HUCKLEBERRY FARM
Way down in Waycross , Ga ., the Huckleberry Farm of Mr . Moi M . MONROE , JR ., has a good brood mare operation in full swing . In talking with Mr . Monroe , we found that he has about 16 mares on his farm , 11 in foal at the present time . He has Midnight Sun , Mack K , and Go Boy mares ; a Midnight of Oakwood mare with an Ebony Masterpiece colt at her side ; Sun ’ s Merry Bird with a filly by Sun ’ s Delight at present ; and one that he is especially interested in , a Bombardier mare with a filly by Mack K now and bred back to Midnight Sun . His mares are bred to prominent studs such as : Go Boy , Sun ’ s Delight , Midnight Sun , Night of Night ( better known as Old Buck ), and Mack K ’ s Castro .
Sun ’ s Galore , a black Midnight Sun filly that Mr . Monroe purchased at the Harlinsdale Sale this year , is in training with BILLY BRANTLEY at Battleground Stables in Fort Oglethorpe , Ga ., and all reports say that Billy has a top two-year-old prospect again with this filly . Mr . Monroe also has a coming three Mack K mare in training with CARL EDWARDS and a coming four-yearold mare , a granddaughter of Major Wilson , with BOYD HUDGINS in Macon , Ga .
BARRVIEW STABLES
NEIL CLARK , formerly with the Cypress Acres Stables in Harleton , Texas , has just started to work as trainer for the Barrview Stables in Baxter , Tenn . He took over this operation right after the Celebration and has gone to work filling up the fourteen stalls they have . Atpresent Neil is working several good horses , including Barr View Sue , an age mare belonging to S . N . BARR of Chatsworth , Ga ., a coming-three stud named Gold Sun ’ s Walker owned by CURTIS HUDGINS of Marshville , N . C .

We will have more on this stable operation later .

THE CAROLINA OPEN GATE
by Mary L . Hinson Route 4 , Box 186 Sumter , South Carolina
What a thrilling horse show season — twenty-five shows ! I ’ m sad to see the season close . What do horsemen do on Saturdays after showing every Saturday since April ? South Carolina has just finished the last three shows and it gives me pleasure to share them withyou .
On Saturday , October 16 , all roads led to Greenville , South Carolina . What a show ! J . D . MASSEY really knows how to put on a good show whether it be one day or three days . BILLY SLEDGE took the money on Dr . CHARLOTTE KAY and ANN KELLY ’ s Junior horse , Go Boy ’ s First Lady . This horse also took the Columbia show . LARRY COOPER , owner of Circle C , rode G . Black Shadow for the blue in the Amateur class . DUDLEY SLEDGE from Hinson ’ s Walking Horse barn showed a new ' stud to South Carolina horse lovers , Go Boy ’ s Mr . Somebody , owned by Dr . CLAUDE SEXTON . This chestnut sorrel is something to watch in motion . You exhibitors can watch for him next season . Thank you , J . D ., for another good show .
The Orangeburg show was held October 30 at the Orangeburg Saddle Club . What a lovely place ! They had no trouble getting rid of the food , which was served in the beautiful new ' clubhouse . T . L . BOZARD , my good friend , did a fine job with this show . REX WATTS was the judge . JUDY HENSLEY won the Juvenile class on Midnight Easter Sun . KENNY SUTCLIFF gave us a thrill in this class — what a big horse and a big boy . Thank you , Kenny . ANN BOZARD took the Owner-Amateur on Mr . Glory Bee . Billy Sledge rode for the money in the Junior class on Go Boy ’ s First Lady . Mrs . NEWTON TURREN- TINE won the money in the Amateur on Sun Dust Black Magic . These two have challenged all the amateurs this season . BILL BOYCE gave Mrs . Turrentine a run for the money on Beware . These two are a real pair . TOMMY GREGORY took the Stallion and Gelding class on Glory Bee . Tommy ’ s father , LIGHTNING Gregory , won the Stake class on Mrs . Turrentine ’ s Sun Dust Black Magic . Thank you , T . L ., for a lovely show .
The last show of the season was November 6 at Circle C . Owner Larry Cooper had been sick for two weeks , but what a show ! How do you do it , Larry ? KENNY PRICE judged this show . Quite a few North Carolina exhibitors made this show . It ’ s good to compete against different horses . What a thrill when JEFF SMITH took the Stallion and Gelding class on his big roan horse , Mr . Souvenir . Mr . PRESTON FREE ’ s Sun ’ s Cadillac looked mighty good to me . Miss ETTA GAMBLE rode Sun Dust Angel for the blue in the Mare class . The Stake was won by Mr . THOMPSON from North Carolina . RALPH HENSLEY ’ S Merry Blue Boy looked good , but we missed you , Mr . Hensley . Dudley Sledge pleased the crowd on Dr . Claude Sexton ’ s Go Boy ’ s Mr . Somebody . The crowd went wild over RALPH REESE riding Allens Jet , owned by Mr . and Mrs . MANNING JONES . What a pair ! I hear Ralph trained this horse from a colt .
We ’ ve missed HUCK MOSS , but I hear by the grapevine that he has a good excuse . He joined the Army and got a beautiful wife . Good luck , Huck .
I left out a very important event in last month ’ s news . CHARLENE WILLIAMS tied in the money in the Equitation class at the Celebration . I ’ m sorry , Charlene . Charlene and her brother JIMMY have thrilled us all season . Next month it will give me great pleasure to report on the South Carolina Horse Show High Point Awards Banquet .
