That fall, Joy and Ten won and placed at the State Fair of Texas in both events. So as a 2-year-old she took him to the Ernest Wilson clinic at Aubrey, Texas where horse and rider were polished up for Trail and Western Pleasure Riding.

Eager to learn and with a good disposition, Ten had the makings of an all-around horse for herself. The sorrel overo was foaled in March 1982, a product of Joy's breeding operation. The siblings are also blessed with excellent memories of the many ponies and horses they have owned, bred and trained together, including Mr. Being predisposed to teach, not only people but equines, is inherent for both Joy and her brother Earl Martin, who trained horses for police work. Now semi-retired, she teaches science to pre-med students at Paris Jr College. Joy and husband Charlie have a small horse farm near Sulphur Springs where they care for Ten and four more registered Paint horses. She's also an animal lover, nurturing and caring for any living thing that crosses her path, including her growing family of rescue cats.

Joy Martin Doss, Ten's owner, is best known by her friends as an educator and a devoted horsewoman. At almost 40 years of age, he holds this unique equine distinction as a member of the American Paint Horse Breed Association while actually looking half his age! I didn't have to travel far, as 'Ten' lives near me in Hopkins County, Texas and his owner is a friend of mine. I had the pleasure of meeting the oldest registered Paint horse in America during the Spring of 2021.
