Kentucky, Ohio & Indiana Memories

Reve's Little Boy & Bob McQuerry. I had forgotten he had ever showed him, but he won the 15.2 & Under class with him at the Trainers Show one year.

Looks like the show was at Louisville & Reve was setup like todays limited performance horses.

SB - I would be willing to bet that the photograph of Reve just wasn't the best -cause there sure wasn't anything much limited about that horse except maybe his size.

I was referring to the pads on his hooves, not very thick as performance horses wear today. Theres a limited class nowadays with pads like Reve was wearing. He was a big going little horse. Horses like Him need to be cloned.

Eddie Martin showing back in 1973. Not sure what horse that is.......might be Go Boy's Big Sun (?).

Midnight Marauder & Mose Oppenheimer

I think Mose's funeral, included a horse drawn hearse.

Marvin had that Marauder horse at one time,pretty nice horse if I remember right.

"A horse doesn't have to like you,
but he has to respect you."

Mose Oppenheimer

Shadow's Big Mack & H.T. Derickson

Fustist time I ever seen a picket fence for a ring rail!

SB,

One time I showed at the Nelson County Fair and they had roped off the parking lot with a rope.

That picket fence is the same stuff you see at construction sites. Several small towns that did not have a ring used to have horse shows on the football or baseball field and use those for fencing. I have seen "rings" that were square and had no turns........you made your own. I have also seen show rings on baseball diamonds where half the ring was dirt and half was grass! I went to a horse show in Eastern Ky once that was built into the side of a hill. The only place to warm up was up and down a cow path!

I hate watching a Football game, that part of the field is a Diamond. I've heard that some of the primitive shows were back & forth on a street.

Merry Go Hal & Billy Ray Parrish

Threat's Souvenir & Marty Sizemore. A top juvenile team in the 70's trained by Donnie May of Richmond, Ky.

I remember those matching head bands and girths and breast straps. Best they stay in the 70s along with the leisure suits and disco.

The Super Sport & Emmy Downs of Louisville, Ky

Paul Henderson of Morehead, Ky. Not sure about the horse; might be Delight's Stonewall (?)
