Unfortunately, after generations of breeding horses, the bloodlines had been dispersed so widely that the legendary sires' genetics were almost lost to time. Then a man came along with the foresight and determination to restore and preserve the valuable Foundation Bloodlines. That man was Fred G. Gist. Heritage is the story of Mr. Gist's visionary work at the Wagon Wheel Ranch, and the impact he had on the future of the American Quarter Horse. Join us as an Emmy Award Winning Director tells the story of how a geologist changed the face of horse breeding in America with a natural instinct, diligent research, and a passion that carries his legacy on to this day. From his meeting with a geneticist to learn the science of breeding, to his cross-country travels to gather the remaining Foundation Bloodlines, to his pushing the genetic limit of horse inbreeding - Fred Gist blazed a trail from the past to the present by restoring these magnificent animals and enhancing their bloodlines for generations to come.
