DEDMON-ROBINSON was particularly pleased with a STABLES colt by their Billy Wilson stud , and the brood mare band . They have the foundation for building one of the finest Walking Horse operations in this part of the country . They have Sun ’ s Easter Star , a full sister of Sun ’ s Big Shot and Sun ’ s Go Boy ; a twentyfive-year-old Merry Boy mare named Chiefs Glamour Girl ( this World Champion mare has had three colts win the Futurity ); Midnight Moon G ; and Melody Lane , the mare that MARJORIE GILL showed which is in foal to Shadow ’ s Luminaire . All totaled , they have twelve mares in foal to good stallions . It should be a good year for Greenacre Stables .
BULLETIN FROM ILLINOIS
mr . and Mrs . GEORGE O . WELLS of Cicero , Illinois have purchased The Bombardier ’ s Son , a beautiful chestnut stallion , from PAUL J . LANINGA , Chicago . The Son is under the expert training of JIM ALT­ MAN , Walkon Stables , Oak Forest , and will be shown this season throughout the Northern Illinois Circuit by Mrs . ( CAROLINE ) Wells .
HAMILTON STABLES
From Rome , Georgia comes news that a new stable has been opened by Mr . HOWARD HAM­ ILTON . They have a 28-stall stable and a full-time trainer in the person of Mr . BILL TITUS . Bill has been in the horse business for over twenty-five years , and spent thirteen years with
New in the horse business , but nonetheless active , is the stable of Mr . and Mrs . GEORGE DED- MON and Mr . ROBINSON of Chatsworth , Georgia . Things have come to a brief halt while trainer ALBERT BYROM rests up a broken leg , but they should be back in full swing shortly . Mr . and Mrs . Dedmon became interested in Walking Horses some two years ago , and last year decided to build a stable of their own . They have a nice twelve-stall barn with a regulation-size outdoor ring and other facilities for training horses . Albert Byrom , who has been in the Walking Horse business for many years , was trainer for Dr . O . H . CHITWOOD in Fort Payne , Alabama before coming to work at Dedmon-Robinson . He has 12 horses in training and should be ready for some of the first shows of the season .
CAMPFIELD STABLES
Trainer E . L . O ’ CALLAHAN of Tupelo , Mississippi , reports that all is well with the Campfield Stables of Dr . P . K . THOMAS . They are still aiming at top amateur and juvenile horses , and have seven or eight riders lined up for show ring activity this year . They now have 18 horses in training , including Go Boy ’ s Drummer Boy , purchased from JIMMY WADDELL for MIKE THOMAS to show , and an age mare which they bought from SAM PASCHAL in September for twelve-year-old ANN THOM­ AS to show . Fifteen-year-old
PERRY THOMAS will show Go Boy ’ s Party Doll this year .
E . L . has several good twoyear-olds in training , including a Go Boy stud colt owned by T . M . MAGEE of Calhoun City . As usual , we will probably hear a lot from the Campfield Stables in 1965 .
CIRCLE 4 HORSE FARM
There is plenty of activity at the Circle 4 Horse Farm of PAUL WEINER and GLENN WHITE in Cedartown , Georgia . Their trainer , HARVEY LEFEVERS , is now working horses full-time . This is Harvey ’ s first year as a full-time trainer , and he is doing a good job . He is now working sixteen horses , eight of which are Circle 4 horses . The others are individually owned . They have some two- and three-year-olds that look like great potentials for 1965 . One is Society ’ s Little Man , a little two-year-old bay stud sired by Society ’ s Surprise out of a Midnight mare which is really something to watch . Harvey started riding this colt January 2 , and he is already setting up there and walking like an age twoyear-old .
Another one is Society ’ s Blue Velvet , a good two-year-old filly sired by Society ’ s Surprise which is a great potential ; but the one that everyone is talking about is Society ’ s Immortal Son , alight chestnut three-year-old stud which stands nearly 16 hands . He is also sired by Society ’ s Surprise out of a Midnight Sun mare . He is as fine as they come and is ready for the show ring .
Mrs . PAULINE RENTZ is also spending a lot of time at the Circle 4 Stables these days . She is beginning to ride some of the horses she will be showing this year . One is a three-year-old black mare sired by Society ’ s Surprise out of a Midnight mare that she will be showing in the Mare class . And we don ’ t want to miss Society ’ s Surprise himself , the amateur stallion who made a great record for himself last year . These are only some of the outstanding horses being trained at Circle 4 Stables .
