The 1966 FLORIDA SUNSHINE CIRCUIT again got the Horse Show
kev word throughout the Florida Circuit as Mr. V. G. GOCHNEAUK
captured the overall High Point Award in the Tennessee Walking Horse
category with his magnificent Mr. Fashion Two Twenty, a black stallion
that created quite a stir throughout Walking Horse ciccles. He is a great
horse. Close behind in the High Point ratings was another top horse
Shadow at Midnight, ridden by trainer PAUL SMITH for Mr. L. FRANK
ROPER.
The FLORIDA CIRCUIT has become known as the proving ground
for many a top contender. Walking Horses, as yet, do not figure promi­
nently in these shows but we are making progress. It appears that this
circuit was better organized this year than in the past and their shows
keep getting better and better. More and more emphasis is being placed
on assisting the exhibitors in making as much of the circuit as they
possibly can in the shortest time.
With a few obvious exceptions, the Walking Horse judging throughout
the circuit was excellent. The big complaint, as we have heard it, was
the type of turf that was available. Naturally the ground was sandy and
loose, and this is not the best ground for the majority of show horses,
including gaited and Walking Horses. Most trainers tried to compensate
for the "heavy track,” however, and according, to reports were fairly
pleased with conditions in general.
We would like to take this opportunity to express our appreciation to
the SUNSHINE CIRCUIT HORSE SHOWS ASSOCIATION in Winter
Garden, Florida, for their interest in Walking Horses and the consistent
effort that they make to include more and better classes for this breed.
To Mr. JOHN A. SNIVELY, President, and to his most efficient secre­
tary, Miss JUDY COX, goes a vote of confidence from the Walking Horse
P«;uTheyuhaye made every effort the schedule the various shows,

best judges to make their circuit
a success for Walking Horse exhibitors. With over §100,000 in cash
8toreS'Thranw!fS andfnbb°ns’ we feel that the Walking Horses got their
snare. I hanks again for a fine circuit!
