As a colt, before he grayed out, Indraff had a blaze and a front stocking.[2] Indraff was sold as a young horse to Donald Schutz, who kept him as a breeding stallion for a number of years before selling him to Bazy McCormick Miller, later Bazy Tankersley of Al-Marah Arabians.[1] Schutz used the money to begin Schutz Brothers, a business manufacturing horse equipment, ran today by Schutz's son, Mitchell Schutz. Indraff was registered with the Arabian Horse Club Registry of America, the precursor to the Arabian Horse Association as number 1575.[3]
Indraff sired 254 purebred Arabian foals, and had over 2700 grandget. He was one of the foundation sires of the Al-Marah breeding program, one of the most prolific and influential farms in United States Arabian breeding circles.[1][4]
Indraff died on August 22, 1963.[1]
