WAY DOWN SOUTH by Janie Bramlett Box 252 Oxford, Mississippi
Hello again from " Way Down South.” With school
out and horse show season just beginning to get into full swing, it looks like the next few months will be busy ones for both trainers and exhibitors alike. And if these few shows that I have attended are an example of the first-quality shows that we are going to have this season, we are certainly going to have a very competitive year with classes full of top quality
show horses.
Sommerville, Tennessee, held its annual show on May 21, with J. T. LEECH judging the Walking Horse classes. Mr. and Mrs. FRED FOWLER started the afternoon’ s activities with a delightful buffet dinner for all the exhibitors. Everyone seemed to enjoy the wonderful food and excellent company. It just wouldn’ t seem like the Sommerville Horse Show without the Fowlers’ annual dinner. The visit to the lovely Fowler home and the visit with Mr. FRED, Mrs. Fowler, and DEBBIE is always eagerly looked forward to.
The show which followed the Fowlers’ party was an excellent one, with all the classes filled with some top show stock despite the foul weather and muddy track. The two-year-old class was won by RUSSELL PATE riding Ebony’ s Ole Crow owned by BILLY HALE. This was the second straight win for this top two-year-old stud; he had previously won his class at Searcy, Arkansas. Second in this class was Norman’ s Go Yonder, ridden by BILL CRUTCHER for Mr. and Mrs. PORTER NORMAN. This black stud is sired b the Normans’ good stud, Little Merry Boy. The juv( nile class winner was Go Boy’ s Challenger, ridde by ROBBIE PEGRAM. The amateur class was wo by Shadow’ s Shadrack. Mr. FAULKNER took ov € for daughter, FLO, who is away at college, and mad quite a ride.
