During the middle of February we had two new
colts, by Shadow and Ebony Masterpiece, born to our
brood mares. It sure makes us aware that, as spring
approaches, life begins again and so starts another
season in the Walking Horse world.
The latest news from Mrs. P. F. GOOD, Good Acres,
Athens, Ohio, is that their trainer, JACK GILKEY,
has his hands full with some top prospects for the
coming show season.
Of course, Go Boy’s Rock 'n Roll is still the king
at Good Acres and is throwing some nice colts. Go
Merry Wilson, a three-year-old sorrel mare, is one
of his first colts. She is really a show horse and one
to watch this year. Go Boy’s Rock’n Doll, another
of his colts, is a pretty sorrel mare that Mrs. Good
hopes to show in the mare classes this year for own­
er HOWARD EARNHART.
Mr. Gilkey is taking in a lot of outside horses for
training. Lea Mack Kay, a three-year-old sorrel mare
owned by Mr. and Mrs. W. P. MORRIS of Leesburg,
Ohio, has plenty of head motion and lots of speed.
Go Girl’s Queen Bee, a two-year-old by Rock 'n Roll,
is just started. She is owned by Howard Earnhart of
Logan, Ohio. Eldorado Again, a beautiful two-year-old
dark chestnut stud, was bought during the Celebration
from CARL INGLE in Shelbyville by Mr. JOHN GILL,
JR., of McArthur, Ohio. Mark of Shadow, a black
three-year-old owned by TOM GINIVEN of Worth­
ington, Ohio, and D’s Go Boy, a three-year-old bay
stud owned by PAUL DUFFY of Bellaire, Ohio, both
look good. Dixie’s Pixie, a real going three-year-old
mare out of Dixie Darling, is owned by DOUG ABEL
of Holly Springs, Mississippi. The Abels, DOUG and
DON, are newcomers to the Walking Horse business.
Major Go Girl, a three-year-old mare owned by
TOM CRACRAFT of St. Albans, West Virginia, and
Milady’s Red Boy, a three-year-old gelding belong­
ing to HARRY MYKRANTZ of Wooster, Ohio, will
be ones to watch for in the junior classes this year.
Also appearing to be a top prospect is Go Boy’s
Heritage, a three-year-old black roan stud owned
by Dr. H. M. BOOCKS and Jack Gilkey.

I am pleased to announce that The Kentucky Walk­
ing Horse Sales, Inc. has been formed. The feeling is
that interest in Tennessee Walking Horses in Ken­
tucky and north of Kentucky make a sale necessary
in this area. The first semi-annual Walking Horse
sale in Kentucky will be April 29, 1966, at the Hen­
ry County Fairgrounds, New Castle, Kentucky. Plans
call for the second sale to be in September at the
time of the Kentucky Walking Horse Celebration.
Only the first one hundred horses will be catalogued
and sold at the first sale, which is endorsed by the
Kentucky Walking Horse Association. Information
can be obtained by contacting the Kentucky Walking
Horse Sales, Inc., New Castle, Kentucky.
Mr. RAY L. LUTE of McDermott, Ohio, a former
showman of three- and five-gaited horses, is a new­
comer to the Walking Horse world. We are happy to
hear that he has completely turned to Walking Horses.
He is working four horses at this time and is es­
pecially pleased with his four-year-old gelding, Set­
ting Sun’s Boss Man. This horse, by Setting Sun, was
show to five blues and one fourth place last season.
Mr. Lute’s three-year-old stud, Bomber Campaign,
was shown to three blues and one red in open com­
petition. He also has a three-year-o'd stud, by Go
Boy’s Invasion and out of a Midnight Sun mare, and
a two-year-old filly out of a Society Man mare which
are working quite well. Mr. Lute, like everyone else,
is very anxious for the spring shows to begin.
