Trouble spots?
Treat them with
ABSORBINE
at the first sign!
For over 70 years, Absorbine has proved
effective in the relief of bog spavin,
windgall, ringbone, sores and bruises.
At the slightest sign, use Absorbine
promptly!
Full strength: Apply
right on strained
tendons or any troubled
areas. It draws out
soreness. Never any loss
of hair or blistering.
And it’s antiseptic, too.
No other liniment has
Absorbine’s combina­
tion of fungicidal
properties.

judges for the 1963 show, who gave
us some inside viewpoints on the
films. A most interesting question
and answer session was held with
the panel consisting of some of the
professional trainers and judges
at the meeting. Alan Stevenson
was the moderator and had his
hands full at times to keep things
moving. Alan, as usual, put his
polished manner at the podium to
work and managed to keep every­
one happy. After the banquet a
written examination was given to
all those applying for recognition
as an official A.W.H.A. Judge.
After the banquet I was honored
by an two hour conversation with
two very noteworthy young ladies
who are vitally interested in the
Tennessee Walking Horse. Mrs.
“Billie” Twine, long time member
of the National Association for the
Prevention of Cruelty to Animals
and the Virginia Humane Society,
and her traveling companion, Mrs.
Fine, were most interested in dis­
cussing the future of the Tennessee
Walking Horse, specifically as ef­

vise a daily Absorbine wash as ex­

fected by various training techni­
ques. Mrs. Twine is a person who
has been dedicated to the protec­
tion of animals since childhood.
Her love for animals is very ex­
tensive and she was clear to point
out that her efforts concerning
Walking Horse training methods
are aimed only at protecting the
breed and toward furthering the
Tennessee Walking Horse at large.
She is also well known for her
widespread activities to protect
other types of animals. As long as
we have people as dedicated to
animals as are Mrs. Twine and Mrs.
Fine, we are certain to be assured
of increased love of, and activity
with our many four footed friends.
Their efforts are certainly appre­
ciated.
On Saturday morning everyone
was out bright and early, eager to
sit in on various other sessions
covering such Walking Horse sub­
jects as the History of the Breed,
Shoeing the Walking Horse, Pre­
paring a horse for the Show ring
and the Care and Feeding of the
Show Horse. Immediately after
the luncheon meeting, Dr. Loren
Evans of the University of Penn­
sylvania School of Veterinary Me­
dicine gave a most interesting talk
regarding the use of Acrilic Plas­
tics in Treating Horses with ab­
normal hoof conditions.
From here on it was horses . . .
horses . . . horses!! The show
started at 2:30 with Judges Phin
Horton, Jr., J. Fred Pheiffer and
Dr. Lowell Clemmons taking their
respective positions in the center
of the ring and doing an excellent
job. These men tied horses, pay­
ing close attention to the prescribed
40% running walk, 20% flat walk,
20% canter and 20% conformation
in all classes, and it was pointed
out that when they asked for the
“boots to be dropped” that they
would certainly give credit to
clean horses.” From where we sat
these horses appeared to be in ex­
cellent shape and they were in ex­
cellent form. More proof that our
horses are better than ever and do
not need to be pushed into peak
performance.
Unfortunately we were not able
to stay and attend the Saturday
