very well this year. The other is TEXAS GAL, who
won her class at Walnut Grove. In foal to TRIPLE
THREAT, she will be shown at the Missouri State
Fair and retired after the fair. She has been an out-
standing mare and has won many championships.
Also in training is a three-year-old black stallion,
VOW’S SENSATION by MIDNIGHT VOW, owned
by Henry Klonnsterman of Omaha. Shown several
times this year, he has done well in all his classes.
Another Klonnsterman horse is POOLS SUNLIGHT,
a five-year-old gelding by MIGHTY SUN’S MAN. Al
though he hasn’t shown much, he’s done very well
when he has shown.
High Haven is also starting some coming two-year-
olds by MERRY MIDNIGHT AIRE that show good
promise. We’ll be looking for them!
CARROLL STABLES
A new major Walking Horse training and breeding
operation is taking shape in Fayetteville, Tennessee.
Mr. Marvin Carroll of Huntsville recently announced
plans for construction of a new training stable to be
managed by Mr. Don Bell, well-known Alabama Walk
ing Horse trainer. Mr. Bell recently moved from Boaz,
Alabama, where he has been training for the past
two years for Cooley Stables, to Fayetteville, and is
currently occupying the Oakwood Acres Stables.
Mr. Carroll is in the process of purchasing property
and is working on plans for the new training facility.
Long-range plans call for completion of the stable by
early spring. Horses are already in training with Mr.
Bell and several top yearlings have been promised
as soon as he is able to take them.
It was also noted that, if at all possible, a top stal
lion wjould be obtained for service at Carroll Stables.
More information will be released as progress is made.
WALLACE BRANDON STABLES
Wallace and Laura Lou Brandon are justly proud
of the completion of their new training stables located
in Triune, Tennessee, on the Franklin Highway. The
new stable is situated in a beautiful rolling setting
with hills in the background, and the farm property
is called Hickory Hill Farms. Stable colors are black
and white and the whole facility is as pretty as can
be. The stable is very serviceable, with twenty-four
box stalls, a large indoor riding hall and all the facil
ities necessary for training both gaited and Walking
Horses.
Heading the list of top stock currently in the barn
are MINT JULEP, a top Ladies Amateur mare rid
den by Laura Lou, and MONEYTREE’S SHADOW,
a champion aged gelding being shown by Wallace.
We recently learned that Mr. Brandon had purchased
MY SECRET SUN, a really fine aged gelding, from
Jim Babb, and we should be hearing a lot about this
horse in this part of the country.
In discussing their operation, Mrs. Brandon stated
that they were going to be selective with all their
stock, and planned to take in fewer outside horses
and give the best service possible. More about the
Hickory Hill Farms and the Wallace Brandon Stables
later.

DEATH OF "MR. FASHION TWO-TWENTY”
SAD NOTE AT CELEBRATION
The sudden death of MR. FASHION TWO-TWENTY,
a fine six-year-old stallion owned by Mr. V. G. "Red”
Gochneaur, occurred Tuesday night just before the
Amateur Stallion and Gelding Class. He was in the
work ring in front of the Fashion Two-Twenty stables
when he succumbed to a ruptured aorta and internal
hemorrhaging. Mr. Gochneaur was to show the horse
in the next class.
Originally named OUR MIDNIGHT SUN, MR. FASH
ION TWO-TWENTY was re-named two years ago when
he was purchased by the Fashion Two-Twenty Cos
metic Company. He won the F lorida Circuit the last
two years, and had won this year at Columbus and
Cincinnati, Ohio. The last show he made was the
"Little Celebration” at Kalamazoo, Michigan, where
he won the Stallion and Gelding class.
Mr. Gochneaur purchased SUN’S SOCIETY, a four-
year-old stud, from Mr. R. D. Keene, Orlando, Florida
while at the Celebration. This horse, ridden by Preach
Fleming, placed tenth in the Four-Year-Old Walking
Stallion class on Wednesday night. His name will be
changed to MR. FASHION TWO-TWENTY also.
We offer our sympathy to Mr. Gochneaur for the
loss of his fine stallion, and our congratulations on
the purchase of a good prospect
