Mid-West Walking Horse Sale
Serves Increased Needs of Horse Enthusiasts
The continued growth and expansion of the Ten-
nesse Walking Horse in other parts of the country will
again be emphasized this year with the second edition
of the Mid West Horse Sale in Kansas City, Mo. Indi­
cations are for an even bigger and better sale than last
year as buyers from all over the United States are ex­
pressing a lot of interst.
This fine sale will feature ovr 100 top Walking
Horses including 40 yearlings and 10 two year olds.
These horses are ready to go under saddle and are sired
by such top studs as TRIPLE THREAT, MIDNIGHT
SUN, and MIDNIGHT SECRET. Pleasure horses and
brood mares will also be available for the buyers on
hand.
This sale will be under the expert guidance of Pete
Yokley, S. W. Beech, and Dr. Ralph Baney. This hard
working crew made last year’s sale a big success and
have even higher hopes for this year’s effort.
Sale officials feel that the market conditions for the
sale are the best in years. The wise buyer who is look­
ing for top stock at good prices should be well satisfied
at this sale. For this reason many buyers from the far
West, North, and Mid West have already expressed in­
terest and are planning to attend the sale.
At last year’s pioneer sale, the interest in Walking
Horses was well in evidnce. Observers in this part of
the country credit the sale with being a big boost to
this interest and feel this year’s effort will be even a
greater help to the breed in the area.
The first horse is scheduled to go through at 9 a.m.
on October 18, the day before Tennessee Walking Horse
classes start at the American Royal Show in Kansas City.
Some of the finest stock of Red Bridge Stables will be
on sale and buyers wil be treated to some fine top bred
horses.
Last year, despite bad weather over 700 enthusiasts
turned out for the show. This certainly argues for the
appeal of the Walking Horse in this section of the
country and this year should be even better. Middle Ten­
nessee and other parts of the U. S. were well represented
in attendance last year and sale officials are very
pleased with the nationwide interest already expressed.
This sale is indeed a good thing for the breed and
as Dr. Baney says, “It’s worth your while to drive a
mile to buy the best.'’
