Congratulations to DOUG WOL-
AVER and Triple Threat, the new
World Champions. It is nice to see
a horse duly rewarded for his many
years of hard work, and to compli­
ment this fine young trainer.
I am pleased to report that JULIE
LOVETT of LTnion, Kentucky placed
tenth with her horse, Son ofDestiny,
in the Juvenile Class at the Cele­
bration. This was a just conclusion
to a very successful year for both
of them. You never looked better,
Julie! NANCY ESCUE of Hebron,
Kentucky, made a good show on
her pony, Shadow’s Jet, when she
beautifully handled difficulties in the
show ring and brought the crowd to
its feet with a tremendous pass.
The owners of Meadowlake Farm,
Dr. and Mrs. JOHN M. SAWYER
and Mrs. B. F. SAWYER ofFranklin,
Ohio, were very happy when their
mare and colt, Midnight Society and
Go Boy’s High Stepper, became the
new champions of the world in the
Mare and Colt Class. This winning
pair was expertly shown by Mr. S. W.
BEECH and Mr. STEVE BEECH.
This was the successful cross of
Go Boy and Midnight Sun breeding.
This area is justly proud of the
fine horsemanship of Mr. PAUL
"WHITEY” WHITEHEAD of the
Kibler Farms, Mt. Orab, Ohio, who
showed both his young horses and
aged horses to many good workouts
and good ties.
October, 1965
SALLY SAWYER wishes to an­
nounce that she has a new Sun Dust
mare, The Star Lady, who will at­
tempt to take the place of Maid of
the Hills, at least until she has her
Ebony Masterpiece colt the first of
the year.
A highlight of our Celebration visit
was shared with our new friends,
JOE and JUDY MARTIN, at Mrs.
WISER’s lovely party, where she
graciously entertained in true sou­
thern tradition. This young couple
is doing a tremendous job for the
Fray Escue Stables and is putting
together a formidable show string.
Mr. and Mrs. EVAN WILLIAMS
are the proud owners of Top Cat S.
and their new black gelding, Cop­
per’s Cavalier, who tied sixth in
the Junior Gelding Class at the
Celebration.
We are happy to welcome Mr. and
Mrs. BILL ATKINSON to the Walk­
ing Horse world and we hope that
we will see them at many more
shows in the future.
In this area we are looking forward
to the Carthage show held in Cin­
cinnati, Ohio, the 15th to the 19th
of September; the Kentucky Walking
Horse Show at Shelbyville, Ky.; the
fall Dayton show the 8th, 9th and
10th of October; and the George­
town, Ohio, show.
I hope my readers will feel free to
help me make this an informative
column each month.
Last, but not least, our congratu­
lations go to Mr. and Mrs. KEN­
NETH WAINSCOTT (the former
Betty Margrave). We hope that Bet­
ty and Kenneth will join us at the
shows in the Walking Horse world.
Rumor of the Month:
BOB McQUERRY is going
to take over the trainer’s
spot with the Claude Brown
Stables of Morehead, Ky.

FOREST VIEW FARMS
News comes to the VOICE that
the Forest View Farms of Mr. FOR­
EST MARGRAVES in Union, Ken­
tucky, is undertaking a program of
expansion that is of interest to Walk­
ing Horse enthusiasts in that area.
Mr. Margraves has obtained the ser­
vices of Mr. BILL CARRINGTON
as trainer and they are currently
working on a new stable. A recent
discussion with Bill revealed that
they are "starting from scratch ”
and currently have only three hor­
ses. However, their new stable will
have eighteen stalls and they will
be taking in outside horses for train­
ing and board, in addition to the
several horses belonging to Mr.
Margraves.
Mr. Carrington enters the training
profession with a good background
of experience in both the Walking
Horse and Gaited Horse fields. He
is an experienced exhibitor and
judge and has been actively working
Walking Horses, both colts and aged
horses, for several years. More news
on this new training operation later!
SELLADOR STABLES
That classic city of the South,
Athens, Georgia, has a variety of
activity besides the University of
Georgia, and one such item of in­
terest is the Sellador Stables of Mr.
DAVID SIMPSON. A relative new­
comer to the ranks of the Tennessee
Walking Horse enthusiast, Mr. Simp­
son is making strides to increase
interest in the Walking Horse in his
area. He has Mrs. JERRIE PARDON
as his trainer and Mr. J. F. COLE
as general manager of the stables.
