Steeldust
In early times, even before the Civil War, many Texas cattlemen relocated their stock in other Western states. To make that journey, they rode a type of horse they called Steeldust. The original Steel Dust had been one of the fastest sprinters in the history of Texas and one of the greatest sires of Texas cowhorses. He was foaled in South Carolina about the time of the American Revolution and is still recognized as a foundation sire of the American quarter horse.Steel Dust’s legacy to cattlemen is so great that today, because they have known his progeny, cattlemen in mountain areas of Mexico who have never heard of the term quarter horse call that breed the Steeldust horse. Old time ranchers in the West still honor that name, because they remember his tough prototype, the horse that helped them make a living after cattle over Rocky Mountains, through ponderosa forests, cactus-ridden deserts, and mesquite thickets.This tale is about one horse who carried Steel Dust’s good name.
