WALK ON, MINNESOTA!
by Miss Carlene Holt
Stillwater, Minnesota
HERE AND THERE — Good to see Jean Whitesell
of Minneapolis, Minn., back in the show ring with her
lovely, little black mare SCARLET SECRET . . . Mr.
and Mrs. Lester Ellingson of So. St. Paul, Minn., stopped
by for a visit recently. They have some good registered
Walkers which are kept on a farm in Wisconsin. Their
newest pride and joy is a fine 1966 stud colt out of their
mare OUR SILVER ECHO and sired by ACE'S
YELLOW JACKET. This little colt is a palomino with
white markings.
Miss Carol Schachtler of Eau Claire, Wisconsin and
her good friend Alice Kenyon came by one evening for
a short visit. Carol owns the bold-going, black gelding
STERLING’S GOOD NEWS, which she has exhibited
very successfully this year. Alice Kenyon also owns some
fine Walking Horses, among them are two mares carry
ing excellent papers—a black, double MERRY BOY
mare, and alsg a daughter of MIDNIGHT SUN.
Visited recently with Shirley and Mike Keegan ot
Lake Elmo, Minn. They have two young Walker geld
ings being readied for field trial use. These two wonder
ful people are certainly enthusiastic about Walking
Horses.
Sorry to see trainer Frank Dalke leave our area. He
and his family have moved to Detroit, Michigan. Good
luck, Frank, in your new position.
STALLION ACRE FARM—Gilbert Minnesota
This farm, specializing in Walking Horses, is located
in northern Minnesota. Owners Dr. and Mrs. Gerald
Bol have visited with us and we have also done some cor
responding. They are certainly very enthusiastic about
Walking Horses and have sent copies of the registration
papers of several of the horses they own. They’ve gathered
together some well-bred stock. Among these are:
POTTER’S BEN—bay stallion, grandson of WILSON’S
ALLEN; CHANCE’S SANDY ANN—sorrell mare, by
MISSOURI CHANCE, out of a double WILSON’S
ALLEN mare EQUANIL—roan mare with four white
stockings, sired by WILSON'S MERRY BOY G.G.
BLUE GATE FARM, INC.—Stillwater, Minnesota
Full-time trainer, Lonnie Templeton has really been
busy keeping all the horses worked and in top condition.
Making a debut into the show ring this season was
MIDNIGHT MERRY ALLIS. This is a bay roan, three-
-year-old filly shown by Dr. Dorothy Muirhead for Blue
Gate Farm. This little mare has lots of speed and has
done well out there competing against older horses.
Showing very successfully this summer under the
trainer’s guidance is MIDNIGHT C BIG JOHN, bold,
black Walker gelding, shown by Miss Debbie Larson of
St. Paul, Minn. This was Debbie’s first show season on
a Walker—and she certainly has collected a grand array
of ribbons.
WOODLANE FARM—Stillwater, Minnesota
We are proud to announce the recent purchase of
MACK K’S MAMBO, a ten-year-old stallion, sired by
MIDNIGHT MACK K and out of a double WILSON’S
ALLEN mare. He is a dark chestnut with a star, snip
and off hind sock. Lester Bell of Stillwater, Minn, has
8
been showing this new horse for us. MACK K’S MAMBO
has stood at stud to several mares this season—so we’re
certainly looking forward to seeing his first crop of Min
nesota foals next spring. We’ve also purchased two new
registered mares: HONEY LADY—A bright sorrell brood
mare of closeup GIOVANNI and HUNTER'S ALLEN
F-10 breeding ;and MERRY FLASH-S., lovely dark
chestnut with flaxen mane and darker tail. She is a
double GIOVANNI bred mare.
Our new indoor riding arena is near completion.
It certainly will make riding an all-year-round pleasure
for us.
Our yearling filly, WILD AS THE WIND, has
found herself some proud new owners. Mr. and Mrs.
Brad Johnson of Sauk Rapids, Minn., have purchased
this coal black filly. We certainly do miss WINDY, but
kno’-’ that she has a fine home with the Johnsons.
I'd like to again request that persons in the Minne
sota area write to me about their Walking Horses. This
interesting information and other Walker news can then
be included in future articles. My complete address is:
Miss Carlen Holt, Woodlane Farm, R. R. 5, Box 123A,
Stillwater, Minnesota 55082. Thank you for your help.
