WHOA Show • Brownsville, KY
November 6
Full results are available in our Show Results column.
WHOA wrapped up its Kentucky Show Season with a flourish
in Brownsville Kentucky November
6th. What can we say except “we dun
good!” AND YAHOO ITS OVER
FOR 2016!!!!! 13 Shows averaged
189 entries per show! November 6th,
the Brownsville Show boosted 214
entries on a cool, windy day while
Franklin the day before had 141 good
walking horses come thru the entry
gate.
A huge thank you to the Edmonson County Saddle Club for always
having the show grounds clean and
ready for the WHOA Staff with
tables, chairs, etc. ALTHOUGH I
DID HAVE TO PROVIDE THE
ROCKS to hold down the papers
that flew around in the wind. Thanks
to the Saddle Club and the 4 H
Club for providing really good tasty,
refreshments made available in the
concession stand - the funnel cake
is THE BEST! Don’t know who left
the sacks of candy on the announcer
stand but Tommy, myself, and several
others really enjoyed the treats! I
would thank you but have NO IDEA
who gifted us with the delicious
treats. SOOOOO consider yourself
thanked!
Thanks to Larry and Dan Starnes
for having obstacles available for
the Trail Obstacle Classes at all the
Kentucky Shows and most of the
Tennessee Shows. What a help Larry,
Dan, Vic Gernt, Scott Keene and J.J.
Walters were in setting up and taking
down obstacles, poles, barrels, and
western riding necessities. You guys
were a wonderful help and I truly
appreciate you from the bottom of
my heart.
Larry and Linda Starnes donated
the trophies for both the “HONEY
SHOWS” and deserve a giant thank
you for those coveted “trophies” and
the Starnes were instrumental in
making the Edmonson Saddle Club
Show Grounds available for WHOA.
We wound down the show season
with a sigh of relief for the safe and
wonderful season we experienced
and although WE (at least Tommy
and I) are ready for a week-end off
we will miss our trips to Kentucky
and reuniting with our horsey
friends. I just can not brag on this
show circuit ENUFF! I have met
and made such good friends and
the horses have improved drastically. Now if you get a ribbon on the
Kentucky circuit you know you have
a very nice walking horse. It will be
a long cold (hopefully WET) winter and I will miss seeing everyone
but look forward to Spring and new
horses. It will be FUN to see the yearlings from this year showing under
saddle as two-year-olds!

1. Ronald and Debbie Smothers of Nicholasville KY with just one of her many blue ribbon winner this past summer. This handsome fellow
is Gi Gi’s Got Spots, the Weanling Winner.
2. Alan Calendor with the best ribbon girl all day, Brianna Calendor. Alan brought several horses from the Bobby Richards Stables where
he is currently assisting Bobby with the training and this talented trainer left with SEVERAL blue ribbons. NICE HORSES! His daughters,
Brianna and Hazel helped me give out the ribbons. Both girls were very well mannered and polite and a real help.
3. Young Hannah Starnes, 3rd generation of Starnes to show at the Brownsville Show, exited with a 3rd place ribbon aboard Rebelation
who was “almost” as tired as Hannah was by this time. She could hardly hold her eyes open but managed to guide “Bud” around the ring
unassisted. Congratulations!
