Everett Haynes

(1895 -1956)


Everett Campbell Haynes was born in Kentucky on March 27, 1895. He rode in Britain for just one season, in 1923, achieving his biggest win on Epinard in that year’s Stewards Cup.


Having ridden in Germany for 4 years, he was engaged to ride for the Wertheimer stable (from which Epinard came) and consequently lived at Chantilly in 1929.


Back riding in Germany, Everett became the champion jockey there in 1932 ahead of crack apprentice Johann Starofta.


He died, age 61, in Los Angeles on April 28, 1956.

His parents were William Robert Haynes and Ellen Peyton Chick.

On 27 September 1919, he married Edna May Heise. They had a son, William, who became a decorated Vietnam fighter pilot. He died, aged 86, in 2010. He was buried alongside his father, Everett, in Arlington National Cemetery.
