FOUR MAJOR SALES FEATURED
DURING WEEK OF CELEBRATION
The Celebration is more than just a horse show. It is
a week of concentrated horse activity with a lively pace
and an exciting setting. Thousands of people journey fj*0™
all over the country to Shelbyville for a week-and-a ha
saturation period with the Tennessee Walking Horse.
The focal point of Celebration week activity is the
nightly session of the big show, but there is plenty to
keep the horse-hungry public happy during the daylight
hours. A great deal of time is spent visiting the numerous
stables in the Shelbyville area or just wandering around
the show grounds enjoying horse talk and looking at the
competitors for the highest honors in the Walking Horse
field.
But more and more even- year the role played by the
numerous Celebration Sales continues to grow. For in­
stance, there are four major sales during the Celebration
week this year. Interest in and activity at these sales has
become the major point of Celebration daytime activities
as the visitors from all over the country are given the
opportunity to bid on top stock to take back home with
them.
The famous Harlinsdale Farm will again stage their
Celebration Sale this year with a three-day program set
up. The sale will begin on Wednesday, August 30, and
wind up on Friday, September 1. It will take place on the
Harlinsdale Farm and thus afford visitors an opportunity
to see this important part of Walking Horse history. The
Farm is located on U. S. Highway 31 and Interstate 65,
18 miles south of Nashville.
This will be the last production sale of yearlings by the
famous MIDNIGHT SUN. Colts by this illustrious sire
have been a dominant force in the show ring for many
years, and he will long be remembered by all who follow
the breed. The sale will also include many top colts by
such famous sires as SUN’S DELIGHT, SPIRIT OF
MIDNIGHT, MIDNIGHT MACK K, and MIDNIGHT
BEAU. The blue ribbon showings of SUN’S DELIGHT
colts this year should make bidding on his progeny very
active as he is rapidly gaining an outstanding reputation
as a sire of true walking colts.
The Bailey-Montgomery Stables will again have their
sale which has become famous for hospitality and fine
horses. This sale is scheduled for one day, Tuesday, Aug­
ust 29. The sale will be held on the Bailey-Montgomery
property with its excellent facilities. The property is lo­
cated on U. S. Highway 64 west, two miles west of
Shelbyville.
The sale will feature yearlings by sires such as GO
BOY’S SHADOW, SUN’S BLACK MAGIC L. M. and
PIDDLEY. All three of these sires are widely known for
their top colts now showing.
A new sale will be making its debut this year. The
well-organized and professionally run GLL Farms of Col­
lierville, Tennessee will stage their first annual production
sale during the Celebration. The sale will be held on the
GLL property located one mile west of the Shelbyville
City Limits on the Lewisburg Highway.
The featured sire of this sale will be the 1964 World
Grand Champion, CARBON COPY. Many knowledge­
able horsemen have predicted success for this great horje
as a breeding sire and their predictions certainly seem
well-founded. The colts that will be in the sale will be on
