Quoted from
Gene Autry's
Official Website |
"The second Champion was a
registered TWH named STONEWALL ALLEN TWHBEA # 360159. He was purchased as
a 3 yr old from Grainger Williams of Anitoch, TN. Stonewall Allen, a
chestnut with four stockings and a blaze, was trained by John Agee.
Stonewall Allen became the famous "Champion" that performed over 20 tricks
at liberty while on tour with Gene Autry. Stonewall Allen was never in any
movies and was only seen in personal appearances and photographs. Gene
Autry did not want to chance his being injured filming movies. His beauty
and gentle, dependable disposition made him a real crowd pleaser,
performing live on stage before an audience. There were several other
Champions featured in the movies but most of them had no TWH, most carried
Morgan, QH, and even some Arab blood. Gene Autry also owned these other
walking horses: STONEWALLS STORM 390455, LADY BYRD DONALD 390495, JACK'S
CAPTAIN 410927, CHRISTIE ELAINE 443298, RED CLOUD V, sold by Calvin Miller
to a doctor down in Texas and the doctor sold him to Autry. Red Cloud was
also a chestnut with four stockings and a blaze, the trademark color
chosen by Autry for his 'Champions'." Shellie Pacovsky of
