Markings were a snip, and a streak on the face. Standing around {{convert|15|hands}}, he was leggy but well muscled, although George Clegg said the horse was the shortest backed horse he had ever seen.[4] He was also owned by the Shely brothers, who bred most of his most famous offspring. While owned by Seay, Traveler was match raced extensively in Texas.[5] Traveler died in 1912 and sources estimate his age at 32.[2][6] He sired such influential Quarter Horses as Little Joe, King (later named Possum), Jim Ned, Judge Thomas, Texas Chief, and Captain Joe.[1] Other descendants included Joe Reed II, Hard Twist, Silver King, Tonto Bars Hank, and Tonto Bars Gill.[7] Traveler was inducted into the AQHA Hall of Fame in 1994.[6] Notes1. ^1 Simmons, et al.
