THE MIDNIGHT SAINT is a three-year-old MID NIGHT SUN horse that belongs to Aaron Smith . A good-looking chestnut horse , he can really move . Another chestnut , four years old , that has been showing the big lick is SUNDUST STARLIGHT by ANOTHER SUN DUST . He is owned by M . F . Brown and is sure to win his share of ribbons as he can turn on in the big rings .
The young stock Harold is working also includes a bay colt for Clyde Williams of Cherokee that was
started late and is pacing on now .
Harold is working a two-year-old palomino stallion by SUNDUST PERFECTION that has a lot of promise . The dark gold color will make him easy to see in the ring and he should have a lot to show . A roan colt for Tom Watkins is walking now but is still small for showing . He also has a SUN ’ S GLORY BOY colt that is a real pacer . This colt will probably be shown next year as he has just been started , but he should be a real good one , judging by his beginning .

SILO HILL STABLES
Would you believe . . . Shelbyville , Tennessee ?
That ’ s right — the Silo Hill Stables have moved from Newberry , South Carolina to the old Green-Hugh Stable in Shelbyville . Bill Sledge and his son , Bill , Jr ., moved lock , stock and barrel several months ago and
have made quite a mark on the horse show results of Middle Tennessee shows . The stable is still owned by the popular Guy Whitener , Jr . of Newberry and all his show stock is there . " I ’ m traveling more and enjoying it more ,” Guy jokingly says .
Guy has good reason to be happy with the way things are going as he has a number of top horses
this year . He and Bill have worked long and hard coming up this calibre of horse and the results of their efforts are readily apparent this season .
One of the most talked-about ponies of all time is showing out of this stable . SETTING SUN DELIGHT a cocky black big-lick pony that can even go in nrcv fessional competition , is being groomed for the World Championship with Guy ’ s daughter Stuart in the die . They have won two shows to date , GreenviU South Carolina and the Columbia Spring Jnhil 1G ’
Guy ’ s aged stallion , MERRY BOY ’ S SECRET ^ « ■ to a great start this year with an impressive vict ,
56 at the Shelbyville P-TA Show . This big powerful stallion appears to be getting better with age . Another of Guy ’ s horses , BILLY HI FIVE , is truly an amazing gelding . This horse can be shown in amateur , juvenile or open competition and consistently come up with a top performance .
INVASION PERSUASION is being shown in open competition this year by Bill . This beautiful bay stallion has been hampered by injuries the past couple of years but appears to have overcome his problems .
Next month we will have a complete story on all the horses at Silo Hill Stables .
