July had some well known show horses. The front cover was a Walking Horse, so I used the back cover. Art Simmons of Mexico Missouri used the back cover of every single 1967 Saddle & Bridle magazine to advertise his stable. The early part of the year featured his breeding stallions and later magazines featured many of his show horses and prospects. Is there anyone like Art Simmons out there today?
The back cover listed many of Arthur Simmons' horses.
Holiday's Best Wishes and Jenny Dulworth.
What a powerful mare.

August was yet another strong show horse issue, but again the cover went to a Tennessee Walking Horse. Art Simmons featured Tashi Ling on the back cover.

The December issue carried many ads as Season's Greetings. On the cover was Lee Shipman and Tamerlane. A pretty horse, but that wasn't his registered name.
