Hi! The JIMMIE HOLLOWAY Sale
seemed to be its usual big success
with just about all members of the
Walking Horse sect on hand. Good
horses were selling well and pleas­
ure mounts were enthusiastically
purchased.
Spring fever was running high at
Hattiesburg recently, where South­
ern Mississippi University students
put on their first Walking Horse
Show. Even though it was these
youngsters’ first try, let me be the
first to congratulate them on their
efforts. The show was smoothly and
efficiently run, with prime prizes of­
fered. I think everyone enjoyed
showing there and will look forward
to returning next year.
While at the Hattiesburg show (the
first of the season for us) I had a
delightful chat with DOUG WOLA-
VER, who was JIMMIE LACKEY’S
guest. I hope that we will be seeing
more of this fine young man in our
part of the country. I was especially
glad to learn that he has Go Boy’s
Lady Beech at his barn. This colt
is a full sister to our Go Boy’s Wild­
cat. I am anxious to hear of her
progress under the competent tute­
lage of Mr. Wolaver.
We are looking forward to the big
Lions Club Horse Show in Shreve­
port, Louisiana, May 12, 13, and
14. It’s their first show in a long
time and it should be a good (un.
Other shows in this vicinity coming
up soon include: Poplarville, Miss.,
on May 14; Mendenhall, Miss., on
May 20; Magee, Miss., on June 3;
at Pearl (right outside Jackson),
Miss., on June 4. Unfortunately,
Meridian, Mississippi, willhave their
show on June 4, too, and I just don’t
know how I’m going to make both
of them. Our own Southwest Missis­
sippi Horsemen’s Association Show
May, 1966
in McComb, Miss., is on June 10,
with the Roxie, Miss., show the fol­
lowing night, June 11.
The Natchez, Mississippi, show
was held this past weekend (this is
their spring show) and it’s always
nice to visit Natchez in the spring,
but especially so when they’re hav­
ing a show . . . and especially,
especially nice when Estessa Sta­
bles can bring home five First Places!
We are anxiously awaiting the ar­
rival of our frst colt by Wildcat out
of a double Merry Boy mare.
Bye now!
If a man does not keep pace with his
companions, perhaps it is because he hears
a different drummer. Let him step to the
music which he hears, however measured
or far away.

Try MIRRA-COAT! U)
A small amount mixed with, or
sprinkled over, the daily ration will
help turn coarse, lifeless hair into a
smooth, glossy coat.
MIRRA-COAT is a carefully bal­
anced blend of polyunsaturated
fatty acids; vitamins A, B6 and E;
plus other nutrients so necessary
for developing and maintaining
healthy, pliable skin—a sleek prize­
winning coat. The same formula
used by mink ranchers to help pro­
duce glossier, more lustrous pelts,
MIRRA-COAT also helps stimulate
the re-growth of hair over thin or
bare spots, helps rid horses of scaly
skin and loose dandruff.
Have you ever seen dapples on
animals only 3 weeks off the rough?
Stock, use and recommend MIRRA-
COAT — now available in 3-pound
gas-packed canisters.
