Page Eight Heppner Gazette Times, Heppner, Oregon Thursday, June 5, 1941 Fine Swaggart Horse Has 21st Birthday At Circus in East Oregon Sunburst, one of the fine creamoline horses from the Swag gart farm in Morrow county that have been shown at eastern cir cuses for several years by Capt Jorgen M. Christiansen, recently received daily press headlines on passing his 21st birthday. It was while, Oregon Sunburst was playing the Police Circus in St Louis, Mo., that the natal anniversary occurred, and a St. Louis newspaper clipping received this week by Mrs. B. F. Swaggart from Captain Christian sen, related: "Capt. Jorgen M. Christiansen's chocolate-coated stallion, Oregon Sunburst, which has won admira tion of circus fans at the Police Cir cus, in the arena this week in the swaying rhumba dance it took him two years to learn, was 21 yirs old today. "Ordinarily when a horse attains the age of 21, he's due for pension ing in some lush green pasture, but not so with Oregon Sunburst. He's still fit and is ranked as an out standing performing horse. "Oregon Sunburst was purchased at the age of S in 1927 by Capt. Christiansen, a one of ten palomino horses, trained in high-school work Under the tutelage of his trainer, he kept at it for seven years. In one-ring circuses, and in the largest circuses in the country, as one of the troupe. "In 1935, Christiansen was offered the job of head trainer of a large circus, accepted it and sold his en tire stock to that outfit, but in the spring of 1937 the show closed and Christiansen went to Oregon to pur chase another set of horses. "Returning to his Rochester, Ind., winter training quarters with ten dapper Oregon creamolines, he learned that several of his former horses had been sold to a nearby riding academy. Temperamental and accustomed to certain trainers, Ore ,gon Sunburst had proved unsuit able for academy use, and had been placed in a box stall and virtually forgotten. Capt. Christiansen repur chased him, and months later, Ore -gon Sunburst was back in his prime, "A palomino, he changes his coat coloring with the seasons. Police Circus audiences this spring see.him as a chocolate-colored horse, with a flowing light-tan mane and tail. This summer, ChristianseYi said, he will have a yellowish coat and during the winter months he will be a dappled whitish tan, to match his flowing mane. "Sunburst will receive a corsage for each meal today in honor of having attained 'manhood.' The cor sage will consist of extra-special carrots, bright and reddish in color, with plenty of green foliage." In a letter accompanying the clip ping and a birthday picture of the animal, Captain Christiansen said that they were going to Chicago June 12 to play at Soldiers field and would be back there again the 4th of July He also said that as soon as Mrs. Swaggart has ten or twelve more animals a set of which she is preparing for him, he will be out after them.
