hinds lor queenie and it was soon a familiar sight to see a proud little girl riding around in a gig drawn by the two shetland ponies accompanied by her parents or per haps by her grandmother mcmillan wro incidentally shares the family love for horses that winter the mcmillan stable was increased to three with the addition of heromolne chief a hackney horse ot good breeding whose sire had been imported from england a cutter was also purchased and many a sleigh ride on frosty winter nights was enjoyed by the family first year in show btaf in 1043 ken got the bug to exhibit at some of the fall fairs and in his first season in the ring valuable ex perlenco was gained which led to the past season s victory record at thanksgiving time warwick princess purchased at a mate for herom olne

has rapidly developed into a grade a driver and has beaten some of the best lady drivers in the province at the kincardine pall pair she came second in a class of six a noteworthy ac hievement for a novice competing against the skill and experience of the oj tuners in the majority o towns a pleasant feature of the competition has been the entertainment offered by the local hnptpy kponqnrlntt the show the extol- f r watson bitors through frequent meel have grotwn to know and like each other and there is a spirit of camar- adle a spirit however which is sus pended while the show is on for then it is every man for himself and may the best man win 1944 hlxhlixht the biggest thrill this year was when the red ribbon was pinned on heromolne chief at forgo and oran- gevllle where the leading hackneys in ontario were competing for the hon our as for the outstanding horse shows ken nominates teeswater erin and st catharines as the best he attended behind the scenes to give credit where it is due we must look behind the scenes for it is still true that a horse is only as good as his trainer the right hand men in the mcmillan stable are john dever- eaux and mark given two men who know and love horses ken is unstint ing in his praise of these two whose glooming and training has been of material help in winning prizes an- other important feature is the excel lent accommodation the horses have in the large air conditioned stable at glendronoch farm owned by a to ronto mining man douglas o h wright and his wife the horses are now enjoying a well earned winter rest at the farm in preparation for another big season of shows in 194b a boost lor georgetown btsldti the pleasure which the mc millans have derived from their ven ture into show business the town pro- pe has received
