In the Juvenile classes next year, Pam Havvkersmith will have a five-year-old white mare that Junior showed as a two- and three-year-old. He won seven classes in Middle Tennessee shows with this mare. Another juvenile mount is a mare, WINSTON’ S GAY LADY, that will be shown by Diane Green. In the pony class, Sally King will be showing GO BOY’ S COMMANDER, and Mr. J. B. Welch of Tullahoma and his MIDNIGHT BOMB will be making the show circuit from Royal
Oaks Stables.
These are just a few of the horses working out of this fine stable- and remember to stop and see the mare, EBONY’ S MIDNIGHT DREAM.
CHARLES BOBO & SON STABLES
In the December issue of the VOICE on page 43 there is an article on the Washington International Horse Show with a note about Charlie Bobo that I believe is worth repeating here. Mr. Brooks-Ward and Mr. Douglas Bunn, a jumper judge from England, became very interested in Walking Horses. They had several conversations with Mr. Charlie Bobo, who judged the Walking Horse classes, and Charlie has been talking with the Tennessee Walking Horse Breeders’ Association in regard to doing something about getting some Walking Horses in England. If anything develops from Bobo’ s efforts, this will be big news to report at a later date.
The new Charles Bobo & Son Stable is located on the Unionville Highway just out of Shelbyville, Tennessee. As of this month, Bobo has about 45 horses in training and is doing extensive work to make this a show farm. He recently purchased Mr. Clarence Clement’ s show stock, including ALVIN and HAP’ S SEN SATION, so that, even with a new stable, he has plenty of stock for sale at this time.
As per usual Charlie is working some top stock: TUFF STUFF for G. L. L.; PRETTY WOMAN for Dr. Renfroe; a coming two-year-old CARBON COPY colt for Mr. Buster Brown of Liberty, Ky. and Mr. George Pittman of Memphis; HILL’ S PERFECTION that Kim Lovette has shown so successfully for the past two years; and MIKE’ S MIGHTY MAN, the World’ s Champion Pony for Reed & Gallagher that Bobo plans to show in stake classes this year. This is just a sample of the many horses that you can see being worked at this stable if you stop by. They have two walkers, because, as Bobo says, " as many horses as I work a day, I need both walkers going nearly all the time to keep things moving.” Best of luck to Charles Bobo and his son on their new operation.
BUDDY HUGH STABLES
Buddy Hugh is busy as always this winter, breaking two-year-olds for the show ring this spring. Just to mention a few, he has a colt by HANDSHAKER out of a SHADOW’ S KING COTTON dam for Berdie Raab of Redmon, Washington; a CARBON COPY filly for gusan Sheely^n olv. and a bay colt QUARTERBACK by SUN’ S QUARTER’ S KEy back i ° r ™

MARTIN STABLES
Top news at the stables of Judy and Joe Martin are the horses by SHADOW’ S REFLECTION. REFLEC TION’ S SHADOW, owned by Payne, Martin & Wiser, was the two-year-old that won the Baton Rouge Stake last fall. He will be showing in three-year-old classes this season. In the Junior classes will be REFLEC TION’ S UNFORGETTABLE for Bleckler, Wiser & Wiser. As was proven in the shows last year, these are both top horses. There are not too many of these REFLECTION horses around, because he did not stand for public service until Judy and Joe bought him, but if you are interested in finding one, they know where there are several tremendous prospects.
They have a barn full of top competitors for the coming season. Just to mention a few: a great fouryear-old mare by SUN’ S BIG SHOT for John Mayher of Columbus, Georgia; for Dr. Harold Mclver of Jackson, Tennessee, a four-year-old black roan by STATE LY GO BOY; two horses for Mr. Neil Kavanaugh, one being a four-year-old by SHADOW’ S REFLECTION; and an aged stallion that tied second in Baton Rouge, SETTING SUN’ S DELIGHT for Mr. and Mrs. Clark Raines, Tullahoma, Tennessee. This is the SETTING SUN horse that Sam Paschal showed successfully for the past several years, and he’ s one of their top contenders.
