forged into the swirl and then was only too happy to
work at an angle up and away from all that crashing

GOLDEN GATE TRAIL RIDE
STABLE NEWS
Gleaming sun with occasional overcast found nearly
half of the Golden Gate Trail Ride mounted on Ten­
nessee Walking Horses February 27. Some of those
attending were: Miss GUI DE ANGULO of Santa
Rosa on her Rue’s Blue Belle (double Blue Namron)
purchased last year from VERDON WALKER’S Fair­
way Stables at Concord; Mr. and Mrs. KNUTE DON­
ALDSON of Roseville; and Mr. and Mrs. ROBERT
BENSON of Diablo with their recently-acquired Simp-
kin’s Show Boy (his first outing as a gelding). His
flashy silver roan coloring had helped him win at
parades for his original owner, CHARLES SIMPKINS
of Auburn. The elegant black trail-trained Coloma’s
Go Boy (by Stately Go Boy) was thoroughly enjoyed
by Mrs. Benson.
Miss Elk Grove of 1964, PENNY GANT, now a TWA
stewardess, got in on a jet flight from New York at
5:00 AM to find a note that an extra horse had been
brought down from Elk Grove by PAUL MASTERSON.
DICK and CAROL KRUMM of Sacramento, DAR­
LENE Donaldson’s sister, JOAN LOVEROCK of Cit­
rus Heights, and Mr. and Mrs. JACK FOSTER of Rose­
ville just managed to get in as the horses were leaving
from Horsemen’s Retreat, the beautiful woodsy picnic
area and ring of Golden Gate Park. The mounted pol­
ice of Golden Gate Park provide a mounted escort
and guide for any group, such as this one originated
by LESTER PORTER. Boldest of all with the breakers
TUSCALOOSA PLANS
FIFTH ANNUAL SHOW
by Elizabeth Brannon
The members of the Junior Wel­
fare Association in Tuscaloosa, Ala­
bama, are working hard making
plans for the Fifth Annual J W A
Charity Horse Show. The show is
scheduled for June 17-18, 1966, at
the Tuscaloosa Riding Club. Mrs.
DWIGHT MORGAN is serving as
Horse Show Chairman this year and
is being assisted by Mrs. JOHN
PRADAT.
Proceeds from the show will be
used to continue the extensive pro­
gram for needy children in Tusca­
loosa County. These activities in­
clude maintaining dental clinics, a
children’s story hour at the library,
and providing Christmas toys for
the indigent children.
May, 1966
The LEONARD DUNN Stable has been most occu­
pied moving into their new location, the former BOB­
BY INGERSOLL barn (Western). More news from
them another time.
DORIS MCCLELLAND of Carmichael has had horses
in training at various times at different barns, but
has had all at home for some months now and has
made room for DEE JOHNSON’S Phantom Beau.
Dee is helping her work her own horses. Doris and
her grandson, WARREN MYHRE, ride in both show
and pleasure, as does Dee, and also trail rides.
Doris is very active in the parades with the well-
known Ladies’ Mounted Patrol of the Sacramento
Horsemen’s Association. Her favorites, as always,
are the twins, Duo-Sun and Duo-Sue, by Stately Go
Boy.
Perhaps the oldest Tennessee Walking Horse Club
in California is the Morada Club in Stockton. One of
the most active members for a number of years has
been FRANK PETERSEN, who has been working
his own horse, Morada’s Gay Boy. Previously in show
classes, Gay Boy has been in the new Pleasure classes
the past three years, collecting an assortment of
trophies. Frank was the 1965 President for Morada
and his charming official braider-upper was Secretary.
Another very active Morada member, Dr. DON HAR­
RINGTON, has done a great deal for the breed for
many years and it is greatly regretted that he lost
his West Coast Grand Champion Midnight Tomboy
due to a sudden internal complication last fall.
We are pleased to announce that
Mr. PETE YOKLEY of Pulaski, Ten­
nessee, will be with us this year as
our announcer. Mr. LAWRENCE
SNELSON of Jackson, Tennessee,
will serve as Walking Horse judge.
Our show has grown so rapidly
that we are faced with the problem
of seating all of the spectators and
at present we are working on con­
structing some new bleachers to be
ready for this year’s show. All of
the barns will have a fresh coat of
paint and the grounds in general
will be in tip-top shape.
For you exhibitors who are look­
ing for a show where the exhibitor
reigns supreme; why don’t you try
the J W A CHARITY HORSE SHOW,
IN TUSCALOOSA, ALABAMA, ON
JUNE 17-18, 1966? We willbeready
