...and the answer is:

HORSEMANSHIP

...also called "Riding" class in some disciplines. There are, of course, many disciplines of Equitation, but from what I can gather, "Horsemanship" was what Equitation was originally called in the Saddlebred world's early days. I think it has always been called Equitation in the TWH industry, but I could be wrong.

What was the first 17-hands tall TWH to win the WGC?

ANOTHER MASTERPIECE

I think that may be correct........were there any others? How tall was Midnight Sun? Mtn Man?

Midnight Sun I think was about 15.3 and stout. Old Glory's Big Man and Shaker's Shocker were big ole hosses.

Old Glory's Big Man looks like he might have been at least 16 hands.

Who was the SMALLEST horse to win the WGC?

Royal Heir or Main Power.

I guess you could throw Mark of Carbon and Santana's El Nino in that mix...

If memory serves me Mt. man was over 17 hands. I know he was a big son of a gun !

My question is ; How do you compare? Barefooted or with pads. The older champs had shoe or shoe and a leather only, later champs had some huge packages on them. My guess is The Super Stock was one of the smaller. About 15.2. I think he only had 2 or 2-1/4 inches of pad. He could sure blow up and look like he was 17 hands.

Ebony's Threat and Santana were both ponies.

Royal Heir and Main Power were/are ponies.

flashy pride was at pony

SETTING SUN was one of the smallest studs to ever win the big stake. A number of his get were champion pony winners in later years.

Below is a genuine 3D photo of Charlie Bobo (background) looking at some Carbon Copy colts in the foreground. To get the "3D effect", you must have a pair of 3D glasses. You can get a free pair here:

What horse was on the paper cover of the first edition of "The Echo of Hoofbeats"?

Strolling Jim

I think that's correct. What horse graced the cover of later version(s)?

Midnight Sun

SUNS DELIGHT

To tell the truth, I'm not really sure; although I assume MIB is right. Below is a small pic of the later covers.
