Kassy, i know you. I've seen you @ horse shows. I have no idea why people don't ask about Traveller. He is a very facinating animal. I have a colt of his grandfather. He looks just like Traveller Anonymous you should read some about Traveller!
I will, within the month of February 2005, publish my own booklet titled: "TRAVELLER: General Robert E. Lee's Favorite Greenbrier War Horse." ISBN 1-41204914-8.

It will soon be available for purchase through Trafford Publishing's Bookstore at www.trafford.com through either the Search Desk or Browsing Aisles.
