Mrs. G. H. Case of Route 1, Carbon, Ind, says she received a Tennessee Walking Horse as a Christmas present.
“ We are new owners of two Walking Horses,” she reports.
“ My husband bought his first in partnership with another man and I began to learn riding on him. He is“ Arrow” by Midnight Sun.
“ My Christmas present was a 6-yearold Walking horse,‘ Walking Mac- Alien.’
“ My husband says I’ m‘ horse silly’ and he is afraid he’ ll come home one day to find I’ ve brought‘ Mac’ into the house.
“ I have considered it but with my four small children there isn’ t room. Most of the men who attend the field trails use Walking Horses. There is nothing like the picture of a procession of Tennessee Walkers following the dogs.”
( Note— Cannot think of a more appreciated Christmas present than this gift to Mrs. Case. Her testimony about field trials represents the concensus of many views. It appears to be almost unanimous.
Minnesotan To Tell Club About The TWH
Joseph E. Cook of 1560 Northdale Blvd., Coon Rapids, Minn., says he is thoroughly sold on the Tennessee Walking Horse and wants to help promote the breed through a saddle club in which he is a member. His wife helped arouse his interest in the Walking Horse and they acquired“ Magic Rambler,” with whom they are much pleased.
“ We belong to a saddle club that has adopted a program of educational meetings,” wrote Reader Cook.
“ Because we are unable to afford experts in the various fields of horsemanship, we pass the‘ duty’ on from one member to the other each month. It is the responsibility of that member to study any subject he chooses and pass the information on to the others.
“ Our turn is coming soon and because of our newly acquired love, we would like to discuss the Walking Horse,” he says in seeking all available information on the subject.”

Columbus, Miss., is training her horse and going to college at the same time— according to an illustrated article that appeared in the Birmingham( Ala.) Post-Herald. She is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Lester E. Wooten of Decatur, and her father is superintendent of the Morgan County Schools.
When Carol was a tenth grader her parents gave her a 2-year-old filly, then during her freshman year at Judson College they gave her 2-yearold Lady of Haven, a Tennessee Walking Horse, a granddaughter of Midnight Sun and Merry Go Boy.
On transfer to the Columbus institution Carol decided to take her horse so she could train her at a local stable in preparation for show competition.
132-Page Lexington Paper Includes Horse Activities
Our good friend, Gordon H. Wilder of P. O. Box 1049, Lexington, Ky., sent us a copy of that 132-page edition of the Sunday Herald-Leader’ s annual Bluegrass Review and Forecast.
It is a striking portrayal of the assets of the Lexington area— including almost 48 pages devoted to horses and the horse industry.
Naturally there is emphasis upon the racing activity, the big Thoroughbred establishments, the history of this important phase of horse business and related enterprises. This edition is certainly a treasure chest for persons interested in such events. It is dated Jan. 12, 1963.
The advertisement for Mr. Wilder’ s Loom and Needle establishment naturally highlights the Tennessee Walking Horse— carrying a picture of Sun’ s Mary Miller, a yearling daughter of the famous Midnight Sun. It also states that the Tennessee Walking Horse is the“ world’ s greatest pleasure horse.” The horse is named for Mrs. Wilder.
Shown with the horse is Nancy Nickell, a University of Kentucky art major and an expert horsewoman.“ Do come in the Loom and graze around in our new“ Filly Shop,” says the ad.“ You will find it filled with fashion excitements chosen with the high spirited young ladies of filly age in the Blue Grass in mind.”
