S. DIXIE HIGHWAY—FRANKLIN, OHIO
Delaware and the early Columbus Show are over
and we are looking forward to the Cincinnati Show
which is to be judged by Mr. George Henson and
should be a first-class show, as usual. We are having
weather to match and outdoor work is possible in
this beautiful spring weather. We stopped and visited
with Jack Gilkey and Mrs. Good of Athens, Ohio and
he should have top stock this year. The Haines have
a nice new mare and, with Rita Crane’s mare, they
should make the amateur classes more interesting.
We saw Mr. and Mrs. Jim Baldwin at Delaware and
at Columbus. He is sure working some top stock as
usual and that big sorrel horse sure put on a per­
formance at Columbus. We had him tied at the top
in his class. Evan Williams and Bill Atkinson of Rey­
noldsburg, Ohio are working some fresh young horses
and shaping up their show string again.
We had a nice visit with the Herman Ingrams at
Washington Court House. The black horse makes a
nice addition to his stable and this makes the second
black stallion that he is working that is by MIGHTY
BOY, owned by Elroy Mallard of Georgetown, Ky.
We stopped at Patterson Stables just after the Col­
umbus show. Debbie has a new stallion by SHADOW
that really rares up in front and walks a hole in the
ground. In the amateur class at Columbus she made
a faultless show and it looked like you could put four
or five horses between her and the next best horse.
Patterson Stables of Miamisburg, Ohio has Tom
Cottle up at the reins and they are doing well.
Dunaway Stable of Miamisburg has Tom helping
them with a real walking two-year-old blue roan stal­
lion by MIDNIGHT SUN. The Dunaways are also
working a SUN’S DELIGHT stallion which is equally
good, and one is hard-pressed to tell the better horse.
These horses are top stock and wre should see more
of them in the future.
We hear that Douglas Sparks of Tollesboro, Kentucky
has recently built a stable called Pine Valley Stable.
He should be a welcome addition to that area for-
training and selling horses. We wish to thank Mrs.
Douglas Sparks for keeping us informed of Kentucky
news.
Jay Cobb of Batavia, Ohio is working a promising
two-year-old owned by William Auxier.
