trainer for the C. C. Turner Stables.
After graduation, Sam Cecil turned
his full attention toward fitting
himself for the one thing he wanted
to do . . . train Walking Horses.
He has worked for “Lightning”
Gregory in Greenville, South Caro­
lina, Mr. C. B. Groves in Luray,
Virginia and again for C. C. Turner
as head trainer.
Since working with the Clement
Stables, Sam has worked with, and
successfully shown such horses as
MR. CHEVROLET, the 1963 North
Carolina State Champion, GO
BOY’S MR. SOMEBODY, SOU­
VENIR’S BONNAVILLE and has
worked with the Clement children
and their juvenile horses, SPUR’S
JET FIRE, and SPUR’S BIG MAN.
Both of these horses have been
shown successfully by Ronnie and
Diane Clement throughout the
Carolinas. He started several good
two year colts this year and GO
BOY’S BAY LAD“, EBONY
TREASURER and SETTING SAM
should one day make a name for
themselves.
Mr. Clement and Mr. Clyde
Abernathy, of Hickory and Mr.
J. B. Sherrill, of Bastonia, North
Carolina, purchased the 1963 Re­
serve Grand Champion Walking
Horse of the World . . . the great
TRIPLE THREAT, after the Cele­
bration last year. The big horse
was carried to Hickory and in the
early spring he was offered at stud
to select mares. The interest in
TRIPLE THREAT throughout the
eastern part of the country amazed
all concerned and his breeding pro­
gram had to be halted. It soon be­
came obvious, after several months
of working the horse that, as Sam
puts it, “we had a bear by the tail”.
As the season wore on and the
Celebration drew nigh, an impor­
tant decision had to be made.
Should Sam Cecil, the young train­
er of Clement Stables enter the
ring on TRIPLE THREAT or
should they try to find more ex­
perienced hands? After much deli­
beration, a decision was made to
return the “big hoss” to the one
man who could handle him best
■ ' ■ Harold Kennedy, the man who
had made him.
So it is that Clement Stables,
ickory, North Carolina, a relative
AUGUST, 1964
newcomer to the breed will have a
top contender in the Celebration in
1964. There will be several other
horses to contend with in other
classes also. Ronnie Clement will
enter the Juvenile Class on his
newly acquired SAM’S HERO, a
fancy bay stallion and Diane will
be going strong on SPUR’S BIG
MAN, her juvenile gelding. Sam
Cecil will also carry the Clement
colors on several other entrees in
various classes. We look for a
great future for the Clement
Stables of Hickory, North Carolina
and feel that they will do much to
help promote the fabulous Ten­
nessee Walking Horse to good ad­
vantage in this part of the country.

DID YOU KNOW THAT THE
“VOICE” HAS MORE WALKING
HORSE READERSHIP THAN
ANY OTHER NATIONAL HORSE
MAGAZINE?
RIGHT HORSE
WRONG PICTURE1I
The VOICE would like to apolo­
gize for the mix-up involving the
inside front cover of the July is­
sue. The ad, promoting MERRY
MOTION MAKER, a stake horse
owned by Hank Sheeley of Dallas,
Texas and ridden by Wink Groo­
ver, somehow got scrambled and
we ended up with Wink’s black
Junior SUN DUST Stallion in the
picture. In our haste to provide
pictures to all the special Cele­
bration publications and to the
other horse magazines, we some­
how ended up with the wrong
pictures. Mr. Sheeley stated that
the black horse was a fine looking
animal but he just wasn’t MERRY
MOTION MAKER. You’re right
Hank . . . and we apologize! Watch
for Wink and MERRY MOTION
MAKER in the Stallion Class and
the Stake Class at the Celebration.
