GO BOY'S CHATTERBOX and GO BOY'S SUNDUST
Compete in Great Two-Horse Duel for Championship
The Blue Ribbon winners of the 1967 Columbia
Spring Jubilee reads like a “hall of fame” for Tennessee
Walking Horses. Some of the nation’s greatest and finest
stock was shown during the three nights of the show
before an ever-increasing crowd.
Headline event of the show was a two-horse workout
between GO BOY’S CHATTERBOX, the Reserve World
Grand Champion of 1966, and GO BOY’S SUNDUST,
third place winner in the big stake last year. The crowd
had already seen a great horse show and their rousing
approval greeted the judges’ demand to see two horses
on the rail. As Bud Seaton pulled his fancy bay horse on
the rail, neither he nor Doug Wolaver, his rival on the
famous black stallion, paid much attention to the posi­
tion of the other. It worked out that they were on op­
posite sides of the ring affording the crowd and all three
judges a long look at each horse as he performed.
If conditioning and ability are a must of stake class
competition, these two horses leave little to be desired.
Neither horse appeared to fade during the workout and
on the reverse \vhen the running walk was called, both
made spectacular passes.
GO BOY’S CHATTERBOX was, in the eyes of many
observers, the epitome of Walking Horse perfection at
this show. It would be hard to improve on a horse that
can rear back and show like the bay stallion from Dallas
Texas. He is, without doubt, a credit to the breed and a
great Walking Horse-
