1969 JUBILEE JUDGES— Marking ihe cards for the 1969 Columbia Spring Jubilee were( left to right): Buddy Moore, Shelbyville, Tennessee; Jack Moorman, Forest, Mississippi; and Jim Babb, Fort Oglethorpe, Georgia.
Judges for the 1969 show were Jim Babb of Fort Oglethorpe, Georgia; Jack Moorman of Forrest, Mississippi; and Buddy Moore of Shelbyville, Tennessee; with Harold Sherrill of Knoxville judging gaited horses. Master of Ceremonies was the ever-popular Pete Yokley of Pulaski, Tennessee, and his program was backed up by the music of Jimmy Richardson at the organ. Ringmasters were Jim Begarly, Tom Hogan, Jr., Larry Morton, Carrol Wall, Loyd Huckaby, Jr., and Phil Lemon. Official Farrier was Jim Alexander of Shelbyville, and Paddock Master was Powell Hines. Co-ordinating the show were Harold Ledbetter and
Neal Wall. An extra added attraction was GO BOY’ S ROYAL
HEIR, the 1968 World Grand Champion, who put on special exhibitions ridden by Donald Paschal for owners Dr. and Mrs. Claude Sexton of Florence, South Carolina. The popular champion never looked better
and despite a hard breeding season he can still " come up” in great form. When " Jubilee ' 70” rolls around we will probably see a new Yorld Champion on exhibition and if our
champions improve as much as this show... look out, it’ s going to be a thriller!
COLUMBIA TWO-YEAR-OLD CHAMPION SELLS FOR RECORD PRICE
Dude Crowder, Walking Horse trainer from Creedmoor, North Carolina, recently informed us that he was agent in the sale of DELIGHT’ S RED SHADOW for a substantial five-figure price. This very popular and much-touted two-year-old stallion recently captured the fancy of the Walking Horse world by winning an outstanding victory at the Columbia Spring Jubilee, defeating one of the finest groups of young horses ever assembled. Previously owned by W. H. Medlin of Raleigh, North Carolina, this beautiful chests
nut stallion by SUN’ S DELIGHT was purchased by C. M. Waters, Jr. of Alexandria, Louisiana, and has
been placed in training at the C. A. Bobo & Sons Stables in Shelbyville, Tennessee, where he will be trained for even higher honors this year. This is the second year in a row that young Mr. Crowder has attracted the acclaim of horse enthusiasts with his stock at the Jubilee. Last year he won an outstanding victory in the two-year-old filly class with COPY’ S RECORD, who also sold shortly thereafter for a top price. She is now in training with Bill Hutson at Barnwell Stables in Shreveport, La., and is reported to be doing very well as a three-year-old.
We would like to add that the apparent success of Mr. Crowder with young horses does not indicate that he is only a " two-year-old man.” He has also had much success with his older stock as well as some top amateur and juvenile horses.
I’ m an heir of the great Sun’ s Delight—
A smart, 2-year old son— a real sight. *
At that some folks may wheeze—
And then snort— scoff-— and sneeze—
To them I say only—“ Gesundheit”!!
