HERITAGE STABLES
H . Monroe Evans , Jr . is pleased to announce that the permanent training and breeding facilities of his Heritage Stable in San Antonio , Texas are near completion . This project has been well organised from the start and attention has been given to every detail . The selection of a beautiful wooded area for this
stable has proven to be quite an attraction . The barn is built of cedar with white trimmings . Included in the
facilities will be rings of various shapes and sizes designed to increase a horse ’ s versatility and cornering
at faster speeds . Work areas , tailor-made to the trainer ’ s needs , have been provided . The equestrian and
equestrienne find that their comfort has not been neglected : lounges and patios make their life easier , too . The horses now in training at the temporary training area will be transferred to the permanent barn shortly . We are pleased to report that we are receiving letters and long-distance inquiries daily . San Antonio has provided the stable with a warm welcome and horsemen ’ s enthusiasm has been mounting . Capacity will be kept at a minimum to serve each horse with maximum attention . Several buyers have been traveling throughout the country to buy some of the best young stock available .
According to the Tennessee Walking Horse Breeders ’ Association , there were on January 1 , 1968 7,500 registered Tennessee Walking Horses and 2,500 members of the Association living in Texas alone . It is Mr . Evans ’ intention to provide these people with a facility to enjoy their horses and others . We have an optimistic appraisal of the future of Walking Horses in this part of the country . We hope that our promotion of the breed will open an understanding to a wider public .
JIMMY WADDELL STABLES This stable in Brownsville , Tennessee is really humming these days with nineteen horses to work , and brood mares and their colts to tend . Jimmy took a few minutes to tell us about some of the horses he s readying for the shows this year , and it sounds like he ’ s after the blues all the way .
In the twoyear-old classes he will be showing a red roan CARBON COPY filly , COPY ’ S DANCER , owned by Jim Nelms of Nashville . She ' s a half-sister to the very good SHADOW ’ S DANCER , and Jimmy is expecting great things of her . He is also working a RODGERS PERFECTION colt for Dr . John Die^oi Houston , Mississippi . This chestnut colt , out ol a OU BOY ’ S SHADOW mare , has lots of ability . Iwo bUA s DELIGHT two-year-olds are attracting attention : a black stud colt , DELIGHT ' S ROMEO , owned by Jack Johnson of Brownsville , tied first at the Humboldt Strawberry Festival and third at Columbia , chestnut filly , LADY DELIGHT , owned by Brooksie Sanderson of Jackson , tied first in hei c as ?
Jimmy is working the good three-year-old mare .
June , 1968
; BON \ S MARCH WIND , for S . W . Beech . This chestnut beauty took her class at the Futurity in 1967 and won the three-year-old mare class at the Columbia bpring Jubiiee . she ’ s by EBONY MASTERPIECE out of a MERRY GO BOY mare . For Dr . R . E . Baney of Kansas City , Missouri , Jimmy is showing the black three-year-old stud , SHADOW ’ S GO BOY . He also brought home a blue from the Humboldt Strawberry Festival . PERFECTION ’ S BLAZE , a bay roan ROD GERS PERFECTION mare , is for sale — she ’ s broke and gentle , and Jimmy says she would make somebody a mighty nice Amateur mare .
Carl Jones of Jackson has SHADOW ’ S BLUE AN GEL , an age mare , in training with Jimmy . She was tied to the blue at Henderson , Tennessee , and Jimmy plans to show her " all over ” this year . Another age mare at the Waddell Stables is the famous LADY GODIVA , who continues to take the blues for ownerrider Mrs . Frank Parnell of Newbern , Tennessee . So far this year this pair has taken firsts at Henderson ( Open Amateur ) and Columbia ( Amateur Mare ), and placed second at Lewisburg . Frank Parnell is showing his black age stud , DARK MAGIC , and they plan to
go for a lot of blues this season .
SPUR ’ S SUMMER JET , a half-brother to SPUR ’ S SUMMER DREAM , is Chester C . Coon ’ s age stud that Jimmy keeps in top shape for the shows . He ’ s a sorrel by SUN ’ S JET PARADE , and Jimmy says he ’ s looking good . Two-year-olds pass the magic date of January 1 and must learn to canter — Sherrill Marks passed her magic date and now she ’ s not a juvenile any more . She will be showing her age gelding , GO BOY ’ S JET , in Ladies Amateur classes from now on . JET , faithful to the name , is black , and will undoubtedly do as well in the Amateur ranks as he did in the Juveniles .
In addition to the horses he ’ s working , Jimmy is looking after eight brood mares , five with colts on the ground . He has colts by SUN ’ S BLACK LABEL , MIDNIGHT SECRET and MERRY GO BOY , and is looking forward to starting some good stock this fall .
If you ’ re around Brownsville , go by and see Jimmy Waddell . If you can get him down off whichever horse he ’ s working at the moment , he can show you some top stock . If he won ’ t come down , just watch for him at the shows — he ’ ll be there with his usual line of top contenders !
MACK MOTES STABLES
Mack Motes is busy this time of year working some top stock in his new stables in Shelbyville .
