EQUINE OBITUARY

     
 

STAR OF THE FUTURE

Star Of The Future, owned by Wildwood Farms, The McLaughlin Family of Florence, S.C. passed away on Feb. 17.  “Star,” as he was affectionately known, at 20, was an icon in the Walking Horse Industry and extremely loved by those who knew him.

Star Of The Future was born May 3, 1988. Although advanced in years, Star was a fighter until the end.   Throughout his 16 years of showing, Star began and ended his career with blue ribbons, accumulating many wins in between.

In 1993, Star was the World Champion in the Aged Walking Stallions and Reserve in the 15.2 and Under Stake.  In 1995, Chad Baucom directed Star to a Reserve World Grand Championship. In his later career, Star was shown primarily in the Amateur 15.2 and Under divisions as well as Pony.

Sired by Pride’s Jubilee Star, and out of Senator and Grit’s Lady, Star had amazing bloodlines and was a proven producer. His legacy will continue through his offspring. 

The Scoop’s sincerest condolences go out to the McLaughlin family.
