Voice of the Tennessee Walking Horse
Four-State Group
Of Walker Lovers
Formed In Far West
A late newsletter from Mrs. Mau­
rice Bryant of Colfax, Wash., reports
that officers have been elected for a
sort of four-state association including
Tennessee Walking Horse folks from
Washington, Montana, Oregon and
Idaho. She does not mention an exact
name but the four states are repre­
sented among the officers. They are:
President, Walt Frenau, Spokane,
Wash.; secretary-treasurer, Mrs. Mau­
rice Bryant, Colfax, Wash.; regional
directors, G. E. Erickson, Klamuth
Falls, Oregon; Abe Haynes, Culdesac,
Idaho; Mrs. Pearl (Our Girl Pearl)
Tompkins, Elmo, Montana; and Mrs.
Dan Bafus, Colfax, Wash.
The energetic Mrs. Bryant (known
as Velma from previous correspond­
ence) , writes her story in real good
newspaper style, saying:
"Despite drifting snow and slick
roads, 31 people turned out Sunday
for the second meeting at Parvin
grange hall of a group of Tennessee
Walking Horse enthusiasts.
"A potluck dinner was enjoyed be­
fore the business meeting. Two films
were shown by Dan Bafus on the evo­
lution of the horse and horse’s gaits.
Slides were also shown by Virgil
Stroud, Kennewick, Wash.
"Exhibitors were enrolled for the
Appleatchee Horse Show in Wenat­
chee and the WSU (Washington State
University) show, both in May, and
the Lilac Horse Show at Spokane in
August, by Sandra Snitley, Wenatchee
and Mrs. Walt Frenau, Spokane.
"Final plans for E. S. Blankenship’s
training school at Pullman in June
will be made at the May 20 meeting
at Parvin. It will be for both riders
and horses. A public sale is being
planned to be held at the conclusion
of the riding school at the Palouse
Empire Fairgrounds.
"Mrs. Ethna Friesen of Arlee, Mon­
tana, came the longest distance es­
pecially for the meeting. Others came
from Lewiston and Couer d’Alene in
Idaho; and from Kennewick, Waits-
burg, Wachtucna, Kaholtus, Spokane
and Colfax in Washington.’’

Here are members of the Fayetteville (Term.) Central High School Horse
and Pony Club organized in January, 1962 with 25 members. Most of these boys
and girls own ponies or horses are their parents own the animals. They have
much fun caring for them, love to ride, find it excellent exercise and are studying
the Tennessee Walking Horse. They live in Lincoln County, the home of Mack
K’s Ilandsaker, the 1961 Tennessee Walking Horse Champion of the World
crowned at the National Celebration in Shelbyville. Officers of the club are Bob
Williams, president; Candy Richard, vice-president; Lynn Mulhollen, secretary-
treasurer; Johnny Crowley, reporter; Mrs. J. P. Gracy, sponsor; Mr. Urban S.
Small, advisor. Information regarding this club can be secured from Ms. J. P.
Gracy, Rt. 6, Fayetteville. The advisor, Urban Small, is the great trainer-rider who
rode Oakwood’s Ciyt Girl to the Tennessee Walking Horse World Championship
at the Celebration in 1944. City Girl died last year.____ _______________________
