HERITAGE STABLES
H. Monroe Evans, Jr. is pleased to announce that the permanent training and breeding facilities of his Heritage Stable in San Antonio, Texas are near completion. This project has been well organised from the start and attention has been given to every detail. The selection of a beautiful wooded area for this
stable has proven to be quite an attraction. The barn is built of cedar with white trimmings. Included in the
facilities will be rings of various shapes and sizes designed to increase a horse’ s versatility and cornering
at faster speeds. Work areas, tailor-made to the trainer’ s needs, have been provided. The equestrian and
equestrienne find that their comfort has not been neglected: lounges and patios make their life easier, too. The horses now in training at the temporary training area will be transferred to the permanent barn shortly. We are pleased to report that we are receiving letters and long-distance inquiries daily. San Antonio has provided the stable with a warm welcome and horsemen’ s enthusiasm has been mounting. Capacity will be kept at a minimum to serve each horse with maximum attention. Several buyers have been traveling throughout the country to buy some of the best young stock available.
According to the Tennessee Walking Horse Breeders’ Association, there were on January 1, 1968 7,500 registered Tennessee Walking Horses and 2,500 members of the Association living in Texas alone. It is Mr. Evans’ intention to provide these people with a facility to enjoy their horses and others. We have an optimistic appraisal of the future of Walking Horses in this part of the country. We hope that our promotion of the breed will open an understanding to a wider public.
JIMMY WADDELL STABLES This stable in Brownsville, Tennessee is really humming these days with nineteen horses to work, and brood mares and their colts to tend. Jimmy took a few minutes to tell us about some of the horses he s readying for the shows this year, and it sounds like he’ s after the blues all the way.
In the twoyear-old classes he will be showing a red roan CARBON COPY filly, COPY’ S DANCER, owned by Jim Nelms of Nashville. She ' s a half-sister to the very good SHADOW’ S DANCER, and Jimmy is expecting great things of her. He is also working a RODGERS PERFECTION colt for Dr. John Die^oi Houston, Mississippi. This chestnut colt, out ol a OU BOY’ S SHADOW mare, has lots of ability. Iwo bUA s DELIGHT two-year-olds are attracting attention: a black stud colt, DELIGHT ' S ROMEO, owned by Jack Johnson of Brownsville, tied first at the Humboldt Strawberry Festival and third at Columbia, chestnut filly, LADY DELIGHT, owned by Brooksie Sanderson of Jackson, tied first in hei c as?
Jimmy is working the good three-year-old mare.
June, 1968
; BON \ S MARCH WIND, for S. W. Beech. This chestnut beauty took her class at the Futurity in 1967 and won the three-year-old mare class at the Columbia bpring Jubiiee. she’ s by EBONY MASTERPIECE out of a MERRY GO BOY mare. For Dr. R. E. Baney of Kansas City, Missouri, Jimmy is showing the black three-year-old stud, SHADOW’ S GO BOY. He also brought home a blue from the Humboldt Strawberry Festival. PERFECTION’ S BLAZE, a bay roan ROD GERS PERFECTION mare, is for sale— she’ s broke and gentle, and Jimmy says she would make somebody a mighty nice Amateur mare.
Carl Jones of Jackson has SHADOW’ S BLUE AN GEL, an age mare, in training with Jimmy. She was tied to the blue at Henderson, Tennessee, and Jimmy plans to show her " all over” this year. Another age mare at the Waddell Stables is the famous LADY GODIVA, who continues to take the blues for ownerrider Mrs. Frank Parnell of Newbern, Tennessee. So far this year this pair has taken firsts at Henderson( Open Amateur) and Columbia( Amateur Mare), and placed second at Lewisburg. Frank Parnell is showing his black age stud, DARK MAGIC, and they plan to
go for a lot of blues this season.
SPUR’ S SUMMER JET, a half-brother to SPUR’ S SUMMER DREAM, is Chester C. Coon’ s age stud that Jimmy keeps in top shape for the shows. He’ s a sorrel by SUN’ S JET PARADE, and Jimmy says he’ s looking good. Two-year-olds pass the magic date of January 1 and must learn to canter— Sherrill Marks passed her magic date and now she’ s not a juvenile any more. She will be showing her age gelding, GO BOY’ S JET, in Ladies Amateur classes from now on. JET, faithful to the name, is black, and will undoubtedly do as well in the Amateur ranks as he did in the Juveniles.
In addition to the horses he’ s working, Jimmy is looking after eight brood mares, five with colts on the ground. He has colts by SUN’ S BLACK LABEL, MIDNIGHT SECRET and MERRY GO BOY, and is looking forward to starting some good stock this fall.
If you’ re around Brownsville, go by and see Jimmy Waddell. If you can get him down off whichever horse he’ s working at the moment, he can show you some top stock. If he won’ t come down, just watch for him at the shows— he’ ll be there with his usual line of top contenders!
MACK MOTES STABLES
Mack Motes is busy this time of year working some top stock in his new stables in Shelbyville. It’ s easy to find on the Nashville Highway, just a few miles down the road from Vic Thompson’ s Stables. Everyone always asks to see SUPER SPORT, the black stallion owned by Emmy Downes. He is a top contender for Junior honors this year.
SUPER SPORT is just one of the many top horses in this training barn. To mention a few, Mack is working GO BOY’ S REVENUE for Floyd Purcell of Orlando, Florida. He showed him in the Stallion and Gelding Class in Etowah, Tennessee just a week after Floyd brought him up from Florida and won over some top stock. Mack is also working a blue roan by REV ENUE for Floyd.
In two-year-old classes, Mack has real high hopes for SHADOW’ S ROYAL FLUSH, owned by Bob Lowe, Cookeville, Burton Orrell of Shelbyville, and Mack. Another one is a bay by SCATMAN for Burton Orrell. He has a real good black GO BOY filly that he’ s working for S. W. Beech.
In the three-year-old category Mack has DANCER’ S RISING SUN for Charles Taft. This horse placed
