CANDID OF THE WEEK
Cohen Abernathy and Morgan McCormick shared a candid moment at the recent National Trainers’ Show. These are two individuals that have literally grown up in the Walking Horse industry and continue supporting it today. They are the future and great young ambassadors for our horse industry.
Anne Kellam Nicks Williams Rochelle, born September 17th, 1930, passed away on March 30th, 2021. Widow of the late James M. Rochelle, she was born and raised in Dickson, Tennessee, the daughter of Carl and Ida Clement Nicks. She was a 1948 graduate of the Ward-Belmont Preparatory School in Nashville. After marrying the late Dr. John O. Williams, Jr., she travelled the world as the wife of a Marine. She lived for a period of time on the Isle of Bermuda, one of her fondest memories that she loved to share with friends and acquaintances alike. Once her husband graduated medical school, they settled in Mt. Pleasant, Tennessee, where they raised five sons. he was very active in the community, the A , and with irst United Methodist Church of Mt. Pleasant. A woman who truly valued southern traditions and proper presentation, she was known in her family for her delicious sweet tea and incredible coconut and caramel cakes. She never met a stranger and was known for her outgoing and engaging personality. After her boys were grown, she j oined her second husband in business, helping to run Broadway Discount Liquors in Gallatin, Tennessee, for over 20 years. She was the type of strong, Southern woman who was j ust as at home at a dinner party for 20, as she was behind the counter at her family business. She will be remembered for her hospitality, love of entertaining, and the kindness she showed everyone she met.

A quick steaming will remove wrinkles. Make every effort to develop a good relationship with a reputable dry cleaner, to protect your investment. Suggest that your garments be cleaned with fresh fluid. Used or old fluid will not remove some spots and/or stains, and may actually discolor many fabrics. Do not use club soda or nail polish remover. They can aggravate the stain making it impossible to remove. N ev er pr es s a s t ai n on a n y ga r m ent as t he s t ai n m ay become permanently set.

Suzanne Reynolds Is Whistlin’ Blues
When one experiences a moment that takes their breath away, the mind and heart tend to safely tuck it away, making it a memory to relive over and over. One of those moments took place on Friday evening, M arch 18th during the recent National Trainers’ Show. It was a moment that Suzanne R eynolds wants to remember forever. After 15 years of being away from the Tennessee Walking Horse industry, Suzanne entered the show ring with hope and exited the show ring with a blue ribbon. The win occurred in the Pro/ Am class while sharing the reins with trainer, Jo rdan C audill. The background portion of this story is a major part of understanding the full impact this moment played in Suzanne’s life. Suzanne and her brother, E ddie, were raised by their parents Acie and Kate Walker in C hatham, V irginia. L ike many in the Walking Horse industry, Suzanne grew up loving horses. She always had a passion to learn as much as she could about them. While many of her schoolmates had horses, Suzanne’s family did not, but they were still very involved. E ach year when the Bright L eaf C elebration came around, Acie Walker would be found cooking the chicken in the V FW booth, her brother E ddie served as the runner and Suzanne presented the ribbons. In fact, Suzanne was so mesmerized by the beautiful breed that she would collect as many of the braided show ribbons that she could after each class. As years went by, Suzanne continued to be around horses, but did not own one until after she married Henry. They purchased a Spotted Walking Horse named R usty. This purchase was something Suzanne had dreamed of her entire life. The R eynolds

Family consists of Henry, Suzanne and their children Je romy, eather and e an. ll en o ed horses so ust was definitel a loved animal. M egan eventually developed an interest in the padded Walking Horse, so after some searching, the family owned their first per or an e horse. This horse would soon throw a curve ball in Suzanne’s horse plans. Once she rode it, she loved it and she was hooked. Suzanne suddenly found herself competing against her peers and decided to reach out to other female riders for advice; one being Debbie Simpson. Suzanne credits Debbie with showing her so much about riding, exhibiting and presenting a padded Walking Horse. Suzanne’s respect for Debbie’s work ethic and “magic hands” is abundant. Debbie is the daughter of Walking Horse trainer W.D. Tosh so the skills came naturally. As days passed, Suzanne felt it was time to get more serious about competing. She had the skills and the knowledge to compete, but she needed the right horse. After a trip to Southridge Farms in Shelbyville, Tennessee, the family owned a new horse, Beam’s Warstorm. This purchase connected Suzanne with Paul C ampbell. He was very good with amateurs and taught her more technical skills about padded horses. There were also other horses that were special to the R eynolds Family. Two of those were Touche’ Touche’ and M asterpiece By C ash. While everyone in the family continued showing, the enjoyment of the sport was diminishing for Suzanne. A burnout was

