GO BOY'S SUN DUST
1967 WORLD CHAMPION RETIRED
AT MONTGOMERY
GO BOY’S SUN DUST, the 1967 World’s Grand
Champion Tennessee Walking Horse, was officially
retired at the recent Montgomery Southern Champ­
ionship Horse Show. As the lights of the big indoor
arena of the Garrett Coliseum dimmed and the spot­
light picked up the entrance of a black stallion as
he came around the ring, the large crowd burst into
immediate applause.
It was GO BOY’S SUN DUST, the 1967 World’s
Grand Champion Tennessee Walking Horse, making
his last performance under saddle. In the center of
the ring stood Dr. and Mrs. B. S. Henry of Russell-
^
and their two daughters, as they
watched with mixed emotions. Trainer Doug Wolaver,
Who rode GO BOY’S SUN DUST to his 1967 victory,
earned the horse both ways of the ring in three flaw-
ss an beautiful gaits. Many observers stated that
ne is one of the most natural and exciting World
C w^PI°uS We have had in years.
