The Lake Worth JC Charity Horse

Both John A. Snively, Jr., president
of the SUNSHINE CIRCUIT, and
Virginia Robinson, Major Domo of
the ORANGE STATE CIRCUIT,
are on record as planning a good
many classes for Walking Horses in
each of these Show's.
Inspection Certificates
Required
Note: Florida law requires veter­
inarian certificate indicating good
health of your stock. If you do not
have a recent inspection certificate
you might be held up at the State line
of Florida until a veterinarian can be
obtained to make the inspection at
your expense. Florse Lovers believe
this to be a good law for the mutual
interest of all concerned.
Understand Lehigh Acres, Fla., had
a most successful October Show with
Morgan Wood, popular Walking
Horse trainer, carrying off the blue
for owner Walter Pierce of Miami,
aboard Mack K’s Midnight.
Frank Roper, who has so many
good Walking Horses in his West
Orange stables in Winter Garden,
Florida, was recently honored by be­
ing named “Man of the Year". Mr.
Roper is chairman of the upcoming
show in Orlando.
Tom Potts, one of the businessmen
who helped start the Celebration in
Shelbyviile, Tennessee, is now' a resi­
dent of St. Petersburg, Florida, where
he owns and operates the Ajax Office
Supply Company.
Am sure Mrs. Jesse Green’s (for­
merly Mrs. Toby Green) host of
friends will be happy to know she is
somewhat improved and has been
moved from Mound Park Hospital in
St. Petersburg, Florida to her daugh­
ter’s home in Springfield, New' Jersey
(Mrs. James English).
Thanks to Maggie Fitzgibbons of
the Dayton (Ohio) Daily New's for
sending me the following story of the
Dayton Horse Show':
Horse Show Nets §35,000
The Lexington, Kentucky unit of
the Shriner’s Crippled Children’s Hos­
pitals will receive a check totalling
$35,000.54 which represents the profit
from the Dayton O. Horse Show'
sponsored annually by the Local
Shrine.
The money, representing the larg­
est net in almost 20 years, will be used
to care for needy chippled children.
R. E. Fahrendorf, president of the
Dayton Horse Show Association, said
that the larger profit amounting to
more than $11,000 over the 1961 to­
tal is a result of the increased prize
money and the fact that more and
better competition entered the Show'.
“I had high hopes for a successful
show', but the results surpassed all of
my expectations,” said Fahrendorf.
