BREEDING HENGEN-LENOX SfSLES
CARBON COPY COLT SALE GETS NEW HOME
As the Celebration approaches, a lot of interest is focused on the various sales that are held during the- day period which ends September 7. The newest major-ale will feature two big changes; namely, a change of ownership and a new sales pavilion. The CARBON COPY Colt Sale is now the joint venture of Mr. E. Carl Hengen of Gainesville, Virginia and Mr. George L. Lenox of Collierville, Tennessee. These two Walking Horse enthusiasts formed a company early this year that involves their breeding program as well as a sales program. The GLL Farms of Collierville now boasts two World ' s Grand Champions at stud- B. MAJOR WILSON, the 1961 Grand Champion; and CARBON COPY, the 1965 Grand Champion. The new sales pavilion is being completed on the Hengen-Lenox Farm, on the Levvisburg Highway just west of Shelbyville, where the first sale of CARBON COPY colts was held last year. The farm has over
160 acres and provides an excellent opportunity for a major sales operation. The new pavilion has thirtysix box stalls for the horses going through the sale and the whole facility is completely under one roof. The hall is approximately thirty feet wide and one hundred fifty feet long, with permanent bleacher-type seats going the whole length of the pavilion. A large auctioneer’ s stand is in the middle on the west side and all arrangements have been made to make handling of papers and pedigrees as easy as possible. An excellent sound system has been installed to facilitate all-round listening without too much volume in some areas. Auctioneer Eddie Bryant and his staff of experienced ringmen will be on hand as the sale gets underway at 10:00 AM Saturday, September 7, to keep things moving. If the sale tops last year’ s average of S2,000 per horse, they will have done a good day’ s work. There will be twenty-two select CARBON COPY colts to go through the sale plus several show horses and some top brood mares. All indications are that interest is high and a lot of people are coming from far and near to be a part of this sale. It should be a good one!
CEDARTOWN SHOW OPENED WITH THOUGHT-PROVOKING INVOCATION
At the 1968 Cedartown, Georgia Optimist Club
Horse Show, the following invocation was delivered by Mr. Jim Winn. It was so appropriate that we wanted
to share it with you. " Our Father, thank you for the sheer fun, the exhilirating excitement of the moment, sparked by this
tremendous event so true to the traditions of our land, America. The beauty and grace of the animals honor
The Creative Hand that shaped them; the ability and
showmanship of the riders symbolize our desire to achieve that perfection that is in Thee; the skill and
patience of the trainers remind us of Thy untiring willingness to work with us toward attaining the goals of life which Thou hast set; and the competence of the Judges points us to the fact that we are living under
Thy unerring judgements in the daily competition of life.
■ ' Bless, we pray Thee, the Cedartown Optimist Club and everyone who has shared in making this event a reality in our community; and help us all to make the most of this moment, and every moment of life, that we might be prepared to accept the prize of the high calling which is in Christ Jesus. Amen.”
