1966-Voice Of The Tennessee Walking Horse 1966 May Voice RS | Page 70

I would appreciate clarification of a state­
ment that appeared in the last issue of
the VOICE. In the advertisement for Triple
Threat appears a statement that Triple
Threat was the only Walking Horse to ever
win the Horse of the Year award. I take
it that you are referring io the award pre­
sented by ihe A. H. S. A. If this assump­
tion is correct, the above statement is
incorrect. As you can see by the enclosed
photograph, poor as it is, l have a ribbon
and a trophy awarded to the Horse of the
Year in 1964, in this case, Sporty Duke.
I also have in my possession similar rib­
bons and trophies for the years of 1958,
1959, 1960, 1961, and 1962. These were
awarded to Midnight Shining Sun and
Waltzing Matilda. For your information,
the A. H. S. A. gives a Horse of the Year
Award and a trophy each year to each
breed of horse for which they have classes
in their shows.

My wife and son and I had the pleasure
to visit a few of the stables in Tennessee
in January.
The hospitality was great — enjoyed
every minute of it, and would like to make
another appearance at one of the shows.

Becoming interested in the looks, breed­
ing and disposition of’the Walking Horses,
two of my students, KEITH CHURCHILL
and GENE DARNELL, who are seniors at
the high school in Barry, journeyed to
Lewisburg, Tennessee, to the Murray Fall
Sale in hopes of purchasing one colt. We
were so impressed with the horses, en­
vironment, and everything pertaining to
the Walking Horses that we brought back
three two-year-old stallions.
After having the colts five months, we
are more pleased than at the time of the
purchase. They presently are in training
at the Riddle Hill Training Stables, Spring-
field, Illinois, under the fine hands of Bob
Oney.
