In what is perhaps the first "breath
of fresh air” we have received in
several years, the 1965 Tennessee
Walking Horse National Celebration
received "good notices” from official
representatives of the National Hu
mane Society. This, in our opinion,
is a step in the right direction for
the continued advancement of the

horses.”
Mr. .Oler, who has an excellent
background in the horse business
