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
