Walking Horse Breeder On Cyprus,
Mediterranean Isle, Orders Voice
The mail on Tuesday, Oct. 23,
1962, brought another great big eye-
opener for the Voice Editor and his
Secretary.
It was a letter from Guri Copla,
P.O. Box 163, Larnaca, Cyprus. He
was ordering a subscription with a
two-dollar bill and two one-dollar
Hills, U.S. currency. This letter was
addressed to the Voice Editor but it
was mailed to the Tennessee Walking
Horse Breeders’ Assn, of America,
Inc., at Lewisburg, Tenn.
Our Breeders’ Assn, friends for­
warded it to us.
We were amazed to learn from Mr.
Copla’s letter that he has a smooth­
riding Tennessee Walking Horse stal­
lion, and evidently has a breeding
program under way. We immediately
wrote to him asking more informa­
tion. His brief letter said:
"Dear Mr. Green, I’m very sorry
but I couldn’t send a leiter till now
because I moved here to breed horses.
"As I settle down here for the
meantime I’m trying to get from you
the magazine of 'The Voice of the
Tennessee Walking Horse.’
