The horse in ? middle pic is not Mr. Charcoal. This horse belonged to my dad Jerry Robinson. He was w/ Louis as a 3yr old @ the same time Magic Sue, Handshaker Mr. Charcoal etc. later shown in by dad successfully for many yrs.

Joe Cotton is another WGC rider that trained in Missouri!!! He worked for my Dad , Jerry Manes.

I'd like to know more about Louis Slone. Where did he get his start? What other good horses did he train? Did he ever show at the Celebration? What part of Missouri was he from?

This picture is of Midnight Magic Steve Belshe showed for years

Digging back in my memory banks, it seems that SMOKIN' CARBON may have won the stake at the Midwest Trainer's Show one year. Seems like maybe Bolinger might have had him, or maybe his son????

You are right , Greg Bolinger

Piddley's Black Ace & Sonny Scrivner


Dollar Maid & Floyd Posenke

Floyd has such a good seat! His father in law was Ted Bridges, awesome ASB trainer. Cheryl Posenke followed his footsteps and trainer ASB, And Morgans, Arabs. She also showed TWH. She passed way to early, 2 years ago. I still want to call her up and talk horses.
