Dorohty and Shelton Rimer having breakfast with Bali Hai Ranch fillies THK CLINTON CHRONIOLEr Zfa tM 1 wmm GAZRAFF, national top ten stallion, recent winner (April 15) of grand champion stallion award at Aiken (S. C.) Horse Show. ' ' . / Rimers Develop Show Place For Arabian Horses in County To call a horse a horse is not always enough. There are horses and Special Horses. And as far as the Shelton k Rjmer family is concerned, Sazraff, a chestnut Arabian stallion, is truly something special. Relative newcomers in the field of Arabian horse breed ing, Mr. and Mrs. Shelton pimer of Bali Hai Ranch, Rt. Laurens, have gathered a top band of Arabian brood lares in the phenomenally short span of three years. As mch of an achievement as this is, getting the brood pares is only half the battle. The stallion always amounts Jo 50 per cent of any breeding program, and while Shelton timer had three better than Jverage stallions in his barn, started looking for the best Jrabian stallion he could find t>r sale. He found this in Gaz- teff, a bright copper colored lorse that he had seen win [class after class rn different 'horse shows around the coun- tifo\ But the owner, Wayne Hager, of Winter Haverr, Fla., also knew a good thing when he saw it and didn’t want to sell. After lengthy negotia tions Hager finally consented to sell the Rimers half-inter est in Gazraff, and so the stallion came to South Caro lina. With a value of $50,000 and looking every bit of a million, Gazraff seems a cihch to help the Rimers put South Caro lina and Laurens County on the map as a major Arabian producing state. Arabian horses are not only found at Bali Hai Ranch, but scattered widely over the state and the entire South east. These horses, members of the oldest equine breed, ere khown for theft beauty, stamina, docile nature and versatility. Because of these qualities, the Arabian can be handled by amateurs with a great deal of success. Many people call the Arabian horse the ideal family horse, an opinion often borne out in fact. The Rimers firmly believe this, and to prove it have adopted the theory that the more contact you have with a horse, the more you both benefit from it. A horse in the house might he big news in some homes, but at the Rim ers it won’t raise an eyebrow. This attitude is reflected in the entire operation at Bali Hai Ranch where you will see care lavished on horses in a manner almost unheard of. • As- the Saying goes, “If you want it done right, get a busy man to do it”. The Southeast ern Arabian Horse Associa tion knows that this works, for twice now they have se lected Shelton Rimer to be chairman of the association’s Horse Management Course. Known locally as oiie of the area’s leading industrialists and recently as a budding pol itical figure, Rimer is espec ially anxious that this Horse Management Course benefit area horsemen to the fullest and that it reflects favorably on the Clinton-Laurens area. He has seen to this in select ing a top, "nationally known faculty for this event, to be held this year on April 23 and 24. Leading the list in this fac ulty will be Tom and Rhita McNair of Spring, Texas. Mc Nair, as a trainer for the Gleannloch Farms Stables, travels upwards of 50,000 miles each year showing horses. He does this success fully, too, having twice shown the stallion Surf to national honors as the Amercian Horse Shows Association’s Horse of the Year. McNair, with his wife, Rhita, will instruct the classes in the training of the young horse, re-schooling spoiled horses, and showing all types of horses. Dr. Dan Orr on Clinton will be on hand to lecture about equine preventive medicine and parasite control. Dr. Orr is rapidly coming to the fore as an equine expert, and is currently in demand as a speaker at horse courses of this kind. The personable veterinarian has also been guest judge at the Dixie Classic AU-Arabian Horse Show in Columbia for the past two years. Leonard Crctts of Laurens completes the staff. Crotts was formerly manager of Rimer’s Bali Hai Ranch and is now engaged in black- smithing. During the winter months Crotts shoes race horses at Greenwood and Aiken and spends the sum- mes as master of ceremonies at horse shows all over the east. He will instruct in the proper methods of shoeing horses and corrective shoe ing. The Horse, Management course will begin at 8:00 a. m. Saturday morning. Lunch will be available on the grounds and classes will re sume about 1:00 p. m. A night session with a special film and lecture will be held af the Mary Musgrove Hotel in Clinton. Sunday will see the same type of program with emphasis for the day on the more advanced aspects of horse care.
