Trivia Archive 2

Sure, it's okay to post my name.

Could dat be ole "Silver Sam" Coco is riding ???

I believe that it is Perfection's Straw Hat.

CoCo is correct, Perfections Straw Hat was at Doug Wolavers barn, when the picture was published in the 1970 Blue Ribbon. Would Ola Archer have been in that class too? WHERE THE BLACK BAY STOCKING ENDS AT THE ANKLE, ON THE LEFT HIND FOOT, I THINK THE LIGHT MAKES IT LOOK SORTA STRANGE.

I don't remember Ola showing much in performance classes; I do remember her showing in pleasure classes though. What do you see on his ankle?

Let's try this one again...




Who Dat?

Hint: This man's wife showed a lot and was a little woman...

C. Ray Carter, can't remember his wife's name to save my soul. They was Virginia folks.

C. Ray Carter is correct. One of the horses is The Operator, but I'm not sure which one.....perhaps the weanling. His wife usually showed as "Mrs. C. Ray Carter" did she not? I'm thinking her first name might have been Ruth, but Im not sure. I'm sure somebody will remember. I think they were nice folks.

Big ED...Ruth (now deceased), was his wife that showed for many many yrs. Weren't they native Virginians and from the Lynchburg area? Same area Ramsey's from.


SB...You got it and we posted at the same time.

SB, I see what you mean; I believe it must be a shadow on his ankle. BTW, thanks for the photo. I looked for that one and couldn't find it anywhere. Brings back great memories of the good old days!

I always enjoyed seeing Ruth show and watching Mr C Ray while she was in the ring....He was so cute, he would rock (deeply) as she cantered. She was a little lady and come to think of it, not sure how she cued her horse to canter??? Guess it was voice command as I don't think she could have bumped with her foot as they were generally cued back them. They were a sweet couple. Didn't she show out of Ronald Young's barn?

Wallace Brandon and the Hubbards; Ed and can't think of Mrs Hubbard's name and daughter Margaret...don't know which horse this is????

I like Ed's pants.

I believe Mrs. Hubbard's name was Dorothy...I may be wrong??? BD...I love those pants too! I think my Daddy had some similar to those...do you remember that he had some pretty wild clothes too?

Yep I do remember your daddy wearing lots of colorful, possibly plaid pants - after all we were in the 70's.
Seems like my daddy never noticed any changes in fashion - I hardly ever saw him in anything other than khaki pants and a manhattan shirt (had to have 2 pockets) and a bird dog whistle hanging around his neck.

I think the horse on the right that Margaret is holding is Shadow's Sterling.

The gray horse is Shadow Sterling Wallace won the 4 yr. geilding class with him and Maraget won the 4 yr old Amt geilding class with him. The mare was Dixie Delight Wallace won the 15.2 under mare class with her. Mr Hubbard bought the two horses about 6 weeks before the Celebration from Wallace.

All answers are correct. That's the Hubbards with Wallace Brandon.
Couldn't get Shadow's Sterling in this photo, since it was printed across the centerfold.

OHM
Your right on the Carters from Lynchburg. I think they owned an office supply company.
Russell Davis was also from that part of the state I think.

Ruth Carter rode Scatman's Tomcat I believe. Also rode a little 15.2 horse called "Sparkling Burgandy", but I think he was shown under another name before they got him. Might have been a pony at one time?

Sparkling Burgandy was shown in the pony class after Mrs. Carter by Charlie Brown Merriman. His name was changed to The Cooper Penny and was trained by JT and Marianne. I believe he won the pony class somewhere around 1980 or 1981.

Oooh Rhinestone...Very pretty..Love your Horse!!! I raised Half Arab Paints for awhile and fell in with love the "Spots". It is so much fun in foaling season! Foals are always exciting and we are always anxious to see what color they are going to be; what sex; etc...BUT with the spotted babies it extra special EXCITING!!! You've got all these other things plus the color; how much of it and pattern...so much fun!!! Yours sure is a beauty!

Thank you, Hill. She is my gentle giant. Her name is Hard Rock Superstar.
