In 1911, Casement purchased his first "Steeldust" horse, buying Concho Colonel sight unseen from William Anson of Christoval, Texas, and brought it back to his ranch in Kansas. Casement liked the stallion so much he bought Concho Colonel?s best son, Balleymooney. This started a passion in Casement for the breed.
