To Remember
Electric
Charge
Inducted February 18, 2005
Born
in 1970, this attractive, feisty 15.1 hand, dark chestnut mare won the
Hartman Trophy in 1981. She played and won the Cartier Handicap and played
in the Camacho Cup in 1981, owned at that time by Seth Herndon who purchased
her from Gary Wooten in 1978. She played in numerous other high goal tournaments
with Seth for five years. A registered Thoroughbred by Prince Eric out
of Miss Chargette by Some Charge, she was bred in Oklahoma by John Durham,
and trained by Henry Burnell of Tulsa who sold her to Ralph Lafferty who
then sold her to Wooten. Everyone seems to agree that she had seemingly
endless stamina. Gary Wooten, who owned Electric Charge for a year and
a half, recalls her being the best pony he ever owned. Seth Herndon says
fondly " She was truly a high goal mare. She handled wonderfully
at speed and had speed to burn. She did not like slow or choppy polo and
let you know it."
