10/1/16 Callaway's Johnny Gillen, The Wing Commander Legacy Part 3

Callaway's Johnny Gillen was another colt sired by Wing Commander from his 1959 crop.  He was out of Betty Weldon's former show mare, Fourth Estate by Kalarama Rex.  Johnny Gillen was a pretty good show stallion, and when it was time to start breeding him, Mrs. Weldon matched him with another of her great show mares, WGC Kate Shriver.  Although Johnny Gillen had a few other sons that sired offspring, for all intents and purposes, Will Shriver was the sole link that kept the chain of horses moving on to the next generation.  Betty Weldon's hopes and dreams were pinned on the back of Will Shriver, and he didn't disappoint.  CH Will Shriver, like his grandsire Wing Commander, was a World's 5 Gaited Grand Champion, and when retired to stud, he proved to be a great sire for the Callaway Hills' banner.  The sons, grandsons and great grandson's of CH Will Shriver are listed below. Stallions still carrying on the Johnny Gillen line are highlighted in yellow.  In the listing of Will Shriver's sons, the next two generations are noted with a Ø and o. Pictures are grouped alphabetically by generations. Once again, I tried to list the main sires, but if I missed anyone, please let me know.

9/25/16 Wing's Fleet Admiral, the Wing Commander Legacy part 2

Wing's Fleet Admiral was from one of Wing Commander's earlier foal crops.  Foaled in 1959, his dam was 22 when he was born, and he himself lived only 10 short years.  His show career, unlike that of his sire, was cut very short due to problems with laminitis.  His case was so severe, it eventually ended his life, but luckily he produced four complete foal crops from 1966 thru 1969, and had one final foal born in 1970 after his death.  Since the blog is reviewing those sire lines from CH Wing Commander which are still intact today, we're only looking at his male offspring.  This line is alive and well.  First we'll list the stallion sons of Wing's Fleet Admiral, and go from there.  I tried to list the main stallions, but please let me know if I missed anyone.  Anyone highlighted in yellow is still breeding as of 2016. 

Wing's Fleet Admiral

son of CH Wing Commander

    
Wing's Desirable  f. 1968 out of Royal Empress by Anacacho Empire.  He stood on the West Coast and his three CHampion offspring were all geldings.  He's represented today through his daughters.

CH Lynn Williams

I know this is about sire lines, but she's one of my favorites.

f. 2004 out of Carol Lynn BHF by The Talk of The Town

and look at her baby brother!

The 2016 & 2017 WGC 5 gaited Champion!

Top of the Mark

f. 2010 CH Top Spool X Carol Lynn BHF by CH The Talk of The Town

he hasn't sired any foals yet, but I'll bet my eye teeth that he will.

He has several sons carrying on his line today,  including Desert's Supreme Memories, Matchbox 20 and Dylann's Desert Admiral.

This beauty was a WC in Fine Harness

Peri Rich

f. 1999 out of CH A Rich Girl by Money Market LS

Red Hawk Red Hawk

f.  2000 out of I did I did by Sultan's Royalty

Thanks for reading this through to the end.  I know it's a little hard to follow at times.  The whole point is that there are a lot of ways to have Wing Commander on the top side of your pedigree, and all of these horses came through Wing Commander's son Wing's Fleet Admiral. 

Next time will continue with the Wing Commander Legacy to see how another of his son's has carried on his line.  Not sure who I'll choose yet.
