"SECOND TIME AROUND” EVEN BETTER —
LOOKOUT VALLEY SHOW VERY SUCCESSFUL
More and bigger Walking Horse classes character­
ized the Second Annual Lookout Valley Jaycees Horse
Show, held September 21 at Tiftonia (near Chattanoo­
ga), Tennessee. Attendance was estimated at about
2,000, and entries topped the 1967 figure by 33 hor­
ses, reaching 202. George E. Henson of Winchester,
Tennessee judged the Walking Horse classes, with
Buddy Moore of Shelbyville passing judgement on the
Walking Colts. Announcer George Hull kept the spec­
tators informed, and Mrs. L. Weber Pearson played
the organ with enthusiasm.
WINSTON’S BIG MAN, owned and shown by Bud
Byrom of Tullahoma, took the blue in the Weanling
Halter Class, one of the classes added this year. He
was closely followed by REFLECTION’S RAIDER,
showed by owner Bill Johnston. In the second new
class, Walking Yearling Colts to Halter, EBONY’S
HI FI tied the blue for owners Wallace and Jernigan,
and reserve went to Bill Millard’s WINSTON’S MID­
NIGHT, shown by Bud Byrom.
SHOT’S PRINCESS K. and Dick Harper won the
crown in the Walking Pony Class for R. A. Kinner.
RED MAN, JR. tied the reserve with owner Pam Clip-
pinger up. All the youngsters showed their ponies
well in this popular class.
Mrs. Ann Beveridge of Shelbyville saw Jim Alexan­
der guide her SHADOW’S GO BOY B to a well-deserv­
ed blue over a class of 23 two-year-olds. Otto Hege’s
SUN GLO’S DOCTOR NO took the reserve spot.
Diana Babb’s PAPER TIGER purred his way to a
first in the three-year-old class, with DELIGHT’S
DELIGHT taking the reserve, Bob Cooley up for Mr.
and Mrs. Charles Lee of Madisonville.
In the Amateurs on Walking Horses class, Roy
Pickel proved that SHADOW’S TOP FLIGHT really
deserves his name by taking the blue for owner Bruce
Reynolds. Second in the class of eighteen was MOON­
LIGHT SHADOW, Charles Turner riding for Bedford
Farms.
Triple M Stables’ good mare, PRINCESS SUN­
DANCE, was ably ridden by Billy Morgan to win the
Walking Mares, Four Years and Over Class. She was
given some real competition by LOVE OF GLORY,
with Bob Cooley up for Mr. and Mrs. Leland Bacon of
Rockwood. Karen Bramblett displayed an excellent
command of her horse, SIR HENRY’S TORNADO, as
she topped a class of fifteen Juveniles on Walking
Horses. Taking the red in this class was Sharon Lee
on MAJOR’S BLUE BOY.
The Open Four-Year-Old Walking Class saw ten
good four-year-olds making their bids for the blue
DAWN’S MASTERPIECE, with Casey Jones up for
Bedford Farms, showed three good gaits to capture
the top spot. BEL AIRE’S MASTERPIECE gave him
a good fight and took the reserve, with Wayne Jones
up for Roy Davis of Calhoun, Georgia.
Being one of thirteen horses competing for the Walk­
ing Horse Championship didn’t faze MR. MAGIC, rid­
den by owner Wayne Henry. His only "tricks” were
stamina and style, and he displayed them well to win
this last class of the evening. SKIP’S GO BOY was
with him all the way, and tied a good reserve for
rider David Bledsoe, owners Dr. and Mrs. O. Hugh
Chitwood. Third spot went to MISTER SECRET, with
Tommy Howell up for Sugarloaf Farms of Atlanta,
28
and SHADOW’S SECURITY, Charlie Fuqua up for
Hundley Stables of Ooltewah, tied fourth.
The Lookout Valley Jaycees put a lot of time and
thought into this year’s show - plus the ever-present
hard work - and feel that the returns were worth it.
There is already talk of a third annual show next
fall, and it may have to go into two sessions to ac­
commodate all entries. More about this later.
Complete results can be found in the HORSE SHOW
RESULTS section of this issue.

NEW HAMPSHIRE BOUND: June Kulakowski is pictured holding her new
colt, I’VE ARRIVED, while Sharon Brandon, secretary of the Breeders’
Association, holds the dam, LADY OF HAVEN. June purchased both of
these fine Walkers to take back to New Hampshire and give the breed a
boost in this state. The horses were purchased from C. H. Williamson and
Hickory Hill Farm.
TOP WALKING HORSES PURCHASED;
BOUND FOR NEW HAMPSHIRE
The Northeastern portion of the United States is not
overly populated with Tennessee Walking Horses but
two Walkers were recently purchased and moved to
New Hampshire by an enthusiastic June Kulakowski.
June, who lives in Raymond, N. H., is one of the top
supporters of our breed in this far-off state.
June purchased the Tennessee State Championship
Mare and Colt at the Celebration from C. H. William­
son and Hickory Hill Farm. LADY OF HAVEN is the
mare and the colt is I’VE ARRIVED, by RODGERS
PERFECTION.
June is 17 years old and works her own horses.
She plans to begin working this colt and to eventually
breed him. She has 14 other Walking Horses at her
farm, Gran-Pine Farm, in Raymond.
The mare is back in foal to RODGERS PERFEC­
TION, so June can be expecting another top colt
next year.
