Pride's Jubilee Encore is a Tennessee Walking Horse who won the World Grand Championship in the 2001 Tennessee Walking Horse National Celebration.

Tennessee Walking Horse American horse breed noted for its running walk gait

The Tennessee Walking Horse or Tennessee Walker is a breed of gaited horse known for its unique four-beat running-walk and flashy movement. It was originally developed in the southern United States for use on farms and plantations. It is a popular riding horse due to its calm disposition, smooth gaits and sure-footedness. The Tennessee Walking Horse is often seen in the show ring, but is also popular as a pleasure and trail riding horse using both English and Western equipment. Tennessee Walkers are also seen in movies, television shows and other performances.

Tennessee Walking Horse National Celebration Annual event in Shelbyville, Tennessee

The Tennessee Walking Horse National Celebration (TWHNC), sometimes known as the Celebration, is the largest horse show for the Tennessee Walking Horse breed, and has been held annually in or near Shelbyville, Tennessee since its inception in 1939. The Celebration was conceived by Henry Davis, a horse trainer who along with several other horsemen, felt the Shelbyville area should have a festival or annual event. Although the Celebration was originally held in Wartrace, Tennessee, it moved to Shelbyville, the seat of Bedford County, a few years later. The Celebration spans 11 days and nights in late August and early September annually, and finishes with the crowning of the World Grand Champion Tennessee Walker on the Saturday night before Labor Day. The TWHNC draws an estimated 2,000 horses and 250,000 spectators to Shelbyville each year.

Life and career

Pride's Jubilee Encore was foaled on April 29, 1991. He was sired by the World Grand Champion Pride's Jubilee Star and out of the mare Lady Fame. He is a black stallion with a blaze on his face and a sock on his left hind foot. [1] He was sold to Kay Dennis as a three-year-old, and she put him in training with Bill Bobo of Shelbyville, Tennessee. Ridden by Bobo, Pride's Jubilee Encore won the Tennessee State Championship as a three-year-old. In 1995 Bobo entered him in the Tennessee Walking Horse National Celebration and won the Four-Year-Old World Championship. Pride's Jubilee Encore was moved to Allan Callaway's stable around 1998. In spring 2001 Kay Dennis sold part of her interest in the horse to Jerold Pedigo and Charles Terry and the three, working in conjunction with Callaway, began working toward the goal of winning the World Grand Championship. [2] Pride's Jubilee Encore was one of 11 horses entered in the 2001 Celebration's final class, the World Grand Championship. Among the competitors was a mare named Shout, trained by Rodney Dick. When the horses were going into the final lineup to wait for the results to be announced, both Callaway and Dick tried to let the other go first and ended up going to the lineup at the same time. Pride's Jubilee Encore was the winner. [3]

Foal A horse of either sex up to the age of one year

A foal is an equine up to one year old; this term is used mainly for horses. More specific terms are colt for a male foal and filly for a female foal, and are used until the horse is three or four. When the foal is nursing from its dam (mother), it may also be called a "suckling". After it has been weaned from its dam, it may be called a "weanling". When a mare is pregnant, she is said to be "in foal". When the mare gives birth, she is "foaling", and the impending birth is usually stated as "to foal". A newborn horse is "foaled".

Stallion Term for a male horse that has not been castrated

A stallion is a male horse that has not been gelded (castrated). Stallions follow the conformation and phenotype of their breed, but within that standard, the presence of hormones such as testosterone may give stallions a thicker, "cresty" neck, as well as a somewhat more muscular physique as compared to female horses, known as mares, and castrated males, called geldings.

William Earl "Bill" Bobo is a Tennessee Walking Horse trainer. He won the World Grand Championship at the Tennessee Walking Horse National Celebration in 2003 with the stallion The Whole Nine Yards. Bobo also showed the notable horse Rowdy Rev, who competed in the World Grand Championship several times but never won. Bobo has been named Trainer of the Year by the Walking Horse Trainers Association.
