Equine Death – WC Armed To Show
Wednesday, June 10, 2009


World Champion Armed To Show lost his fight with Colic today, June 10, 2009 at Rood and Riddle in Lexington, KY.

 

This great horse started his show career under the direction of Carl Edwards and Sons Stables.  He was shown early in his years by Larry Edwards and Dan McSwain until Maisie took over the reins for a successful juvenile career.  In 2007 Armed To Show was ridden to the 15.2 & Over Geldings Five Years & Over, Canter, World Championship by John Allan Callaway.

 

At the time of his death, Armed To Show was owned by Maisie and Mandi McSwain of Gainesville, GA and was trained under the direction of Allan Callaway Stables.
