Three years later, her husband had to leave for military service and she accompanied him, leaving Hallany Mistanny with General Dickenson. Diskenson sold him to Blaine McGowan of Forest Lake Ranch in Eureka, California.
For the next 15 years Hallany Mistanny sired only one registered foal. McGowan simply was not interested in breeding. Hallany Mistanny was his working cattle horse and personal riding mount, and that was enough. McGowan obviously valued Hallany Mistanny because he received several purchase offers which he declined.
When Hallany Mistanny was 18 years old, in 1956, McGowan developed a heart condition. One night, so the story goes, Marks received a phone call. "If you want Hallany Mistanny, come tonight." Marks wasted no time hitching up a trailer.
Everyone was amazed by Hallany Mistanny's world-class type, his wonderful disposition, and his outstanding athletic ability. Marks stood Hallany Mistanny at stud, and once the foals started to arrive everyone was even more impressed.
Hallany Mistanny's sons and daughters literally dominated the show ring through thru 60's and into the 70's. He sired six national halter and English pleasure champions. Thirteen Hallany Mistanny daughters and five sons produced national winners, too.
Starting at 18 years of age through the last year of his life at age 28, Hallany Mistanny sired 151 registered progeny.
