about. And she was certainly worthy of everything
that he had said about her. Mr. JIMMY FAULKNER
of Oxford owns this fine bay filly and he really has
one that he can be proud of. No wonder he’s been
so anxious for show season to start . . . with a filly
like her, there’s reason to want to show her off!
Well, folks, that’s all for this month. Let me remind
all of you with any horsey information to please write
and tell me about it. This is your column, so get busy
and help me keep it filled! Next month I’ll report on
the annual Mid-South Association meeting in Jackson,
Tennessee, and on one of the annual highlights of the
year— the GLL Barnwarming. ^

ANNUAL AWARDS, WALKING HORSE DIVISION
WAY DOWN SOUTH by Janie Bramlett
Box 252
Oxford, Mississippi
Well, winter may have set in Way Down South, but
it certainly hasn’t stopped any of our horse trainers
from producing some top stock. With everyone rav­
ing about their fine two-year-olds, those two-year-old
classes should really be something this summer.
I paid a visit to the Pate Brothers Stable recently
and arrived early enough to see DICKIE and RUS­
SELL w7ork a few of their top two-year-olds. Dickie
is working a top two-year-old bay stud belonging to
Mr. FRED FOWLER that is really causing quite a
sensation. This colt is just ready and waiting for the
gate to open and is strictly big-time bound. Mr. Fred
has two other top Ebony colts with Dickie and Rus­
sell and all of them have the makings of top colts.
Mr. T. W. BOWLING has an Ebony filly and an Ebony
stud that are really going to bring him in some rib­
bons. A big price has already been turned down for
the filly, aqd the sorrel stud, Ebony’s Old Crow, may
be small in size, but when he gets that saddle on he
is strictly all show horse from the word "go.” CON­
GRESSMAN HAYES of Ohio has a fine Ebony stud
that is pretty as a picture and has the makings of
a great two-year-old. Mr. and Mrs. FRANK PARNELL
have a roan two-year-old stud by Pride of Panola,
Pride’s Hot Toddy, that should bring in some trophies
to add to the Parnells’ well-stocked case. Needless
to say, both Dickie and Russell are proud of their
two-year-old stock, and who could blame them. Miss
FLO FALKNER has just recently moved her top
amateur stud, Shadow’s Shadrack, to those Pate boys.
It was Russell who made this top horse, and many
of us remember Russell showing this great little horse
to win blue after blue. I’m sure Flo and Shadrack
are ready to start another equally successful season.
I managed to postpone studying for exams long
enough to go out to the Stewart Stables and see a
two-year-old filly that BOBBY has been telling me
