Good Friend In Tunnelton
II our feet ever take us to Tunnel-
ton, fnd., we must find and shake the
hand of Louis C. Ingle who writes, in
subscribing: “I’ve owned a lot of
books and do quite a lot of reading
but have never enjoyed one more than
your book. I’ve read and re-read it,
lots of times. Hardly a week goes by
that I don’t use it for reference ... I
am only a small duck in a little pond
but have a fine young stud and a
pair of good mares that will be bred
to my stud this month (June). We
are enjoying working the stud and
sincerely believe he will be heard of
in all Walking Horse circles in the not
too distant future ... I think right
now he has as fast a running walk as
most of them but not a hair has been
chained off nor has he had any of the
so-called scooting juice on him. I have
seen most of the great horses and I
believe he is one of the best." (Good
luck, Louis, you seem to be headed
somewhere. BAG.)

Roger Dale Hand Reports
"I am sure you will be greatly
rewarded for your time and effort.”
comments Roger Dale Hand of Route
1, Heflin, Ala. He writes a real clear
hand too boot. Roger thinks this
magazine “is what the Walking Horse
needed more than anything else at the
time.” (Note—That’s why we did
everything possible to crank off this
project. We hope it meets the Big
Need of the breed. BAG.)

How Champions Are Shod
Herbert H. Craig, 2319 Cloverdale
Ave., Winston-Salem, N. C. remarks:
“I would like to see pictures of how
some of the Celebration champions
are shod. Any information on shoeing
horses would be appreciated. ... I
have read your book (Biography) a
couple of times. Each time I learn
more about the best horses, living or
dead" (Note—Herb, I do not recall
seeing any Celebration champion pic­
tures that would reveal facts about the
shoeing. The truth is, I am told, that
shoeing a horse is like shoeing a
human. You have to “fit the foot” and
also the temperament. My training
book, which you have reserved, will
have an interview with a veteran far­
rier on everything he can put into
words about horseshoeing. BAG.)
Surely A Cowboy Here
A passel of letters arrived in the
mail with subscriptions and the like.
One envelope carried in bold type
DON B. DEYOE, Ford Creek Ranch,
Teigen, Montana. Below was a two-
legged bronco with the other two feet
high up, and the rider in the saddle
without hands. Surely Subscriber Don
Deyoe is a cowboy—Montana type.

A Promise From Richard Lemon
We have a promise from Richard
N. Lemon, Rt. 1, Box 706 B., Albu­
querque, New Mexico, that he will
start writing an "open forum” for us.
You fire the questions and Richard
will answer them. He is an expert
writer as well as an expert horseman,
and has an article on Tennessee
Walking Horse due to appear in the
October All-Breeds issue of Western
Horseman. Two years ago he contrib­
uted a splendid piece to that issue of
the Horseman. The Voice looks for­
ward with great pleasure to whatever
Richard has to say—at any time. BAG.

From St. Louisville, Ohio
A "right-away" subscription to the
Voice comes from Mrs. Francis A.
Wharton of the “STALL-WALKING
STABLES,” Route 1, St. Louisville,
Ohio. She says they have four
registered Walkers, including two
studs, one mare and one gelding. Also
have Hereford and Black Angus
cattle. Glad to make the acquaintance
of new friends and also a town we did
not have on our list previously.

“Wonderful Letter,” says M.F.
Mary Frances “censors” our incom­
ing mail and she often writes on
the envelope. “Wonderful letter” she
penned on a missive from Cecil H.
James, service manager of Allied
Equipment, Inc., 3233 Jackson, Miss.,
P. O. Box 3033, W. Jackson St. Cecil
said in part:
“I have never enjoyed any type of
horse magazine as much as I have
your ‘Voice.’ Please keep the good
work up! . . . May I suggest that you
have a yearly binder made up in very
attractive colors that will hold 12 of
the Voice magazines well marked, with
the year engraved on the cover. Then
we could buy them for each year and
file away for future reference.
"I am so proud you have come up
with something on training and care
of the Walking Horse. Not that I will
every have any show horses b
