Voice of the Tennessee Walking Horse
TWTI Gaining Interest
In Sugarlantl, Texas
Reports of increased interest in
Tennessee Walking Horses are re­
ceived from Reader Jimmy D. Hooten
of Sugarland, Texas.
“I have a TWI-I black gelding by
Black Allen. He is a North Carolina
horse and he is an excellent pleasure
animal,” says Hooten. Numerous
people have tried to buy him from me
as he has such magnificent style and
carriage.
“After visiting in Shelbyville in July
I came home to Texas and after much
planning with two neighbors, Mr. P.
E. Schumann and Mr. G. O. Horn, I
returned to the Celebration with
them.
“Mr. Horn purchased Star of Mid­
night H, a black stallion, at the Har-
linsdale Farm Sale in Franklin. I pur­
chased a sorrell filly, Merry Winter
Rose, from Mr. John Taylor of Eagles-
ville, Tenn. Rose’s mother is a full
sister of Mighty Sun, a horse featured
in the Voice March issue.
“We are elated with these two fine
animals. Our horses have aroused con­
siderable interest locally in the TWFI
as a breed and will probably lead to
more Texas money migrating to
Tennessee.” (Note—Fine going,
Jimmy. And we notice you plan to
keep visiting in Tennessee.)
Book Given in Memory
Of Rural Mail Carrier
Mr. and Mrs. Talbert B. Hughes
of Johnson City, Tenn., have placed
a copy of the Biography of the Ten­
nessee Walking Horse in the Jones­
boro, Tenn . Public Library in mem­
ory of Mr. Rollin Britton, a rural
letter carrier.
Mr. Hughes said Jonesboro was the
second post office in the U. S. to go on
rural free delivery and Mr. Britton
was the first carrier. He was active to
within a few days of his death early in
October—but retired 33 years ago. He
was a fine horseman and interested in
the Jonesboro Riding Club.
Italian Will Ride Walker
C. IT. Turner, 3295 Woodhaven
Road, Memphis, 8, Tenn. says he has
a friend in Milano, Italy who has
been a horse lover all his life and is
an accomplished rider of hunters and
jumpers. “He plans to visit us soon,”
writes Mr. Turner, “and says ‘I think
the finest day of my life will be when
I ride one of those Tennessee horses.”