quickly approaching as she trained, exhibited, groomed, ran the errands and got everyone’s show clothes prepared. This did not include the chores of her daily routines with family, home and farm work. It was at the R aleigh State Fair Horse Show that she rode out of the ring and hung her spurs up for the last time. She was done. Throughout Suzanne’s absence from the show ring, the R eynolds Family grew. The kids married and now have families of their own, giving Henry and Suzanne 8 grandchildren. It just so happened, that one of those grandchildren played an important role in Suzanne’s return. Five-year-old Harper loves horses and wanted to learn to ride. Suzanne and the family always talked about their past involvement with horses, and the grandchildren still love hearing those stories, especially the ones about their M iM i and PaPa winning. The horse fever has been passed down to a new generation which includes young Harper. Her parent’s searched for a riding instructor and found one. Her name is Debbie Simpson. Through Harper’s riding lessons, Debbie and Suzanne were reconnected and the rest is history.

With some encouragement from Henry, Debbie and other family members, Suzanne decided to return to competitive showin . ast all the uest be an to find the ri ht horse. n Ja nuary, Suzanne visited Kentucky and rode Whistlin’ Dixie. The talented stallion consumed Suzanne’s thoughts while on her search for a new horse. Suzanne discussed others with Henry and Debbie but she kept going back to Whistlin’ Dixie. She fondly recalls the moment after she rode him. “It was an instant connection. I stood in the cross-ties with him and talked to him like he was a human. I told him I would own him one day. I wasn’t sure of the time, but I knew in my heart, from that moment, I would own Whistlin’ Dixie.”

After a sleepless night trying to make a purchase decision, she prayed and asked God to remove the stallion from her thoughts if it wasn’t meant to be. The next day, the horse was still on her mind so she asked Henry to call and see if they could possibly purchase a percentage of him. He soon returned with the verdict. Suzanne owned Whistlin’ Dixie. Not a small percentage, but all of him. Suzanne’s one request was Debbie be part of the journey. Debbie was honored and is now part-owner of Whistlin’ Dixie. The partnership decided while preparing for a new journey they would keep the horse in Kentucky.

While getting ready for the 2021 show year, it was decided that the National Trainers’ Show would be their first stop. During their preparation time, Suzanne discovered that Brad Beard started the horse, and soon after, he went to Blaise Broccard. She credits these two trainers for developing the stallion’s natural talents from his beginning and making him a great contender. As the National Trainers’ Show arrived, so did the excitement. The plan was to put Debbie in the Four Year Old Amateur class, but as everyone knows, plans are apt to change. On the Friday of the Trainers’ Show, Suzanne was informed that she would be showing that evening. Because she wasn’t expecting to ride, she didn’t bring her show clothes. Following some very quick purchases and about 8 minutes of saddle time (and some nerve-settling advice from Debbie), Suzanne entered the show ring after a 15 year absence and rode out with a blue ribbon aboard her horse of a lifetime, Whistlin’ Dixie. It was a moment that brought tears of joy, followed by many hugs in the winners’ circle. After the Trainers’ Show, Suzanne and Debbie are returning full circle and decided to train together again. Whistlin’ Dixie will be campaigned in the Amateur Four Year Old Stallions division this year. One thing is for certain; don’t count out this “Girl Power” partnership. With their work ethic, their enthusiasm, their skills and their talented stallion, great things are bound to happen. The Scoop congratulates Suzanne on her remarkable comeback and we wish her, Debbie and Whistlin’ Dixie continued success.
