Archie R. Adams
Internationally known horseman Archie R. Adams Jr., 77, rural Augusta, died March 28, 1996 at the Via Christi St. Joseph Medical Center in Wichita.
His funeral service was held March 28 at the Downing & Lahey Mortuary in Wichita and
burial was in the White Chapel cemetery.
He and his wife, Jeanette, owned the Belvedere Farms horse operation on U.S. 54, west of Augusta.
Adams was one of the best known and respected horsemen, breeders and horse show judges in the nation.
He was born Sept. 25, 1918 in Wichita and graduated from Wichita East High School
before attending the University of Wichita and Kansas State University.
He was a successful independent businessman and investor in the Wichita area.
A 70-year love affair with horses was the highlight of his life.
When Adams was five years old, his father purchased a Shetland pony that had run away from the circus.
He eventually graduated to a Pinto which he taught tricks and exhibited around the state.
Adams’ first love, though, was the Palomino horse.
He raised his first in 1939 and in 1941, purchased his first Golden American Saddlebred.
In 1945, his famous Bourbon Peavine of Belvedere was crowned the Golden World Champion Stallion
and in 1946 won the title of Golden World Champion Five-Gaited Horse. Adams bred and exhibited his horses,
and judged many horse shows throughout the United States. In 1981, he created the renowned
“Fairy Tale Horses”, the world’s only'team of four-in-hand registered Golden American Saddlebreds.
This team was exhibited across the country, typically hitched to a Park Drag Coach (circa 1890),
one of the many in Adams’ collection of fine antique carriages.
One of the founders of the Palomino Horse Breeders of America, Adams is later served as its youngest resident.
He also was the founding president of the Palomino Horse Exhibitors of Kansas,
and the co-founder and founding president of the Golden American Saddlebred Horse Association.
In addition to his wife, Adams leaves a daughter, Vickie Lynn Lovett of Nashville, Tenn.,
and stepson, James W. Tharp of Honolulu, Hawaii
