(Continued from page 17} two-year-old Celebration Grand Championship. In 1951 he won the three-year-old Reserve Grand Championship at the Celebration on the gelding Crestliner. Mr. Mallard is most interested in the breeding and raising of the Tennessee Walking Horse. He has top breed mares that are in top condition and along with his breeding stallion Mighty Boy they are producing colts which rate with the best. Among these colts are: Rexal, a yearling bay stud out of a Romeo mare; Merry Shadow, a yearling black filly out of a Shadow mare; Space Lady, a yearling black filly out of a Midnight Sun mare; Go Boy’s Hal, a yearling stud by a Go Boy mare; Space Man, a yearling black colt out of a Midnight Sun mare; and a bay two-year-old gelding who will make a good ama­ teur horse, out of a Midnight Sun mare - all by Mighty Boy. Mr. Mallard’s breeding stallion, Mighty Boy, has quite a story behind him. He is one of Merry Boy’s first colts and while very young he devel­ oped a lameness. He never recovered from his injury and was not able to take the strenuous training required to put a horse in the show ring. Had he been able to show, he surely would have been a winner. Now at the age of seventeen he has all the vigor and energy of a two-year-old and yet the manners of a perfect gentleman. Mighty Boy has proved himself an excellent breeding stud through the years. Mr. Mallard has four of his horses in training with Green and Hugh in Shelbyville, Tennessee. Mr. Mallard says these horses are really coming along well. Dun Gone, a dun-colored four-year- old stud by Mighty Boy out of Wilson’s Amarillo is one of the horses. Desert Flower, a bay three- year-old mare by Sun’s Big Shot; Space Angel, a —WSF— -WSF— -WSF— -WSF— —WSF- -WSF— a two-year-old black filly by Mighty Boy; and Tommy Tell, a two-year-old black stud by Mighty Boy are the other three horses Mr. Mallard has with Green and Hugh.
