BILL MOORE STABLES
One of the greatest boons to the Walking Horse scene
in Texas is the opening of a public training barn by Bill
Moore. Bill, no stranger to walking horse people through­
out the nation started in the business as an amateur
served as assistant trainer at J. Glen Turners’, and really
came into his own at Joe Wright’s Lone Star Stables,
Nacogdoches, Texas. At Lone Star, he provided such
show ring threats as Jan Wright on DARK SHADOW
SUN’S CELEBRATION, LOTS O’MIDNIGHT MID­
NIGHT SECURITY, and GO BOY’S BLACK BARON.
Now, Bill is prepaied to share his great ability for training
horses with the public.
Bill Moore Stables is located within the city limits of
Liberty, Texas, at the Trinity Valley Exposition grounds.
The facilities are excellent for the training of Walking
Horses, with 30 plus stalls, good ring, and ample room
outdoors. The mailing address is 522 Crockett St., Liberty,
Texas.
Among the horses Bill is working is a beautiful aged
sorrel stallion, SETTING SUN’S FLASH, by world’s
champion SETTING SUN out of a MAU GREY Mare.
This animal, owned by Roy Rogers of Houston, Texas-,
has all the good characteristics of his sire, and is coming
on stronger as the summer days lengthen.
Another aged stud high on the prospective stake horse
list is STOCKTON’S GO BOY owned by Doug Lannon
of Houston. This royally bred black horse is bv MERRY
GO BOY and out of SUN’S BLACK ANGEL. Mr. Lan­
non also has a blue roan two-vear-old filly at the stable
who is showing a good lick.
A young horse causing much comment by those who
have seen him is the two-year-old stallion, CELEBRA­
TION’S REVEL. This black colt with a star has looks
and ability rarely seen in a young horse. By SUN’S
CELEBRATION (a breeding stallion to watch for —
we’ve seen 10 colts which show an excellence achieved by
few stallions) and out of MERRY LACE, he is owned by
Roy Johnson of Livingston, Texas.
The Joe Wright family of Nacodoches have placed
three of their best horses with Bill. DARK SHADOW,
who needs no introduction, has rested all winter and
is back in training better than ever. She’ll hit the ring
looking for World Championship No. 7. MISS MIS­
SISSIPPI is another Wright horse you’ll remember from
the Celebration. With Bill aboard, this aged mare who
placed tenth in last years mare class, has a lick and big
way of going that few stallions can achieve. The other
horse in Bill’s charge is MIDNIGHT SECURITY. This
horse was unable to compete last year because of an
injury. You may have forgotten him, but you 11 not
again.
Heading the list of juvenile riders at Bill Moore
Stables is 'Paula Alford of Liberty. She and her gray
gelding, SMITH’S SABRE, will challenge juvenile com­
petition this season.

The good amateur roan mare, GEORGIA GLAMOUR
GIRL, is again in training with Bill. Owned and shown
by Becky Gandy of Ft. Worth, she was high point mare
in Georgia for two years. Becky and her WILSON ALLE.
horse are the real sports of the walking horse w°r M ■
Bill has several other young horses that started ate,
but are coming along in the Bill Moore tradition. 1 his
season, win-lose-or draw, you’ll know horses from Bill
Moore Stables have been in the show ring.
July, 1966
DONALD PASCHAL STABLES
The Paschal-Pitts combination has been one of the
hardest working and most effective professional training
teams around Middle Tennessee for some few years now.
A recent visit to their stable, constructed last year, indi­
cated that this could be one of the most successful years
they have ever had. Heading the list of top stock for 1966
will have to be the 1965 World Champion Amateur horse,
BOMB’S BALLEY HOO, owned by DeLeese Williamson.
“OP Bum” ... as Carlton Pitts calls him, is going strong
and should be the contender in this class again this year.
Close behind and also a formidable contender is Can­
dace Williams on her array of top horses. GO BOY’S
EBONY ANGEL, a terriffic black mare who defeated her
stable-mate in Montgomery last year, will be the most
potent threat with Candace up. This little lady has come
on this year to show true showring ability and should
be a winner in a lot of classes. She is also showing
CINDY’S SHADOW, another top black mare. Mr. and
Mrs. Dennis Williams, of Fayetteville, N.C. and Dr.
Sexton of Florence, S.C., parents and grandfather of Can­
dace, have eight horses currently in training with Donald.
GO BOY’S BLACK LABEL, a fine black mare is doing
exceptionally well in marc classes and ETERNAL SUN,
an aged black stallion, is fast making a name for him­
self in stake classes. Donald has shown him several times
this year winning some top blues. GO BOY’S GLADIA­
TOR, a four year old black stud is being trained and
shown by both Donald and Carlton and is also doing
well. This fine family also owns some fine young stock
in an EBONY MASTERPIECE fillv that is coming two
and a SPIRIT OF MIDNIGHT stud colt that will be
ready to work in the fall. CHEVY II, a top three year
old by MR. CHEVROLET, is also on the way to top
honors for the Williams family. Watch for Candace
Williams . . . she has the stock and the ability to “go all
the way.”
Carlton Pitts made note of a recent transaction by
Hall McNabb that involved the purchase of the dam of
both EBONY ANGEL and BLACK LABEL and a full
sister to these two top horses. The mare is fourteen years
old and is one of the greats.
There are a lot of top horses in the Paschal Stables
including MARK’S GO BOY, an exceptional two year
old stallion. This sorrel stud is owned by Mr. and Mrs.
Roy Carter of Lynchburg, Virginia, who also owns THE
BIG WHEEL, a three year old MACK K stud colt.
Roy Deberidge of Gallatin, Tennessee has a good
MERRY GO BOY filly that has tied first and second
on two times out with Carlton Pitts up. Also in the two
year old class is a Black MIDNIGHT SECRET stud colt
owned by Mr. Charlie Boscna of Beverly Hills, Calif.
Another standout in this age group is a Black MIDNIGHT
SUN stud colt owned by Mr. W. J. French of Dandridge,
Tennessee.
In addition to BOMB’S BALLY HOO, DeLeese Wil­
liamso n has SHADOW’S FLICA, a fine three year old
mare in training. Mr. Hugh Gillen, one of the new direc­
tors of the Breeders Association, has his BOMB’S SPECU­
LATOR. a four year old black stud in training and doing
well. Mr. Gillen also owns MERRY GOLD SUN, a full
brother to BLACK GOLD going strong in the three year
old class. This red roan stallion could be one of the best.
Mr. Wayne Longmeycr of Knoxville is pleased with
his horse, a gelding that is a full brother to SHADOW
