and breaks as high in front as many aged horses with only one pair of light chains . We have high hopes for her and expect to send her to Marvin Wilson in the near future for finishing . She has the intriguing name of TRUE DREAM and she really is . The other threeyear-old filly is not quite as far along but she is improving rapidly . In the two-year-old group the best two at this point are a bay stud colt by MIDNIGHT SECRET and a filly by GLORY ’ S DARK DESTINY and out of a MERRY BOY mare . Both of these colts show much promise and we expect them to be ready for the two-year-old classes in the spring .
" My daughter , Lindsey , whom you have met , is working these colts with much help from Marvin . Lindsey ’ s special delight , however , is GOLDFINGER , and the fabulous way he is working . Horsemen who have followed him in his past career have told us that he is absolutely the best since he won the two-year-old Championship at the Celebration . We have had many buyers come to see him and have been offered fine

prices , but we are very reluctant to sell . We have a four-year-old black stallion in training with Marvin at Vic Thompson Stables that we bred and raised . He is by a brother of MAJOR WILSON and is developing into a very fine natural-going show horse . " Last , but by no means least , is SHADOW ’ S MO TION MAN . I am convinced , and so are many horsemen and trainers in Middle Tennessee , that this is one of the greatest Walking Horse stallions in the industry . He has been getting better with each show and the culmination of the past season was his stake win at the Chicago International Horse Show . Lindsey is being tutored by Marvin and Vic to show ' MOTION MAN in many of the amateur classes in the coming season . Marvin will show- him in many of the open classes also . I can ’ t say enough about this horse and it is and has been a great pleasure owning him .
" I hope this will give you some idea of wrhat we are doing here in Portsmouth . With each passing month the operation becomes larger and more satisfying .”
Thanks , Doc ! We w ' ill be looking for Lindsey and the fine Apel stock .
