GO BOY'S BLACK JACK AND DONALD
PASCHALL ARE READY TO MEET ALL THE CHALLENGERS FOR THE CHAMPIONSHIP
OF THE WORD A great horse - perfect in the symmetry of his confromation, true in each of the Walking Horse gaits, and royal in his bloodlines - and a great rider - experienced in the fine art of bringing out the best in a colt and gradually moulding him into a flawless perfection of gaits, competitive in showing against all challengers until the superiority of his horse is clearly demonstrated to judges and spectators alike, and gracious and gentlemanly in winning or losing - this is the combination the best Walking Horses and the best trainers of the nation will encounter when they meet GO BOY'S BLACK JACK and Donald Paschal in the big ring at the National Celebration. GO BOY'S BLACK JACK, a four year old stallion owned by Captain and Mrs. Earl A. Self, of Mobile, Alabama, was born a champion. By MERRY GO BOY out of a mare by MIDNIGHT SUN, he carries the best in bloodlines of the modern Tennessee Walking Horse. Raised by Hall McNabb of Murphfreesboro, Tennessee, BLACK JACK was bought by Captain Self during the weanling stallion class at the 1960 Celebration. He won both the class and the yearling championship in 1961. He was reserve champion in both the class and the two-year-old championship stake in 1962. He won the class for junior stallions and the Junior Championship of the World in 1963. Thus, BLACK JACK, is many times over a champion in every kind of competition. BLACK JACK has defeated every horse he has ever shown against. At the 1962 Celebration he was second to one horse in both the class and the Championship stake; but in 1963 the positions were reversed and that horse was reserve to BLACK JACK in both the class and the stake. A renewal of this intense but friendly rivalry between GO BOY'S BLACK JACK and PERFECTION'S CARBON COPY is sure to be one of the thrilling events of this 1964 Celebration. In shows other than the National Celebration Donald Paschal and BLACK JACK have won blue ribbons and trophies too numerous to mention. In 1963 alone they won twenty-one straight blues in the best shows around the country. In 1964 they have won two blues in two shows and doubtless would have added many, many more to their collection had not a serious virus infection sidelined BLACK JACK just as the 1964 season was getting into full swing. We can report, however, from the first-hand observation that the popul young horse is looking as good as ever and Donald says he is doing as much as ever. By the wind the gates open into the big ring, BLACK JACK will be at his all-time peak and ready for whatever feats of skill and endurance he is called upon to perform. Of all the good shows he has made in his three seasons under saddle, which has been his greatest so far? Such a question always provokes differences of opinion; however, this writer feels that BLACK JACK'S performance in the Junior Stake at Montgomery last November is the greatest he has seen. There was a special bloom to his appearance and an extra surge of power in his gaits when he walked awa from all competition that night. Perhaps it was because he was well rested after an unusually stenuous summer - at any rate, he was really great then and was service special notice of what to expect of him in 1964! The veteran trainer behind this greatness is the popular and successful Donal Paschal, of Woodbury, Tennessee...
