GEORGE WITT STABLES
News from Athens, Alabama indicated that trainer
George Witt has his hands full with twenty-two horses
in training. George has been busy selling horses as
well as training. Notable in recent sales was LUCKY’S
MERRY BOY, a four-year-old bay pony that will be
shown by Pam Clippinger of Chattanooga, Tennessee.
This fine pony will be in training with Jim Babb, Fort
Oglethorpe, Georgia. George has sold six other top
horses including SHADOW’S CAVALIER, a six-year-
old amateur gelding that is now owned by B. M. In­
gram and is in training with Jack Littrell. Florence,
Alabama. He is also proud of the sale of INVASION’S
INVADER, a three-year-old brown stallion by GO
BOY’S INVASION that many people consider one of
the potentially great horses in his class. He has been
shown as MIDNIGHT INVADER. Price is always an
interesting factor and when George is asked the go­
ing price of these horses he just smiles and says,
"Just say they brought top dollar." We don’t know
exactly what that indicates, but George is planning
on building a new barn soon.
We understand that George has some fine two-year-
old stock as well as a balanced line-up of show stock
for almost every class. You can believe that, when
the gate opens in the spring, George Witt will be
ready as usual.
JOHN T. CARTER
The Robinwood Farms of John T. Carter is creating
quite a stir in Kingsport, Tennessee, with several out­
standing horses in the making. John T. is particularly
pleased with the progress of a horse named SUN’S
CHAPARRAL, a four-year-old stallion that has all
the marks to pick up where WARLOCK left off. Not
much is known about this horse at the present except
that the fact that he is "something else.” More about
him later!
John T. also gave us the news that Roy "Red”
Croft of Johnson City, Tennessee, has recently come
to work for him as assistant trainer. "Red” takes the
