OK.  Already confirmed Hal Dale is the connection so it's one of his sons.  Giveaway hint.  What weather event happens in early spring or late fall that causes you to have to worry about your plants?

Dale Frost  Daddy of Meadow Skipper
I am just an old horse trainer still going around in circles. Sometimes Fast. Sometimes Half-Fast.

You got it.  This is the info I read.  Didn't connect it to your name "Meadow" Ford until later.

p,1:58m $204,117
Dale Frost was the first standardbred stallion to be collected artificially. From the Harness Racing Museum: Dale Frost, son of Hal Dale-Galloway, was the sire of such great pacers as world champion Meadow Skipper and Fulla Napoleon. He was a top racehorse with career earnings of $204,117. His progeny had 216 wins in 1967 alone, earning well over a half-million dollars and ranking him among the nation's top sires. Dale Frost will always be remembered, though, as the sire of Meadow Skipper, who had such a historic impact on the sport as a producer of pacing champions and sires. Dale Frost died at age seventeen in 1968.

There is a story out there that Countess Vivian was booked to Adios, but Adios had a fever or something so last minute she was bred to Dale Frost. Result Meadow Skipper.

Never heard that but the result impacted the industry for decades. 

Nowadays there are so many outcross sires that inbreeding is going to really be a thing of the past.  Albatross had Hal Dale maternally and paternally and where are his descendants? Niatross and Nihilator did not leave any males to continue the line.
