BUDDY HUGH STABLES
Much talk has generated around the construction of the new BUDDY HUGH Stables on the old Wartrace Highway in Shelbyville. He is currently working out of an older stable in town, awaiting the completion of his new barn. It is obvious to the trained eye that a lot of care and planning has gone into the construction of this stable. Ample room is provided in all areas for working with horses. The barn contains
thirty stalls, each 14’ X 14’, with automatic waterers and plenty of ventilation. The hallway is twenty-five feet wide, allowing room to work horses along the
two-hundred-twenty-foot run.
The barn is open-beam construction allowing maximum room for hay and storage overhead. Vinyl panels are placed at strategic locations within the tin roof allowing excellent lighting throughout the stable during the day. Branching off from the entranceway toward the rear is a large cross-tie area and an automatic cooler. Buddy’ s paneled office and a lounge will be located in front with a colonial porch out front. This will no doubt become a favorite gathering place for horse lovers who will want to come and whittle in the shade of the giant oak trees out front. Buddy plans to open sometime the latter part of June.
Moving day will be particularly hectic for Buddy and his lovely wife ANNETTE, who assists him in almost every phase of his business except riding. They will have a barn full of horses almost from the start. Making the trip to new quarters will be Shadow’ s Motion Man, a truly great four-year-old bay stallion owned by Mr. and Mrs. Charlie Waters. Goldfinger, owned by the Waters, will also make the trip. He is being groomed for three-year-old honors this year. Gunsmoke’ s Minute Man, a top two-year-old, is making a great play for Junior laurels also. He is owned by J. H. BOWMAN of Shelbyville. Buddy has a black two-year-old stud that he is particularly pleased with. As yet unnamed, this horse has the makings of a great one to bring yet more honor to his sire, Merry Go Boy. He is owned by DERRY- BERRY & THOMAS of Shelbyville. Sun’ s Holiday( who is for sale) is making progress for Charlie Waters and should be a top horse again this year. Mr. ERNEST SMITH has a top bay two-year-old stallion by his fine stallion Sir Winston, and Mrs. JEAN WOLFE, of Oconomowoc, Wisconsin, has a good three-yearold mare by Rodger’ s Perfection. WALLACE DUNN and FRED WIGGINS own a good bay stallion that is full brother of Shadow’ s King Cotton that is also making progress.
We hope to keep you will imformed on the progress of the new Buddy Hugh Stables and trust that Mr. Hugh will realize more of the same success that he has had in the past few years.
A welcome addition to the growing string of top horses at the Buddy Hugh Stables is Mack K’ s Big Story. Owned by Mr. and Mrs. LACY WEST of Kingsport, Tennessee, Big Story has been considered as one of the finest horses of the breed for several years.

He has been out of action for almost two years- is reported to be in excellent shape. It is rum and that he is being groomed for the " big ring” at Shelh^
ville. A lot of people think that this is one of the f horses that could get the job done. Watch for a w * golden sorrel stallion with a flax mane and tail u
he is hitting a tremendous lick, it will probably h Big Story. y De
HORACE YOUNG STABLES
If any man in the Walking Horse business could be called " everybody’ s buddy,” it is HORACE YOUNG of Lewisburg, Tennessee. This well-known trainer is about as easy-going as any man in the business and every time the gate opens you can count on him to be in there with some good stock. Horace has made a lot of top horses in the past and has some in the making now. We visited his stable on the Fayetteville Highway just outside Lewisburg recently and found him hard at work. Horace does not believe in rushing young stock and will not show them until they are ready. In this class this year he is working a really good Handshaker colt owned by Dr. and Mrs. BILL JONES of Fayetteville, Tennessee. The Jones have had good luck with their Handshakers Rebel and hope to see equal success with this one. Mr. BUDDY MUSGRAVES of Lewisburg has a two-yearold filly that is a " walking hoss.” She needs to grow a little but the makings are there and doing fine. Go Boy’ s Gentleman, a three-year-old stud, is also owned by Mr. Musgraves. Other two-year-olds include a Mack K stud colt owned by HENRY McKENSEY of Ashburn, Georgia, and a black stud whose owner is Miss BRENDA SCOTT of Lewisburg.
Mr. and Mrs. PANGLE STEWART own a roan gelding and also a good Walking Pony named Mr. Talk of the Town. Age horses include a Midnight Sun mare owned by JAMES HAWKINS of Lewisburg, and Sun Dust Jubilee, an aged sorrel stud owned and shown by JOE KELLY of Columbia. Go Boy’ s Cinderella, a black three-year-old mare, is working fine and will make some good shows this year.
Horace has about twenty horses in training, including eleven two-year-olds. This, within itself, is a good day’ s work and Horace can be counted upon to make the grade by hard work and " time in the saddle.’ Whenever you are in Lewisburg, be sure to visit the Horace Young Stables. Visitors are always welcome!
