BAILEY-MONTGOMERY
DISSOLVES PARTNERSHIP
Go Boy’s Shadow Moved to Beech Stables to Stand
In a recent letter to the VOICE, Mr. H. C. Bailey,
representing himself and Mr. and Mrs. Jack Montgom­
ery, announced that the farm on the Lewisburg High­
way in Shelbyville, formerly known as the Bailey -
Montgomery Stables, has been divided and that GO
BOY’S SHADOW, owned exclusively by Mr. and Mrs.
H. C. Bailey, was being moved to the S. W. Beech
Stables in Lewisburg to stand at stud. He further
pointed out that the farm had been divided and that
Mr. and Mrs. Montgomery own the property, including
the house and the stable, on the north side of the
road. The Baileys own the property on the south side
and the horse named SHADOW’S GOLD BOND is
now owned by them.
It is understood that both factions will remain in
the horse field and that dissolving the partnership
was strictly business, with the Baileys and the Mont­
gomery's looking forward to many more years of asso­
ciation and friendship in the Walking Horse business.
We have not received any statement from Mr. Mont­
gomery as to the status of his stable facilities. At the
present Mr. Mack Motes has twenty stalls leased and
is working show horses out of this barn. This is a fine
working stable and is best remembered as the Win­
ston Wiser Stable. It was here that Mr. Wiser made
some of the great horses of the breed before his
death in 1961. Bailey and Montgomery purchased
the property shortly thereafter and it has been a
major breeding farm ever since.
CUMBERLAND VALLEY
WALKING HORSE STABLES
The cold weather in Pennsylvania has made out­
door working of horses a very rare occurrence, but
the work goes on inside at the Cumberland Valley
Stables located just outside Harrisburg. Charles Mul­
lins, owner-trainer, has some of the finest facilities in
the country.
The horses from Cumberland Valley had a real fine
show season in 1967, including a fine finish with a
big win by Charlie and MISS TREVA at the Pennsyl­
vania National in the Mare Class. This mare is owned
by Mr. and Mrs. John Corbett of Clear Springs Mary
land. The palomino gelding, ARTHUR J’S CHANCE
owned by Arthur Hendrickson and the Stable finished
his year with a hard-won blue in the Ladies’class at
the Harrisonburg, Virginia Show. Since the end of the
show season this horse has made real progress and
by spring rider Nonie Hawkins should be ready to
show you even more.

Mr. and Mrs. Herb Stemer’s horse, GOLDEN MA
JOR, a palomino gelding, had a winning year all
season and topped it off with a fourth-place
the Stud and Gelding Class at HarrisbuJ bb°n
in
- also
oiort have a nice bay mare in fra? . The
Sterners
trammg at
Cumberland Valley.
GO BOY’S MIDNIGHT MIST, owned by Lou Sh*
mon, had a real good year, tying no lower than fa*'
in seven outings. Mr. Shinnamon also has a good Urth
mare in training in addition to a coming two-year5?!
colt that is supposed to be a real top horse ja d
Juliano has three horses in training with Chari**
One is a coming two-year-old that is very well hi
and can really go. Charlie has high hopes for this fine
horse.
GO BOY’S SPOTLIGHT, owned by Lincoln Shelton
was the flag horse at the Pennsylvania National with
L. W. Crist up. This fine black stud was shown onl
three times in 1967, winning one reserve and two
thirds. He will be shown more next season and should
be a real contender.
Mr. Crist will start showing his DIXIE’S MIDNIGHT
BOY next year. Charlie showed this roan gelding with
good success as a four-year-old this year. Mr. Beuford
Seville has a nice roan mare in training that he ex­
pects to ride some next year. Another of the fine
coming two-year-old colts is owned by Mr. A. T Per
sonius. The colt is by SOUVENIR’S JET.
The Dale Hildebrandts have a real fine coming
three-year-old stallion called GO GIRL’S MIDNIGHT
STAR. Mrs. Hildebrandt will show GO BOY’S FIRE­
FLY next year, while seven-year-old daughter Cathy
will be aboard GLORY’S CHIEFTAN.
Visitors are always welcome at the Cumberland
Valley Stables, and an attractive lounge and hot cof­
fee make visiting a pleasure.
MEL NORMAN STABLES
Bob Gilmore has just recently become the head
trainer at the Mel Norman Stables in Battle Creek,
Michigan. He and assistant trainer Charlie Embry
are dividing their time between the Norman barn
and Dr. M. J. Capron’s operation "about two miles
down the road.” Both barns have room for more
horses, and would be willing to accept outside stock.
Bob is very interested in Mr. Norman’s two-year-
old SUN’S PAYOFF filly (out of a MERRY BOY mare)
and thinks she’ll develop into a really top show horse.
With only sixty days’ work she is walking and, to
quote Mr. Norman, "shaking her head off.”
PIDDLY’S HANDSHAKER, six-year-old gelding, is
coming along well, as is Pam Norman’s MR. MOON-
GLOW, also a six-year-old gelding.
If you are ever around Tullahoma, Tennessee and
especially like EBONY MASTERPIECE, you shou d
stop and ask Junior Anderson to work a four-year-ol
black mare for you. She has the looks and that way oi
going that only EBONY MASTER
