TRIPLE THREAT ( Contd .) ( Continued from Page 3 )
and consequently became part of the complete liquidation property of the once influential CIRCLE T STABLES . In the Spring of 1964 , TRIPLE THREAT became the property of three relatively newcomers to the Walking Horse business and was moved to the new CLEMENT STABLES in Hickory , North Carolina . The new owners were Mr . C . E . Clement , Mr . W . Clyde Abernathy and Mr . J . B . Sherrill , all of North Carolina .
The 1964 program for breeding and training TRIPLE THREAT was hectic ! This number one contender for top honors for 1964 was in the midst of a new stable organization , a new trainer and a complete new program . In an effort to get ready for the Celebration , his owners decided to return him to the man who knew him best — Harold Kennedy . Mr . Kennedy , who was then set up in Lewisburg , Tennessee , took over the horse and started a slow road back to stardom that again ended with the Reserve Championship at Shelbyville .
Having been shown only five times before the “ big show ”, the phenomenal TRIPLE THREAT left Shelbyville determined to conquer all in his path . This he has done ! Since September , TRIPLE THREAT has defeated the greats of the breed in Mobile , Dallas , Baton Rouge , Raleigh and the Chicago International .
The long range future for TRIP­ LE THREAT is uncertain . It is definite that he will stand the 1965 season to a few select mares at the new TRIPLE T FARMS , INCOR­ PORATED in Lewisburg , Tennessee . This new training stable , now under construction , is located on Highway 431 just outside Lewisburg . It will be operated and managed by Trainer Harold Kennedy . The big question is — will the big bay again enter the gate for show ring competition or will he become a “ standard for the breed ” as a Stallion ? To date , this great horse by the renowned SUN ’ S QUAR­ TERBACK has been bred only a few times . His coming two year old colts indicate an amazing prepotency to pass on his most outstanding attributes to his get . Size , color , stamina , conformation and natural ability are the trade-marks of TRIPLE THREAT and these outstanding qualities represent the future of the breed . As a breeding horse , TRIPLE THREAT will be challenged to the highest to match his incomparable show ring career with results as a sire . If the colts he now has are any indication of his ability to breed the “ champions of the future ” ... TRIPLE THREAT will remain one of the greatest horses the Tennessee Walking Horse breed has yet produced .
