TARHEEL REVIEW
by Elaine and Harold Thacker Rt. 5, Winston-Salem, N. C.
During the month of February Elaine and I visited two Walking Horse Stables in the State. At each Stable we visited, we saw many outstanding horses.
We started with one of the finest and largest walking horse barns in the state, Rolling Acres Farm in Thomasville, N. C. Mr. C. A. Bobo is the trainer at Rolling Acres Farm. His barn consists of thirty-four stalls. We spent a very delightful half- day watching him work out his horses. The first horse we saw was a chestnut stallion, JUNE’ S DIAMOND. This stallion is owned by Mr. Bob Davis and Mr. Link Spainhour. This horse is one of Mr. Bobo’ s top three-year-olds. MISS SUN DOWN R owned by Dr. R. R. Renfrow, Fayetteville, N. C. is a top threeyear-old mare. She was shown last year as a very successful twoyear-old by Mr. Bobo.“ Charlie” has several promising two-yearolds at the barn. MIDNIGHT DARK LADY, out of a GO BOY SHADOW mare by MIDNIGHT
duate from the University of Minnesota, where he earned his B. S. and M. S. degrees.
In private life his work is with other types of livestock, as he is General Manager of the Central Livestock Association, Inc., of South St. Paul, Minnesota, the largest livestock selling agency in the world. In June, 1962, Mr. Carnes was elected the Minnesota representative on the Board of Directors of the National Livestock and Meat Board.
Other judges of this stature will be named in the near future.
MIKE, which is a fine combination hard to beat, is his leading twoyear-old mare. This black mare is owned by Brenda Smith from Lexington, N. C. We saw a fine twoyear-old bay stallion SUN’ S GO BOY CRUSADER by SUN’ S GO BOY. This stallion is owned by Mr. and Mrs. Ed Hubbard, Sanford, N. C. SUNDOWN’ S FIRST LADY has proved to be a“ First Lady” in the ring. This mare, owned by Charlie Waters of Alexanders, La., is an outstanding sixyear-old mare. At Rolling Acres Stables there is also another fine mare. This black five-year-old mare is known as HIGH HAT SHADY LADY. Many top honors came her way last year. She is owned by Mr. J. J. Cignitto of Pennsylvania.
The Stallions at Mr. Bobo’ s Stables are not to be outdone by these fine mares. One of Mr. Bobo’ s outstanding stallions is SUN’ S TOP BRASS. Around the stables he is known as“ Bo Jack.”“ Bo Jack” is owned by Mr. C. A. Bobo of Thomasville and Mr. Ben Hashe of Greenville, Tenn. The first show Mr. Bobo will attend will be at Pilot, N. C. on the outskirts of Thomasville. The date of this show is March 28.
The next stables we visited was Northwood Stables, High Point, N. C. Mr. Kenny Price, trainer, rode several of his top horses for us. Among the horses he rode were two chestnut stallions, SUNDOWN BILLIE, owned by Mr. Harold Eames, Greensboro, N. C.. and AF TER SUN owned by Mr. H. C. Reaves, Asheboro, N. C. DIAMOND LIL’ S SHADOW, a roan stallion, won many championship classes
