He has gone on to forever
green pastures on legs that won't fail him
Williams King was our
gentle giant. Standing at 16+ hands, King was everything anyone could hope
for in a stallion. He was beautiful, respectful and willing, with the
correct walking horse conformation, and he exhibited a textbook 4-beat
gait with the head shake that started from the shoulders all the way up!

To me,
King just looked & moved like the old time walking horses that used to
do it all. He's was bred to be a using horse and indeed we did use him
for pleasure, trail riding, showing & breeding until retiring from
breeding in early 2002 when he was 19 years old.

Thankfully, he doesn't have
any recent WGC's on his papers. As a 2 & 3 year old in TN, King was shown
at several shows from The Strolling Jim Hey Day in Wartrace (he was the 3
year old, Lite-Shod Champion at that show & placed second in the over-all
stake) to the Celebration and always placed. Then, soring the flat-shod
horse became popular & competing sound was useless. King's owner/breeder
refused to "fix" this naturally talented horse & pulled him from further
showing. Competing sound against a sored horse is just plain going up
against a cheater.
King was a dream-come-true
stallion. He taught me what a natural walking horse is suppose to be like
& because of that, he will live within our hearts forever.
