How Walker Riding-Editorial( Continued from Page 1)
This Ohio friend said substantially: " Here in our own group, we have a good example. One of our members has a daughter who has weak eyes. The child insisted upon reading so much that they were afraid she would really go blind. So they bought her a Tennessee Walking Horse to provide another interest. The girl fell in love
Goldswig Says( Continued from Page 27) the parish house of the Church of the Redeemer, Episcopal, in Shelbyville, Also present were members of the Buckeye Walking Horse Assn, of Ohio. Goldswig is a winter resident of St. Petersburg and a summer resident of Char-Del Farm, Route 1, Box 430, Clayton, O.; near Dayton. He is a retired Insurance Executive.
“ There is no comparison with being in other horse shows,” declared Goldswig. He competed in every show in the Florida Sunshine Circuit last winter and took reserve championship honors for the circuit with points won on his Gelding, Midnight Special.
“ Being part of the Celebration is like a ball player called up from the minor leagues and suddenly finding himself playing shortstop in the World’ s Series,” Goldswig went on.“ It ' s just the greatest thrill ever in the field of spoils.
“ I did not receive a ribbon— and I didn ' t expect one,” Goldswig went on.“ But the thrill was there— so clear, so sharp, so personal.”
Goldswig said he had heard the the“ play ball” opening the World’ s Series; the opening bell of the great boxing matches attended by thousands upon thousands; the cry“ they’ re off” at the Kentucky Derby; Lhe referee’ s“ shrill whistle” opening the Army-Navy game, but none of these compare with the feeling of a horse under you, competing with the best from elsewhere, and the animal and the person are acting as one.
“ I want to express appreciation to Ben Green for making this great thrill possible,” Goldswig continued.“ He secured the house for us through the Chamber of Commerce, he encouraged me to bring my own horse, and he arranged this meeting for our group in his own church where he is a layleader.
“ My horse was proud, my wife was proud and I was pleased as punch.
This participation is beyond doubt my most heart-filling experience of its kind in all my life,”
“ So I must cast my vote for the Celebration. It tops them all for real thrills in American sporting events,
“ Am I coming back next year? You bet I am. I have already made my reservation. The Lord willing, I want to be on hand when the lights are turned off and the splendid white stallion( Rufus Cashion’ s White Sensation) circles the track with last year’ s champion rider on his backcarrying the American Flag to signalize the opening of the 1963 last night of the Celebration.
“ Ben Green,” he said,“ I hope our paths cross soon again. But if I do not see you before, it is a date for the 1963 Celebration. I shall always remember how very much I enjoyed
with the horse, spends a lot of time with this animal, and has greatly reduced the use of her eyes in reading. From these facts we believe the Walking Horse is truly saving the child’ s eyesight.”
Friends, these may be such simple matters that singly they might not impress one so much. But all together— they represent the warp and the woof of life— they are typical of the various problems that make people unhealthy, unhappy and affect their entire lives.
It seems that“ whatever your trouble— you should try a Tennessee Walking Horse.”
my first ride in this world’ s greatest show.”
Green joined as a member of the Tennessee Walking Horse Assn, of Florida, saying he worked at one time in St. Petersburg for three year with newspapers.
Missed At Celebration
Mrs. Rudy Quantz, 1336 Joseph St., Bond Hill, Cincinnati 37, O., tells us she and Mr. Quantz could not attend the Celebration as he has been ill— but they ordered the Times-Gazetie report service from the Voice staff( that’ s Mary Frances and myself).“ He enjoyed your new magazine very much while in the hospital,” wrote Mrs. Quantz. Their Celebration Friends missed this lovely couple, but did our best to keep them informed through the T-G and the Voice.( BAG).
