PECAN HILL STABLES.
On our trip to Texas to cover the Pin Oak Charity Horse Show, we went to Dallas, Texas and had an opportunity to see several of the Walking Horse Stables in that area. One of the first places we stopped was at the Pecan Hill Stables of Mr. John Sharp in Garland, Texas. Mr. Sharp has a small, wellkept stable in which he, personally, is active as the owner and trainer. One of the first horses which he wanted to show us was DAY- DREAMER, a three year old, deep sorrel stallion out of a GO BOY mare and a MOUNTAIN MAN stud. We also saw COMMANDO, a six year old sorrel stallion and THE MAYOR, BY SUN’ S EL DORADO out of JOE ALLEN D. A top prospect which he was particularly proud of was a young colt named WALKING FOR FUN,( see picture). This colt is by TRI PLE THREAT out of a granddaughter of OLD ROAN ALLEN F-38. Mr. Sharp thoroughly enjoys his horses and likes to train and show them himself. If his prediction is true, we will be seeing more of WALKING FOR FUN. This sorrel colt is built right and loose as he can be. SUNDOWN STABLES
We stopped by to see Dub Ivins of Garland, Texas who is trainer for the Sundown Stables. They have a new all-metal barn located on a beautiful plot of ground with a regulation size ring out near the highway. Dub showed several horses at the Pin Oaks Charity Horse Show and was very pleased with his record there. The first horse that he showed us was GO
38
BOY’ S RINGMASTER, a six year old stake horse that has been shown successfully three times in 1964. Dub has made amazing progress with this horse and he should make a name for himself this year. We saw a good looking three year old mare owned by Harlan Roy of Dallas, Texas. This horse, named MARY’ S EASTER, was second in the Junior Mare Class at the Pin Oaks Show. She is a good looking mare and has got what it takes to become a top horse. Dub also has several good horses owned by Dr. J. B. Landreth of Garland, Texas. EVANGELINE QUEEN is a dapple, grey, six year old mare, owned by the doctor’ s daughter, Jackie. They are particularly proud of a two year old filly by SUN’ S SEN SATION. This fancy bay filly has been shown several times this year and has tied second and third in some of the top classes of that part of the state. MAC’ S BLUE BOY, a three year old gelding, owned by M. H. Wade of Waco, Texas, was fourth in the three year old class in the Pin Oak Show on his first time out. Dub, who worked for four years on the J. Glenn Turner ranch with Harold Kennedy, has been working at the Sundown Stables for one year. Since that time, he has made a considerable impression with the horses he has had and has good prospects for developing some top stock. BEN GARRET STABLES
Back in Dallas, after spending the morning in and around Garland, Texas, we went by the Ben Garret Stables and talked with Charlie Nash, the trainer. Charlie, who has just moved from Mississippi to take over as trainer for Mr. Garret, had just had a slight accident that laid him up for a few days. He had been working on a horses’ shoe and a dog spooked the colt knocking Charlie to the ground where he got stepped on. His injuries didn’ t appear to be too serious at that time, but were obviously very painful. We talked with Charlie, asking about his background and found that he has been in the Walking Horse business for quite a few years. He has previously worked for Mr. J. K. Garloch in Helena, Arkansas. In 1946, he worked for Mr. Everett Slayden before setting up his own public stable in New Albany, Mississippi. Charlie also worked for Mr. Billy Grubb in Memphis, Tennessee for two years, and had been working in Brookhaven, Mississippi for some time before coming to work for Mr. Garret. Charlie had only been in Dallas for a short time and had barely become acquainted with the horses with which he was going to work. He mentioned SHADOW’ S CHAR MER, a two year old sorrel filly that he had recently started. Charlie is also working MR. PERSON ALITY, the juvenile champion at the Houston show with fifteen year old Earlynne Carr of Dallas, Texas in the saddle. JOHN G’ S GO BOY, owned by Raymond Craglow of Dallas, Texas, is an excellent three year old sorrel stud. For Mr. Garret, he is working SULTRY’ S CHANCE, a black, two year old filly, and D ELINA’ S PHOTO STATIC, a sorrel junior horse with a bald face that can hit that big lick. Charlie has eleven horses in training and has prospects for getting many more. We wish the best of luck for the future and hope Charlie stays out from under those horses.
