Voice of the Tennessee Walking Horse
Meridian, Texas, Heard From
A. C. McKinney of Box 585, Merid­
ian, Texas, informs the Voice Editor
that lie made an error and performed
horse-stealing (a hanging offense in
Texas) when reporlng the Texas State
Fair Horse Show in the November
issue. W'c saitl Kay Lynn’s Merry Bob
and foal, tied first in the Walking
Horse Mare and Foal Class, were from
Meridian. Mis-. The horse and foal
were shown by Brother McKinney.
The foal is by the well-known and
justly famous Rodgers’ Perfection and
the dam is by :he noted Merry Boy
of a generation ago (the daddy of
Merry Go Boy). We apologize for hi­
jacking the McKinney stock and here­
with return it to the home stalls in
Meridian, Texas. (BAG.)

Q—“Here’s S5. I would like to get
a copy of your training book.” (A
typical letter.)
A—We did not complete our train­
ing book project. Last October Mary
Frances and 1 returned more than
S3, 500 in about 700 checks to termi­
nate that venture in which we lost
about Si,000. It was a dumb stunt for
me to get the idea 1 could "write” a
training book. We recommend that
everybody wanting such a book send
S8 to joe Webb, Searcy, Ark., and get
the best factual book we have ever
seen written on Tennessee Walking
Horse Care and Training. Such a
book should be studied — and read
over and over again to get the good
Stull from it. BAG.

Double Amputee
(Continued from Page 15)
he did a lot of riding but somebody
else put the finishing touch of train­
ing on them.
He is still interested in horses, hunt­
ing and fishing. Five years ago, after
having his leg amputated, he at­
tended the Tennessee Walking Horse
National Celebration for two nights.
His hunting days are over, but he still
intends to get in some fishing this
year. A friend goes with him and he
takes his chair so he can sit and fish
from the bank.
When not working, he enjoys pass­
ing the time by watching television.
He especially likes the gospel quartet
programs and watches them whenever
he can.
