‘KEEP TALKING’
MRS. BEN A. GREEN
‘Sun Gold Rhoda* Stricken
Mrs. Nelda Majure Golding of the
outstanding L. L. Majure Stables, 2845
Poplar Springs Drive, Meridian, Miss.,
tells us her fine show mare “Sun Gold
Rhoda” died on Sept. 28. “She got
sick on Thursday morning and in spite
of all we could do and the best medical
help available we lost her on Satur­
day,” she wrote the Voice Editor.
“Although we have a stable full of
horses, she was my personal horse and
I feel her loss keenly,” Mrs. Golding
continued.
(Note—Many Voice friends have told
us that losing a personal, beloved horse
is almost like losing a member of the
human family. Such is the appreciation
of a horse-lover—and we feel sure that
the horse understands he or she is loved
—and reciprocates.

Bride’s Home ‘Must’ Have Book
and Voice
A brand-new bride, Mrs. Sandra
Hogdson, Rt. 1, Box 275, Omak,
Wash., warms our heart with this:
“Would you please send me a copy of
your book ‘Biography of the Tennessee
Walking Horse.’
“I have just recently married and
my new home does not have any Walk­
ing Horse books or magazines. My
mother told me she was ordering the
Voice for my birthday gift. I used to
be Sandra Snitily from Wenatchee,
Wash. My mother has your book al­
ready and I feel it is a must to include
it in our home . . . I’m looking forward
to receiving it soon.”
(Ed. Note — Dear Sandra. Can’t
think of any bride and groom being
better equipped for a long life of hap­
piness than by getting the Voice
monthly, and the Biography “forever.”
The magazine and the book express
“love for a breed and love for people.”
Of such fabric — permanent, happy
and profitable marriages are made.)

Horse Registrations Soar
Secretary Fulton’s bulletin to
TWHB&EAA members said horse
registrations in September were run­
ning approximately three weeks be­
hind the daily arrival of mail carrying
applications for registration. Already
registrations were “in the 1,800 brac­
ket” and if mail continues at the cur­
rent rate the registrations for 1963 will
exceed those of the previous year.
Since the Voice began publication in
March, 1962 it has carried monthly
the official list of registrations. (There
is often times a confusion of terms on
this matter. Some subscribers have
tended to think that a “transfer” is a
registration. It is not. The “transfer”
is issued when a horse is sold or pos­
session otherwise passes on to another
owner. A horse may be transferred
many times. A horse may be registered
only once.)

A Walker For Independence, Calif.
Christmas came early for Bernard
R. Crawford, P. O. Box 302, Indepen­
dence, Calif.—93526. His wife bought
him a Biography of the Tennessee
Walking Horse “for Christmas” in a
letter to the Voice Editor dated Sept.
24. “We consider our broodmare one
of the family and are awaiting her
blessed event next Spring,” wrote Mrs.
Crawford.
“We have only had her a year, but
think she is one of the finest of horses.
We never heard of Walkers before pur­
chasing her, and there are no others in
our vicinity.” The Crawford family en­
joyed the shows at Indio and Pomona
where Walkers were featured — they
think the Voice is very interesting and
helpful — and they want to come to
