could hold his own in any competition. BIG SHOT was
one of the few horses to win the coveted Mid-South
Championship Award twice.
Jimmy judged the Celebration twice, in 1959 and in
1960. During these same two years he was working SUM­
MER’S PRIDE for Mr. Pete Fisher of Jonestown, Mis­
sissippi. He also had LITTLE RED ROOSTER for
Danny Stubbs. This Walking pony made a number of
terrific shows in his day. HAPPY DAYS AGAIN and
STELLA DALLAS were Jimmy’s two stake horses then,
both owned by Mr. Charlie Maddox.
MAGIC KNIGHT, formerly owned by Miss Mar­
jorie Gill, was trained by Jimmy. Marjorie won ladies1
classes all over the south with MAGIC KNIGHT and won
two reserve championships at the Celebration with him
in 1965. Marjorie and her gelding were practically un­
defeated during 1965 and 1966. Marjorie has a three-
year-old full brother to MAGIC KNIGHT with Jimmy
now. This beautiful black stallion, called MAGIC’S
SPANISH KNIGHT, promises to be better than his older
brother. In his first show SPANISH KNIGHT won the
three-year-old class in Columbus with Jimmy in the
saddle.
MR. PETE’S SHADOW, owned by Mr. Pete Fisher,
is a horse not to be forgotten, for he was World’s Cham­
pion Two-Year-Old Gelding in 1965 and World’s Cham­
pion Three-Year-Old Gelding in 1966.
JOE MACADAMS is another professional-amateur
combination horse. Jimmy worked and successfully showed
this top stallion for Dr. Thurston Whitaker of Vicksburg,
Mississippi, for nearly three years.
Currently Jimmy has a barn full of top horses. NOR­
MAN’S GO YONDER, the three-year-old stud belong­
ing to Mr. Porter Norman of Covington, Tennessee, is
the colt who has built such a reputation for himself. Sam
Stockett of Jackson has his fine amateur mare, CLOWN’S
EASTER BONNET, with Jimmy, and they have made
some outstanding shows this summer. Jimmy is very proud
of a two-year-old filly called POLLY’S SUNBEAM, who
belongs to Mr. Pete Fisher. Mr. Charlie owns a mighty
fine two-year-old, too, SUN’S DIXIE DELIGHT.
CHARLIE’S ROYAL FLUSH is a big sorrel gelding that
is shown by Jimmy in open classes. Mr. Maddox bought
a sorrel stallion at Jimmy’s sale this past spring. MERRY
GOLD MAN is the horse’s name and Jimmy has done
