EAST TENNESSEE JUVENILE

Chuck Isbill of Etowah, Ten­
nessee does not look as natural
serving as Flag Bearer as he does
receiving ribbons at the end of an
amateur or juvenile class. Chuck
and his seven year old roan geld­
ing ALLEN’S BIG SHOT were in
shows practically every week-end
from early spring until late fall
and were always in the money.
They started the season with a
“blue” in Oak Ridge in April, and
ended with a “blue” in Murphy,
North Carolina in October. Chuck,
son of Mr. and Mrs. Clarence Is­
bill, is an eighth grade student
and a football player, but nothing
interests him more than his horse.
He started with ponies at the
age of seven, and soon wanted a
Tennessee Walking Horse. So, with
the help of Mr. Wink Groover,
Chuck was soon the owner of his
first Walking Horse, SYCA­
MORE’S PRIDE, and won more
than half of the pleasure walking
classes that he entered. His next
horse, ALLEN’S BIG SHOT, was
purchased from Mr. Clyde Ander­
son of Athens, Tennessee.
Chuck is a favorite rider of
hundreds of horse enthusiasts in
East Tennessee, making new
friends each place he shows. Older
horsemen describe him as one of
the best young riders in the South.
The way he handles ALLEN’S
BIG SHOT is very outstanding, as
was proven at the National Cele­
bration in Shelbyville this year.
