This centrally-located stable is a hub for Walking
Horse activities from the Mississippi River to the
Carolinas and from Kentucky to Florida. Bob has
been pleased with the initial response and looks for­
ward to a great season for these two top breeding
stallions.
The fee for both horses is $ 150.00 and the stabling
and pasture facilities are more than adequate. The
stable is located at the Joe Engel Farm.
HENGEN & LENOX ESTABLISH SHELBYVILLE
BREEDING AND SALES ORGANIZATION
B. MAJOR WILSON Moves to GLL Farms
to Stand at Stud
In a recent news release to the VOICE, Mr. George
Lee Lenox, owner of GLL Farms, Collierville, Tennes­
see, announced that he and Mr. Carl Hengen, owner
of Lawnvale Farms, Gainesville, Virginia, have joined
together to form a breeding and sales organization in
Shelbyville, Tennessee. He also announced that B.
MAJOR WILSON, the popular 1961 World’s Grand
Champion Tennessee Walking Horse, would become a
stable mate of CARBON COPY and SUN’S GUN-
SMOKE at GLL Farms.
Hengen & Lenox have already started construction
of a sales pavilion on their jointly-owned property on
the Lewisburg highway just west of Shelbyville. This
is the property where the first GLL Farms sale of
CARBON COPY colts was held last fall. Their pro­
gram calls for both a spring and a fall sale of pro­
ducing brood mares. Emphasis was put on the word
"producing,” as it is the belief of both Mr. Hengen
and Mr. Lenox that there is a great market for fine
brood mares that are guaranteed producers. They
have 184 acres of beautiful land which should be suf­
ficient for their needs. Mr. Lenox also pointed out that
the 2nd Annual Sale of CARBON COPY colts will be
held the last Saturday of the Celebration and that
this year the sale will feature over twice as many
horses as last year. It was also learned that the colts
offered for sale will be the "best available,” as few
1968 yearlings by CARBON COPY will be sold until
that time. This will, in his words, "give everybody an
opportunity to buy a top horse.”
The other important facet of the merger is the fact
that B. MAJOR WILSON has been moved to Tennes­
see to stand at stud. This horse has always been a

popular favorite and many people have expressed an
interest in breeding to him. The fact that he is now
centrally located should come as welcome news to a
lot of mare owners. He is still owned by Mr. and Mrs.
E Carl Hengen. He joins SUN’S GUNSMOKE, another
fine breeding stallion with a proven record, at GLL
Farms, providing a well-balanced breeding stable.
GUNSMOKE is owned by Mr. W. S. Kincade.
