(guesses are welcome........we're pretty casual here)

Alabama?

We'll catch up before long. I have tons of old pictures that I should upload to you, and have promised myself that I will start uploading vhs tapes to dvds after the holidays. I have them from as far back as early '80's, and no idea what I have...boxes and boxes of them! Can you remember my dad and all the videos he took? They're here!

Sure I remember your Dad, and Paula too. Now that you mention him shooting videos, that seems to spur some old visons, but again they are awfully fuzzy. I remember showing up at Morehead indoors, that is kind of vivid still

If you showed on the Kentucky circuit, Morehead was the place to be...first show of the year, and the last. And they did host the Ky. Celebration for a time. Lots of memories of great Ky. horses from that show ring!

Here's a little KY trivia for ya....Who showed:

1. The Pleasure Seeker
2. Drummer's Delight
3. Go Boy's Country Jake
4. Delight's Midnight (hehe...)
5. Go Boy's Roadrunner

6. Ebony's Tinker Bell

1. The Pleasure Seeker...John Jackson
2. Drummer's Delight...Tim Thomas
3. Go Boy's Country Jake...Deedy Whitamore and Benjie Donaldson
4. Delight's Midnight...Jumbo Boyd
5. Go Boy's Roadrunner...Bill Bailey, Lana Finney, Dee Dee (Miller) Sale
6. Tinker Belle...Leigh Stuart Bennett

5 for 5. I didn't think you'd miss any of those, except maybe Drummer's Delight (LOL). Didn't know you showed Road Runner........do you remember Holly Liddell winning a class with him once? Also, another rider of Major's Tinker Belle is online with us right now........

I REALLY need some more photos of Ole Jum........he was a Kentucky Legend!

Alright need some more guesses. There are 16 people online right now. Some of you regulars chime in!

???

I thought after I sent that post that Holly also showed Roadrunner, and Melanie Neuber showed Tink. I was honored to show Roadrunner one year at the Celebration and later that fall at the Dixie Jubilee. He was a fun little horse to ride.

Also, I have some pics of Jum with Lightfoot that I'll send you.

Melanie is a new member here and just signed on last week. She was on here a while ago, but is offline right now, I think????

Sure, I'll take ALL the pics you can send!!!! LOL

I'm going to take a short break now, but will be back at 2:30 or so.

Maybe Floyd will show up!

This question is still up for grabs.
We've had one guess on Alabama which is not the answer.
Surely, somebody can guess this.

Here's a hint: It is NOT a Southern State

Ohio?

Rhode Island

Higgins, *really*.....Rhode Island? I don't think so........

Haven't a clue, but since i'm from California, I'll say Cali......???

Talk about dumb beginner's luck......

We need to get The Dude a horse and name it "Surf's Up, Dude"!

TRUE or FALSE: Ronal Young once trained Delight's Crackerjack?

TRUE. I had 2 horses with Ronal in the late '70's and early '80's, and I'm almost sure that Delight's Crackerjack was there for awhile during that time period.

jryan, thanks for posting!

You are CORRECT!

Actually, I never knew this myself. I remember Phil Snodgrass & John Harney showing Crackerjack, but didn't ever remember Ronal having him later on until I saw it in an old Voice. I believe Eldridge Brawner showed him in Amateur classes at that time.

He was a nice little hoss! A World Champion 15.2 Horse if memory serves.

Two sisters won the A & B divisions of the Two Year Old Amateur Mare & Gelding class in the same year in the 1980's. Who were they?

The POLLACKS?
