ENTHUSIASM BUILDS FOR 56th ANNUAL
MURRAY FARM SALE APRIL 15-18
YEAH . . . YEAH — Tom Yokley, brother of Auc­
tioneer and part owner of the Murray Farm Sale
Pete Yokley, is pictured as he registers a bid at
last year's sale. If this kind of enthusiasm will get
the job done . . . the 1969 Spring Sale should be a
good one!
Enthusiasm is running high as the
Annual Spring Murray FarmSaleap-
proaches. Scheduled for April 15th
through the 18th, the sale will again
be the first stop for buyers looking
for top stock as breeding and show
season builds up. As of this writing,
Mrs. Barbara Wiggins reports that
entries are coming in fast and that
perhaps they will have the largest
number of fine horses consigned that
they have ever had.
Long considered a ’’must” event
for the early season, the annual
Murray Farm Sale becomes the gath­
ering place for Walking Horse en­
thusiasts from coast to coast. The
little town of Lewisburg generally
overflows to other area cities to hold
the crowd that comes for the sale,
and usually upwards of five thousand
people can be counted on to attend
the sale.
According to Mr. Pete Yokley, they
will have a fine consignment of good
brood mares of all kinds. Many mares
will be in foal ready to have colts by
top sires, while others will be open
and ready to breed. Still others will
have colts by their sides and buyers
will be able to get a fine package of
both mare and colt. Also of interest
will be a fine selection of young hor­
ses either already broke and ready
to train, or already in training. Still
others will be interested in the vari­
ety of proven show horses that will
be offered by top training stables
from around the country.
Just a few of the fine horses being
offered are: HIGH CHAPARRAL,
MR. FANTASTIC and SUN’S DIXIE
DELIGHT from Fashion Two Twenty
Stables; MR. DILLON, from Ken­
tucky’s Diamond Stables; Jeffcoat’s
SUN’S WALKAWAY; Cypress Acres’
GO BOY’S SPUNKY DAY; Lyn Mor­
gan’s SHADOW’S MAJOR MAN, and
Frank Parnell’s DARK MAGIC P.
