FEBRUARY, 1964
WINTER HAVEN SHOW (Contd.)
just a few miles from Winter Ha
ven. Paul said they made over
sixty shows last year and plan to
make the rounds again this sea
son. They made a good start by
winning the two year old class and
the Walking Stallions and Geld
ings class at this first show.
Mr. and Mrs. V. G. Gochneaur
from Aurora, Ohio, have two
horses to really brag about SUN’S
GO BOY AGAIN and SHADOW’S
BLAZE, a stallion and mare that
are both champions of the big
ring in Shelbyville. Mr. Gochneaur
tied blue in the Amateur Mare
Class in Winter Haven, and this
writer predicts many more of the
same this coming season.
An afternoon spent in Orlando,
Florida, at the farm of Mr. Floyd
Purcell was most enjoyable. Mr.
Purcell has some well-bred stock
on his farm and is continuing to
breed good mares to produce colts
that are born to walk. The well-
known JUNE SUN is standing at
his farm along with MIDNIGHT
NEW YEARS and a LAST
CHANCE stallion. He has quite a
few good-looking coming two year
old colts and several yearlings. His
stable is working show horses
daily, the most impressive being a
six year old bay stallion, GO
BOY’S REVENUE. Mr. Purcell
made a very thrilling ride on this
stallion at the show. This is a real
“show hoss,” the kind that enters
the ring shaking his head and
walks out high in the money every
time.
Dr. E. B. Sliger of Fort Ogle
thorpe, Georgia, a new-comer to
the Walking Horse business, was
also in Winter Haven with trainer
Billy Brantley of Battleground
Stables, and his new two-year-old
stallion, SETTING SUN’S
APOLLO. Mr. Brantley also im
pressed the spectators with SUN
DUSTER, a bold-going junior stal
lion owned by the B and F Cor
poration of Fort Oglethorpe, Geor
gia. We are always happy to greet
new horse owners to the Walking
Horse world and wish Dr. and
Mrs. Sliger every success and
many thrills in the months to
come.
Mr. Ed Street of Johnson City,
Tennessee and his MIDNIGHT
SUNSTREAK carried home two
blue ribbons from the Amateur
Walking Stallion and Gelding
Class and the Amateur Stake.
Also very much in evidence were
Mr. Boyd Hudgins and his charm
ing wife from Macon, Georgia.,
They carried home four blues from
Winter Haven, so they will be top
contenders this year. Little Mer
rill Talbot and MERRY BOY’S
SON won the blue in the Ladies
Walking Horse Class and the same
gelding won the stake with Boyd,
up. A very pleased little girl was
walking her horse after the stake
class on Sunday night with a
horseshoe of yellow flowers around
his neck.
