A Legacy to Remember: Joe Parker and the Parker Brothers

by

No one could show a horse like Joe Parker. As a self-assured Black man with a commanding presence in the ring and the modest personality of a true professional showman, he demanded attention from the judge and audience every time he trotted into the ring with a talented horse, whether it be under saddle, driving, or in-hand.
