Equine Obituary - The Whole
Nine Yards
Thursday,
January 19, 2017
From
The Walking Horse Report
The 2003 World Grand Champion and
Multi-World Champion The Whole Nine Yards, passed away on
January 19, 2017. The beautiful chestnut stallion was owned by
The Group of 9.
Sired by
Gen’s Armed And Dangerous and out of Cash’s Blossom, Nine was
foaled on March 29,1998 at the stable of Larry Wheelon. This
beautiful and charismatic chestnut flax mane and tail stud
colt was destined to put his mark on the industry. His mild
manner and playful ways made him an instant hit with anyone he
encountered.
Nine was
purchased as a yearling by Bob and Luanne Sigman and began his
successful show ring career under the direction of Brent
Colburn. Known for his easy-going personality and natural
walking talent, Nine continued his career under the direction
of Greg Lute, and it was his crowd pleasing performance at the
2001 Celebration as a three-year-old that made people sit up
and take notice. In January of 2002 the Sigmans and Lute made
the decision to continue Nine’s training under the direction
of multi–World Champion trainer Bill Bobo.
This new
team made their debut performance at the 2002 National
Trainers’ Show and walked away with the blue in the
four-year-old class, leaving a lasting impression on all that
were in attendance. This team remained undefeated for the rest
of their show career. They went on that season to capture
blues at the Fun Show, Pulaski and earned the title of
Four-Year-Old Stallion World Champion and Four-Year-Old World
Grand Champion.
In 2003
they began the campaign once again at the Trainers’ Show
walking their way to the championship winner’s circle amid a
standing ovation. This pair also captured the grand
championship title at the prestigious Columbia Spring Jubilee.
Having shown a total of seven times together, Bill made the
decision not to show Nine until the Celebration, wanting that
last Saturday night to be their 9th time in the ring as the
vied for the roses. The accumulation of the number 9’s in
their life proved to be significant. They wowed the crowd
winning the blue in the first division of the Aged Stallion
class and wearing the back number “9”, as they had done all
season, they came back on the last Saturday night, on their
9th trip in the ring together, to wear the roses and be
crowned the 2003 World Grand Champion.
Nine began his breeding career at
Womack Stables, under the direction of Ricky Womack. The
decision was made in 2009, to move Nine to the Bluegrass state
and head up the stallion line-up at Spencer Benedict Stables.
In 2012, SBS purchased Nine and formed the Group of 9. This
group consists of Spencer and Carrie Benedict, Mitzi Butler,
Lloyd Cassidy, Bobby Jones, Skip McFarland, Anne Piet, Lisa
Teel, and Dr. Brian and Amanda Wright.
As a sire
Nine has produced many champions. Currently having 315
registered foals, Nine’s prodigy includes, WGC Nine Gold, WGC
Nine Yard Blitz, WGC Nine Karat Diamond, WC Top Recruit, WC
I’m Soul Sister, WC Tiger Blood, WC Forty Niner, WC 9 Yards Of
Major Trouble, WC The Ninth Wonder and many other reserve
world champions and blue ribbon winners.
Nine will
be missed by all those that loved and cared for him. He will
be remembered as having a big heart, a bigger personality and
one of the most beautiful Tennessee Walking Horses. Rest high
on that mountain my friend.
