New TWH Farm At Waterloo , la . Father-Son Job
Dr . Rex B . Foster , of 919 West Fourth Street , Waterloo , Iowa , tells oC launching a new Tennessee Walking Horse Farm at Waterloo with he and his father as partners .
He reports they bought big Merry Go Boy offspring on a visit in Tennessee during the week of Oct . 22 . These horses were purchased through S . W . Beech . Jr ., of Route 5 , Lewisburg , including three weanlings and two yearlings . They have begun to break Go Boy ' s Bandit , to be two years old next April , and plan to bring him to Middle Tennessee for special training at that time .
While in Tennessee they visited stables at Lewisburg , Shelbyville and Murfreesboro — seeing many fine Walking Horses .
“ This is a new adventure to us , but in a few years we hope to make an impression ,” Dr . Foster says .
“ At the present time my father has a wonderful Shetland Pony farm ( around 50 animals ) and I have been breeding Quarter Horses and American Saddle bred horses ,” he continues . “ Since an injury to my back early last spring , I have decided on Walking Horses . I ’ m not as young as I thought .
" We want to return to Tennessee for the next five years and bring home two mares ( each year ). This should give dad and me a good foundation for breeding Walking Horses ."
Dr . Foster also would like to attend the Celebration next year and is seeking accommodations . ( The Shelbyville Chamber of Commerce annually handles reservations in private homes , taking care of many hundreds each year .)
