Is it Midnight Sun? Shore is a great big horse!

Is it Midnight Sun??? Can't remember who rode him???

Fred Walker rode Midnight Sun to both his championships , but that is not Fred.
It looks like Urban Small.

It is definitely a small man on a large horse.

Urban Small Jr. is CORRECT!............but it's not Midnight Sun.
This Alabama-owned horse was a Amateur 50 & Over World Champion in the 50's.

Melody's Heir

The one on the left is the famous Larry Gribble from McMinnville.
The others, no clue. Is one of them Larry's brother Clinton?

Is the one on the right Dr. Johnson?

Larry Gribble & Dr. Johnson are both CORRECT!
The other guy is Kenneth Lamb. No clue on the horse's names, but I believe these were sold by Gribble to Shadow Valley Farms, if I'm remembering right.

Everybody knows Who Dat. Tell us Who Dat and Where Dat.

Looks like Mr. Vic on the front porch of his barn.

I think I've posted that one before. That photo ran in LIFE magazine. I think we determined that was a cedar whittling stick with a horse advertisement on it in his hand. The whittling that used to go on at the Celebration was one of the many small things about the show that amazed me as a young lad. I understand there is absolutely none of that now.

Looks like Howard Roberts but I don't know the hoss.

Smitty, whittling isn't completely dead.
I saw Russell Pate whittling in his box
Seat at the Celebration this year.

Senator 69 you are right about Vic's front
Porch. we spent many happy hours on that porch!

Advertising stick was for Mrs Newton Turrentine on Second Time Around.
MIB has a really funny story about a bench on Vic's front porch but I'm not sure that he will tell it. It involved his Daddy.

Howard Roberts is RIGHT!

The horse was Shaker's Golden Image, who I believe was later trained by Steve Aymett. I think this photo was taken when Howard was training in Virgina for Hansa (sp.) Stables.

Hint: Military Hobo

Bum's War Hoss and Dorothy Keller??

I believe that is Heather Holmes' older sister.I knew them from up in Ohio .We all grew up together.

You may be right, Senator. My mind plays tricks on me these days. I was thinking it was Dorothy Heller or Keller. I think they showed out of Steve Aymett's barn. It looks like that picture was taken here at the Lawrenceburg show.
