CIRCLE R STABLES Ronnie Spears of the Circle R Stables, West Point,
Mississippi, started the season off in the right way. He won the Stallion & Gelding Class and the Championship stake at Winter Haven and Tampa Florida with GO BOY’ S FLYING CLOUD for J. P. Eldndge,
Oviedo, Florida. We talked with him at Tampa and took some notes while watching a class of Walking Horses, so we may have missed some of the information. He has 36 horses in training with about 10 twoyear-olds. Ronnie has a SUN’ S DELIGHT black stallion for Kenneth Robinson, a full brother to SILVER SHADOW’ for Will C, Terry, a top GUNSMOKE bay stallion for Paul Thompson, Raleigh, Miss., and a
black filly for J. WT. Peeler, Oxford, Miss. In the three-vear-oid classes, Ronnie has FLYING CLOUD’ S GO BOY for Mr. Eldridge; a SUN’ S DE LIGHT horse for Kenneth Robinson; a mare for Cliff Lirette, Thibodaux. Louisiana; and a real good mare for C. N. Howell, Little Rock, Arkansas. He showed an age mare for Cliff and tied second in the mare class at W’ inter Haven, and Linda DeShazo won the Ladies Class and tied second in the Amateur stake at Tampa. Her name is MACK K’ S SUZETTE( alias LADY LUCK).
Ronnie won the Novice Class at Tampa with a SUN- DUST gelding for Pete Robinson that shows great potential.
Ronnie is one of our young W’ alking Horse trainers that is really on the move. Be sure to watch for him and his good string of horses this season.
DONALD PASCHAL STABLES
10
Over in Woodbury, Tennessee, Donald Paschal and his assistant Carlton Pitts have a fine string of horses that are ready for the " gate to open.” They have been working hard all winter and it really shows up on their stock. Donald has several headliners that are destined to make a mark on the records this year The big talk at the present is the amazing comebark of GO BOY’ S CHATTERBOX. This age stallion was purchased from Vic Thompson by Dr. C. L. Sexton of Florence, South Carolina, shortly after the Celebration last year. Donald worked him for us and we were truly pleased with his performance. He was working free and easy, with a small pair of boots, and he is clean as a whistle. Don’ t take our word for this next statement... go see for yourself! CHATTERBOX has grown at least two or three inches since last vear and has put on over a hundred pounds. He doesn’ t look like the same horse that we saw tie fourth at the Celebration. Whatever class he is shown in this year... he will be a strong contender. ' Ji“
GO BOY’ S ROYAL HEIR is still working to perfection after his World Championship Amateur last year. Candace Williams, who rode him last tory is looking forward to another season of showim / 651’ eral of their fine horses out of the Paschal Qf! kS, ev

Donald is also well pleased with EBONY’ S OLD CROW, the 1966 World Champion Two-Year-Old. He has grown and filled out considerably since last year and is doing very well. Don’ t be at all surprised if he comes on a lot stronger than expected. He is much improved as a Junior horse, and owners Billy Hale and Hugh Gillen will be proud of him this year.
Another horse that is getting a lot of attention is a three-year-old chestnut mare named DELIGHTFUL DREAM. She is owned by Ed Hunter of Goodlettsville, Tennessee. They are looking for some top performances by her this year. Dr. C. C. Chitwood of LaFayette, Tennessee also has a top EBONY colt that is doing well. They are working thirty-six horses in the barn, including fourteen two-year-olds. Watch for the Donald Paschal Stables again this year. They are ready!
WALK-A-BY STABLES
Larry Lowman, a college student at M. T. S. U., is working horses again this year and he has a partner named Steve Aymett. Together they manage to work six horses including WALK-A-BY GO BOY, a fine pony that Larry showed last year. They are pleased with the progress of ROYAL HEIR’ S CRACKERBOX( that’ s right!), a top colt by GO BOY’ S ROYAL HEIR that is owned by W. T. Vaughn of Nashville. Larry claims he will teach him to canter and show him in pony classes this year. SUN’ S REPEAT, a five-yearold sorrel stallion, will also be shown by this " dynamic duo” this year. He is owned by T. H. McCullom, Albany, Georgia.
They also have a horse named MIDNIGHT SUN SECOND, a bay three-year-old owned by Lowman
and Crockett, that is doing well. Jack Smith of Macon, Georgia also has a fine sorrel pony in training with
Larry and Steve. Watch for these two young fellows: they are going to make a mark in the Walking Horse business one of these days.
