“ Hello” everybody. I hope all of you are doing well in the shows and everyone is winning the blues.
One of my“ Horsein’ Around” trips I stopped to see my friend Sam Paschal. He is working a lot of good horses. One is his three-year-old mare named EBONY’ S DOLLY who is undefeated this year. This good mare is owned by Jimmie Vaughn, Franklin, Kentucky. Sam has a great five-year-old stallion of SETTING SUN named SETTING SUN’ S SENSATION and a five-year-old stallion MOONLIGHT’ S SENSATION that really has a lot of motion.

MODern Bath for BIG BOY
The Beatles started the long-hair fad, James Bond started the spy fad, in fact you may be able to think of thousands who in some way have been involved in sweeping the nation with some sort of fad. But when you are counting those thousands and begin to run out of names, add Melvin( Andy) Waugh of Hiddenite, North Carolina.
Andy may be the originator of a new fad among Walking Horse people. He has put to use the currently popular coin-operated car wash to bathe his stallion BIG BOY. Andy simply slips a quarter into the slot and showers BIG BOY with a jet of water. The whole procedure takes only a few minutes and the results offer a pleasant surprise.
BIG BOY, a grandson of MIDNIGHT SUN, seems to enjoy his unique hosing-down as he stands quietly until he is completely clean and ready for any show. The horse’ s placid disposition may stem from the fact that he is used to being around children and is very gentle, even to the point of stopping when he feels a young rider losing his balance.
Washing your walking horse in a coin-operated car wash may not sweep the nation as a fad, but you must admit it has its possibilities!
