BITS AND SPURS By Sharon Terry
Robinwood Stables of D’ Lo, Mississippi, has had a very good year. Trainer Howard " Dude” Prestwood
has done an outstanding job with his string of horses.
Dude is working five two-year-olds, including LIT TLE JOE’ S MIGHTY MAN, a black colt who won the blue at Franklinton his first time out for owners Mr. and Mrs. Cato Mayfield of Taylorsville, Miss. Dude is riding GOLDEN GIRL, a two-year-old showing a lot of promise, for Mr. and Mrs. Kerch May of Pearl,
Miss. MERRY BOY’ S SUNSHINE, owned by Mr. and Mrs. Jimmy Smith of Mendenhall, is another goodlooking colt that has not been shown. Dude is working two more two-year-olds that he has only been riding about a month.
Dude is well supplied with three-year-old horses. COALSMOKE, a loose black stud with a big lick, is owned by Mr. John McCormick of Jackson and Robinwood Stables. GO BOY’ S HOT CHOCOLATE, owned by Miss Nita Harmon of Jackson, was a late colt and was not shown as a two-year-old, but should make a good horse. STAN THE MAN ALLEN O is a junior stallion owned by Owen Robinson of Jackson. This horse has won his share of blues since a two-year-old and he continues to improve.
Dude has three aged horses that are always ready for anyone’ s competition. PERFECTION’ S COMMAN DER is a big black stud owned by Mr. and Mrs. Floyd Williamson, Centreville, Miss. COMMANDER is a consistent show horse and he exhibits many of the traits of his famous sire. MERRY BOY’ S FLAME is a horse that was outstanding as a young horse and then was not shown as a four- and five-year-old. Dude says he is coming back strong for owners Mr. and Mrs. Jimmy Smith, Mendenhall. LIMOUSINE’ S GO BOY, owned by Mr. and Mrs. Prestwood, is Dude’ s pride and joy. With the young horses requiring so much time, Dude has not had as much time for his horse as he would have likes, but he is getting better and better all the time and has won his share of blues.
News from Mr. E. L. Burgess of Sherrill, Arkansas says that his four-year-old black stallion, PERFEC TION ' S HUMOR ESQUE, is working better than ever for trainer E. L. O’ Callaghan. HUMOR ESQUE is a natural Walking Horse with a big lick that everyone likes.
