The Howell and Tompkins walking pony project, which we have kept under wraps until we saw the colts, is now a proven venture. We have several colts on the ground and they all have a true walking gait. We are convinced that the Welsh and Shetland cross are both going to produce the best kids’ ponies in America today, whether for pleasure or show.
These colts look and move like miniature walking horses. We intend to take movies of these colts, and any organization that is interested in the films may get them by writing to Pearl Tompkins, Elmo, Montana.
The stallion used in the breeding program on both the Welshs and Shetlands is a registered Tennessee Walking Stallion named BIG ENOUGH, No. 590084. He is a double bred LAST CHANCE horse. This stallion stands approximately 58 inches high, and when used on large mares has demonstrated his ability to produce small, fine boned natural running walkers.
The Larsons held a clinic at the TR Dude Ranch near West Glacier on Memorial Day. Instructions were given on showing horses and equitation. A nice warm day drew a big crowd and everyone felt well paid for their trip. Another one will be held soon.
The Larson Training Stable reports several nice pleasure walkers in training and interest is growing all the time. Dorothy Fisher of Billings has a beautiful palomino mare at the stables which she recently purchased in Wisconsin. This pleasure mare knows several tricks and Roy Larson is helping Dorothy learn how to put her through them. We knew Roy could train a show horse to perfection, and we found he can also put a trick horse thru its routine as well. The horsemen in Western Montana are fortunate to have such a well known and able instructor.
The first Montana show this summer will be held in Billings. Several walkers are going from Western Montana. Among them, the following are going from Larson’ s Stables: CARRYBACK, a mare owned by Art Harlow; JEW EL’ S FANCY KING owned by Virgil Ferree, and“ MY MUSIC MAN owned by Virgil Dutton.
The month of May has been a busy time for the horse breeders. New colts have been arriving daily, and the anxiety of“ sweating out” these foals keeps everyone on their tees.
