Through the years, they have farmed, raised registered Angus cattle, owned and operated the Hinshaw Oil Company & Restaurant and Wayne Feed Company as well as raising and racing Standardbred horses.
HINSHAW has raised, trained and raced several champion harness horses. Two of his champions included Jodevin, national champion 2-year-old-trotting colt of 1976, who won 21 of 22 starts that year with a record time of 1:59 in the mile, and Oxford Brilliance who raced in a record time of 1:54.3 in the mile as a three-year-old.
Throughout the years, HINSHAW also sold and exported harness horses to Great Britain, Holland, Belgium, Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Finland, Germany, Canada and was the first to export harness horses to Hungary, which also made him one of the first to export harness horses to a communist country.
HINSHAW, a World War II veteran, was a corporal in the United States Army, serving in the 250th Signal Operations Company in the European Theatre. He has been a member of the Richland American Legion for more than 50 years.
