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 .
