On a stormy night in Madison, Wisconsin, amidst
the mud-surrounded new bams in the rebuilding of
the Dane County Fairgrounds, the first show of the
Wisconsin Circuit was held. The dates were May 14,
15, and 16. The new indoor arena will be completed
by next year, and it was a lucky thing they had the
old one, as the second night of the show would have
been rained out otherwise.
The new barns were as fine as could be. The thun­
der and lightning and pounding of rain on the new
metal roofs spooked the horses a bit, as did the high
winds — it was not possible to warm them up. In spite
of everything, three good Walking Horse classes were
held, the last one ending up in sunshine.
It might be a good idea to explain right here that,
in Wisconsin and Illinois shows, there are only three
Walking Horse Classes: Junior, Amateur, and Open.
The newly-formed Wisconsin Walking Horse Associ­
ation hopes to enlarge on this situation, and add more
classes (more on this later).

The Wisconsin Walking Horse Association really is
off the ground. There have been three Board of Direc­
tors’ meetings, and the second general meeting was
again held at the Monticello Tennis Club in Jackson,
Wisconsin, preceded by cocktails and dinner. There
was a good and interested group. By-laws were pre­
sented and duly passed, new members were taken in,
and many points of business were discussed. There
will be an intra-club show August 8th and a trail ride,
probably in September when it is so beautiful around
these parts. Afterwards the film of the 1964 Celebra­
tion was show, commented on bythoseofus who atten­
ded the Celebration, and thoroughly enjoyed by all.
We are going to promote Walking Horse classes at
every show, and will do our best to see that they are
filled. Many of the members own Pleasure Walkers, so
we hope to add a pleasure class to many shows, and
gradually add juvenile, ladies, and others. The next
meeting is scheduled for July 2.
JUST IN: From the Janesville show, held June 11-12,
the winner in the Junior: Lucky Boy, owned and shown
by TODD VAN KEUREN; Amateur: Dictator Again,
PHIL KRUEGER up. More on this show next time.
Any news from you people in Wisconsin or Northern
Illinois will be most welcome. Just send to me at
Rivertree Farm, Route 1, Ixonia, Wisconsin 53036.
