Lebanon Horse Show Attracts Top Horses ; Sensational Shadow Wins Stake
The word for many years , the last twenty-one to be exact , has been that “ the horses that win at Lebanon are hard to beat at the Celebration .” This year appears to be no exception as a host of top horses were introduced at this annual event . Sponsored by the American Legion , this show is well managed and drew a record crowd . The ring had been cut this year and was in excellent shape for the many big-time , horses that were exhibited .
Starting the show in fine form was the Two-Year- Old Stallion Class . There were two pre-show favorites that came on strong for their supporters . Carlton Pitts on GO BOY ’ S BLACK ROOSTER , a full brother to BLACK JACK , and Bob Cherry- on TIGER BAY , a top young colt by STATELY GO BOY . made a show of it to tie one-two in a great class . Charlie Bobo was third on TUFF STUFF for G . L . L . Farms .
In the juvenile class Muriel Ann Brinkley from Shelby ville took top honors on THE NEW LOOK . The second place ribbon went to SLTN DUST GAL and Camille Whittle of Etowah , Tennessee , while tying third was Candace Williams on GO BOY ’ S EBONY ANGEL . These three young riders are well-known throughout the Walking Horse world for their ability in the saddle . We can look for them to be battling all year long for the top honors at shows all over the Southeast .
In the amateur class , Tony Huber from Moultrie , Georgia , did a superb job riding GO BOY ’ S CRYSTAL to win the blue ribbon . Shadowing the winner all the way was SPUR ’ S SUPREME and Mrs . Hugh Sample of Murfreesboro . The number three horse in this very competitive class was HANDSHAKER ’ S REBEL with Helen Jones of Fayetteville doing the chores .
The Two-Year-Old Walking Mare Class had some top entries with the winner being SASSY SATIN with
Dixie Weaver from Tuscaloosa , Alabama , in the saddle . The red ribbon winner was HANDSHAKER ’ S LADY KIM with popular Doug Wolaver doing the riding . J . T . Leech did a fine job in tying third on EBONY SECRE­ TARY in this class full of future hopefuls . Many of the horses in this class have the potential to develop into top horses . Their show careers have just begun and with patient and dedicated training they will achieve their measure of success .
The Three-Year-Old Mare Class had some top entries and the old veteran Sam Paschal took the blue on
EBONY ’ S DOLLY . Sam is real pleased with the work of this horse and you can look for him to go a long way with her . Tying reserve in this closely contested class was EL­ DORADO ’ S BLACK LABEL and Steve Hill . Buddy Moore of the Cashion Farms guided GO BOYS ANGEL
WINGS to the third spot with some fine exhibiting . The crowd was highly appreciative of this exciting class as some of the top trainers in the country competed for the honors .
In the pony class , Martha Bobo served warning on the top ponies around that she is a real threat for show ring honors this year . This talented exhibitor rode MIKE ’ S MIGHTY MAN to the blue ribbon over some stiff competition . The reserve winner in this crowd-pleasing class was Kenny Hale on GO BOY ’ S INK SPOT . The third place horse was LADIES MAN with Bobby Simpson in the irons . This promising young rider is from Bowling Green , Kentucky .

The Walking Mare , Four-Years-Old and Over Class was won by the World Grand Champion Three-Year Old Mare of the 1966 Celebration . GO BOY ’ S DARK LADY and Horace Young looked as good as ever in capturing the top spot in this class . Donald Paschal took GO BOY ’ S BLACK LABEL to the reserve spot behind the World Champion . Paul Smith captured the third ribbon on SUN ’ S ANGEL .
Another World Champion showed his wares in the Three-Year-Old Stallion and Gelding Class as Donald Paschal guided EBONY ’ S OLD CROW to the blue ribbon . This fine champion of last year has improved and is looking for ever greater honors this year . Tying reserve in this class was Buddy Kirby on SUN ’ S GO BOY G . Popular RISING SUN with Charlie Bobo up tied third in this class that had the crowd really cheering .
The stake class was well worth waiting for as Wink Groover really showed everyone something on SENSA­ TIONAL SHADOW . This beautiful stud is causing a lot of excitement . Since winning the three-year-old championship at Montgomery , Wink has really been exciting the crowds . Sam Paschal on SETTING SUN ’ S SENSATION was in the battle for top spot all the way with a superb performance in all three gaits . Doug Wolaver stayed right there with the top two on HAND­ SHAKER ’ S COPY . As you can easily see , this class had some of the top stock and trainers in the South . All of the horses here will be heard from in the future .
Joe Vann Clayton did a fine job in judging this show which saw many top entries competing in class after class . The management of the show did a creditable job in running the show with a few trouble spots .
