Go Boy’s Nite Storm, foaled July 4, 1968, was bred and raised by Ray Corum Stables. He was directly by Merry Go Boy, who 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.” "Those horses would come out of the barn walking without weight, chains or boots and so does their progeny." - Donna Corum Perkins of Ray Corum Stables
