I think Georgetown is correct. I also think maybe he trained in Mt. Sterling, Ky.

I fell in love with the Tennessee Walking Horse when I was a teenager in the early 60's. We went to a relative's wedding in South Carolina. We visited with a relative, Herbert Stackhouse, owner of Po Boy Farms. I believer we were in Marion, SC or possibly Florence, SC. First he let me try a mare names Sassy Sue. I must have looked good on her because I am the only female who was ever allowed to ride his stallion Night Air. That was one awesome horse. He asked me to show the horse, but I lived in Virginia. I still feel the same thrill when I ride my Walking Horses today. Does anyone remember him or have pictures? It would mean a great deal to me.

In what state would you have once found "Pal-O-Mine Farms" ?

Ga.

No.........not unless there was two of em....(?)

Think there were Two. Ga. & West Vir. Not sure but think there was also a Saddlebred farm with the same name.l

The one I am referencing is Pal-O-Mine Farm of Triadelphia, West Virginia owned by Miss E.J. Flaccus.
I believe there may have been several over the years.

How is the late Rockabilly Musician, Carl Perkins loosely associated with the history of the Tennessee Walking Horse?

His mother was a Brantley

You got it!

He was the son of Louisa Brantley. Perkins, like James R. Brantley of Tennessee Walking Horse fame, is a descendant of Joseph A. Brantley b ca 1788, who came to TN about 1825.

In 1949, the United States Navy flew a Tennessee Walking Horse to Brazil.


WHY?...

Answer: "Brazilian president, Eurico Gaspar Dutra, visited Vanderbilt and Nashville during an official trip to the United States. During his visit in May 1949, Dutra was named honorary chairman of the Vanderbilt Institute for Brazilian Studies. In addition, Vanderbilt alumni gave Dutra a Tennessee walking horse, according to Vanderbilt Magazine."

What multi-World Champion reportedly was STOLEN for three years, with the perpetrator attempting to burn a white star out of the horse's forehead with an iron, leaving a lasting scar?

Hint: This horse was a RESERVE World Grand Champion........

Reve's Little Boy

CORRECT !!!

Do you know any details on that one, Masq ???

I really don't recall hearing this...

I remember Reve being stolen, but didn't know about the star/burning incident. Turn me the guy is still in prison for that! How cruel.

I believe the guy did spend some time behind bars. I'm thinking that must have happened when Geri Rutheford owned him in Ohio or possibly even before that. (?) I was around him a lot, but don't remember a scar.
Judging from these photos though, it does appear he had one. He was one of the very best, in my opinion.

In what U.S. State would you find the "Little Celebration"?
