is a black roan that has been shown six times to tie
three blues and two reds. He said not to mention the
single fifth-place ribbon that they got, so we won’t.
Thanks, Joe!
MARWOOD FARMS
Trainer Dick Myers is busy working a barn full of
fine stock at the ‘all-new Marwood Farms in Stuarts
Draft, Virginia. Dick came to work for owners Joyce
and Marvin Humphries in February.
Dick is certainly not a newcomer to the Walking
Horse world. He was formerly assistant trainer to
David Welsh at the Beaumont Stables in Stuarts
Draft, owned by Dr. and Mrs. T. L. Gorsuch, and
then moved with David to Oaks Corners, New York
and the Leeswood Stables, owned by Mr. and Mrs.
Cebem Lee. He later moved to Breezy Hill Farms in
Haymarket, Virginia as trainer for Mr. and Mrs. J. D.
Stokely. Dick has the reputation of being the finest
young trainer around for developing and showing young
horses, and his stock proves it.
Dick is presently working fifteen horses. For two-
year-old classes he has a good sorrel stud named
SOUVENIR’S WONDER by GO BOY’S SOUVENIR for
S. J. Bell of Haymarket. SUN’S BEST SON is a big
bold black two-year-old stud by MIDNIGHT SUN own­
ed by C. N. Elam of Powhatan. J. D. Stokely of Hay­
market has a fine two-year-old filly by GO BOY’S JIM
DANDY which is working nicely.
In the three-year-old division, J. D. Stokely has JIM
DANDY’S GO BOY, one of the finest three-year-olds
in the country. He is black, bold and beautiful, and
proved himself as a two-year-old by winning at Harris­
burg, Pa.; Quentin, Pa.; the Washington International;
Broadway, Va.; and many more. He is continuing his
winning ways as a three-year-old by winning Quentin.
Pa.; Broadway, Va.; Gretna, Va. and Norfolk, Va. Dick
has brought him along slowly and carefully. You will
be hearing more about this horse later.
Dick is also working a great four-year-old by B. MA­
JOR WILSON named MAJOR’S MIGHTY MAN. He is
owned by Mr. and Mrs. C. Nick Elam, Jr. and Mr. and
Mrs. M. E. Humphries. MAJOR is a big, black, hand
some stud, standing 16-2, and is running over with
motion. For the aged mare class Dick is showing ;
pretty bay mare named GO BOY’S DOLLY, owned b;
Marwood Farms, and MISS TREVA, a beautiful blac
mare owned by Mr. and Mrs. John Corbett and Ba:
bara of Clear Springs, Maryland. For open classes h
is showing CRIMSON SUN, a big airy-going sorri
stud by MIDNIGHT SUN, and BLACK GOLD SEh
SATION, a black stud that has been tied well in th<
ribbons all year, both owned by Marwood Farms.
As for the amateur horses at the barn, W. T. Dettor
of Charlottesville owns JEFFERSON’S SHADOW, a
black gelding that is a top contender in the amateur
classes. Mrs. T. L. Gorsuch of Waynesboro has a nice
blue roan gelding, SOUVENIR’S BLUE, that she has
been showing in the amateur and open classes this
year. J. D. Stokely has been doing real well with GO
BOY’S WHIPLASH this season. THE BUMBLE BEE
is making his way with his new owner, Miss Joyce
Hanger of Staunton, in the Ladies Classes. Samuel
St. Clair of Monrovia, Maryland has a fine four-year-
old black mare by MERRY GO BOY in training with
Dick, and she is working nicely.
At the first sign of trouble, reach for
America’s number one veterinary liniment-
Trouble Areas
ABSORBINE
Sore shin
Thrush
For over 70 years, Absorbine has proved
effective in relief of bog spavin, windgall,
ringbone, sores and bruises. That's why at
the first sign of trouble, experienced horse­
men put Absorbine to work.
Absorbine can be applied right on
strained tendons and other trouble areas to
reduce lameness and swelling. It instantly
starts drawing out soreness. Never causes
loss of hair or blistering, either. And it’s anti­
septic. No other liniment has Absorbine's
combination of fungicidal
ingredients.
Only a few ounces of
Absorbine in a pail of water
makes an excellent wash for
cooling out your horses.
There's no better way to
keep horses in top condi­
tion. Buy Absorbine at drug­
gists or whenever veterinary
products are sold.
