Edith Stanger

Edith Stanger's Double Arrow ranches, located in Idaho Falls, Idaho, exchanged Paint for Appaloosa spots in 1951 after attending the Appaloosa National Show in Lewiston, Idaho. The first to export Appaloosas, often by the planeload, the ranch held 16 production sales. Stanger acted as manager, forwarding agent and coordinator for each of the exports. In her spare time, Stanger was a co-founder of the Intermountain Appaloosa Club, the Snake River Valley Horse Show, the Idaho Horse Council, and was elected to the ApHC's national board of directors, serving on the racing and planning and review committees and as chairperson of the regional committee.  Stanger's equine knowledge saw her included in a study tour of the Light Horse industries in the Soviet Union, Poland, Hungary, Austria, Germany, France, England and Ireland. Stanger has also published a book, "Fifty Years of Appaloosa History," "a thorough history of the people and organization that became the Appaloosa Horse Club."
