WHOA Versatility Show June 15, 2019 • Cookeville, Tennessee their stuff for the very competent judge, Glenda Levin. One of the “fun” things about working with WHOA ( and there are many fun things) is the chance to see  friends from far and near. Cookeville offers the oppor- tunity to reconnect with our East Tennessee friends and see their horses. It was my pleasure to visit with the Danny Reagans, the Ken Estes customers and Randy Young and his entourage.  I don’t know if it was be- cause it was “Father’s Day” week end or if it was just a concidence but appeared that there were many more “family” groups than normal.  We welcomed one and all. Cookeville was cookin! – Sis Osborne Part of the Gernt family - Victor with niece and nephew Mallory and Blake, wife Becca, and daughters Charlotte and Evelyn. The weekend of June 15th and 16th was a busy one for the WHOA crew. On Saturday June 15th we traveled to the Hyder-Burke indoor arena. This facility is really convenient for the horse folks as irt is easy to find just off I 40 and well marked. As it is inside  you don’t scorch nor get wet. The Big A** fans did their job and while it was hot and muggy outside ---inside we were certainly more than OK inside.  There is room inside so that after getting your horse checked by Terry Martin you can stay in and get out of the sun! This show and show site were originally suggested by Vic Gernt and it has been pop- ular and profitable show. This year 165 entries strutted 18 • Walking On Drs. Catherine and Dan Starnes with their most important subjects - Abby, Hannah, and Jon.
