MOONGLOW STABLES
Just on the edge of Barnwell, South Carolina, on Highway *= 3, Boyd Melton is quite busy with his horses. Mr. and Mrs. Herbert Black, owners of the stable, and their children are becoming more and more involved with the Walking Horse business.
Chesley Black now has five colts " broke” and coming along fine with the promise of making fine show horses.
MOONGLOW’ S KNIGHT is going strong in the Juvenile Classes with several blues to his credit. He is owned by Miss Emily Jefferies of Barnwell.
In the Walking Pony Classes, RED MAN’ S BONNY, owned by Nick Hess of Chattanooga, and nine-yearold Mary Jane Black are quite a pair to watch when the gate opens.
Some newcomers to the barn are: SPRINGTIME, a beautiful black mare; GO BOY’ S VARIETY; and RODE’ S PEARL, another mare owned by Variety Food Stores and D. B. Hammack of Augusta, Georgia. Another fine one is a two-year-old TRIPLE THREAT filly owned by Mr. and Mrs. Eugene Bolen of Williston, South Carolina.
In the Junior Class, Boyd is especially proud of EB ONY’ S CHALLENGER, a black gelding owned by the Blacks.
An early visit to the barn some morning would find Boyd back in the pasture riding one of his impressive mounts. Boyd states that a combination of fine horses and fine owners vastly improves a trainer’ s chances of success, and this is the combination he has found in Barnwell.
HAROLD FULKS STABLES
Harold Fulks of Killen, Alabama is working a barn full of horses and is ready for the shows. In alphabetical order, the list would begin with the black filly by MACK K’ S HANDSHAKER that belongs to J.‘ R. Austin of Cloverdale. She will be ready for a show soon and she looks like she will have a big way of going and plenty of speed. Mr. Austin is also co-owner with Edwin Rinks of Florence of a great three-year-old SUN’ S DELIGHT stallion with the appropriate name of WILD DELIGHT.
The Eugene Carbine family lost their Walking Pony, SUN’ S GLORY BOY, in April. The boys will probably be showing the gelding, HAPPY’ S COUNTRY BOY, in the juvenile classes this year.
Oscar Goins of Tuscumbia has a big, loose, long legged walking colt by TRIPLE THREAT at Harold’ s
barn that will soon be a two-year-old to watch for in the ring. His name is TRIPLE THREAT’ S TRADE MARK. He is bay but has four socks for markings. James H. Haygood and son Jim of Florence have
seven or eight horses in training with Harold, and most are exceptionally good ones. The Haygoods have
tried to find the best for Jim and Harold to show. Jim has already won the pony class at Hokes Bluff and second at Athens on GO BOY’ S TUXEDO, the new black pony to watch. Jim won the blue and trophy at Athens in the Juvenile Class on MR. TWIST, a black horse with a great way of going when he gets going( he really can move). Harold has a two-year-old black filly, SUN’ S MAGGIE E., that is about the prettiest anywhere and has the gaits to match. Harold is about ready to bring out another black, a KEENE’ S GO BOY stallion that is five years old and has never been shown. He has had injuries and problems with moving all over the country, but is beginning to reach his potential. The Haygoods seem to like black, but they do have a bay GO BOY pony that won third at Fayetteville in a class of more than 20 ponies. Harold also won third at Fayetteville in the stake class with about the same number of horses on a big chestnut gelding, MIDNIGHT STORY. This big horse could go
on and on, and gets better as he goes.
Wilson Kent owns a blue roan pony that will be shown by Danny Williams out of Harold’ s stable this year. This good pony should win some ribbons.
Harold has been working HURRICANE BAY, a three-year-old MACK K’ S HANDSHAKER horse, for Dr. Jack McIntyre. This colt has had the work of a two-year-old and probably won’ t be shown until late in the season. A fine-looking bay stallion, he is worth waiting for as he promises to be something special.
A. H. Scott has a three-year-old HANDSHAKER bay mare, SHAKER BELLE, that was shown a few times last year. She tied first the the show in Muscle Shoals at the end of the season. She is a head-shaking mare with three good gaits and she’ s ready to go to a show early this year.
