to hit the ring when the proverbial “gate opens.”

named HANDSHAKER’S IMAGE. This twelve year old
rider and his struttin’ steed are aimed at being one of
the best teams in Juvenile classes this year.

are doing well and are looking forward to showing. Good
luck to both of these fine young riders.
Besides the Juvenile horses, Wallace Dunn has about
seven two year olds in training this year, five of which are
by his big bay stud, SHADOW’S SUPERIOR, who is
really proving himself as a sire with some fine looking,
walking colts.
SHADOW’S WARWICK KING, a two year old
black stud, owned by Mr. and Mrs. Ivan Coxan and
Wallace Dunn, is a top contender in the two year old
classes. Wallace also has another two vear old black stud
by SHADOW’S SUPERIOR called SHADOW’S MR.
SOCIETY, who shows a lot of promise in making a show
horse. SHADOW’S REFLECTION, also by SUPERIOR,
is a real loose, late filly colt ready to train. She is really
a flashv black colt with both hind stockings and a blaze.
SUPERIOR’S LITTLE MAN is a two vear old sorrel
colt out of a MIDNIGHT SUN mare and is owned by
Wallace Dunn.
GINGER KELLY ANN is a coming two blue roan
filly by SUN’S MASTERPIECE out of GINGER MAE
GIOVANNI, (dam of KING COTTON, a former Junior
Champ) and she will be up for sale. He also has a yearling
black stud colt by MACK K’S HANDSHAKER that is
a half-brother to that filly mentioned above.
SKID ROW JOE is a fascinating three year old red
roan with a flax mane and tail and four stockings, by
KEENE’S GO BOY. ED’S MERRY BOY is a two year
old black roan bv MERRY BOY’S KNOCKOUT out of
a MERRY BOY mare. MINGO’S LUCKY LAD is a
four year old sorrel gelding of linebred WILSON ALLEN
stock and is owned by Dunn. He has several other fine
young colts and broodmares for sale.
This is the stable from whence came: SHADOW’S
KING COTTON, EL CID, THE FALCON D. SHAD
OW’S GTO, and ATOMIC SUN.
Good luck to all you pony riders—cause you’re gonna
need it. El Cid is better than ever before and coming on
strong—watch him!
