He and his brother Kevin were raised in the Memphis area and attended Southaven High School and Memphis State University.

He enjoyed all things physical: football, scuba diving, pole vaulting, snow skiing, obstacle races, water skiing, cycling, weight training, golfing, surfing, kickball, and more. Rusty enjoyed fishing but not catching with his brother, Kevin. John Allan Callaway proudly wears the traditional World Grand Champion green blazer after it was presented to him by Rodney Dick at the recent WHTA Annual Membership Meeting. He was also selected by his peers as the 2020 Performance Horse Trainer of the Year. The Scoop congratulates John Allan for his successful show year.

Recapping
2020
As we look back on 2020, it will be a year that we will always remember. There was confusion with a world-wide pandemic, there was sadness because we lost loved ones and there were smiles because life continued with great friends and family…… and horses. The Walking Horse industry never fails to join together and overcome. 2020 was the year to prove there is strength in numbers, there is joy in friendships, there is love in families and there is hope in the Tennessee Walking Horse industry.
