The famous horse Wing Commander was the first Saddlebred to have won world’s grand championship titles in all of the five gaited divisions in 1953. After that horse, another mare which was known as My-My won the championships for three years in a row from 1963 till 1968, however, the horse could not win her 7^th title as she died.
