SEARS ’ STABLE
There was a blue Texas ' norther ’ blowing outside but inside the Sears ’ Stable in Houston , Texas there was far too much activity and planning for anyone to notice .
Bob Sherrill , able trainer for the Jim Sears family , has fifteen head of show horses in the barn . As if this were not enough work , they also have a remodeling project in the making which will make the barn extremely attractive and serviceable .
The fine bay mare , SHADOW ’ S SWEETHEART , shown formerly by Jim in the amateur classes , will be shown this year by daughter Sherry . This is the result of a switch whereby Sherry ’ s fine , big-striding black mare , GUNSMOKE ’ S DREAM , becomes the show property of her father . Both of these mares are clean , and Jim and Bob have come to the conclusion that everyone who professes to train horses should realize — " the only way to make a show horse is by time spent in the saddle .”
Sears ’ Stable has a fine junior horse in SANDMAN ’ S MISCHIEF . This big black stallion with a blaze made a name for himself as a two-year-old and is now ready to go the big route .
A young rider with a big future ahead is Kim Sears . This young man has just one show season behind him , but his progress is horsemanship and showmanship is spectacular . This season Kim will start on the
show trail on his good gelding , REX GO MAN , but a new mount is in the making . This new mount is the
good four-year-old black mare , SHADOW ’ S COUN TRY GIRL . There is not a two-year-old among the fifteen head at the stable , but they are loaded with talented threes
and fours . The showiest of this age group is a threeyear-old filly , SUN ’ S SOCIETY LADY B , of Celebration halter class fame . She ’ s big , black and beautiful , and just about ready .
The famous JOHNNY REB is at stud at the Sears ’ Stable , and what few colts he has sired thus far are reported to be extremely fine . JOHNNY REB had an injury last season which was difficult to detect , so therefore was not shown , but — he just might find himself back in pads and show shoes very soon .
BOB WOMBLE STALLION STABLES
Two top stallions , SUN ’ S BIG SHOT and KEENE ’ S GO BOY , are now standing at this new operation in Chattanooga , Tennessee . Owner Bob Womble has purchased SUN ’ S BIG SHOT and has a lease arrangement on KEENE ’ S GO BOY with owners Clayton & Hood of Attalla , Alabama .
