BOBO STABLES PLANS RIDING SCHOOL FOR WALKING HORSE ENTHUSIASTS
The Bobo Stables in Shelbyville, Tennessee, already one of the most active Walking Horse businesses going, is scheduled to start a major riding school for enthusiasts of this breed. Their current plans call for the first classes to beging the first or second week of June, depending upon registrations and development of facilities for the school. There will be several phases to the school, including group and private lessons. The school will last approximately six weeks for area students, with regular classes being held at scheduled times during the week. Sessions will be available on a daily basis for students, both adult and juvenile, who wish to come from out of state, and the school will provide living accommodations while these students are in Shelbyville, Tenn.
In discussing the program, Mr. Charles E. Bobo, director of the school, stated that they will include all phases of basic horsemanship and horse science. They will not, he added, attempt to teach equitation or horse training techniques at this time. Mr. Bobo will be assisted by his sister, Mrs. Martha Dunnegan, who has had extensive experience in all areas of the horse business. The Bobo Stables is located on a beautiful one-hundred-acre spread on the Unionville Highway just north of Shelbyville. They have ample facilities— including riding trails, showrings, stables and horses— for the school, and every attempt will be made to provide the best in basic horsemanship. Anyone interested in this school should contact Mr. C. E. Bobo or Mrs. Martha

TRAGEDY OF CLUB PRESIDENT MARS AUGUSTA, GEORGIA HORSE SHOW
Tragedy struck the third annual North Augusta Lions Club Horse Show in April with the collapse and ultimate death of Lions Club President Irwin L. Pruett.
Pruett, 45, collapsed moments after helping make the ribbon presentation for the Walking Horse Amateur Class. He was a native of Irvington, Virginia, and had lived in North Augusta for the past twenty years. He had been president of Little League baseball and was past president of the Yellow Jacket Boosters Club, which boosts all sports at North Augusta High.
Duncan Johnson was receiving the ribbon and trophy for the Amateur Class on MIDNIGHT TORNADO just before Mr. Pruett collapsed. Jim Babb of Fort Oglethorpe, Ga. was Walking Horse judge for this show.

Orton to Judge— S3,450 Prize Money in Walking Horse Classes
Occasionally we run across some people who really ake a special interest in our breed. Such is the case his year with the Tuscaloosa, Alabama, JWA Charity Horse Show. This show has been established for several years as a " good Walking Horse show” but this year they are trying to make it great. They have acquired the services of Mr. Clyde Orton as their judge and have arranged all Walking Horse classes for Wednesday, June 18 and Thursday, June 19. This will enable exhibitors and trainers to make the trip to Tuscaloosa and still give everyone two days to get to another show the following Saturday.
The major drawing card, however, is their schedule and the number of classes they are offering. They have fourteen Walking Horse classes, seven each evening, and have an impressive total of $ 3,450 prize money in the fourteen Walking Horse classes.
Mr. Orton is well-known throughout the Walking
Horse as a knowledgeable horse expert and was a Celebration judge in 1965. He is from Caruthersville,
