College Gets Top Quality Quarter Horse A celebrity arrived on the A&M campus last week to make his residence here. Buster Waggoner, a quarter horse, was presented as a gift to the college by Edgar Brown Jr., Pinehurst Ranch, Orange, Tex. Buster Waggonei’, P-8336, is a 16-year-old dun stallion and stands about 15 hands. He is by Black burn P-2228 and out of Lady Buck Thomas TI, P-2561, by Buck Thom as, all foundation horses of the American Quarter Horse Assn. The W. T. Waggoner estate bred Buster Waggoner. Later, Lester Goodson, a rancher at Mag nolia, Tex., acquired the horse from the estate. Under , the Good- son colors, Buster gathered a rep utation in cutting contests, beat ing some of the best horses in the country, judging from the many awards and championships he received. 'In recent years, the horse was sold to Pinehurst Ranch and used in the ranch breeding program. Age has crippled the horse and he will be used for breeding pur poses only. The breeding fee for outside mares is $50, according to Frank Dahlberg, professor in the Department of Animal Husbandry, in charge of the college horses. Dahlberg adds that Buster Wag goner has sired some good horses and is expected to contribute to the A&M breeding program. Pinehurst Ranch donated an other horse to A&M last October. He is King Swing, P-92000, a bay two-year-old stallion and son of King P-234. He was listed in the Pinehurst auction as sold to A&M for $11,600 in their October, 1959, sale, reported by the Quarter Horse Journal, offical breed pub lication. The stallions are located on the college farm at the stallion barn, and are open to inspection by the public. ■ ‘ New ** PI (.
