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.
