Pedigree in bold as accepted by the TWHBEA, remaining pedigree from Walkers West and Cyberhorse. |
If a list were to be made of the Greatest Tennessee Walking Horses of all time, Wilson's Allen would find that some of his own offspring were his only rivals for the top spot. To this date Wilson's Allen's blood continues to dominate the male line of the breed.
Among his get were many famous horses besides the immortal Midnight Sun. In fact, the first time that Midnight Sun was shown at the National Celebration, he was beaten by a horse called Wilson's Ace. Through the blood of Midnight Sun, Wilson's Allen remained the dominant force in producing Walking horse for many years to come. Considering that Wilson's Allen was dead before the first Celebration was held, his record of winners is almost unbelievable. Some of his most famous offspring were:
Merry Wilson - 5 time World Champion
Strolling Jim - WGC 1939
Haynes Peacock - WGC 1940 and 1941
Melody Maid - WGC 1942
City Girl - WGC 1944
Midnight Sun - WGC 1945 and 1946
Strolling Mary, The G-Man, Mountain Man, Wilson's Ace, Nellie Gray, Hill's Wilson, Frank Wilson, Wilson's Allen's Dream Girl, Wilson's Allen's Dictator, Top Wilson, Society Man, Star Parader, Greater Glory.
According to the TWH Registry, Wilson's Allen sired a total of 480 TWH foals. Of these there were dozens that won consistently in shows throughout the country, and many were only beaten by other Wilson's Allen offspring. Equally impressive was the number of his offspring that became significant sires of the breed.
He brought stamina and dignity to the breed, and his colts exhibited a looseness that was not noticeable in the get of other sires. Since the first World Grand Championship in 1939, only 8 World Grand Champions do not trace directly to this incomparable sire. He sired 5 World Grand Champions - a record only equaled by his son Midnight Sun and great-grandson Ebony Masterpiece.
