1964-Voice Of The Tennessee Walking Horse 1964 December Voice

MELISSA and KAREN JONES Typical of Juvenile Walking Horse Exhibitors! “Keeping up with the Jones” is perhaps no problem, unless of course, you happen to be talking about Melissa and Karen Jones of Centerville, Tennessee. These two young Walking Horse enthusiasts, daughters of Dr. and Mrs. Ogle Jones, are typical of the many fine juvenile Walking Horse exhibitors from coast to coast. Active in many things besides Walking Horses, both Melissa and Karen are at the front of the class in school and in sports events. Melissa, who is a Junior at Harpeth Hall in Nash ville, is an honor student and a member of the Junior Riding Club of Nashville. In her sixteen years, this blonde Miss has acquired unique ability in the show ring and has shown successfully for several years. In 1959 and 1960 she won her age class in the Celebration on MELISSA’S POWER PACK. She also won the Equitation Class at the Celebration one year and this season has exhibited her mare MACK K’S COMET successfully. When discussing her 1964 Show Season, Marianne Leech, who trains their horses, says that she has been out of the money only once this year. ‘ Twelve year old Karen Jones, who shows an unusual talent for show ring competition, is also ac tive in events other than Walking Horses. She is a student at Ens- worth in Nashville and tries as hard to win in school as she does in the show ring. When this little bru nette enters the ring, you can be sure that she will give it all she has got to show her horse to perfection. She has been showing for several years and was tied third as a ten year old in the same class at the Celebration which her sister won. She won her age class at Montgom ery three years ago and has tied consistently wherever she has shown. At present she has a prob lem much like other juvenile rid DECEMBER, 1964 ers. She has outgrown her horse and is looking (with her father’s permission and Marianne’s help) for a good mount to show next year. It appears as if the coming year will be one in which we will be blessed with an abundance of Ju venile Walking Horse Exhibitors and we can all be certain that those “Jones Girls” . . . Melissa and Kar en, will again be in there giving their best down the straight-away, around the turns and in the line-up. DON’T MISS A MARE THAT SHOULD BE THERE!
