TENNESSEE WALKING HORSE BREEDERS’
ASSOCIATION HOLDS QUARTERLY MEETING
Significant progress was noted at the quarterly meet­
ing of the Tennessee Walking Horse Breeders’ Associ­
ation held in Lewisburg, Tennessee on December 14,
1968. Prior to the regular board meeting, the Judges
and Judging Committee met to discuss various com­
plaints and to review applications for renewal and new
judge’s licenses. Present for the committee session
were Senator J. T. Kelley, S. W. Beech, Chairman Jer­
ome Ryan, Steve Hill, and Captain E. A. Self. The
committee heard testimony from Mr. and Mrs. Darrell
Driver of Bowling Green, Kentucky, regarding an al­
leged violation committed by Mr. Driver during the
show season, and withheld action pending further in­
vestigation. They approved all but one application for
1969 judge’s licenses.
Among the various items of interest to come before
the Board was a report from the Building Committee
which noted that a low bid of approximately $235,000
had been received on construction of the new national
headquarters building and that the contract had been
let to the Ewing F. Cartwright Construction Company
of Shelbyville, Tennessee. Construction is underway
and is scheduled for completion on or about June 15,
1969.
A complaint by Dr. and Mrs. Russell Myers of Wood­
bury, Tennessee was heard which alleged that two
colts had been erroneously registered during 1968.
Represented by legal counsel, Mrs. Myers stated that

n
the colts in question were by their stallion and that
various irregularities were obvious in the discovery
that they had been registered to another stallion. The
board will launch an investigation of both sides of the
issue and take whatever action is deemed necessary.
The Board heard a report by Mr. George L. Lenox
regarding his findings after a personal study of the
records of the Association. His report led to a discus­
sion regarding the annual Breeders’ Association Futur­
ity and the method used to select judges for this show.
Mr. Jerome Ryan, Manager of the 1968 show, ex­
plained the procedure for selecting judges and, while
no changes were made in the procedure, an effort will
be made to handle the ballots with greater care in
the future.
Mr. Lenox also recommended that the Board ap­
point a committee to study the prospects of improving
the registration procedures to reduce the prospect of
false registrations. The Board appointed Mr. S. W.
Beech, Mr. Harlin Hayes and Mr. George Lenox to
this committee.
Senator J. T. Kelley, current President of the Asso­
ciation, made a report regarding proposed changes
in rules and regulations for showing Tennessee Walk­
ing Horses for 1969. He noted that representatives of
the Association had been working with the American
Horse Show Association on proposed rules changes.
All indications are that some significant changes are
in order for the coming season. These changes are in
regard to showring procedures, boots, and some other
important aspects of this area of activity. Mr. S. W.
Beech, Senator Kelley and Dr. DeWitt Owen will
represent the Breeders’ Association at the annual
American Horse Show Association meeting in Chicago
in January.
Attending the quarterly meeting were: Senator J. T.
Kelley, Dr. DeWitt Owen, Dr. B. S. Henry, Mr. M. G.
Williams, Mr. S. W. Beech, Mr. Roy Davis, Mr. Bob
Guinn, Mr. M alcolm Bess, Mr. Jerome Ryan and Mr.
Knox Bingham, legal counsel for the Association.
The proceedings were recorded by Mrs. Sharon Bran­
don, Secretary-Treasurer of the Association.
