1 CALICO FARMS IN CINCINNATI IS SIX DEEP IN TOP SHOW MATERIAL FOR 1965 SEASON Leading off is Mr. Calico, who has to be ranked as one of the best geldings showing today and who is a real tribute to the Mack K blood line. He is un­ defeated so far this year. Next is Go Boy's May Girl who is also undefeated in 1965 and has captured the plum of the Greater Cincinnati Horse Show by winning the Grand Champ­ ionship Stake. Following is Mrs. Kroll's Walking Mathilda who also is undefeated in 1965. These three horses have at this reading won six blue ribbons which include three stake classes. Behind these three is Mrs. Kroll's new gelding's full sister. Millionaire, which, its first time in the show ring in Cincinnati, tied third in seasoned competition. (I) MACK K’S MR. CALICO, Willard Ten- 2 penny up. 1965 Winner of the Stallion and Gelding Class at Cincinnati, and the Stallion and Gelding Stake at Circleville, Ohio. (2) GO BOY'S MAY GIRL, Willard Ten- penny up. 1965 Winner of both Mare and Stoke Classes at Cincinnati, and the Mare Class at Chillicothe, Ohio. (3) WALKING MATHILDA, Jacqueline Kroll up. 1965 Winner of the Ladies Stake at the Greater Cincinnati Horse Show, Cincinnati Ohio. Willard Tenpenny has a four-year-old, Roger's Go Boy, with the speed of lightning which has not been shown yet, plus a four-year-old mare that is a full sister to Mr. Calico and should keep up with her brother when she starts to hit the show ring. Now, the strong bench consists of a three-year-old Go Boy stud loaded for bear, plus a three-year-old full sister to Mr. Calico with the same form as he; and, in addition, a bay stud by Go Boy that can't miss being a top stake horse. While the Krolls have spent five years collecting this fine material, it goes without saying that unless you have a trainer of the class and quality of the best, then the excellent material loses its potential. However, this is not the case for CALICO FARMS, for in Willard Tenpenny, their trainer, lies the crafts­ manship of one of the world'sfinesttrainersand professionals in the show busi­ ness today. Without a doubt he is a real tribute to the Walking Horse world. CALICO has just had two new additions, one being a pure black stud colt by Midnight Pleasure RG out of a Mack K- Midnight Sun mare. The other is a fine red chestnut by Go Boy's Rock 'n Roll out of the same Midnight Sun mare that has produced so many fine foals for CALICO, including the top gelding, Mack K'sMr. Calico.
