Show
ring great, Rainbow Of Colors,
passed away on Thursday, August
13, 2009 as a result of a tumor.
Rainbow could always be recognized
by his diligent head-shake when he
hit the show ring, he was a true
walking horse.
Rainbow began his extensive show
career under the direction of
trainer Tim Smith, whom trained
and loved the champion until his
death. During his seven years in
the show ring, Rainbow claimed
countless blue ribbons throughout
Tennessee, Alabama, and
Mississippi.
Rainbow
was credited with ten top-ten
Celebration honors including the
2003 World Championship in the
Amateur 70 and Over class with
Jamie “Red” Etheredge aboard
and the 2008 Reserve World
Championship in the 15.2 and Over,
Five Years and Over Geldings class
with Tim Smith.
As a credit to his talent, Rainbow
was owned by only two different
owners. Jamie “Red” Etheredge
raised, owned, and showed the
champion in his earlier years and
then G.L. and Beverly McNeill
purchased and enjoyed the champion
until his death.
