Miss
Mitzie Trim was a daughter of Cotrim. Cotrim, by Colida (ApHC Hall of Fame),
was a halter, performance and race winner. She was bred by Milton S. Irwin of Oswego, Kansas. I purchased "Hominy" as a 2-year-old from JL Talley, who was
a long time Appaloosa exhibitor and spokesman for the breed. Mr. Talley showed
her as a yearling. Hominy was my first Appaloosa and not only taught me to
ride, she taught my sister and many of our friends. Hominy went to college with
me where I was able to board her close to the University where I attended. She
took me and many of my friends on memorable trail rides to Lake Degray. Even after she lost her sight to moon blindness at
age 16, she was a dependable mount for anyone that wanted to ride. She had such
a sweet temperament and is the reason I became an Appaloosa breeder. Even
though she was bred several times, regrettably, she never produced a foal.
Hominy was a member of my family and is greatly missed.
