Let's Talk Walking Horse Trivia

I think Dr. Womack produced the TWH documentary film "A Look Into The Past". Would LOVE to get my hands on a copy of that one.......full of TWH history and information as only Dr. Bob could convey. Not sure when it was made, but my guess would be the 70's or 80's (?)

But that's still not the answer...........this one came much earlier than that.

The Tennessee Stallion will give you 100 laughs. If you have been involved in the TWH business it is a must see.

Smitty would it be the Film with Tennessee Ernie Ford as the narrator? I believe that would had much footage from the Celebration.

Stats Man,

This film is older than the Ernie Ford/Celebration film. I think that one was done in the late 60's (?)
Ole Sadlbum or Deltaboy would probably know the answer to this one.

Answer: "Free And Easy"

This color documentary film appears to have been shot around 1949 and was available in the 16 and 35mm formats. Not sure of the running time. I'd be interested in knowing if anyone out there has ever heard of or even seen this film. I would also be interested in knowing if this film is on archive at TWHBEA or any of the libraries in Tennessee and if the TWH Museum has this film or has access to it.

WHAT PERSON ASSOCIATED WITH THE CELEBRATION FOR MANY YEARS WAS
A COUNTRY MUSIC HALL OF FAME INDUCTEE?

Bob Jennings???????

Coco you are correct!
Bob Jennings was a producer for Acuff Rose
Music and also a country music DJ.
He was inducted into the Country music DJ
Hall of Fame.

Is this him? Inducted into the CMDJ Hall of Fame in 1980. DJ for WSM & WLAC, Nashville.

That is Bob.....very interesting fella!

What World Grand Champion was responsible for a marriage?

Mountain MAN?

Possibly, (in a more indirect sort of way).............but not the answer I'm looking for.
This one involved the SALE of a horse................

need another hint

Hint: 1980's....................that should narrow it down to exactly 10 WGC hosses..........

Answer:

" In spite of a rigorous training schedule and showing in all those championships, Pride's Final Edition still found time to play cupid, serving as the enticement that brought Libby Christmas to Scott Benham's stable in 1982. Libby came to see Final Edition and established a friendship with Benham that would eventually lead to marriage. Final Edition is credited by the pair as having brought them together."

How many TWH owners can you name from the state of OKLAHOMA ????

How bout a Amateur World Champion rider from Oklahoma that was also a Supreme Court Chief Justice?

Anyone remember a Ladies Amateur rider from Oklahoma City who rode a famous gelding also ridden by one of our members here?

This global insurance entrepreneur from Oklahoma City showed Tennessee Walkers from the early 1950's through the 1970's.

Kay McFarland was a Supreme Court Chief Justice, but she was from Kansas.

I stand corrected. Kay McFarland is indeed from Topeka, Kansas.

There was a girl from Tulsa who showed out of Bobo's in the late 60's.
I can't recall her name. Maybe her father was Charlie Corley?

Emmett Darby may have been from Oklahoma.
