Lazy N Redboy
Looking back over the history of AMHA several stallions top the charts for producing World Champions consistently. The word“ great” is bantered back and forth numerous times when it comes to describing most of our historical stallions. What is it that makes a stallion a great stallion? That could be debated for hours, but truth be known the breeder, the owner and the caretaker of a horse must truly believe that a stallion is great, to make him one of those chart topping names. Such was the belief in Lazy N Redboy.
In 1984 Tony Greaves was fortunate enough to be able to attend the dispersal of the Lazy N Stables, in Winters, Texas. The stables were owned by a long time friend of his family, Jno W. Norman. Tony, always with the questioning mind, wondered why Jno was pronounced as“ John”. Tony’ s parents explained there had been two John Normans in the town of Winters and so Mr. Norman, who was an attorney, adopted the name Jno to differentiate between the two of them. Mr. Norman carried that nickname until he died in his late eighties. When his health began failing his good friends, Vern and Betty Brewer, volunteered to help put on a dispersal sale of his Miniatures, Shetlands, and an extensive museum quality collection of horse drawn carriages.
