wide. 1 have been told that the Cele­
bration track was laid out by placing
two pegs one third of the distance
apart, then describing arcs at each end
to provide the other two thirds. Width
ol the dirt track and its material con­
struction would depend upon indi­
vidual needs and conditions. One
friend of mine placed his posts lean­
ing toward the inside to protect the
horses. I am told such construction is
dangerous to the rider and horses must
be ridden far from the rail il the rider
is to keep his legs. BAG.

Q—"I have been unable to find a
true definition of a Tennessee Walker
pony, fs this similar to ponies in Amer­
ica, only half Tennessee Walker or
are they stunted registered Tennessee
Walkers. There is a lot of confusion
in our part of the country.” Velma
Bryant, 272 S. Main St., Cofax, Wash.
A—Insofar as I know, the word pony
applies only to the size of the horse—
and the definition means a horse not
more than 58 inches high measured at
the withers. J understand most Ten­
nessee Walking Ponies are not reg­
istered. There are some Midnight Sun
sired registered Tennessee Walking
Ponies but most are said to be off­
spring of very small mares. Some
bloodlines or rather nicking blood­
lines lend to run to smaller horses—
which become ponies. BAG.
