In discussing the prospects for the future, Dr. John son said, "I believe we are very fortunate in having a young man of Mike’s calibre in the Carolinas, and I have great hopes for the future of the breed in this part of the country. We have tried to obtain some excellent stallions for breeding purposes and, with Mike’s help, we should see some World Champions coming out of Carolina-bred and Carolina-trained hor ses.” He further stated, "The Carolinas are fortunate in having some of the finest horses, trainers and own ers in the country, and together we should be able to prove that we can compete with the best.” The Shadow Valley Farm is a beautiful three-hundred- acre spread that has been prepared and laid out spe cifically for brood mares.
