that trainer Don Bolinger first saw him. In discussing
the horse and his owner, Mr. Bolinger says, "Good
owners are harder to find that good horses, and that
is how I feel about the Logans. After I saw this colt I
called Mr. Logan and he purchased him on my recom­
mendation without ever seeing him. It was six weeks
before Mr. and Mrs. Logan saw AIR GUN, and they
have never been disappointed in him.”
AIR GUN first attracted major acclaim as a Junior
Horse in the spring of 1968. Trainer Bolinger carried
AIR GUN to Red Bridge Stables in Kansas City,
where he was helping with the Mid-West Walking
Horse Sale, and worked the horse every morning. It
was at one of these morning workouts that we first
saw him and were quite impressed. Don and Mr.
Logan were prompted to carry him to the "big time”
and few people were surprised when he won the blue
at the Searcy Walking Horse Show. From here they
went on to a string of victories throughout the Mid-
West as well as some top performances in Middle
Tennessee.
Now an age horse, AIR GUN continued to improve
for the 1969 season. Everyone concedes the fact that
competition is perhaps more keen this year in open
classes than it has ever been. We believe, however,
that when the season is over and we all look back at
the many truly fine Tennessee Walking Horses that
have made their mark we will find the name of AIR
GUN among the ranks of those that have shown con­
sistently and tied well in all competition.
DELIGHT’S MINNIE SUE. They are both winners.
At present, Don Bolinger is working eighteen head
of horses at his California, Missouri stable. Don has
lived in this area almost all his life and has a follow­
ing of Walking Horse fans that have been supporting
him for years. Their entire family is horse-oriented,
and the Bolinger children — Wanda, 17; Vickie, 14;
Kent, 12; and Greg, 9 — all help Don and his wife
Bonnie with the chores. It is a great life!
EDITOR’S NOTE — The sire of AIR GUN is now
standing at stud at Red Bridge Stables in Kansas
City, Missouri. He is having a good season at stud
and it is believed that the popularity of AIR GUN
has had much to do with the favorable response they
are having. If you want to breed top GO BOY blood,
you might give them a call.

TOP TWO-YEAR-OLD FILLY — A nother fine horse owned by the Logans
and in training with Don Bolinger is DELIGHT’S MINNIE SUE.
Another horse owned by the Logans is attracting
considerable acclaim — a fine two-year-old filly named
DELIGHT’S MINNIE SUE. She is black and beautiful
and is bred about as well as a Walking Horse can be.
By SUN’S DELIGHT and out of a GO BOY mare,
DELIGHT’S MINNIE SUE was purchased last year
as a yearling at the Porter Rodgers Auction Sale in
Searcy, Arkansas.
She has responded well to training and everyone
who has seen her states that she is really "big time”
stock. Don Bolinger is aiming high with her and be­
lieves he can show her against the best and get along
. . . even as far south as the Celebration. So when
the season reaches its peak, watch for two fine Ten­
nessee Walking Horses from Missouri, AIR GUN and
Voice of the Tennessee Walking Horse
This beuatjfu.l stallion carries the blood of champions in
his veins. He is by the great MIDNIGHT SUN and is out
of WILSON SNIP’S CHANCE (He is a full brother to SUN’S
DELIGHT) and offers everything you want in a fine stallion.
See him before you breed.
