SPRING JUBILEE( Cont ' d.)
choice of the judges was FASCINA TION B, ridden by Jack Warren for W. T. Baynard, Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Reserve honors went to SUN’ S GOLDEN GIRL, with Sam Paschal up for Dr. Arthur Glover, Madison, West Virginia. This unusually strong class included mares that have been winning their share of blue ribbons all over the country. The winner of this class, therefore, must be considered one of the favorites for world championship status.
The smallest class in the shows saw eight Lady-Amateur riders on Walking Horses make up in quality what they lacked in quantity. The unanimous winner of this class was Mrs. Frank Parnell, riding her great LADY GODIVA. Mrs. Betty Collins rode MACK K’ S AMANDA to reserve honors for Barnwell Stables, Shreveport, Louisiana.
GO BOY’ S DESTINY, with Richard Pate up for the Circle R Stables, West Point, Mississippi, won a split decision in the class for two-year-old walking stallions or geldings. Second honors went to SUN’ S DIAMOND JIM, owned by Phelan and Barker, Humbolt and Trenton, and ridden by Chalmus Davenport, Jr.
One of the most exciting classes of the show was that for Walking Ponies, riders 18 and under. Tied to the blue for the consistent job that he did was LITTLE BIT OF TROUBLE, ridden by Ray Beech for Joe Kelly, Jr., Columbia. Very popular with the spectators was a pony that can really go on, LIT TLE DUDE, owner and ridden by Dickie Reese, Gallatin.
CINDY’ S SHADOW, owned by Mr. W. G. Robinson, Chattanooga, and ridden by Donald Paschal, put on a sparkling performance to win honors in the class for three-yearold walking mares. This beautiful black filly, undefeated in 1964, seems to get better with each show. Reserve in the class went to JET’ S ROCKET, ridden by Wink Groover for Mr. Jerry Armstrong, Etowah.
Feature of the class for fouryear-old and over walking geldings was a three-horse workout among
MERRY BOY’ S JACK POT, ridden by Jack Darnell, SHADOW’ S JET, ridden by Wink Groover, and GOLDEN SOUVENIR, ridden by Jack Warren. Winning a split decision was the head- shaking MERRY BOY’ S JACK POT, owned by Darnell and Graham, Huntsville, Alabama, and Meridian, Mississippi. Judy Wiser’ s popular SHADOW’ S JET gained reserve honors in the class. A close third was GOLDEN SOUVENIR, owned by Dr. and Mrs. Thomas L. Gorsuch, Waynesboro, Virginia.
Continuing his winning ways in top amateur classes of the country, Mr. W. T. Baynard, Baton Rouge, Lousiana, rode his SUN- DUST SENSATION to victory in the class for“ Ladies and Gentlemen Amateur Riders on Walking Horses,” thus Mr. Baynard became the first to win the new challenge trophy which he himself had donated to replace the one w^iich he
retired last year. A close second was BOMB’ S BALLY HOO, owned and ridden by D’ Leese Williamson, Jackson, Mississippi. It was the consensus of observers that both of these fine horses are“ blueribbon quality.”
In the class for“ Walking Stallions, Four Years Old and Over,” the unanimous choice of the judges was GO BOY’ S SUN DUST, ridden by Bud Dunn for Dr. and Mrs. B. S. Henry, Russellville, Alabama. Those who have been watching this magnificent Walking Horse throughout the season claim that he is getting better with every show. He was certainly at a peak for the big class at the Jubilee. Reserve honors went to BLACK GOLD, with Donald Paschal riding for Mr. and Mrs. Hugh Gillen, Cheasepeake, Ohio. A close third was TOMBSTONE, ridden by Jack Warren for Dr. Rex P. Foster, Jr., Waterloo, Iowa.
With such a tremendous show in 1964, what is the future of the Spring Jubilee? After talking with the horse show committee, one can only believe that it will continue to grow bigger and better. There is a strong possibility that the show will be expanded to three nights in 1965. Additional classes, including a Walking Horse Stake, will probably be in the future of a show that is already among the best in the country.
