Mr . and Mrs . CARL HOBBS of Benton Harbor , Michigan tell me that they bought their first Walking Horse , a three-year-old now , from Mr . HAROLD WISE of the Murray Farm in February of 1964 . She is a Go Boy mare . They originally purchased her for a pleasure horse , but decided it might be fun to show her so they left her with the SHAW twins of Pulaski for less than six months , then took her on to Michigan . In her very first horse show she came out with the blue . Since then they have bought three more mares and have high hopes for them . I am looking forward to hearing how these mares do in the coming season . Good luck , Mr . and Mrs . Hobbs , and thanks for contacting me .
Mr . and Mrs . Wink Groover had a very enjoyable party after the horse show . They had all kinds of good things to eat . I had a very good time and so did all those who attended .
I guess this winds up the news for the edition but I ’ ll be back next month with bells on . I hope to have more stables ’ news then because I graduate Sunday , May 23 , and will then have more free time .
