trained WINSTON’S BLACK GAL, a Celebration win ner. Watch for WINSTON’S ZIP CODE when the show season starts. HARBER & CHERRY STABLES Y>arn . ^ storming HAROLD KENNEDY STABLES Harold Kennedy recently informed us of a move he has made. For the past two years he has been head trainer with Manor House Stables in Pulaski, Tennes see, but he has now opened his own training operation at the former Staley Stables in Lewisburg. The facility has over twenty stalls and all necessary equipment for training and caring for top show horses. Consider ed "one of the best” with both young and age horses, Harold will not find difficulty in obtaining a barnful of good stock. Well-known throughout the Walking Horse world, he has trained and ridden some of the truly great stock produced by this breed. He is now open for business and invites his many friends to come visit with him. At the present he has already taken in over a dozen horses for training and is looking forward to a good year next season. When the gate opens, you can be certain that the Harold Kennedy Stables will be well represented. ERNEST SMITH STABLES There is plenty of activity at the Ernest Smith Sta bles near Lynchburg, Tennessee. After a record year with SIR WINSTON, having winners from his get in many shows in several states, Charles and Kenneth Walker are busily breaking colts and getting ready for the 1969 season. Included in those wins mentioned were two cnampions from the 1968 Celebration: Grand Champion Weanling WINSTON’S BLACK LABEL and Champion Three-Year-Old Mare WINSTON’S BLACK GAL.

They have several good fillies, including DELIGHT’S LIZ, a big black filly that’s a full sister to TIGER LILLY. She is by SUN’S DELIGHT and out of a MID NIGHT SUN mare, and is owned by Frank Cole of Brentwood. Also at the stables in Centerville, Tennes see is KERRI’S DELIGHT, also by SUN’S DELIGHT and out of a granddaughter of MIDNIGHT SUN. A pretty black filly, she’s as loose as they come and owner Wilson Brazelton of Nashville is proud of her. MISS DITTO COPY is a black filly owned by Fran Winn and Bill Kuehl, West Bend, Wisconsin. Mr. Winn and Mr. Kuehl purchased her at the Hengen-Lenox Sale during the Celebration. By CARBON COPY and out of a MIDNIGHT SUN mare, she is a beautiful high-headed filly with lots of natural ability. Another black filly is owned by Mrs. Barbara Horn, Hopkinsville, Kentucky - her name is EBONY’S FAS CINATION. She is by EBONY MASTERPIECE out of a LITTLE MERRY BOY mare, and has every indica tion at this point of being a top two-year-old. She war a Futurity Filly. The Harber & Cherry entry in this group of top fi' lies is SHADY LADY. A beautiful chestnut filly b MIDNIGHT MACK K and out of a SOCIETY MA: mare, she has one of the greatest back-ends ever see, on a colt at this time of the year. There are also several two-year-old stallions unde saddle. Among them: MR. G., one of the most beauti ful co lts that Bob has ever had in training. He is al most perfect in conformation, and has a beautiful sor rel color with a mixed mane and tail. By GO BOY’S SHADOW out of a MIDNIGHT MACK K mare, he is owned by Fashion Two Twenty Cosmetics, Aurora, Oh. SECOND CHANCE could be the freak of the year. His breeding is not as elaborate as some of the other colts and his first response to the saddle was certainly more exciting than all the others put together (he practically tore the barn down), but when the dust settles he’ll have to be looked at. He was just recent ly purchased by Bruce Almeida, Kinston, Alabama. Wilson Brazelton co-owns a colt with Harber & Cher ry that was purchased at the Hengen-Lenox Sale. He is by CARBON COPY out of a MERRY BOY mare, and goes by the name of SOLOMON. He was a slow starter but is showing great strides of improvement now, and should make a top colt by mid-summer. This is only part of the 18 colts in training at Har ber & Cherry, but you can see that there is quite a selection. A list of the sires of the colts would include SUN’S DELIGHT, EBONY MASTERPIECE, GO BOY’S SHADOW, MERRY GO BOY, CARBON COPY, MID NIGHT MACK K., SOCIETY PLAYBOY, and others. Bob was certainly proud to announce that they have added Kenneth Lindsey to their staff. In the short time that Kenneth has been with Harber & Cherry, it has become obvious that he has a lot of natural abil ity with Walking Horses. He should be quite an asset to the stables. Bob, Ken, Tom Gordon, Nicky Rochelle and others at Harber & Cherry will be striving for one 28 Voice of the Tennessee Walking Horse
