It seemed almost eons ago in the vast lands of Los Lobos, existed a small herd of near ancient horses. Thus, they were crowned The Great Timbers of the forest. As time went on and the years progressed, the Great Timbers slowly faded in numbers and were almost extinct. It finally came down to three of their breed, a young mare, her older sister and their older brother who had led their herd from many decades.
Their brother was named Alasar, he was a magnificent dapple gray stallion with clear lake blue eyes that danced in the radiant sunlight from the mornings their wondrous world provided them. Though old in years, the great Timbers always had an advantage over the ascending new breeds of horses that came upon their lands, for they were immortal. While the new breeds were born slowly throughout time, they died quicker in their peril lives. The Great Timbers just sat back and watched as the time slowly devoured the lives of these newly found breeds. Helpless and almost careless they all seemed to turn a blind eye to the newly presenting disaster that was upon their world's life source.
Unsuccessful through selective breeding on Alasar’s part, his sisters both turned against him and chose to live their separate ways with the new breeds and herds. Alasar was left all alone and nowhere left to go, nothing left to lead. He was near dying one day when one of his own kind stumbled across him. She was beautiful. Her name was Atila, she was the most gorgeous red roan mare Alasar had ever seen. Her mane flowed like the clouds, her eyes sparkled with joy, even her sweet expression brought poor Alasar some point of hope. Once Alasar began to learn more about Atila, he soon found himself falling deeply in love with her. Not long after she chose him to become her lead stallion, she became pregnant with one of his foals. She was lucky enough to have twins, which is what saved their breed from extinction.
Though Alasar and Atila are not still with us here in this world today, they certainly did provide us with a very special and rare gift, the Timber Horse.
-The Timber Horse is very different from most wild horses you'll find out in the open. This breed has been gifted with solid black tribal markings that are elegantly placed on different parts of their body. Mainly found on the legs, shoulders, hips, and also the face.
-If it doesn't have at least one black tribal type marking somewhere on it's body, then you can rest assure that it's not a Timber. <u>All</u> Timber Horses must have tribal markings. The markings are what sets the breed apart form any other.
-They are thin in stature, have very long legs. Head and jaws are very nicely curved to give them a well defined facial expression. Chest and hips are always stocky. This is a great running breed. They are built for endurance and built to last.
