Works TWH In Trials, And They Are Excellent
Martha Baynard of Rural Route 1, Box 111, Dover, Delaware, says they use Tennessee Walking Horses in the fall and spring for working bird dogs in field trials“ and have found them to be excellent in covering ground, scouting dogs over and through any kind of country and quickly adapting themselves to dogs, birds, guns, etc.”
She says all seven horse shows in the Combined Eastern Shore Horse Show Assn, have Tennessee Walking Horse classes. The Baynards’ Walking Horse won 4th place for overall high points in the TWH Division and won the pleasure class championship for 1962. Their pride and joy is a big bay gelding, by Midnight Sun.

“ It ' s sad news and good netos,” said Grand Ole Opry Star Hatckshaic Hawkins to talented vocalist Wilma Lee Cooper Saturday night, March 2, at this famous Country Music show before 4,000 people in Nashville“ My favorite Tennessee W^k ng Horse died— Romeo Allen,” said Hawkshaw,“ Bought him two years ago for $ 2,500 and wouldn’ t, have taken $ 10,000 for him. He icon third in the 4-Year-Old Stake last year at Ellington Center, Nashville, in his very first show. I planned to enter him in the Celebration at Shelbyville,” the six-foot-six singer went on.“ He was ridden by J. D. Hall.”( a Voice advertiser).“ There’ s good news too,” confided Haickshaw.“ Jean( Grand Ole Opry Star Jean Shepard and Hawkshaw’ s wife), will have her baby soon.”“ And I have‘ good neics also,’ said the beauteous W’ lma Lee and she told how her daughter, Carol Lee, and Jimmy Snow were conducting a revival in Arkansas.” Hawshaw said he was finishing a 15-stall barn, has 7 Tennessee Walking Horses on hand note and is ready to get into the business“ in a b’ g way.” Anything’ s bound to be big with Hawkshaw— a one time West Virginia hill-climber.
The above lines were ivritten March 4, 1963. Hawkshatc teas killed in an airplane accident March 6 that took the lives of three other Opry personalities, Cowboy Copas, Patsy Cline and her personal manager, Randy Hughes. The Voice Editor was greatly grieved at their passing. He loves all Country Music People, he once edited Country & Western Jamboree, and icrote Grand Ole Opry stories for the Nashville Banner. A fifth Opry figure, Jack Anglin, was killed in an auto accident while driving his car alone to Patsy Cline’ s memorial services in East Nashville. We sympathize with the big Country Music World.
