TRIPLE N FARMS
On a recent trip to Dayton, Ohio,
we had opportunity to spend the
night at the TRIPLE N FARMS of
Mr. W. R. “Nick” Nichols in Blan-
chester, Ohio. We first met Mr.
and Mrs. Nichols last year and
have looked forward to visiting
with them for some time. At the
Celebration, Nick insisted that we
spend some time with them if we
were able to attend the Amateur
Horsemen’s Association Meeting in
Dayton.
We were up bright and early at
the insistence of trainer L o n n y
Jones, who was up on the hill
working RHYTHM’S SHADOW, a
black three year old stud that has
the country buzzing around there.
Lonny, who is a young man with
several years experience, worked
at the Kibler Farms with “Whity”
Whitehead and also with Marvin
Wilson before coming to work at
the TRIPLE N. He is one of those
talented fellows who has decided
to make training a career. RHY­
THM’S SHADOW has been shown
as a Junior Horse and also in sev-
veral Stud & Gelding and Stake
Classes in the Ohio and Kentucky
area. He was in the final work­
out in the Celebration and made a
strong bid for honors with Lonny
in the saddle.
Also outstanding at the TRIPLE
N is WHITE MUSIC, a two year
old white stallion that has won
several top ribbons this year and
is being groomed as an amateur
horse for Nick Nichols to show
next year. Plans for the TRIPLE
N at present include the comple­
tion of a 20 stall concrete block
stable, which was under construc­
