Mystery Hoss

Here's a old photo I found for sale on eBay....
The name & rider is unknown. Does anyone have any idea Whodat?

(wow......am I crazy or does dis hoss kind of resembles Mirally Meadow's "Snowman"???)

While you're mulling that one over, here's today's regular Who Dat.....



???

Mollie Babcock Tallent on Call of the Wild

Call of The Wild was a Carbon Copy horse started by Bobo at GLL in '67 I think?

Call of the Wild & Molly B. Tallent is CORRECT!
I think Charlie Bobo showed him some in 15.2 competition, if I'm rememberin' right.


by the way, on the MYSTERY PHOTO above..............the seller of the white hoss photo on eBay is from Rock Hill, South Carolina. The horse could quite possibly be from that area as well (?) Mirally Meadows said that is not her Snowman hoss, although she did agree it looks like him in the head. She said he is probably not from Alabama, or she would know him.

Rock-A-Bye,Moonglow, and Razor have been racking our brains.Does anyone remember the horse Molly Babcock showed before Call of The Wild?

Molly B showed one named Perfection's Shadow.

Thanks MIB!We kept thinking Shadow something or GoBoys Something.

There's a story about this mare. The grooms at Jack Warren's let a stud get to her and didn't tell anyone.
No one knew she was in foal. One morning they found a colt in her stall. I think at a show. She had it with a tailset on.
I think Molly showed them in the mare and foal class at the celebration

Molly Babcock showed a pony called Go Boy's Jr. at the 1955 Celebration in the 14 & Under Pony class, tying 2cd. Judy Wiser, Jimmy Ellis and Bobbie Buriss were also in the class.
In 1956 she tied 7th in the Ladies class on a horse called Midnight Breeze S.

I am assuming this is the same Molly Babcock

That's an amazing story told by Razor!

Call of the Wild was Molly's "replacement" horse after Perfection's Shadow S was lost in Jack Warren's barn fire in 1968. Her knickname for him was "the Brat", and she loved him! I believe that Lynn Utter Northrop showed him for a time before she hooked up with Mr. Delight.

Another thing about Molly - her family used to own the Rattle 'N Snap farm in Columbia. What a beautiful place that was!

Hint: Barney Fife

Delight's Deputy?

That's it! Got any idea who the rider might be?

Wayne Bell

You are CO-RECT suh!!!

HA HA MIB didn't know that was Wayne Bell! But neither did I!

Sam Caldwell - don't know the horse.

Yep, that's Sam alright! Doubt if anyone will know the hoss.......it's RAMBLER'S BLACK BOY.

John T. Carter
I remember a bay mare he had .
This might be her. No Name come to mind.

Could be Delight's Adonis. John T had Adonis as a two year old. This horse is shod a little like a kneebanger.
