Lubbock ' s Walker Team Wins Praise
( Contributed by J. B. Floyd) Lubbock, Texas has something new in Walking Horses. A Drill and Parade Team made up o £ sixteen flashy colored, head shaking Tennessee Walking Horses with riders dressed in the most colorful Western costumes and equipment the writer has ever seen in a parade team.
When this team marches down the street with their snappy slow running walk many viewers, not familiar with the gaits of the Walking Horse, think they are seeing high schooled horses that have been taught to do this gait.
The team has paraded in several of the neighboring cities, winning several first places for their colorful team.
Members are Foster Presley, Gladys Presley, Glover Leuenberger, Rebecka Brownlee, Ernest Holcomb, Velda Holcomb, Roger Quarles, Ray Strader, Mary Williams, Vernon Williams, Joe Sharp, Scout Sharp, Pat Bealer, Jerry Bealer, Waneta Leach, Roy Leach.
I found more copies of The Voice among these members than I have seen in one group, and Lubbock may be able to boast of more Walking Horses than any city in the West.
L. G. Leuenberger, club member, and active in the formation of this team, has recently built one of the most complete Walking Horse Stables to be found anywhere in the West. Several of the teams horses are stabled here.
Another incident new to most clubs, is the fact that they sent their, farrier, Loyd Williams, to work under another skilled farrier to learn how to better take care of their horses’ feet.
She Has Twin Colts, Nowr 14 Months Old Miss Doris McClelland of 5820 Manzanita Ave., Carmichael, Calif., informs me that we misidentified her in the October Voice because of misreading her name. She has twin registered Tennessee Walking Horse colts, foaled by Sunset Roll-A-Long, purchased two months before the colts were foaled
Ṫhe twins were sired by Stately Go Boy who was recently crowned Grand Champion Tennessee Walker of the Pacific Coast. They were 14 months old in November.
