Mrs. Jeannine Gullett on Son of Panola

You are CORRECT suh!

Bob Cherry and The High Chaperal? Wrong spelling of horse.

The High Chaparral & Bob Cherry is RIGHT!

Always loved that photo, Never seen a horse with a back end like that. Wonder what happened to him? Didn't Neil Robinson have him for a while.

Dutch, I think Neil had him, too.

That particular photo is of The High Chaparral as a two-year-old.

He could stick that backend now.

Neil was his last trainer I think, and Mack Crowe from Ark. his last owner. Albert Lee Rowland had him for a brief spell and he sold to some folks here in S C and Bill Moore got him and showed him around here a few times and then he was sent back to Bob Cherry. He came real close to winning the aged stud class one year. He could walk about as deep any any hoss ever.

I've only got a minute, but I'm gonna take a S.W.A.G. at this one. I'll go with a young Winky Groover.
Both hoss and rider have got a great set of listeners!

The name TUFF STUFF comes into my head, I know i have seen this before.

Not Winky. You got part of the name right Jean....

Would it be Wink Groover? Don't know the horse though...I was thinking along the same lines as Jean???

No, not Wink either. This kid had some great pipes......

Jimmy Ellis & HOT STUFF?

Close enuff! It's Jimmy Ellis & Strut My Stuff

I knew it was some kind of "STUFF

Jim Messenger on the right.

Jim Messenger is correct. The other guy is Bill Staley & the horse is Dr. Sundust.

Hill and Hill's Perfection, Bubbadog and Silver Shadow's Replica and Burt Daugette and Moonglow Jr.

I think that this was taken at the very first trainer's show, but I could be wrong - maybe Kim will remember the year. The trainers held a clinic and the 3 of us were picked to demonstrate the gaits. Kim, flat walk, Burt running walk and you might know - I had the canter. It was held at the Ellington Agricultural Center in Nashville and the are that we rode in was actually SQUARE. That instantly gave me "canter block". I practiced in that little enclosure and Huck yelled till his tonsils blew up and finally he just told me "NEVERMIND" - that I was hopeless. But true to form when it was time for the demonstration that little old silver horse knew that he was ON and went in that little square enclosure and cantered like he was used to cantering in a square everyday.
