The young horses of the show horse world turned out in force as 34 entries came through the big gate to vie for the World Championship . When the judges had made their decision , only 16 horses were left in the ring and the winning number was DELIGHT ’ S RED SHADOW , a great two-year-old superbly ridden by veteran showman Charlie Bobo , who received the Trainer of the Year Award later in the evening . The reserve horse , who missed being champion by just a fraction , was DELIGHT ’ S ADONIS . John T . Carter up . John T . and his colt never let up . Third were MASTER COPY and soft-spoken Russell Pate , whose usual fine ride couldn ’ t quite edge out the top two horses .

What these horses lacked in size , they made up up for in determination and ability as 22 ponies competed for the title . The judges selected 14 ponies for the final judging with SCAT MAN ’ S KITTY KAT and Steve Hawkersmith being adjudged the winners . Steve is an accomplished rider and he used his ability wisely in winning this class . The reserve champion was MISTER SANDMAN , with Terry Vinson riding .

They received one first-place vote , but had to settle for third .
