Remember Prayer Warrior, owned by Carol Warwick, Colorado Springs,
Colorado Hidden out in a remote corner of Colorado until a chance discovery through a friend, Remember Prayer Warrior, the palomino grandson of Midnight Sun, has had, and continues to lead an interesting life. He was bred by McAllen Finley and Arlene Pralle, anf foaled in the spring of 1997. His dam is Chance's White Gold, a granddaughter of John A's Chance. His sire is Sun's Remembrance, the last son of the great Midnight Sun. This puts 18 horses from the 1940's and earlier on his papers, including two foundation (F) horses. With lines to Midnight Sun, and therefore, Wilson's Allen and Roan Allen on the top, and Merry Boy and Merry Legs to those same foundation horses on the bottom, he truly represents some of the last close-up links to the old greats. Raised in Florida, he was moved to the mountains of Colorado as a two year old and basically put out to pasture for the next six years of his life. He was "rediscovered" during a herd dispersal, and purchased mainly on the strength of his papers. As he had not been started under saddle, he was put with a colt starter, and then in the spring of 2006, placed with a gaited trainer. Not much gait training was necessary as it came naturally to him and it became clear that what was needed was show training so he could get out there and show them what he had! And he surely did! Though he was quite excited, he settled into this new environment and got blues and reds at his first show. This pattern continued throughout the year, culminating with the Champion English Pleasure 3-Gait, and Reserve Champion English Trail Pleasure 2-Gait at the Colorado State Fair in August 2006. Not bad at all for a horse whom a few years earlier had been a breeding stallion that had not even been ridden. Warrior was a 15.3h, striking palomino with a beautiful long silvery mane and tail. He has tremendous bone and feel as befitting an "old time" Walking Horse. He has a wonderful natural flatwalk, running walk, and SUPERB rocking-chair canter and he can do it ALL barefoot. His foals inherit those natural gaits and his beautiful head, proving that the Heritage breeding carries forward. It's truly wonderful to look out in the field and see the ghosts of the past come to life!
