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
