to make certain changes.
I Challenge Breed Registries
1. To have their field staffs,
openly and with announced in­
tention, to represent the buyer
rather than the seller. This is
logical because they are inter­
ested in establishing new breed­
ers, and the latter generally
need help. This proposed inno­
vation also takes cognizance of
the fact that ‘no man can serve
two masters.’
2. To make greater use of open
registries; that is, to register ani­
mals even though both par­
ents are not recorded. Instead,
set rigid stipulations and in­
troduce needed genes, openly
and with benefit, to the breed.
Usually this is accomplished
through an Appendix Registry
or a Tentative Registry, but
with provision to advance to
foundation status. Currently,
some such open registry pro­
vision applies to the following
breeds: American Albino, Ap-
paloosa, Connemara Pony, Mo­
rocco Spotted Horse. Palomino,
Pinto, Pony of the Americas,
Quarter Horse, Standardbred
and Tennessee Walking Horse.
3. To make increased use of ar­
tificial insemination. Of the
light horse registries, only three
accept foals produced through
A. I. without requiring either
reinforcement by natural ser­
vice, use of non-frozen semen,
or use of semen on owner’s
place.
4. To channel more of their re­
venue into research.
I Challenge Breed Magazines
1. To have their field representa­
tives, openly and with an­
nounced intention, represent
the seller rather than the buyer.
This is logical because they
must rely on advertisements,
and sellers usually advertise.
This prosposed innovation also
takes cognizance of the fact
that ‘no man can serve two mas­
ter.’

CAROLINA WALKING HORSE ACTIVITY
ON THE UPSWING —INTEREST GROWS!
Clemmons, N. C. is the location
of one of the most beautiful re­
creation parks in Piedmont, North
Carolina. The name of this park
is Tanglewood. Tanglewood is
filled with beautiful lakes, golf
courses, picnic areas and horses,
all kinds of horses, pleasure horses,
jumping horses, and Tennessee
Walking Horses. These Walking
Horses are trained by Mr. Char­
lie Sapp. Mr. Sapp has been as­
sociated with the Walking Horses
for fifteen years and has been the
trainer at Tanglewood for three
years.
Now. let’s talk about a few of
the Walking Horses. GLOVER GO
BOY an outstanding four-year-old
sorrel stallion is owned by Mr.
Sapp. GLOVER GO BOY is a
powerful going horse with the
right color, the right conformation
and the right way of going to be
right there with the best.
Patty Griffin of Winston-Salem
ownes a very good amateur mount,
AL’S SONNY BOY. We want to
see more of Patty and SONNY
BOY in the show ring in the near
future.
COPPERFIELD’S LITTLE DA­
VID, a threc-year-old stallion, has
been shown very successfully by
Mr. Sapp this season. LITTLE DA­

plenty of head motion in the flat
walk and running walk and a very
deep rolling canter. COPPER-
FIELD’S LITTLE DAVID is owned
by John A. Sapp of Winston-Salem,

Carolina has a large number of
extra good two-year-olds this year,
and Mr. Sapp is training one of
these colts. NIGHT STAR JACK-
SON is the colt. JACKSON is a
very short coupled black stallion.
He has been mentioned by many
well known Walking Horse enthu­
siast as “one of the most outstand­
ing two-year-olds in competition in
North Carolina.” NIGHT STAR
JACKSON is owned by Tangle­
wood Stables.

ring with great success. This colt.
