“An Awesome Mister” Retires
After a storied show and breeding career, An Awesome Mister, found a forever home to live out the rest of his days. Taylor Hanes of Shel- byville, Tennessee offered a retirement home to a horse he has admired for many years. “I’ve always been very intrigued that he has so much to offer confor- mation wise and yet he is a two-time Congress Champion western plea- sure horse and produced so many great halter and performance horses,” Hanes told GoHorse-
