Leo - 1940

“Leo (Legends 1), a 1940 sorrel stallion by Joe Reed II and out of Little Fanny, was among the breed’s top sprinters in the early to mid-1940s. By the mid-1950s... Leo was generally acknowledged as a top source for speed.”

Leo “has influenced the breed at every aspect and at every level.” He is listed in the AQHA Hall of Fame.
