ON THE MASON-DIXON LINE

The Walking Horse shows in this part of the country
are sure picking up in the calibre of horses and the
way these shows are being judged. Winchester, Ken­
tucky had Jim Baldwin who called horses as he saw
them. Burlington, the Ohio Valley Show, was judged
by Toby Green and Higginsport, Ohio by Junior Gor­
don. Both were expertly judged. A1 White outdid him­
self in the managing of the Higgensport show, one
which should get bigger and better. Now we are look­
ing forward to the Boone County Fair, Dayton; and
Butler County show, Sportsman’s Club, Hamilton, O.
Also, I don’t want to overlook the fine job that Bob
Russman did in Hamilton last week!
Despite the extra amount of work that it takes, it
has really been fun keeping the horses clean and pre­
sentable. It sure is a challenge but seems to be pay­
ing off.
Our compliments go to Herman Ingram with TOM­
MY TELL who seems to get getting better at each
show. Keep up the good work!
We have been fortunate to have Lee Jones with us
this year and his junior horse is a real addition to our
stable. He has been challenging every junior class and
winning his share. We predict that he will hit the big
time and stay there. Next big show is Dayton and
then on to the Celebration. Watch for him!
Another big challenger in our area is that high-
stepping two-year-old of Damon Dunaway’s. This is a
big black high-going DELIGHT colt that is first or
second every time out. We hope Damon can keep him
going because this colt is a credit to any trainer.
Helen Cobb is tickled to death — her MACK K’S
KITTY just had a beautiful filly by BLACK RHYTHM.
From the way Helen talks, this colt may turn out to
be a world’s champion. We’ll be watching for her with­
in the next few years.
I’m glad to see that the plantation classes have
been added to many of the shows in this area. There
have been many fine entries in these classes and I
hope that they continue. To me, this could come to
be one of the great classes which are so much fun,
not only to show in but also to see.
