Let's Talk Walking Horse Trivia

Fort Worth?

I think The Fort Worth Fat Stock Show is correct, but I'll have to research it some more to make sure. I do know they had walking horse classes as early as 1949 (and probably even earlier). It is a much older show than Pin Oak, for sure. The Fort Worth Show (now called the Southwestern Exposition & Livestock Show) has quite a history and included much more than just the horse show. It is the oldest running livestock show & rodeo in the United States. Here's a link showing a timeline of it's history:

Also, there's an interesting-looking book about the Fort Worth Fat Stock Show:

Can you name every Tennessee Walking Horse ELVIS ever owned????

NO.

Answer: a TWH called "Memphis" and "Ebony's Double" are the only two I know of, but I would guess he owned more (?), considering the herd at Graceland once numbered over 50 horses. (Priscilla bought the weanling WC after Elvis died)

Was Ebony's Double the one he called Bear? I was in Tractor Supply the other day and saw a Breyer hoss with Elvis and Bear.

I don't think so, but Bear reportedly was a walking horse and one of Elvis's favorites. This must be the model you saw:

Elvis bought A horse for his father named Colonel Midnight.

Trivia of the Day

What rider retired the Dixie Jubilee Amateur Championship trophy
at Baton Rouge in 1970? What horse was this person riding?

I wanna say Moonglow Jr. & Burt.........but I gotta feelin that ain't right.......could it be RAZOR???

one of your 3 guesses is correct

Was it Moonglow & Burt?

It was Burt Daugette. But Moonglow was
Retired at the 1970 Celebration two months
Before the Dixie Jubilee.

Chaparal?

To the best of my knowledge Burt never won on Sun's Chaparral.

The Answer is Burt Daugette on Rock-A-Bye Lady.

Burt and Moonglow Jr. had won the Amateur Championship at
Baton Rouge in '68 and '69. Moonglow Jr. was retired at the '70
Celebration. The challenge trophy was for the same rider not the
same horse. So Burt showed Rock-A-Bye to retire the trophy.
Anne did not attend the show . She was a senior at Auburn and
had exams that week.

What was (and still is) the formal name for the Dallas, Texas horse show?

Pin OaK

No B D Pin Oak is Houston. Is Dallas Fat Stock?
