1 * L .° ve A Parade 1 " ... The 116th Anniversary Gold Discovery ay Parade in Coloma , California , was greatly enhanced this year by the participation of splendid Tennessee Walking Horses owned and ridden by members of the Northern California Tennessee Walking Horse Association . Mrs . Ruth Christman , riding COLOMA GOLD , a palomino mare and Lester Porter , riding PAT ’ S GRACE , a dark gold palomino mare , led the Tennessee Walking Horse unit and carried between them a striking royal purple and gold banner . They were followed by Pres Mc-
Caleb on MIDNIGHT LADY , a flaxen mare and Helen Porter on TAWNY UPTOWN , a buckskin stallion . Mr . and Mrs . Richard Lawton followed next on a beautiful matched pair of Walking Horses . This unit must have been an impressive sight because they won a blue ribbon which Mr . and Mrs . Lawton are holding at present for the group . They expect to participate again next year and hope others will join their unit . It is interesting to note that all the Walking Horses that were ridden in the parade are using trail horses .
