Roan Wolf, by George Comfort- ("Roanie's Maternal Great Grandsire)

(Excerpts) -- ..."Roan Wolf turned into a fine calf roping horse and was roped off of both at shows and professional rodeos. He was GRAND CHAMPION in reining and CHAMPION Roping Horse at Odessa, Texas, and third in the Cutting with 33 in his class. Also, CHAMPION in Reining at Lamesa. At Vernon, Texas, in 1949, ridden by John Dalton, he tied for Senior Roping with Don McLaughlin's Pop. Roan Wolf was roped on professionally by Bill Linderman, John Dalton and Monroe Tumlinson, winning "considerable money" for them.

Horseman/journalist, Ralph Dye, was a great admirer of Roan Wolf and writes about one time he rode the horse and says in his book "Horse Tradin' and Other Tales" that Roan Wolf was "light as a feather on the reins and smooth as one would want."

...He was the sire of many good usin' horses, a few of which will be listed here: RBM Duster Wolf-AQHA Champion, ROM Arena; RBM Roan Harmon-ROM Arena. Ralph Dye's horse.
