ANNUAL HEART OF AMERICA AWARDS
The Heart of America Walking Horse Association
held its annual awards dinner and election of officers
February 25 in Clinton, Missouri. The dinner was ex­
cellent and a crowd of over two hundred was present
for the event.
This association does an excellent job of promoting
Walking Horses and inproving the shows in the mid­
west. There was a total of 51 shows that met all the
requirements for points to be given. The awards were
earned by accumulation of points with ribbons won
throughout the year of 1967.
The high-point horse of the year was SUN’S ROCK-
AWAY BOMBER, owned and shown by Herbert Mouse
of Adrian, Mo. BOMBER had 252 points that he accu­
mulated in the amateur class. He was shown by Mr.
Mouse at 43 shows. He’s quite a little horse! This was
the third year that BOMBER had won this honor and
he retired the challenge trophy, as well as receiving
the hundred dollars that went with the award.
Officers for the year of 1968 were also elected: Mr.
Barkley Brock of Clinton was re-elected president;
C. L. LeDuc of Springfield is vice president; and Alice
Harden of Carrollton is once again secretary-treasur­
er. The association is run by a fifteen-member Board
of Directors. Each year five new members are elected.
This year the new members are: Carl Elges, Clinton;
Harry Park, Richmond; Bill Conway and Lionel Lear,
Bolivar; and Louis Sloan, Dixon.
The official show for the Association will be held at
Springfield, Missouri in the enclosed arena September
19, 20 and 21.

SIRE: MIDNIGHT SUN 410751
: \
This young stallion, a full brother to SUN’S GUN-
SMOKE, is rapidly making his mark on the breeding
world with such force that he seems destined to
be one of the greatest breeding stallions of this era.
Barred from a promising career in the show ring by
a 'eS injury, the get of SUN'S ANTONIO are now
bringing him the recognition he so richly deserves.
In his two years at stud being bred to an extremely
limited number of mares, he has produced MID-
NIGHT’S SHADOWETTE, third place winner in the
Weanling Filly Class at the 1966 National Celebra­
tion and MIDNIGHT SENORITA, the reserve cham­
pion weanling filly at the 1967 Celebration. His
first colts are now under saddle and they are
sensational.
