From the ApHCC Hall of Fame:
By the legendary Appaloosa range stallion Shining Timber, and out of a mare known as "Dixie", Silver Tip was earning his oats as a two year old in the lead team of Bob Lynn’s chuckwagon outfit, alongside his older full sister Silent Memories 27. Although thoroughbreds predominate in the chuckwagon world, this lead team of Appaloosas held their own in competition, and were noted for their tremendous start, with few contenders that could beat them to the track. The team appeared in the Calgary Stampede parade of 1953. Silver Tip was retired from chuckwagon racing after 2 years, and was then broken to saddle. He competed in open competition with Esther Lynn on the Canadian Girls Barrel Racing Association circuit. With the formation of the Appaloosa Horse Club of Canada in 1954, and the advent of Appaloosa shows, Silver Tip had a new arena for his talents, and achieved some impressive wins in halter and performance, including National Champion Gelding of 1958. 27th year, was featured in an illustrated article in The Canadian Appaloosa Journal of July 1976.
