This guitar player and his band recorded a song about the Tennessee Walking Horse in 1967. Many walking horse enthusiasts purchased this record. What was the name of the song?

Hint: You can probably guess this if you try.....

The Tennessee Stud.

The Tennessee Stud

Back about eighteen and twenty five I left Tennessee very much alive I never would have made it through the Arkansas mud if I hadn't been riding on the Tennessee stud...
The Tennessee stud was long and lean the color of the sun and his eyes were green.

Wonder what color that made him?
Anyway, one of my very favorite songs. I have a passion for TWH's and for old country music!

Good guesses, but incorrect. Tennessee Stud is one of my old favorites also, and we've played almost every single version there has ever been on the Jukebox topic.

The answer is: WALK ON by the Phil Baugh Trio.....

What WGC won 4 Championships in 4 different states in 4 weeks time?

Hint: It was NOT a stud hoss!

I'm gonna say Talk of the Town.

I thought that would be the next guess, but that is incorrect sir!
That narrows it down now, don't it?

Midnight Merry?

Nope, it was actually CITY GIRL. Not sure what 4 states she visited and what 4 shows she won during that 4 week period, but I think maybe the Lebonheur (sp) show in Memphis might have been one of them.

How much did Ross Perot pay for Hill'sPerfection when he bought him? I think Mr. Perot bought Delight's Double OO and another horse about the seme time back in the 1970's. Didn't he also buy Delight's Red Shadow for his daughter to ride? With him so tight with his money I didn't understand why he spend it on Walking Horses.

Can't answer your questions about the $$$ Dutch, but Ross did purchase all of the horses you mentioned, as well as another one called Rising Sun, which his daughter also showed.

Smitty...Was Mr. Perot's Rising Sun the same palomino stallion once owned by Bill Tomlinson of Wilkesboro NC? I knew the horse when Jack Johnson trained him...I showed him a few times for Mr. Tomlinson also. I think he may have moved him to Bobo's later on?? Elvis Presley supposedly contacted Mr Tomlinson about purchasing Rising Sun and was going to come see him one of the times that I showed him; but was a no show. Everybody was all excited and stayed up half the night waiting on him but even though I was just a little girl; by 3:00AM I was more than a little suspicious about Elvis' intentions??

Hill, I don't know, but I wouldn't doubt it. I have a picture of Nancy Perot on Rising Sun and I'll try to post it this evening, if I get a chance. Elvis did buy a horse called Rising Sun, but it was a Palomino Quarter Horse, not a TWH.

I had some pictures of me on Rising Sun too; but they are in the "Missing File". He was a very pretty golden colored palomino. I think he was only a 3 yr old when I showed him; but I can't be sure. Even as a young stallion he had a great disposition and had a lot of walk to him. If I am not mistaken; he was a Midnight Sun son; or maybe he was a grandson...from what I remember he went like the Midnight Sun horses. I always liked him; he reminded me of Hill's Perfection in his gait...he didn't have as much front end; but "walked all over" like Hill.

As to Elvis...I remember all the women (the mother's and wife's) got all fixed up to go to THIS horse show (it was in Wilkesboro)...all the beauty shops in town were booked solid! I had aunts and close family friends that had NEVER seen me on a horse coming to watch me ride...they were ALL decked out in too tight clothes and teased high hair and way too much make-up I wanted to crawl under that big ole' box van!!!! I definitely didn't get it and it seemed that the men were just as excited. :scratch: It was a party atmosphere at this show for sure...plenty of brown bag passin' and happy faces! That is until Elvis didn't show....then these adults had to go home and think about how disappointed they were and how physically bad they felt on top of that!!

The Rising Sun that Mr. Perot bought was a palomino

The Tennessee Stud song has always made me think about a Champagne colored horse for some reason.

I always thought palomino until I grew up and learned a little about equine genetics then I wondered about the green eyes thing and decided it must be champagne.

It would be a champagne, some have green eyes instead of amber. I had a GOLD Champagne TWH. Still have a sable cream champagne mini stallion. Owned & raised about 6 others, gold's & ambers.

I am not familiar with the champagne color...what is the difference between champagne and palomino?? are the manes always white or cream colored?? I had always pictured the color in my mind's eye; as a dun with a white mane and amber or green eyes?? But Jean mentioned having a Gold champagne; so I looked one up (only found one on this particular site) and it looked like a Palomino??
And what is the difference between a Perlino and a Cremello?? Is it easy to get a Palomino or Champage foal out of a perlino or cremello mare?... if so; what color stallion do you breed them to??

1968

Leaving soon , but will get on here with more info on Champagnes later.

That would be the same Rising Sun! I guess I showed him in 1967...that was about what I was thinking. It would have been while he was still at Jack's barn in N Wilkesboro. I needed my memory jogged (more like shaken); but I now remember this picture of him and Suzanne....strange that I couldn't remember that they had owned him until I saw this picture?? He was a pretty nice little horse!!
Smitty; Thanks for posting the pictures!
