Reference Stallions > BLUE VALENTINE (Deceased) > Blue Valentine

This photo was taken in 1964 at Hyde Merritt's big roping at the old Merritt ranch, 19 miles west of Cheyenne. The Hayes family owned half interest in Blue Valentine at that time, and Del still owned the other half. Del won the calf roping on Blue Valentine and he and Lonny Jones won the team tying. This photo appeared in the September 1964 Western Horseman Magazine.
