owned by Miss Jean Whitesell of
Minneapolis, Minnesota. This 4
year old blue roan mare is a sharp
neat package. Sired by TOP SE­
CRET out of SCARLET ROYAL
she carried good strong bloodlines.
She is smooth and well gaited.
She has several wins to her credit,
topped by a blue in the Amateur
Class at the Minnesota State Fair
in 1965 with her owner up.
The Heltibridle family is well
known in Walking Horse circles,
for they have owned TWH for
more than 17 years. Feeling a need
to promote the TWH in the Mid­
west, Dwight Heltibridle helped
to promote and was one of the
founders of the Corn Belt Walk­
ing Horse Association. Through the
efforts of this organization, recog­
nition has been given the TWH
breed in Midwest area shows. The
group is constantly striving to se­
cure more classes and promote
more interest among owners, ex­
hibitors and the general public.
Out of the efforts of its members
has grown the annual Midwest
Walking Horse Celebration. The
Association is growing and mem­
bers now include residents from
Iowa, Minnesota, Illinois and Mis­
souri.
Since his return from Military
Service, Donovan Heltibridle has
been the competent trainer at
Hawkeye Melody Stables. An open
house at the farm in February of
1964 presented a new stable with
large roomy stalls and inside train­
ing facilities. Donovan Heltibridle
and his charming wife, Jeanne, are
active in the Corn Belt Walking
Horse Association, acting as treas­
urer and secretary.
Visitors receive a very cordial
welcome at the Heltibridle Stables.
Donovan is always willing to show
their horses and is enthusiastic
about the progress of the breed in
the Midwest. He feels that there is
a growing interest and market for
the Walker in this area.
1965 looks like a winner for the
Heltibridle’s and Hawkeye Melody
Stables.
