Rodgers ' Perfection ' s $ 500 Srud Fee Sets New Record For Wqlking Horse
Another highl, v significant development in the field of " Tennessee Walking Horse Appreciation " took place recentlv u-hen Dr. Porter Rodgers annouricecl the service fee for-his championship stallion-Rodgers ' Perfection-will be $ 500 this season.
This apparently marks an alltime high for stud fees in the history of the breed. As such it is another element that strengthens the basic factors in valuation of all registered
Tennessee Walking Florses. Some students of the breed have expressed belief for years that higher stud fees should prevail with reference to champion stallions of the breed.-fhey cite higher fees in all other major horse breeds and in breeds of other animals used for show purposes and also some for racing.

Rodgers ' Perfection was crowned the Celebration Grand Champion of the
World in 1959 at Shelbyville. He was promptly retired by his owner as a
4-year-old but continued to take part in exhibitions and began an extensive breeding program.
Some of his colts are ready to show this vear as two-vear-olds and Trainer- Man ' ager Joe ' illebb says they are promiiing indeed. It was Webb who irained Perfection almost his entire
lifetime at the Rodgers ' farm at Searcy, Ark. He practicallY duplicated the Celebration track-inch-byinch-in preparing for the championship sweep. In 1958 Perfection placed second to Go Boy ' s Invasion in the
Junior Championship stake but the iables were exactly reversed in the 1959 Grand Championship.
