Good breeding always shows. Take a look at Ohio Rocks' pedigree. You can read about his sire, Bett Ohio, who was known for siring great horses for English Performance, Hunter Under Saddle, Western Riding, Western Pleasure and Jumping
. His great-great grandsire on his daddy's side was Swaps, who won the Kentucky Derby in 1955 and broke five world speed records. I understand that his relatives on his dam's side were halter and youth champions. Here's some information on Skip Light Lee's show record. The pedigree I've pasted below does not have clickable links, so if you want to view a pedigree where the links work, click here.
