THE GREAT SUPREME SULTAN.

Pictured here in 1967 at the Illinois State Fair as a YEARLING - then owned by Barlite Farms in Texas.

Some interesting factoids about this great horse:
Supreme Sultan was an American Saddlebred foaled on March 12, 1966 at Alvin Ruxer's Ruxer Farms in Jasper, Indiana. He was sired by Valley View Supreme the only stallion to ever win the World's Grand Championship Three-Gaited class, out of Broodmare Hall of Fame-mare, Melody O'Lee. As a weanling, Supreme Sultan was sold to Barlite Farms in Texas. However, within two hours of the death of his sire, Valley View Supreme (of a sudden heart attack), on November 28, 1967, Mr. Ruxer bought Sultan back. He even put him in his sire's former stall. As a show horse, Supreme Sultan won the Two-Year Old Fine Harness Futurities at Illinois and Indiana as well as the Two-Year Old Fine Harness Stakes at the American Royal and the Chicago International. He was tied for third at the World's Championship Show (but this could be due to the fact that he was bred to a mare out in the warm up ring the night before he was shown!). His first foal, aptly named Freedom Hall, later became a show ring winner. Supreme Sultan is the only stallion to sire the winner of each of the three "big" stakes at the World's Championship Horse Show: Five-Gaited - Imperator, Three-Gaited - Sultan's Starina, and Fine Harness - Sultan's Santana. At age 11, Supreme Sultan became the youngest horse to lead the sire ratings, which he led for six years. His son, Sultan's Santana, was the first Saddlebred to sell at public auction for more than one million dollars. When Supreme Sultan had a serious bout of colic, he was taken to Dr. Scott Bennett's veterinary clinic in Simpsonville, Kentucky. After two surgeries, the decision was made to have him humanely euthanized on December 6, 1983. He was buried at the American Saddlebred Museum at the Kentucky Horse Park and a beautiful, life-size bronze statue by renowned artist Patricia Crane was later added above his grave on September 25, 1985.

Long before they had "UPHA Exceptional Challenge Cup Classes" -
Miss Gloria "Gigi" Glorioso rode under the direction of Mary Lynn Treis. Interesting thing about Gigi is that she was legally blind. When she would show, all other exhibitors were told that she would be in the ring and the others were all instructed to give her the rail. She used her riding crop on the rail side of her horse to guide her around the ring.

Here's Gigi being given a trophy by UPHA President Mr. Keith Bartz, at the Milwaukee Horse Show, and Ringmaster Mr. George Robertson looks on.

I don't think that this is what they had in mind when they say "side-saddle". But, to each their own.
