by Fickling & Talbot his name again hit the spotlight when one of his colts won the 1966 World ’ s Grand Championship . SHAKER ’ S SHOCKER , with Betty Sain in the saddle , upset the horse world with a surprising victory to attract even more acclaim for his illustrious sire . SHAKER ’ S SHOCKER is only one of many of HANDSHAKER ’ S colts making fine showings in the ring today .
The story of MACK K ’ S HANDSHAKER , as we have already stated , is suitable material for a great novel . The big problem is that , as yet , there is no ending for the book . The popularity ’ of this great black stallion is definitely on the rise , undoubtedly due in part to the number of his colts who were tied in the 1967 Celebration . In and around the tri-state area of Alabama , Georgia and Tennessee , this is one stud that is in great demand . His bookings at Fickling ’ s Rivoli Farms in Macon are well above expectations , and he already has so much demand for his services in Middle Tennessee that he will be moved to Wolaver Stables in Cornersville in March , and will remain there until after the Celebration .
Further depth is added to our article as we check the pedigree of our subject . According to the most astute experts of equine development , the best methods of assuring the future of a breed is to practice either planned in-breeding or cross-breeding . MACK K ’ S HANDSHAKER represents a perfect example of planned cross-breeding in the Walking Horse business . He is by MIDNIGHT MACK K , a fine stallion carrying both MIDNIGHT SUN and MERRY BOY blood , which carries back to great foundation stock in ROAN ALLEN F-38 , HUNTER ’ S ALLEN F-10 and MERRY LEGS F-4 . On the dam side we fmd a perfect opportunity to cross-breed the above established lines with LAST CHANCE blood . His dam , DEEP PURPLE , has further depth on both sides , which provided a lot of the natural ability of MACK K ’ S HANDSHAKER .
For further information regarding MACK K ’ S HAND SHAKER , call Mr . Arthur Childree , Manager , Ficktiog ’ s Rivoli Farms , Macon , Georgia . After March 1st contact Mr . Douglas Wolaver , Wolaver Stables , Cornersville , Tennessee .

As a Contributing Editor for the VOICE in Missouri , I would first like to tell each of you how pleased I am to write this first column from Missouri . Also , I would like to invite all you Missourians to send me your news so that we can share it with our friends in the other states .
I would also like to express my gratitude to the VOICE . I hope everyone will back our magazine , for the VOICE is truly the magazine of the Tennessee Walking Horse people . We should be proud of the fact that it has outsold all other horse magazines and should back it all the way since it is doing such a fine job in promoting the breed of horse we love .
