SCRIVNER STABLES
From the Sonny Scrivner Stables in Rogersville,
Missouri comes word of a number of new horses that
have been placed in training. The stable now has
twenty-three horses in training. Bill Kissee of Ozark
has an outstanding four-year-old stallion that they
recently selected in Tennessee. SUN’S SHADOW, by
MIDNIGHT SUN and out of a SHADOW mare, cer­
tainly has the breeding and the natural ability to
make a top stallion. REBEL’S REPEAT, a chestnut
two-year-old gelding, also made the trip to Missouri
for Bill. This beautiful, fine colt is by MACK K’S
REBEL out of a MACK K mare.
Mr. and Mrs. Marvin Turner, Stockton, have brought
their chestnut gelding, SID’S LAST CHANCE, to be
readied for the show season. This double-bred MIS­
SOURI CHANCE gelding will be shown some by the
Turners and should do very well for them.
SHADOW’S SOLITUDE is a fine four-year-old stal­
lion that belongs to Mr. and Mrs. Jerry Kirksey of
Houston. This horse has been shown sparingly and
his best is yet to be seen. He is roan and has a great
way of coming and going.
One of the truly great sons of MIDNITE PLEASURE
R.G. is MIDNIGHT WORLD NEWS, owned by Mr.
and Mrs. George Clarkson of Republic. This black
gelding is very consistent and will certainly be a
threat in his classes.
Clifford Birchfield has brought a very nice sorrel
coming two-year-old filly to be broke. Another new
two-year-old filly is by NIGHT TRAIN and is owned
by Coy Brooks of Fordland.
NICHOLS STABLE
We now have working horses for us a man who
came to our stables in February from Cookeville,
Tennessee. Neil Clark has formerly trained at stables
in Texas and North Carolina as well as in Tennessee.
He is a native of middle Tennessee and comes from
a family experienced in the horse business.
We are working about twenty-five horses at this
time and, of course, this is the home of the great sire,
POPE’S SON OF MIDNIGHT.
Neil is now working four two-year-old colts and all
appear to be good prospects. He also has four three-
year-old colts which are very good prospects. We are
working several good age horses including the great
amateur horse, DREAM AT MIDNIGHT, that has
won many classes with Debbie Pollard in the saddle.
A good MERRY BOY mare is now being groomed
and two very fine prospects, MYSTERY’S COMMAND
and MYSTERY’S SECRET, are being readied for stud
& gelding and stake classes.
Debbie is presently in her fourth year at college and
working very hard, but hopes to find some time this
spring and summer to help with riding and showing.

SUN’S QUARTERBACK MOVED TO HAROLD
WISE STABLES; TO STAND ALONGSIDE
WORLD CHAMPION SON, TRIPLE THREAT
SUN’S QUARTERBACK, sire of 1965 World Grand
Champion TRIPLE THREAT, has been moved to
stand alongside his World Champion son at the Har­
old Wise Stables in Lewisburg, Tennessee. QUARTER­
BACK has been a consistent producer of top horses
for years.
He had been standing at the Buddy Hugh Stables
in Shelbyville, Tennessee before being moved by own­
er Hewitt Bordelon of LaFayette, Louisiana. Mr. Bor­
delon announced that he has lowered the stud fee on
the horse to S100. It had been S150.
These two top sires should prove to be extremely
popular in Lewisburg. QUARTERBACK is a bay stal­
lion offering the finest in MIDNIGHT SUN blood plus
excellent conformation and manners.
TRIPLE THREAT has also proven himself as a
breeding horse, having sired the great TRIPLE
THREAT AGAIN.
Mr. Bordelon and Harold Wise invite the public to
go by and see this father-and-son team now standing
together in Lewisburg.
BLACK HAWK STABLES
At the Black Hawk Stables, new trainer Howard
Roberts is a busy young man as he goes about the
task of preparing the stable’s 12 head of fine young
horses for the coming season.
Heading the stable’s six fine two-year-old entries
will be NAMRON’S SIR ATOM, a beautiful sorrel
stud. This colt is the possessor of great speed, lots of
motion, and perfect form at all times. He has been
seen by many of the area’s top horsemen and every­
one predicts that great things are in store for him.
Howard is also working five three-year-olds, with
the leading contender of this group being BLACK
GUNSMOKE, a big-doing, jet-black gelding by SUN’S
GUNSMOKE who was a blue-ribbon winner in his
only showring appearance for owner B. J. Hecker, Jr.
The only Junior horse in the barn is the great
young mare, HANDSHAKER’S JOY. This bold-going
mare just keeps getting better and better, and there
