The Walking Horse Report has recently learned of the passing of World Grand Champion Jose's Intimidator. The tall black stallion was 15 years of age.

Jose's Intimidator began his show ring career under the direction of Jamie Bradshaw with a win at the Hershel Talley Memorial Horse Show in Baileyton, Ala.

The duo captured their first World Championship in 2004 as the Three-Year-Old Stallion Div A. World Champion for Randall Ferguson. Jose's Intimidator only got stronger for his four-year-old season as he and Bradshaw enjoyed  an undefeated year that included the Four-Year-Old Stallion World Championship and Four-Year-Old World Grand Championship.

Bradshaw and Intimidator made their final trips around the big oval in 2008 as the Div. A Stallion World Champion and Reserve World Grand Champion. Jose's Intimidator's legacy will live on through his talented foals.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to the Ferguson, Bradshaw and Beam families during this difficult time.
