People in the Alabama area are urged to drop by and see this new barn. We should be hearing more about this new operation in the future.
DOUBLE Q STABLES
South Carolina has a state full of fine Tennessee Walking Horses, and some of the best in the area can be found at the Double Q Stables in Greenville.
The operation is owned by Johnny Quinn and the head trainer and manager is Dick Waldrop. Dick is working about twenty head of horses and enjoys every minute of it. His right-hand man is Bob Quinn.
Headlining the stable is GO BOY’ S FANCY PANTS, recently purchased from Circle R Stables, West Point, Miss. This big chestnut stallion goes on Tuesday morning like he goes on Saturday night, with a big bold motion and a head-shaking lick.
RAMBLIN ROSE, a black four-year-old mare, was also purchased from the Circle R for Mr. Quinn’ s daughter Diane to ride. Even with the short time she has been at Double Q it is plain to see that she is the pick of the barn, at least where Mrs. Quinn and Diane are concerned.
Dick took this mare away from Diane and has been showing her in Junior Walking Horse classes. Would you believe they are undefeated? That’ s right, but wait ' til spring- Diane will be riding her in Juvenile classes. Another top contender from Double Q is OUR SHA DOW, a big chestnut stallion. Mr. Quinn recently purchased this horse to ride himself. His son Bob has
