Walk A By Stables
I he following letter was recently received from our
good friend, Larry Lowman, who has been doing some
“barnstorming” on his own. We appreciate his help very
much.
Dear Bruce:
In the past few weeks I have visited around to a cou­
ple of barns seeing some good colts and aged horses.
My first stop was Charlie Martin’s. Charlie is work­
ing a good aged mare. ROCK-A-BY LADY H. I his
black mare by MIDNIGHT ROCK AWAY was pur­
chased by James Rowland, Fred Jones and Charles Martin
at the Montgomery Show.
Charlie has a good coming two-year-old by SUN’S
DELIGHT and owned by Mr. Bell of Virginia. This colt
is ready to go to the show now. He is a sorrell.
Another is a three-vear-old black mare by FLYING
CLOUD. Her name is GO BOY’S BLACK DIAMOND
and she is owned by Jerry Glauf and Kenneth Jones of
Murfreesboro.
Charlie just recently sold his good sorrel Ebony mare,
EBONY'S DOLLY. Reserve World Champion Futurity
two-vcar-old, to Mr. Billy Hale for Mr. Jack Richards.
My next stop was the David Mason Stables. David is
working about 14 two-year-olds. Some of the good ones
are MR. CHALLENGER, two-vcar-old grey stud, by SIR
WINSTON, owned by Dr. Sarah Womack of Shelbyvillc.
And a two-vear-old black stud. K. F. DANDY MAN,
by MERRY MIDNIGHT SUN. owned by Dr. Marvin
Silvers of Bradenton. Florida. This is a real good colt.
Also a sorn-ll filly, by MIDNIGHT SATAN with the
name SATAN SATIN. This two-year-old is owned by
Jimmy Haynes and David Mason of Murfreesboro. David
is doing a good job with his colts and will be hard to beat
come spring.
My last stop was a new stable here in Murfreesboro,
the Brandon, and Boyd Stable. This stable has only been
in operation about two months and is doing exceptionally
well. It is owned by Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Brandon and
Mr. and Mrs. Billy Boyd, both of Murfreesboro. Billy,
who used to train for Charlie Martin, is working 15 horses
and some mighty good ones.
White I was there Billy worked a good four-year-old
sorrell gelding. SPUR’S SUPREME, an amateur horse
who is owned and will be shown by Angie Sample of Mur­
freesboro.
A four-year-old chestnut stud, SHADOW’S COLONEL,
owned by Mrs. Ann Bland of Murfreesboro, will be Billy’s
top stake horse come spring. Billy has a good three-vear-
old black stud. RHYTHM’S BUD by BLACK RHYTHM.
This colt is owned by Mr. Tommy Bland of Murfreesboro.
Billy also has a real good two-year-old red roan stud,
SHADOW’S TROPHY, who is owned by Donald Bag-
gerly and Sam Lasscter of Murfreesboro. This colt can
really get the job done.
Billy is doing a good job with his horses and I think
he will be recognized come show season.
A note of interest is that Carlton Pitts is now working
GO BOY’S BLACK JACK.
Bridlewood Stables
One. of the newest modern Walking Horse barns in
Alabama is located just north of Birmingham on Highway
31. The stables is owned by Mr. and Mrs. Gene Cham­
bers of Morris, Alabama. Wayne Luna, formerly of
Pulaski and Lewisburg. Tennessee, has leased and is now-
operating out of this barn.
is
The stable is 185 feet long, consists of 24 large stalls,
a tack room, wash room and walker. The hallway is 18
feet wide and there is ample room outdoors. The modern
office has large glass windows in which visitors can sit
and watch horses work inside and out.
Wavne, who has been around and in the Walking Horse
business all of his life, has a well-rounded group of horses
for the 1967 season.
Among the horses Wayne is working is a beautiful aged
bay stallion, MY MR. LUCKY. This animal, owned' by
M. E. Huddleston of Birmingham, Alabama, is coming on
stronger as the show season grows nearer. Another aged
horse high on the prospective stake horse list is
SHADOVV’S TOM CAT, owned by R. L. Sandlin of
Warrior, Alabama. He is a big horse with a big way of
going. A young horse causing much comment by those
who have seen him is the two-year-old stallion, MR.
SOCIETY. This sorrel colt has looks and ability rarely
seen in a young horse. He is owned by Claude Walls of
Havden, Alabama. Hugh Taylor of Childcrsburg, Ala­
bama, also has two two-year-olds showing a lot of promise
in training with Wayne. DAWN’S BLUE ANGEL, a ter­
rific blue roan mareowne d by Tommy Duchock of Ful-
tondale, Alabama, is a little lady who has come on this
year to show true showing ability and should be a winner
in a lot of classes.
In the amateur class will be SWANKY PERFEC­
TION, an aged stallion owned by Mr. and Mrs. Gene
Chambers of Morris, Alabama. Gene Chambers will be
showing SWANKY. This horse has a lick and big way of
going that few stallions can achieve. Another horse that
will be showing some in amateur classes is MACK K
REBEL JOHN, an aged gelding owned by F. L. Eddens
of Birmingham, Alabama. He is a big horse that can go
around the ring in a big way. He will be shown by Mrs.
Gail Chambers. Wayne has several other young and aged
horses in training. This summer, win or lose, you’ll know
horses from Bridlewood Stables have been in the show ring.
Wayne invites everyone to come and see their new
stable and the top stock they are working. The stable is
located in Morris, Alabama, on Highway 31 North.
Jack Warren Stables
The big name around the Jack Warren Stables is
KEENE’S GO BOY. This big stud is very much in de­
mand for breeding purposes and is on his way to a record
year.
But Jack Warren also has his hands full with some
real top show prospects. Jack is working two colts by
KEENE’S GO BOY, a filly and a stud. Roy Callahan of
Charleston. Missouri, is the owner of these colts and Jack
calls them the best two-year-olds he has ever started. Two
other products of Jack’s top stud are a three-year-old black
mare owned by Sam Goodin, of Charleston, Missouri, and
a three-vear-old black stud owned by Raymond Nelson of
Marietta, Georgia.
M. G. Williams of Hopkinsville, Kentucky, has a blue
roan mare in training with Jack that will be shown in open
classes this year. Fie also has two threc-ycar-old mares
and a two-year-old filly working for whom he has high
hopes.
In training with Jack are two of SUN’S NOBLE HAL
offspring. A good three-year-old marc owned by Dr. W.
H. Hill of Atlanta, Georgia, and a top two-year-old filly
owned by Betty Duncan of St. Joseph, Missouri.
Jack also has two other fine studs standing at his stable
this year. SHADOW’S UNTOUCHABLE is owned by
W. C. Armstrong and GO BOY’S SOUTHERN SUN is
