This year , from GLL , " Bobo ” will enter the ring on Riptide , a three-year-old stallion that has already won two blues this season ; Rising Sun , a two-year-old palomino stallion ; Wild Rose , a three-year-old mare ; Wild Turkey , a three-year-old stallion ; Merry Sobreta , a black mare ; and Hello Dolly , an aged mare that won the Searcy , Arkansas , mare class . " Bobo ” also has several amateur and juvenile mounts that will unload from the truck that carries the GLL flag .
Charlie and his very attractive wife , MARTHA GOOD- ALL BOBO , from Lebanon , Tennessee , were married in 1940 . They have three children : CHARLES , age 22 , is married , recently added a grandchild to the family , and attends David Lipscomb College in Nashville , Tennessee .; BILL , age 19 , is a freshman at Appalachia State College in Boone , North Carolina ; and MARTHA , age 14 , attends high school in Collierville .
From the list of horses above , we can see that Charles Bobo has had many successful years in the horse business . When asked what the most important factor was that started him on his way , he said that in 1954 , when he judged his first Celebration ( the year that White Star was crowned the World ’ s Grand Champion ), he took his best step in the right direction . From that time , " Bobo ” has been known as the ' Dean of Walking Horse Judges .’ When he goes into the ring as a judge , he has no friends and no enemies , for the simple reason that he is judging the horses and not the riders .
