Equine Obituary - Leatherwood's Starlight




Redd Crabtree rode Leatherwood’s Starlight to two Reserve World’s Champion Five-Gaited Stallion titles.

 

Fred Sarver reported the recent death of twice Reserve World’s Champion Five-Gaited Stallion Leatherwood’s Starlight. Bred and owned throughout his career by Leatherwood Farm and managed by Sarver, the bay stallion was sired by the three-time Reserve World’s Champion Five-Gaited Stallion CH Starlike Sultan. The late Redd Crabtree showed both stallions.

Leatherwood’s Starlight was out of Superb Fantasy by Super Supreme. His second dam was Radiant Fantasy by Ridgefield’s Denmark. Winner of the Stallion Stake at the American Royal, Leatherwood’s Starlight was the sire of several top show horses, the most famous being World’s Champion Carson Nation.
