" I tried to get my father ro rvrite you why he has been interested in thc
Tennessec Walking Horse for such a long time , but had no success .

" Father and Mother ride near every day whcn wcather permits . Father is 78 years old . , l \ s I statcd , rny interest is with my l0-ycar-old daughter . This will be the fourth season she has sholvn Tennessee Walking Horses . We keep lrom 20 to 25 horses in training and oul trainer is Bill Moore from Calhoun , Geolgia , rvho ' n ' as lolmcrly associatcd with Davis Blos , at Calhoun and G ] enn Turner of Dallas , ' fexas .
