HORSE STABLE Boarding and Training Phone Pocomoke 1575-M YOUR ROVING REPORTER BY CHARLES R. GOLDSWIG Route 1, Clayton, Ohio This finds me back on the farm after moving about the country a bit. For the first time in more than fifteen years I missed the Dayton Horse Show. I am happy to learn that the show was a huge success on all fronts with more than four hundred horses in competi­ tion. Association Meeting Lively On July 10, 1963 I attended a din­ ner'meeting of the Buckeye Walking Horse Association in Akron, Ohio. As the old saying goes “a goodly crowd was there” and after my remarks as their guest speaker, I was bombarded with questions. This is a real live group of Walking Horse enthusiasts who will accomplish much if they are able to expand their membership th roughout the entire state of Ohio. Presently their members, for the most part, live in and around the Cleveland, Akron, Canton and Massillon area. As a result of some suggestions made to me at this meeting, plus the man)- letters I have received from Walking Horse people throughout the state, I picked out one hundred names at random and wrote each a letter asking if they would be in favor of and would partici pate in an Ohio- owned all-amateur show. It is too early to give you readers a true picture of the result, but it is sufficient to say that, to date, more than twenty letters in the affirmative have been received. If the show materializes, a complete report will appear in a future issue.

Henry Boswell of St. Petersburg asked to he relieved of the duties of his office as president of the Florida Association for reasons of health. Rumor has it he suffered a mild heart attack.
