DONALD PASCHAL STABLES
10
Over in Woodbury , Tennessee , Donald Paschal and his assistant Carlton Pitts have a fine string of horses that are ready for the " gate to open .” They have been working hard all winter and it really shows up on their stock . Donald has several headliners that are destined to make a mark on the records this year The big talk at the present is the amazing comebark of GO BOY ’ S CHATTERBOX . This age stallion was purchased from Vic Thompson by Dr . C . L . Sexton of Florence , South Carolina , shortly after the Celebration last year . Donald worked him for us and we were truly pleased with his performance . He was working free and easy , with a small pair of boots , and he is clean as a whistle . Don ’ t take our word for this next statement ... go see for yourself ! CHATTERBOX has grown at least two or three inches since last vear and has put on over a hundred pounds . He doesn ’ t look like the same horse that we saw tie fourth at the Celebration . Whatever class he is shown in this year ... he will be a strong contender . ' Ji “
