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 .
