If these accounts of what is going
on at the stables excite you, let us

“good for what ails you.”
ALETHA WIEHL
(Continued From Page 40)
Bob has been riding SECRET
VENTURE all winter. To quote
him, “He is a powerful beauty. He
is the gliding type with a lot of
head motion. I was able to see the
McFarland horses, THE IMPALA
and QUEEN BEE win their classes
at the celebration. They showed
MIDNIGHT SECRET to a few of
us out at Harold Wises’ stables,
and I go about the countryside
here in Montana on SECRET VEN­
TURE imagining that we are per­
forming like Kay McFarland and
her blacks. When the sun comes
out and I can watch the shadow
I get the idea that maybe the
horses have an identical appear­
ance. I’ve known for a long time
that riding a Walking horse gets
a Persons’ ego up a bit. VENTURE
will certainly be good for the
Walking horse interest around
here. Most people care little about
HEY JOE, our old sire, until they
ride him. Almost always after the
Jide, the same people ask, “Is Joe
for sale?” But just having SECRET
VENTURE to look at has done a
lot for the local interest in Walk­
ing Horses.
T
that brings us to “HEY
> the gentleman everyone
loves, who happens to be a horse.
As you see him standing in his big
round-pole corral, if you were in
a hurry, you might pass by him
without a second glance. You
might. But, if you know horses at
all, I doubt it. For, he has “some-
thing about him.” Bob Keyser
springs on him and HEY JOE’S
walking before he hits the sad­
dle. Yet, Laura, Kim, Robbie, and
Danny “takes turns” riding him,
tug, and pull, and scramble around
and over him. They are good little
riders, but they are very little ri­
ders, and HEY JOE is a stallion.
But, he takes cares of them. He is
an understanding horse, and he
loves people. He knows his job,
which happens to be anything any­
one can think of to ask of him, and
he does it. Quietly. Willingly. This
is a happy horse. These are happy
people.
We were in a hurry, un­
fortunately, and couldn’t take time
to ride HEY JOE. Robbie found
this hard to understand. Don’t
they like our horse? — Everybody
rides HEY JOE!”
Yes, Robbie. We liked your
horse. He’s the kind of horse we
would like to produce by the hun­
dreds for people who want a real
pleasure horse. He’s the type of
Walker that made people want to
own a Tennessee Walking Horse.
He’s the kind of horse somebody
will travel across a state or two
just to ride. We’re coming back
some day, Robbie, and^ h°P®
you’ll invite us to ride HEY JOE
again, because we’re planning on it.
