1965-Voice Of The Tennessee Walking Horse 1965 September Voice | Page 20

Mr. SAM GIBBONS again is deserving of congrat­
ulations for his typical splendid job as horse show
manager. This job requires the utmost in patience
and ability, and Mr. Gibbons is without peer in this
capacity. And can you imagine a Celebration without
EMMET GUY and JIMMY RICHARDSON? These
two literally make the show when the curtain comes
up for another performance. Emmet keeps the clas­
ses moving smoothly and entertains the crowd dur­
ing the slower periods. Jimmy is without a doubt
at the top of his field as a horse show organist and
his beauti ful music adds much to the glamour of
the big show. Photographer LES NELSON always
does a creditable job and this year was no exception.
The hardest job of all is right out there in the mid­
dle of the ring judging this biggest of all Walking
Horse shows, and deserving of thanks for perform­
ing this difficult task are: 1965 Walking Horse judges
Mr. RICHARD MARY of Baton Rouge, Louisiana,
Mr. CLYDE ORTON of Caruthersville, Missouri, and
Mr. HAROLD WISE of Lewisburg, Tennessee; judge
of all Saddle, Fine Harness and Road Classes Mr.
CHARLES JENKINS of Winter Haven, Florida; and
judge of equitation MISS DOROTHY DUKES of
Brentwood, Tennessee.
Working from dawn until dark and doing an excel­
lent job were barn managers SCOPE CARNEY and
IKE BULL. If these two men cannot answer your
questions at the Celebration, you are in a bad situation.
A large share of the credit for keeping things mov­
ing smoothly in the ring goes to ringmasters FRED
WHITE, MARK FARRAR and BILL PHILLIPS, JR.,
especially for risking their necks along the grass as
the crowded classes passed dangerously close in the
running walk.
There are many more people worthy of thanks for
their efforts on behalf of the Celebration, but space
limits us to mentioning these few. To all those others
may we again offer our thanks and congratulations
for a job well done.
Everyone is about back to the normal routine, and
the 1965 27th Annual Tennessee Walking Horse Na­
tional Celebration is a thing of the past. For all of
those who attended the Celebration for the first time,
may we graciously extend an invitation to next year’s
show: and for all of those veterans who returned,
may we thank you for your hospitality and urge you
to stop by and see us next year.
