Harvey?

Harvey Lefevers is CORRECT! The horse was Delight's Missy Bell.

After I posted 2 wrong answers, Harvey popped in my mind but thought I don't dare guess again...

College Boy & Sammy Short is correct!

Kibler Farms in Ohio?

Dutch scores his first Who Dat!

That is indeed an aerial view of Kibler Farms of Mt. Orab, Ohio, right across the mighty Ohio River.
Owned by Tom Bohl and the home for many years of Whitey Whitehead Stables.

Smitty,I thought that was Kibler's but it has been many yrs. since I'd been there or seen that pic.That is quite a place,back in the 50's and 60's it was one of the finest in the country.

CORRECTION: Kibler Farms was owned by Mrs. D.O. Kibler as of 1968. Tom Bohl was the Farm Manager.

Smitty.did Tom inherit the farm when Mrs. Kibler passed?That is what I heard.I wonder who ownes it now,did Whitey inherit it from Tom?

Senator69,

I don't know. OHM can probably tell us, since she was just up at the farm last week.

Was Kibler Farm always a THW training facility? I see the oval ring on the left-hand side, but why a round ring on the right?

The round ring appears a little big, but was probably a cantering ring. Most trainers had a cantering ring years ago. Judging from how today's horses canter poorly or not at all, I would say the cantering ring is a thing of the past.

We were talking about a cantering pen/ring recently. What size to you think is best? 50-60 ft?

I would guess 60 foot because that is the size of the circle trainer's have told me to teach the canter in to keep the horse from cantering too fast.

I know but I'll give somone else a try
