The annual Searcy, Arkansas Horse show, sponsored
jointly by the Searcy Civitan Club and the Joe Webb
Riding Camp, has become firmly established as one of
the prominent Walking Horse events of the early sea
son. This year, despite the fact that two days of cold
and rainy weather preceded the show, they noted a
record number of horses and a large attendance. A
fine representation of top stables from the West Ten
nessee area was on hand, as were prominent stables
from Arkansas, Missouri and adjoining states.
Judge for Walking Horse classes was Carl Edwards
from Dawson, Georgia, who did an excellent job.
Announcer O’Neil Howell was backed up in the center
of the ring by the organ music of the charming Carrie
Neal Foy. Manager Joe Webb was kept busy both in
side and outside the ring as he went about seeing
that everything ran smoothly. Official Steward was
Bob Lindsey of Little Rock, Arkansas, who checked
horses outside the ring before each class. It all went
off without a hitch and virtually every horse met the
requirements for participation.
Additional entertainment was furnished by “cow
boy” Ken Bowen and his trick horse show. Ken trav
els around the country as a feature attraction for such
!
