Wilson
Snip's Chance is the dam of the great Sun's
Delight D.
On at
least one occasion MERRY LEGS was bred to GREY LAD, whose sire was
BRAMBLETT, by BUFORD, by BOONE’S GREY JOHN. From this cross
MERRY LEGS
foaled a filly colt named SNIP. SNIP was later bred to
LAST CHANCE, and the
resulting foal was SNIP’S CHANCE. After Albert Dement’s death, SNIP’S
CHANCE was purchased by W.S. “Audie” Dean of Rutherford County, Tennessee.
Dean bred the mare to MIDNIGHT SUN
on several occasions but was not pleased with the results, therefore he
decided to breed her to his own stallion, WILSON DEAN. From this cross
came the famous “four sisters,” whose offspring made Walking Horse
history. From these four mares came SUN’S HERO,
JOHNNY MIDNIGHT, MIDNIGHT
IKE, MACK K’S TRIGGER, DELIGHT’S CHANCE, DELIGHT’S SUNBEAM, DEAN’S BOSS
MAN, and the incomparable SUN’S
DELIGHT D. the World Grand Champion Walking Horse in 1963.
SUN’S DELIGHT and
BUMIN AROUND are the only World Grand Champions to trace
to MERRY LEGS through GREY JOHN blood. (p. 79.The Echo of HoofbeatsBy Bob Womack)
