Horse Show Results
by Linda Scrivner
Premium money attracted a large number of entries
to the Statesboro Jaycee’s horse show in Statesboro
Georgia for their annual show. The annual exhibitors’
breakfast can always be depended on for superb food and
a good crowd to enjoy it, even more so since the evening
had been a wet one. This show was sanctioned by the
Georgia Walking Horse Association.

Dear Mr. Bobo:
Just a line to say “thanks,” again, to you for coming
to judge our Celebration. It was a pleasure to watch you
work. Both Joe Webb, and our friend Betty Sain, told us
that you’d call them as you saw them, regardless of
owners, stables or trainers. And, sir, you did.
Actually, I feel that you elevated the whole quality
and character of four show. You are a credit to your pro­
fession and to the great state of Tennessee.
My family and I wanted, very much, to chat with you,
your pretty wife and daughter. But, since we were show­
ing before you we didn’t feel that it was ethical to talk
with you before the classes. Next time, we hope to meet
your family.
Doc and Gladys Young, old friends of nearly countless
years, told us how much they enjoyed seeing you and
swapping yarns about Tennessee and Kentucky.
Cordially yours,
John A. Evans
V.P. Pac. Coast Walking Horse Ass’n.
Dear Sir:
The California Walking Horse Celebration was held
last Friday evening, Saturday and Sunday, May 19-20-21
at the Carnation Ring in Pomona with the Very Honor­
able Judge Bobo from your great state officiating.
This was by far, the best show I have had the privilege
to witness and/or participate in ... in the State of
California!
Being a judge, breeder and exhibitor of the great and
noble Tennessee Walking Horse, myself, I was especially
impressed with the outstanding courage, skill and ability
displayed by Judge Bobo. The people and State of Ten­
nessee can be justly proud, to have him represent them,
as well as the Walking Horse Breed.
Although we did not win some classes, we would have
liked to, we felt the judging was honest and fair.
Our entire Show Committee did an outstanding job,
although there were some horses not permitted to show
because of sore feet, the good sportsm anship displayed by
all exhibitors was excellent!
Yours truly,
Clayton Robinson
