Registry. He is not only the son of
Tennessee Walking Horse Industry. Snip’ s Chance— a great dam who at The Voice Editor welcomes such sponsored pages. There are many age 23 years is again in foal at The“ healthy facts” to be told to all who A. S. Dean farm at Christiana, Tenn., love the Tennessee Walking Horse. near Murfreesboro. Dean bought They cannot be told“ in free space alone.” We would go broke that Snip ' s Chance from Albert j. Dement,
way. Thanks. BAG. a son of famous“ Master Breeder” Albert M. Dement, when the. mare was a young filly.
Beau ' s official pedigree is cited in connection with this article. Here is a typical case of a Hidden Stallion who will be revealed to the industry because of the Syndicate.
“ What do you think about this syndication of Tennessee Walking Horses?" This question has been discussed, is being discussed and will continue to be discussed throughout the land by people interested in the Walking Horse— past, present and future.
We have received answers from a number of persons— and there is remarkable unanimity among those who " know the score."
" It is good for everybody— it will give the little breeder with a good stallion a better chance than ever before," is this opinion.
Some Do Not Understand
Some people— whom 1 am certain do not understand what is taking place— question the motives and results ol syndication under which some superior stallions are meant to be bred to superior mares at superior prices.
What is wrong with that? The syndicated stallions will be bred to fatfewer mares than was the case last year, and in previous years under the breeding practices formerly followed usually by all.
Syndication is not new to Horse People— it has been done in almost all other breeds of horses— and also with cattle and dogs and sheep and probably other domesticated animals— including hogs. It is a common practice—" new” to the Tennessee Walking Horse breeders.
How does the syndication plan give a“ better chance " to the smaller, perhaps non-professional breeder who owns a superior stallion? Let us lake a specific instance— involving a stallion I have never seen owned by a man whom 1 have met once— and whose lovely wife 1 have met once.
The Man is Dr. Glenn R. Powell— and his Wife also is joint-owner of the stallion.
The Horse is Midnight Beau— No. 551045— who is advertised in the Voice Stud Registry on an every month basis for S2-1 paid in advance. The fee listed is SI00.
Midnight Beau has superior bloodlines— and even a novice at checking pedigrees can see this fact. There are II Foundation animals listed on the fifth line, including Allan F-l five times.
He is a double grandson of Merry Legs F-4 on his dam’ s side— a fact that is so often overlooked in“ sizing up Walking Horses. He is a son of Midnight Sun, a grandson of Wilson’ s Allen and Last Chance; a great grandson of Hunter’ s Allen F-10 and Roan Allen F-38 and Birdie Messick F-86, etc. all the way back.
Bred By A. S. Dean
Beau was bred by A. S. Dean of Christiana and his dam is the same mare who produced Sun’ s Delight, a ■1-year-old contender for the 1963 Celebration Grand Championship of the World— who last year was Reserve Junior Champion ridden by Neal Branscumb lor Mr. Dean. This horse has been purchased by E. Fray Escue. He is being trained and ridden by Sam Paschal of Murfreesboro, who rode Ebony Masterpiece to the Grand Title in 1962.
The show history of Beau is typical of that experienced by many“ Hidden Heroes” of the male sex in the Tennessee Walking Horse World.
He was trained as a 2-year-old at Vic Thompson’ s Stable in Shelbyville and appeared to be on of the outstanding prospects of his time. He was“ show boss” material. But the stallion fell one day and injured his mouth. He cut his own tongue quite severely— as sometimes happens to children.
He could not be trained— and was not shown— and was returned to his original owner at Pikeville, Kentucky— a Mr. Earl Scott.
Last summer Dr. and Mrs. Powell devoted 10 days searching for a young promising Tennessee Walking Horse stallion in Tennessee— suited to their specific purposes. They started back home and found Midnight Beau within 44 miles of their place. The Powell Stables are at Painlsville, Ky. Con Lyon, a farm boy who has loved horses since babyhood, is Beau’ s official custodian and handler.
Dr. Powell has seen some of Beau’ s colts and they look promising to him. He believes Beau can produce superior Tennessee Walking Horses and is
