate or not to syndicate?”
What has all this got to do with the Walking Horse
business? It is our opinion that it has a lot of merit
for discussion. Syndication (as it is described in this
article) has only been attempted one time in the
Walking Horse business. To our knowledge it was a
successful venture save for several misunderstand­
ings regarding management of a feature stallion which
ultimately led to the liquidation of the syndicate. With­
out appearing boastful, I would like to point out that
this was attempted in 1960 before the VOICE maga­
zine was being published, and the people involved
really had no adequate means of presenting the true
stallion "syndication” story to the nation's Tennessee
Walking Horse enthusiasts.
Is the Walking Horse business ready for syndication?
We really do not know! We do know that there are
several top breeding horses that are now owned by
groups of individuals with a variety of breeding ar­
rangements available to owners as well as outside
breeders.
We would suggest that you let this issue settle in
your mind for a few7 days and then re-read the pre­
vious article. Perhaps our breed IS ready for syndi­
cation, provided the right horses were chosen for
this distinction. Regardless of what your opinion is
regarding this particular issue, when you breed your
mares remember to "breed the best you’ve got to
the best you can find.”
