Star came from Calvin Miller's 24,000 acre Double Diamond Ranch in Rhame, North Dakota, along with her sister Ebony's Dakota Fashion, to Colorado and packed into the Sangre de Cristo mountain range. The two mares, along with Blue Gold formed the foundation stock of Lazy Y Arrow Ranch, also known as Arrow's Walkers.

"Fashion, Star, and Blue (and their offspring- many still in our herd) all trace to two notable Tennessee Walking Horses: Roy Roger's Trigger, Jr. (registered as Allen's Gold Zephyr) and Hill's Perfection (registered as Reycliff Mid Merry). Both of these ancestors have solidified a spot in Tennessee Walking Horse history. The movie star,"Trigger", was known for his kinship with Roy Rogers. All of the palominos in our herd trace to Trigger, Jr.! Although, admittedly, none of them know as many tricks as Roy Rogers' pal! Hill's Perfection's claim to fame was in the show ring. Dr. Bob Womack wrote of him as "(the horse) that launched what is, perhaps the most outstanding show career in Walking Horse history." and "the incomparable gelding (that) went on to establish the most impressive Celebration record of any horse in history."! He was shown flat shod! His son, Sun's Merry Man stood as a stallion at the Double Diamond Ranch for years and was the ONLY Hill's Perfection offspring to reproduce. Our first breeding stock started us off with the blood of these two, among other, greats." - Arrow's Walkers
