Bo - Down in the Delta

Bocephus was invited down to the Delta Fall Classic (a Tennessee Walking Horse Show), held in Tunica, Mississippi. Due to Bo's extraordinary winnings this year, and his Grand Champion Title, he was asked to give a exhibition on the Mountain Saddle Horse. During his ride they played "My Old Kentucky Home". We'd like to thank Mark and Chuck of AutoZone for hosting us at this great event.

A special thanks to James Pendleton, who was in charge of this first rate show.
