Fairway Walking Horse Stables
Vcrd Walker recently sent us a note regaiding his
activity and we learned that he has horses with seveia trainers as well as some fine mares at home in Concoi.. California. He commented that Joe Webb showed ns MARK OF PERFECTION at Shreveport. La. and tied reserve in a fine class. He also has PERFECTION S G
LAD at the Joe Webb Stables.
On the west coast. Verd’ s horses arc in training with J. D. Landers in Sacramento. Speaking of Sacramento, he remarked that our results of the May 14th show in the capital city stated that a horse named WALKER S PER FECTION was tied third in the Pleasure Class. This was NOT his fine stallion as he was not shown there. More on the Fairway Stables later.
Tom Haley Stables
A relatively unknown trainer named Tom Haley is shaking up a lot of people lately with a colt named DELIGHT’ S MIGHTY MAN. Tom is an amateur but he shows this fancy dark roan like a pro. This colt sold at Harlinsdale for $ 650.00, and Tom purchased him and took him to Goodlettsville, where he broke and started him in the late fall. So far this year he has done well including tying reserve at the P. T. A. Show in Shelbyville. DELIGHT’ S MIGHTY MAN is owned jointly by Tom Halcv and Charlie Williamson of Brentwood. He is by SUN’ S DELIGHT and is out of LADY GALE. Fine breeding to say the least.
Charles Martin Stables
Charles Martin Stables in Murfreesboro is in full swing these days. Charlie’ s busy working horses and Angie
is handling the office affairs, so as usual they have a good team going. The big news at their stables is the fouryear-old mare owned by James Rowland, Fred Jones and Charles Martin, all of Murfreesboro. Her name ROCK- A-BY-LADY and when she enters the ring all the horsemen sit up and take notice. She’ s“ that” kind of mare and to prove this statement, she has been shown three times to the blue. The shows were Manchester, Columbia Spring Jubilee and The Tennessee State Show in Nashville.
Some of the other stock that Charles Martin has ready to show are: a three-year-old red bay stallion owned by William Pointer of Townsend, Tennessee; a two-year-old stallion by EBONY MASTERPIECE owned by one of their regular customers, Mr. H. G. French, Barnhill, Illinois; a SUN’ S DELIGHT two-year-old colt by the name, THE DELIGHT for Mr. H. B. Bell, Huntington, West Virginia; and a two-year-old SUN’ S DELIGHT stallion for Mr. Harlin Hayes of Franklin. Another good one is a four-year-old bay stallion owned by Mr. E. H. McFarlin and Fred Jones of Murfreesboro.
Young Larry Martin can be seen in shows this year on a five-year-old black mare pony for Mrs. Lee Sims
Rockton, Illinois. He has been winning first and second place ribbons all season on ECHO’ S LITTLE MAN a Walking Pony owned by himself and his brother Danny Martin. y
An item of interest from Martin Stable^ is EBONY’ S LUCKY LINDA. This filly is the first that the well, known BELOVED BELINDA foaled two years ago She’ s owned by Gene Wild, Sarcoxie, Missouri,' also the owner of BELINDA. This is the little filly that stood outside the Celebration ring two years ago when Charles showed

Sharon is currently working a three-year-old sorrel SUN DUST mare, and will show her soon. She is a top mare She is also working a chestnut two-year-old stud by EBONY MASTEPIECE that shows great promise as well as her roan aged mare by MERRY GO BOYthe gelding STORM WARNING; and the two black studs. All this plus summer school keeps her busy.
SHADOW’ S REPLICA won the stud and gelding class at Blue Mountain, Miss. We have not shown him much because of a heavy breeding piogiam. His colts are beautiful, with excellent conformation. Lo McDaniels, Millington, Tenn., has a yearling colt by REPLICA that he says is the BEST colt he has ever had— and he breeds to all the top studs. He is sending us eight mares to breed. He has bred top colts for years, so we are very proud.
Sharon showed PAINTED BLACK, her yearling stud colt by SHADOW’ S REPLICA, and won a large colt class at the Okolona, Miss, show recently. He is one of the nicest colts I’ ve ever seen.
