NEW ADULT TRAINING SCHOOL
TO BE HELD AT JOE WEBB STABLES
It was recently learned that -Joe Webb of Searcy,
Arkansas, a renowned Walking Horse trainer, would
hold an adult riding school at his stable the first of
December. We discussed this proposed school with
Mr. Webb and found out some interesting facts re
garding his program. "To begin with,” he said, there
appears to be a great need, now more than ever, for
adult enthusiasts of our breed to learn the basics of
training and riding Tennessee Walking Horses. 1 here
are so many misconceptions as to the type of training
necessary to produce the type of horse that we have
to have today that I thought a school for this would
be helpful."
In discussing the details of his school, Joe stated,
"We will have a complete program of horsemanship
for both pleasure and show enthusiasts that will in
clude everything from beginning riding to show ring
procedure.” He emphasized, however, that he does
not intend to try, at least during this first school, to
get into advanced training techniques.
Mr. Webb attracted national acclaim in 1959 when
he won the World Championship on RODGERS PER
FECTION. He repeated this performance with a colt
sired by his earlier champion, winning the same title
in 1964 with PERFECTION’S CARBON COPY. In
recent years he has won three world titles on THE
ENTERTAINER, another horse sired by his first
champion. Mr. Webb has also received many commen
dations from his colleagues for his book, now in the
third edition, entitled "The Care and Training of the
Tennessee Walking Horse." which has become some
what of a standard for everyone interested in this
breed. He and his wife, Nell, have also received a lot
of support for a summer riding school and camp which
is becoming a must for youngsters interested in Walk
ing Horses.
The school for adults will begin Monday, December
1 and will last through Friday, December 12. Regis
tration will be held at the stable on Sunday, Novem
ber 30. Arrangements have been made with local mo
tels and all participants are assured of comfortable
accommodations while in Searcy. For more information,
contact Joe Webb, Searcy, Arkansas, or phone 501/

or 268-5259.

sale such as the one he is planning.

horses, brood mares and yearlings selling in the after
noon, and show horses being sold in the evening.
Mr. Bolinger is asking everyone to help make this
