Show t - THE CITIZEN - THURSDAY, FEB. (. 1575 Horse Owners Form Auctions There is an unusual movement spreading all across the nation among horse owners. It is in the form of stallion service auctions. A stallion owner will give free of charge, one breeding service on his stallion to a club or organization. The regular breeding fee may vary anywhere from $50 to $11,000. The club retains whatever they are able to sell the breeding service for. There are hundreds of these service auctions being held all over the United States. Probably the foremost and most unusual stal lion service auction in the world is being organized and held right here in Utah. It is The Klite of the World Stallion Service Auction. It includes the best and most famous Quarter Horse, Thoroughbred and Appaloo-s- a stallions in the nation. Participating stallions are troni as far away as Honda, California, Texas, New York, etc. Some of our own magnificent local stallions will be participating in this with the other great ones from across the country. From ('ache County, Willard Jessop's, fine Appaloosa stallion Custus Hand, will be in the auction. He has been the high point Appaloosa stallion four years in a row in the Kridgerland Appaloosa Horse- - Club. In 1972, he was high point stallion in the Intermountain area. This auction is very unique from all the others. Most of the money derived from this auction is going to establish a very large purse for a yearling halter futurity and a western pleasure futurity. The prize money is expected to exceed $2,500. Appaloosa foals bred by successful bidders at the auction will automatically be two-year-o- eligible to compete in the futurities for the prize money. The halter futurity will be held when the colts are yearlings. At this time, people from as far away as Florida, California, Texas, New York and all nearby states will come to Utah with their horses to compete for the prize money. A halter futurity winner is determined by the horses being exhibited before a judge and spectators. The judge evalu- ates the horses' build, muscles, bone structure, and appearance to determine which one is best in his opinion. In The Elite of the World Futurities, there will be several judges working at the same time, so the final results will be a composite of their opinions. The following year, all the eligible horses may compete again. This time, they will be ridden in a western pleasure class. The judges will determine which horse has the smoothest gaits and action. They also judge which one gives the rider the easiest and most pleasurable ride. The key to entering these elite futurities is to buy a breeding service at the Elite of the World Stallion Service Auction, Feb. 8, 7:00 p.m., at the Golden Spike Coliseum in Ogden, Utah. There will.be services to outstanding Thor- oughbreds, Quarter Hrses, and Appaloosas. It is sponsored by the Utah Appaloosa Horse Club. You may obtain more information from any of the afore mentioned persons, or from Joseph M. Sweat, Chairman, Sandy, Utah. Phone: .. Bobcats Go Against Lakers Friday Night Can the Bobcats get unshelved and take their rightful place in Region One basketball competition? That question will be answered Friday night when the Sky View welcome mat is rolled out for the Bonneville Lakers. The Bobcats meet the Lakers in a 7:30 p.m. Smithfield game. Coach Gary Swans team, with a 8 record on the season, will either rise to the occasion of roll over and die against the tall and talented Lakers. With four games left on the schedule, the Bobcats can little afford to waste an opportunity of knocking off a kingpin on its home floor. Of course if such an upset should be made, the Bobcats, in region play, would have to turn around and face in Roy the following week 6-- 4-- 4 Roy.
