Attention Walking Horse
Association and Horse Show
Managers:
It has been suggested that a copy

place of trophies to some of the
winners of the Amateur Walking
Horse classes.
Nice Gesture Department:
The River Ridge Riding Club of
Columbus. Ohio found it necessary
to eliminate some of their classes in
their April show. The secretary
took the time and trouble to write
many of the exhibitors giving the
reasons for not including Walking
Horses. Next year Walkers will be
included. Compliments to the Club
for their consideration.
