FEBRUARY, 1964
THE HI-LINE (Conld.)
walking, “FANCY FREE OF
ESTESSA. FANCY went'to all the
shows in this circuit last season and
brought home her share of the
bacon, but then she was small. Now
she is developing tremendous
power. Watch for her, she will
win your hearts, too!
Mr. John Perkins of Smithdale,
Mississippi, has really been talking
about a new colt, GO BOY’S BLUE
PRINT, a two-year-old stud. He is
as pretty a colt as you would hope
to find. He is black, as India Ink
and will really leave some indeli­
ble tracks behind him this coming
reason. Mr. John has a barn full
of good horses but seems to get his
biggest charge from his juvenile
riders. He has some good ones, too.
PRIDE’S ROCKET, a full brother
to PRIDE’S ARISTOCRAT, tops
his Amateur list, and Dr. J. T.
Janes of near-by McComb really
enjoys riding him. They make a
great team.
Big things are doing, too, at
Ridgewood Stables in Lafayette,
Louisiana. Here stands SUN’S
QUARTERBACK, the sire of great
TRIPLE THREAT. Mr. and Mrs.
Hewitt Bordelon are the proud
owners and tell me that QUAR­
TERBACK SNEAK, a two-year-
old stud and QUARTERBACK’S
SWEATER GIRL, a two-year-old
filly, are showing great possibili­
ties. I saw what QUARTER­
BACK’S RARE FLAIR was doing
last fall at the Natchez show; but
Mr. Bordelon says he is much more
horse now. Rod Pellerin is the
trainer here and says they are for­
tunate in obtaining the groom that
cared for TRIPLE THREAT all of
last season. He has also told me
that facilities have been enlarged
to take care of the constantly grow­
ing number of visiting matrons
who have come to the court of
QUARTERBACK.
From Dixie Springs Stable,
owned by Mr. J. L. Carruth of
Dixie Springs, Mississippi, comes
news that PRIDE’S KISMET, a
five-year-old stud by PRIDE OF
PANOLA out of a double WIL­
SON’S ALLEN mare is showing a
bright future. This horse was
shown only a few times last year
but did quite well. Lu Carruth is
offering for sale her mount, MR.
DEE-LISH, by PRIDE out of a
WILSON’S ALLEN mare. He is a
young stud and really good look­
ing. Lu won the Ladies’ Class at
several of the shows last year with
this horse, but she intends to make
room for the new horses they are
expecting in any day now. She
says he would make an excellent
juvenile horse.
Whoever said "MAKE 'EM IN THE WINTER
AND SHOW'EM IN THE SUMMER" wanted,
to win more than I do!
Among those selected as lecturers
are: S. W. Beech, Jr., president of
TWH AROUND WORLD (Conid) the Tennessee Walking Horse
TRIPLE TREAT: school, Breeders’ and Exhibitors’ Associa­
show and social events. The Ameri­ tion; H. Tom Fulton, executive
can Walking Horse Association’s secretary of the Association; and
thirteenth annual school for ex­ Sam Paschal, Donald Paschal and
hibitors and judges will be held Vic Thompson, trainers. Last year
May 15 and 16 at the Quentin Rid­ five mares were given to the school
ing Club, Quentin, Pennsylvania, by the Breeders’ Association for
three miles east of Lebanon, Penn­ use in the instruction of this course.
Most of them are expected to
sylvania. H. Karl Yenser, chair­
man of the school committee, foal this spring. There will also be
sta
