ONE OF FOUR — Gregg Gochneaur is pictured re­
ceiving one of four blue ribbons he captured on
the Florida Circuit with GREGG'S PERFECTION,
one of the nation’s leading juvenile mounts.
For several years the name of
''Gochneaur” has been well known
throughout the Walking Horse bus­
iness. The senior member of the
family, V. G. "Red” Gochneaur, has
established himself as one of the
most avid competitors in all areas
of the horse business, and his son
Gregg is obviously "following in his
father’s footsteps," because he too
loves to show Walking Horses. Young
Mr. Gochneaur is taking steady aim
this year on the Juvenile Champ­
ionship and a lot of people believe
he has the horse to do it with . . .
GREGG’S PERFECTION.
GREGG’S PERFECTION Attracts Acclaim on Florida Circuit.
Heads String of Top Winners for
Fashion Two Twenty Stables.
The Juvenile Class is one of the
most hotly contested events at any
horse show and 1969 should see the
Finest crop ever. The recent Florida
Circuit served warning that a lot of
youngsters are eager to get started
and they have been working their
horses just as diligently as their
elders. Outstanding at both Tampa
and Winter Haven was Gregg Goch­
neaur on GREGG’S PERFECTION.
This black gelding is well known to
the horse show world. He was the
1968 Junior World Champion Geld­
ing and winner of many impressive
blues throughout the season prior
to the Celebration. Trainer Wallace
Brandon, who showed him last year,
relates that he is one of the Finest
natural Walking Horses he has ever
ridden, and his current trainer, Al­
bert Rowland, attests to this fact.
Current plans call for the Fashion
Two Twenty Stables — including
GREGG’S PERFECTION — to be
4
campaigned on the Southwest Cir­
cuit and then to return to Ohio for
both the Columbus and Cincinnati
Horse Show's. They will then move
to Tennessee to make several im­
portant shows prior to the Celebra­
tion in late August.
No newcomer to the showring,
Gregg Gochneaur enters the ring
with determination and a keen eye.
He is a natural horseman and has
the ability to get the most out of
his horse. This year, whenever he
hits the gate, you will know him by
his Homburg hat. This has become
somewhat of a trademark with his
father and it appears that Gregg will
also become well known for his attire.
GREGG’S PERFECTION is out of
the great show mare, SHADOW’S
BLAZE, and carries all of the Fine
attributes of this outstanding and
popular old show'ring favorite. He is
a big, handsome horse with beauti­
ful conformation and is known for
his head-shaking motion and smooth
running walk. As the 1969 show
season gets underway, watch for the
Fashion Two Twenty Stables from
Aurora, Ohio. If the competition is
keen and the going is rough, you can
bet that "Red” Gochneaur and son
Gregg will be there.
Trainer Albert Rowland has his
hands full training the string of FTT
stock and promises to make himself
known in open classes. In addition
to MR. F.T.T., the Fine Amateur horse
ridden by Mr. Gochneaur, he will be
working and showing such outstand­
ing stock as APRIL LOVE, MISTER
REE, EBONY ROSE and MISS AUD-
RY. When you see the Fashion Two
Twenty Stables truck pull up to a
show, be assured that the team of
Gregg Gochneaur and GREGG’S
PERFECTION will be ready to go.
Watch for them in Juvenile Classes.
