GO BOY’S
BLACK ANGEL
Wins Stake
Whenever the name of Pin Oak comes up in horse
show circles, most people automatically think, ’'class.”
Now in its twenty-fifth year, this Houston, Texas
classic can boast of many things including the partici­
pation of some of the finest Tennessee Walking Horses
in the nation. Looking back over the years we see the
names erf such outstanding World Champions as BE­
LOVED BELINDA, TRIPLE THREAT, MR. SENSA­
TION, FAIR WARNING, THE IMPALA, MIDNIGHT
QUEEN B, SUN’S JET PARADE, HAPPY DAYS
AGAIN, MERRY SOUVENIR, and RODGERS PER­
FECTION. This year we add the name of GO BOY’S
BLACK ANGEL to this impressive list
Being held during the same week as the Columbia
Spring Jubilee naturally hampered the participation
of some people, but there were horses to spare in
most classes. The Pin Oak Stables is an established
name in the business and the facilities for the show
are excellent In addition to ample stable facilities,

the ring is partially enclosed and, unless severe wea­
ther hampers proceedings, the show can go on even
in the rain, which it did this year. The judge for the
1969 show was David Welsh of Union, Kentucky, who
reportedly did his usual excellent job of tying horses.
Pin Oak involves everything encompassing the show
horse world. There were twelve performances for the
eightday show which was climaxed for us by the
Walking Horse Championship on Sunday evening,
June 8. With a total of one hundred and two classes,
there was a full schedule of activity for everyone in­
cluding Walking Horse enthusiasts, who were treated
to fourteen classes.
If you have never attended Pin Oak, you should
make a note to include it next year if at all possible.
It is a wonderful show with plenty of social activity
and fun for everyone.
