Silvin Hathorn, was born on July 17, 1915 in Nogalus Prairie, TX. He had a love for horses from a young age. He received a bay gelding as payment for a summer job helping his grandfather with farm work. He went on acquiring unregistered horses until September 12, 1958 when he purchased his first registered American Quarter Horse, a 9 month old dun mare named "Beige Polly," and this began his career in the American Quarter Horse Association. On April 27, 1967 he went to look at a 1961 bay stallion named "Whiz Bar" to breed a few of his mares to. After looking at the horse looking at the horse  propositioned the man about buying him and was turned down. On September 11, 1967. The man called him and wanted to know if he was still interested and of course he was. He began showing Whiz at the local show and doing very well, out of 22 shows, he had taken 21 grands including the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo. He was retired from showing to take it easy in the breeding barn. Which he did until fall 1981 when he coliced and passed on. My grandfather then bought Mr. Pacific Bailey, Poco Silvin (by Whiz Bar), Dually Impressive, and Im Rowdy Impressive. All which have now passed on. My Grandfather died on January 18, 1991. He had over 100 head of horses at his death. Today my wife Brandie, son Justin, two daughters Jacie & Jenna, and I Clay Hathorn are still carring on the family name in the horse industry and loving every minute of it.
