TIES & TROPHIES
EDITOR ’ S NOTE : We welcome Mrs . LLOYD ISAACSON to our staff of Contributing Editors with much pleasure . She will be covering the " home front ,” so to speak , and will provide bits of news and information regarding the horse activities in and around Lewisburg , Tennessee . She has a varied background in the Walking Horse business and is currently active both as an owner and an exhibitor . She comes well recommended as a knowledgeable and enthusiastic horsewoman .
Everyone thought " Spring had sprung ” here in Middle Tennessee but last month Mother Nature kept things quite cold at times .
We saw TOBY GREEN in Lewisburg recently and learned of his new associate , Mr . GAINES LUNA . Since BUDDY HUGH left and has almost completed construction of his new stable , Toby has been looking for an associate and appears to have found a good man . Toby says Drug Dealer , and three-yearold stallion , is by far the best horse he has ever ridden or shown . He will enter the show ring this spring . Drug Dealer is owned by L . C . HALL . Another horse Toby is expecting great things from is Gun Smoke ’ s City Girl , a four-year-old mare owned by CHARLOTTE GREEN .
I was out to see Mr . HAROLD WISE at his stables and was pleased with the condition of Triple Threat . He never looked better — more and more the Champion he really is . The big talk at Harold ’ s stables these days is Triple Threat Again , a big bay two-year-old owned by
Mr . GOTTLOB KOENIG and EL LEN METZGER of Daytona Beach , Florida . This colt was first introduced to the Walking Horse world in an article in the VOICE several months ago . They recently moved him from their Port Orange Stables in Florida to Lewisburg because he had generated so much interest . All who have seen him say that he is a " most impressive ” colt , showing all of the bloom , size and ability of his famous sire , with looks and conformation second to none . Rumor has it that DOUG WOLAVER will show him this year . WOW ! There is a lot of activity at the Wise stable , including breeding and training . Stop by to see them anytime .
Over at Triple T Farms , trainer ALBERT ROWLAND has a barn full . He is particularly pleased with the progress of Quarterback Sneak , a " stake horse ” in anybody ’ s book . This horse is coming on strong and should prove to be a surprise to a lot of people . Yankee Doodle is reported to be ready for Miss JANIE JULIAN to show and Alvin is waiting for RONNIE CLEMENT .
Albert has several other surprises for the Walking Horse public , including a Junior stallion named Setting Sam . He is by Setting Sun and shows all of his breeding with a big lick and " go yonder .” April Love is showing a lot of improvement , if that is possible , and so is a full brother to her that Albert has had for only a few months . Horse for horse , Albert Rowland is noted for putting about as good a string of horses in the show ring each year as anyone .
A note of interest regarding the activities at Triple T Farms is the mode of travel utilized by owner CLARENCE CLEMENT of Hickory , North Carolina . Mr . Clement has been buzzing the country in a new Leer Jet , a ten-seater that covers the trip from Hickory to Lewisburg in 27 minutes . The Jet Set of the Horse World !
A growing attraction in these parts is an occasional get-together of the ' horsey set .” The second week in April we all met for a potluck supper at the recreation center . This was about the fourth gathering we ’ ve had , and good food and companionship was plentiful , with lots of " horse talk . Among those attending were Mr . and Mrs . HAROLD WISE Mr and Mrs . WINK GROOVER , Mr . and Mrs . ALBERT ROWLAND , Mr . and
Mrs . PETE YOKLEY , LUCIAN and JEAN SCOTT , Mr . and Mrs . S . W . BEECH , the WILLARD RAMBO ’ s , Mr . and Mrs . BOBBY BEECH , Mr . and Mrs . EVERETTE PATTERSON , MALINDA MARDISM and STEVE BEECH and many , many others . It is a growing event that should continue on a grand scale .
That ’ s it for now ! More from Middle Tennessee next month .
