Let's Talk Walking Horse Trivia

Amateur.

Big Hint: The rider was female.

I'll guess Rockabye Lady or Moonglow Jr.

Good Guess! In 1968 when the gate opened for the Amateur Stallion Class 86 entries entered the ring for what became one of the Celebration's largest ever classes. This may have been the class that led to split classes. Three workouts and around an hour later MOONGLOW JR. and BURT DAUGETTE entry number 1081 were declared the winner. But a strange thing had happpened. Some time during the class,the caveson on Moonglow Jr.'s bridle had broken. It must have been near the end of the class. Because, for some reason it was not replaced. So, Jr. and Burt received the Trophy and made their victory pass without a caveson.

I know I've heard that story before but couldn't remember all the details.That is what you call taken care of business,Jr. was such a GREAT horse,I loved being around him.

Winning a class at the Celebration without a caveson has to be a Celebration FIRST, I would think.
