It was a mare named Bold Starlette who turned Novice Amateur Jerry
Allen’s head back in 1982. The Tennessee native was at the World Show
Sale, saw the pretty bay in the workout arena, and knew she was the one.
It wasn’t until Jerry got her home to Tennessee that he learned “Lucy”
didn’t really lope. She preferred to buck. For most riders looking for a
show horse, that would have been the end.
