| THINKING ABOUT THE PAST -
In a line-up with Go Boy, the people
who have worked with him in the past are
proud of this stallion. Left to right: J. C. Cole, Ray Beech,
Steve Beech, S.W. Beech, J. French Brantley
(adjusting his hat), and Charlie
Brantley.
YESTERYEAR - This advertisement appeared
in 1950 on the back cover of a national breed publication. He was
then a seven-year-old. |

| DAILY
ACTIVITY - J. C. Cole (right) and his son Ronnie remove the blanket
on Merry Go Boy prior to the picture-taking session. J. C.
Cole took care of this fine stallion after he was moved to the
Beech Stables in 1954. |
| STILL SPRY AND
LOOKING - As Mrs. Kathryn Wiser holds the lead line, Merry Go Boy is
still attentive to activity around him. He was still a fine
representative of the breed, and Mrs. Wiser was proud of the example
that was set by the late Winston Wiser and this horse. |

STILL A FINE LOOKING
SPECIMEN - Mr. J. French Brantley (left) discusses the condition of
a twenty-five year old Merry Go Boy with S. W. Beech. Mr.
Brantley stood this fine stallion on his return to Middle Tennessee
in 1949. |

HIS FINAL CELEBRATION VICTORY -
A great horse looks down the line of his progeny, not knowing that it is
his last trip to the show ring. He won the Get of Sire Class in 1967.
