TIES & TROPHIES
EDITOR’ S NOTE: We welcome Mrs. LLOYD ISAACSON to our staff of Contributing Editors with much pleasure. She will be covering the " home front,” so to speak, and will provide bits of news and information regarding the horse activities in and around Lewisburg, Tennessee. She has a varied background in the Walking Horse business and is currently active both as an owner and an exhibitor. She comes well recommended as a knowledgeable and enthusiastic horsewoman.
Everyone thought " Spring had sprung” here in Middle Tennessee but last month Mother Nature kept things quite cold at times.
We saw TOBY GREEN in Lewisburg recently and learned of his new associate, Mr. GAINES LUNA. Since BUDDY HUGH left and has almost completed construction of his new stable, Toby has been looking for an associate and appears to have found a good man. Toby says Drug Dealer, and three-yearold stallion, is by far the best horse he has ever ridden or shown. He will enter the show ring this spring. Drug Dealer is owned by L. C. HALL. Another horse Toby is expecting great things from is Gun Smoke’ s City Girl, a four-year-old mare owned by CHARLOTTE GREEN.
I was out to see Mr. HAROLD WISE at his stables and was pleased with the condition of Triple Threat. He never looked better— more and more the Champion he really is. The big talk at Harold’ s stables these days is Triple Threat Again, a big bay two-year-old owned by
Mr. GOTTLOB KOENIG and EL LEN METZGER of Daytona Beach, Florida. This colt was first introduced to the Walking Horse world in an article in the VOICE several months ago. They recently moved him from their Port Orange Stables in Florida to Lewisburg because he had generated so much interest. All who have seen him say that he is a " most impressive” colt, showing all of the bloom, size and ability of his famous sire, with looks and conformation second to none. Rumor has it that DOUG WOLAVER will show him this year. WOW! There is a lot of activity at the Wise stable, including breeding and training. Stop by to see them anytime.
Over at Triple T Farms, trainer ALBERT ROWLAND has a barn full. He is particularly pleased with the progress of Quarterback Sneak, a " stake horse” in anybody’ s book. This horse is coming on strong and should prove to be a surprise to a lot of people. Yankee Doodle is reported to be ready for Miss JANIE JULIAN to show and Alvin is waiting for RONNIE CLEMENT.
Albert has several other surprises for the Walking Horse public, including a Junior stallion named Setting Sam. He is by Setting Sun and shows all of his breeding with a big lick and " go yonder.” April Love is showing a lot of improvement, if that is possible, and so is a full brother to her that Albert has had for only a few months. Horse for horse, Albert Rowland is noted for putting about as good a string of horses in the show ring each year as anyone.
A note of interest regarding the activities at Triple T Farms is the mode of travel utilized by owner CLARENCE CLEMENT of Hickory, North Carolina. Mr. Clement has been buzzing the country in a new Leer Jet, a ten-seater that covers the trip from Hickory to Lewisburg in 27 minutes. The Jet Set of the Horse World!
A growing attraction in these parts is an occasional get-together of the ' horsey set.” The second week in April we all met for a potluck supper at the recreation center. This was about the fourth gathering we’ ve had, and good food and companionship was plentiful, with lots of " horse talk. Among those attending were Mr. and Mrs. HAROLD WISE Mr and Mrs. WINK GROOVER, Mr. and Mrs. ALBERT ROWLAND, Mr. and
Mrs. PETE YOKLEY, LUCIAN and JEAN SCOTT, Mr. and Mrs. S. W. BEECH, the WILLARD RAMBO’ s, Mr. and Mrs. BOBBY BEECH, Mr. and Mrs. EVERETTE PATTERSON, MALINDA MARDISM and STEVE BEECH and many, many others. It is a growing event that should continue on a grand scale.
That’ s it for now! More from Middle Tennessee next month.
