Walking Horse Gains In Florida

Our Florida vacation comes to an end. Thanks to my boss, Ben Green, better known as Mr. Tennessee Walking Horse, I have enjoyed travelling the State of Florida, helping to promote and develop additional interest in the Tennessee Walking Horse.

From personal contact with owners and breeders attending, covering and exhibiting in horse shows, I can give a first-hand report that Walking Horses are becoming more popular and Florida will soon surpass California in interest for this breed.

In ackltiion to the eight horse shows usually held under the auspices of the Sunshine Circuit and the Orange State Circuit, there were two new shows. One was in Pensacola and the other an all-amateur show in St. Petersburg. The latter promises to be an annual event from here on. The results of the Walking Horse classes were reported in previous issues.

Just learned a movement is on foot to have one circuit, as heretofore, and to include four more cities— which would mean the 1964 season might have 12 Circuit shows. You had better plan on coming down next winter.

The Florida Walking Horse Assn, membership is on the increase with active directors living in Jacksonville, Winter Garden, Miami and Sarasota, in addition to officials in St. Petersburg
