TENNESSEE
WALKERS
IN TEXAS
Mrs. Edith Puckett
Route 4, Box 110
Tyler, Texas
Four great shows in four consecutive weekends!
Marshall Lions’ Club Annual Show July 15-16 was the
first in this series and it was a good one. Plenty of good
horses, lots of horse talk and an enthusiastic crowd will
make a good show anytime. HERBERT MURRAY of
Texarkana did a fine job of filling in as judge for BILL
MOORE who had to miss the show due to the death
of his father.
GLEN LOE and V. R. BRAWLEY, trainer, of Tullos,
Louisiana were among the new friends we made at
this show and after seeing them again at the Nacog­
doches Show, we feel we’re old friends. These people
are real Walking Horse enthusiasts and have some fine
horses. MR. BRAAVLEY won the stake class on Grand
Marshall for DR. SHAMLAU of Tullos .The rest of
the results will be found in Show Results.
The next weekend found most of the same crowd,
some of whom are C. C. WILLIAMS, JOE WILLIAMS,
DR. ROGER HARMON and daughter, KAY, JOE
HAYNES, DICK and SAM FORD, of Marshall, MR.
and MRS. A. . LOCKE and JOHN DENSON of Tyler,
at Garlond, Texas for another good show, ably judged
by BILL HUTSON of Shreveport. DR. J. BYRON
LANDRESS and DUB IVINS are the hard workers
for this show. JOHN SHARPE was the winner in the
stake class on Mack K.3s Fair Warning.
And the following weekend found most of us in
Stephenville for the Second Annual State Walking Horse
Show, judged by GEORGE MOORE of Shreveport.
The show committee is the most hospitable group to be
found and it was a good show, but needed more horses.
I understand from MR. H. H. HASSLER that this
was probably the last of these shows in Stephenville be­
cause the show lost quite a bit of money. I'm sure it is
a disappointment to all those who worked so hard,
though the exhibitors and spectators enjoyed it. FRANK
MASON, SHIRLEY SHARPE. BUD SEATON, BABS
WALKER, JULIA and JERRY HORN, all of BOOSIE’S
RAIDERS (the gang from Marshall listed above),
WAYNE DAVIS, EDDIE MILLIGAN, JOHN SHARPE,
MR. and MRS. O. LATHROP, were among the en­
24
thusiastic participants here. I was happy to meet MR.
and MRS. WESTON from Weatherford, Texas. And
MR. and MRS. ELGIN GANDY and their lovely
daughter, BECKY, made our stay overnight in Ft. Worth
a real pleasure. BUD SEATON took the blue in the
stake class on SHIRLEY SHARPE’S Go Boy3s Chatter­
box.
And on to Nacogdoches, the biggest show in this area,
where MR. JACK MOORMAN of Meridian, Mississippi
judged the Walking Horse classes. I don’t think too
much praise can be given LINDA and ELI POOLE.
They are two of the hardest working people I’ve ever
seen and they so kindly took on the added burden of
caring for my horse for me. I know the people of Nacog
doches agree with me because they presented LINDA
with a beautiful bouquet of flowers at the Saturday
night performance. And the show was a great success
in every way.
CLAIMING CLASS ADDS EXTRA INTEREST
TO BATON ROUGE SHOW
An interesting addition to the Dixie Horse Show
Jubilee this year will be the inclusion of a $3,000 Claim­
ing Class. The show, which is scheduled to run No­
vember 3-6, hopes this class will have the same positive
effects that this event has at the Thoroughbred Race
Tracks.
The class will include stallions, mare or geldings of
any age with riders required to be 18 or older. Any
horse entered in the class can be claimed for $3,000 by
anyone.
It is hoped that this class will stimulate interest at
the grass roots level for exhibitors who would not nor­
mally appear in the show ring. Fans in the Baton Rouge
area have ben trying to get this class included in their
show for several years and are very optimistic about its
prospects.
