"Hi Stephanie, Stormy's Ebony Doll was one of our top broodmares. I believe she was shown some in some pleasure classes. I rode her quite a bit and she was a wonderful, sweet mare. My mom supported my dad and myself with the horses, but wasn't into them like we were. Doll was one of the few horses that my mom claimed." - Donna Corum Perkins of Ray Corum Stables

Stormy’s Ebony Doll was sired by Go Boy’s Nite Storm, a direct son of Merry Go Boy.  Go Boy’s Nite Storm, foaled July 4, 1968, was bred and raised by Ray Corum Stables. His sire, Merry Go Boy, was considered to the model of perfect walking horse conformation. In his book, Echo of Hoofbeats, Dr. Bob Womack described Merry Go Boy: “The small horse stepped and moved like a fairy in a moon-lit glen, barely seeming to touch the ground, light, smooth, fast, and graceful without apparent effort. His hock motion was like a hydraulic action, smooth and velvety in operation. His way of going seemed to give one an illusion that he could still be walking right down through the years. Those who had the opportunity to see Merry Go Boy perform will not soon forget him." Merry Go Boy was the World Grand Champion in 1947 and 1948 and much discussion has been had regarding which was the better horse, Merry Go Boy or Midnight Sun. Go Boy’s Nite Storm was out of a mare named Midnight Peggy P, whom Mr. Corum often said, “paid for the farm.”

The dam of Stormy’s Ebony Doll was Ebony’s Co-ed (pictured at left with her colt, Red Haired Stranger.) She was a prolific producer, giving birth to her last foal at the age of 22 and producing 12 foals in total. She also produced the popular breeding stallion, Red Haired Stranger, a plantation show winner who was also extensively trained in reining. Ebony’s Co-ed was by the great Ebony Masterpiece, 1962 World Grand Champion. Before his death at the age of 31 in 1987, Ebony Masterpiece become one of the breed’s most prolific sires, producing 5 World Grand Champions. Ebony’s Co-ed was out of a direct daughter of Society Man, a rare and highly sought-after bloodline. Though he wasn’t a World Grand Champion, Society Man was considered by some to have been one of the best walking stallions of all times.
