At the age of four months he was sold to Winston Wiser, and Wiser then allowed E. H. Padgett to buy a half interest in the colt. At three years old in 1955, Go Boy's Shadow won his first World Grand Championship at the Tennessee Walking Horse National Celebration. He repeated his win a year later, in 1956.
