COVER STORY ( Contd .)
( Continued from Page 4 )
His night of triumph came , and EBONY MASTERPIECE was crowned the Grand Champion Walking Horse of the World before one of the most enthusiastic crowds ever assembled at the famed Celebration Grounds .
By SON OF MIDNIGHT ( Known as SKIPPER ’ S SON OF MID NIGHT ) and out of LADY LEE . a daughter of old MERRY BOY , EBONY MASTERPIECE carries the bloodlines of many of the most outstanding Tennessee Walking Horses the breed has yet produced . His dam ’ s pedigree carries the strains of EARNHEART BROOKS F25 and such noted names as
ALLEN F-l , ROAN ALLEN F-38 , BIRDIE MESSICK F-86 , NELL DE MENT F-3 , GERTRUDE ALLEN F-84 and MERRY LEGS F-4 to add depth to his personal stature .
EBONY MASTERPIECE is now standing , as he has in preceeding seasons , at the S . W . BEECH Breeding Stables in Belfast , Tennessee , just outside of Lewisburg . Having had a most successful breeding career since his Celebration victory , MASTERPIECE added still another triumph to his record by winning the 1964 “ GET OF SIRE ” Class at the Celebration and also by having one of his colts selected as winner of the Weanling Horse Colt Championship in the 1964 Futurity of the TW . H . B .& E . A .
These are just a few of the many outstanding colts by EBONY MASTERPIECE that are now making a name for themselves as showring performers and for their famous sire as a great breeding horse . MASTERPIECE was perhaps most famous for his consistant and natural performance of the Flatfoot Walk and Running Walk in the showring and it is obvious that he possess an unusual ability to pass these traits , along with his perfect confirmation down to his progeny .
