\ Y. C. Maclnnis Parade Marshal
Florida will certainly be one-up on California unless they have Walking Horses in the Rose Bowl Parade, which 1 am told they have not had heretofore. The Grand Marshal of Tampa’ s( Florida) famous Gasparilla Parade on February 11, 1963 will be W. C. Maclnnis. Knowing Mr. Maclnnis ' penchant for Walking Horses, am sure he will be astride one at this gala time.
Boswells Build Barn Henry Boswell, vice president, and Bootsie Boswell, secretary of the Tennessee Walking Horse Association of Florida, have recently built a new barn in St. Petersburg, Florida for their five registered Tennessee Walkers. The Boswells hope to enter the amateur ranks as exhibitors in the area very soon.

Tom Kelly, Sports Editor of the St. Petersburg,( Florida) Times, who appeared with me on this program, made the argument for the opposition, contending that horse shows are strickly exhibitions. He did not close the door, however, and stated his mind is still open to further discussion. Hope to eventually convince Tom Kelly, so that results of horse shows will be carried in the sports section of his, and other papers.

To Promote Walker Classes

“ Be it resolved, to furnish a representative of the Association to appear before any Group in any City in Florida to help promote any horse show which includes at least six( 6) ribbon Walking Horse Classes.
Without cost to the Group putting on this type show, a representative of the Tennessee Walking Horse Association of Florida will have a well prepared talk similar to the presentations given to service clubs i. e.; Rotary, Optimists, etc.... In some instances films might be available as well as a live horse exhibit when the space is provided. While our main interest is the Walking Horse we will include comment on horses and horse shows in general. Where permissible a live horse will be paraded through the city or stationed at a prominent place to help advertise the coming show.
“ Our purpose and hope is by popularizing and promoting the Tennessee
