V. June Collins of Yreka, California, wrote about the ABRA
insignia. She had designed it in 1967, incorporating the original
horse’s head then used at the start of the registry in 1963. It was
voted by the board, and accepted as their logo that same year.
The Buckskin, Grulla, and Red Dun takes it’s deserving place in
horsedom, wearing it’s crown in regal pride. Shown in a hard luck
horseshoe denoting the struggle for survival the breed has endured
through neglect, and abuse, yet regularly producing it’s own color
(the original color of nearly every known breed of horse today).
Held together by this strength, a golden chain, “B-U-C-K-S-K-I-N-S”
of nine links, alloyed together with “G-R-U-L-L-A” and “D-U-N” to
restore, nurture, treasure and become ever stronger. The banner of
American Buckskins rightfully continues to fly.
