10 Voice Advertised
Horses Win World Titles
23 Other Ribbons
Also Taken By Our
Celebration Entries
The Voice Editor claims nothing
at all but he and his Secretary-Wife
(Mary Frances) are Mighty Proud of
the fact that every horse that partic
ipated in the Celebration—which had
been previously advertised in any issue
of the Voice—won a ribbon with one
small exception. One advertised
horse did not participate because of
an injury to a prospective rider.
Our box score at the Celebration
for the 23 advertised horses shows
the following:
1 Grand Championship of the
World;
9 Other Championships of the
Worl d in various classes—each class
at the Celebration representing a
Championship of the World in its
specific classification,and including
Co-Champions in the 2-year-old Stal
lion Class that was split into two divis
ions for the prelimentary;
7 Reserve Championships of the
World for second places;
3 Third Place Ribbons;
3 Fourth Place Ribbons;
fi Fifth Place Ribbons;
1 Sixth Place Ribbon;
1 Seventh Place Ribbon;
1 Ninth Place Ribbon;
1 Tenth Place Ribbon;
Grand Total: Ten World's Cham
pionships out of the 24 awarded at
the Celebration; 23 other ribbons.
The Voice Editor believes this in
dicates: (1) We were mighty fortu
nate in that a number of fine friends
volunteered to advertise in our maga
zine; (2) That we showed good
judgment when we placed the Cele
bration Judges on our must list to re
ceive all copies of the magazine and
in some instances sent them two
copies; (3) That Voice advertising
gets maximum readership because it
restricts its emphasis and appeal to
the Tennessee Walking Horse and to
people interested in this bred; (4)
That we are headed in the right direc
tion when our motto reads “To main
tain a permanent publication that
will merit the support of all who
love the Tennessee Walking Horse.”
Many thanks to everyone. We do
not believe advertising anywhere real
ly “influences” any judge in the ring.
However, we do believe that judi
ciously placed advertising does at
tract attention to horses and to peo
ple and to things—and it makes
judges sort of "look” for that item
which is advertised—be it horse or
human or thing. If that is not abso
lutely correct grammar—you try say
ing it in that many words. (BAG)
N. California
Also Promises
Contenders
Virginia I.amb, who lives in Sac
ramento, the capital of California,
tells us the statement we quoted Mr.
R. Mitchel McClure as making about
Southern California being "Tennes
see Walking Horse country" should
also include Northern California.
To tell the truth, we figured
“Mitch” was most concerned about
the Southern California horses and
knew more about them because the
bulk of his automobile agencies are
situated in that section of the elongat
ed state. However, we believe we
misquoted him a bit and that he too
includes Northern California horses
in his prognostication that the Pacific
Coast troops will be contenders for
Celebration champions in the not too
distant future.
In discussing this matter with the
world’s largest Chevrolet dealer we
mentioned the possibility that Pacific
Coast horses should be flown to Mid
dle Tennessee to compete next year
in the 25th Anniversary Celebration
that is certain to set new records for
something. The major point about
the Mcl.ure statement was that “Cali
fornia-trained horses" would be in
future competition. It appears that
“long travel" overland takes so much
out of horses aiming for immediate
competition that the Pacific Coast
units will probably be air-born when
they start the invasion of Celebration
W o r 1 d ’ s Championship territory.
