The Tri-State Horsemen’s Association, which head­
quarters in the Twin Cities, now offers three champ­
ionship categories for Tennessee Walking Horses: Open
Walking Horse Class, Amateur Walking Horse Class,
and new for 1968, Junior Walking Horse Class for
horses four years and under. We hope to see many
fine young horses turning out this year to compete
for this newly added point championship.
The Harold Jessen family of Osseo, Minnesota has
purchased two more fine Walking Horses. They are
HOW LOVELY’S SUN, a three-year-old black colt
which they plan to exhibit in Junior Classes this
year, and a bright sorrel named LOVELY’S SANDY
MAN. These are fine stable mates for their hand­
some blue roan gelding, MAU’S EVENING STAR,
who had a very successful 1967 show season.
Dr. Dorothy Muirhead of Hastings has recently
purchased the stylish show mare, NIGHT SONG HG,
from the Hawkeye Melody Farm of Grundy Center,
Iowa.
Miss Debbie Cox of St. Paul recently sold her good
pleasure gelding, WHITE POINT PARADER.
Cool Acres of Stillwater has sold their roan gelding,
GO SHADOW BOY, leaving them with two Walking
Horses.
The Jordan Larson family of St. Paul is acquiring an
impressive string of show horses. Daughter Debbie
has done a fine job exhibiting both the bold-going
gelding, MIDNIGHT C BIG JOHN, and their lovely
black mare, QUEEN OF THE ROAD. Her eleven-
vear-old sister Terry is not to be outdone, however.
Terry will make her showring debut this year in Sad-
dlebred pleasure and equitation classes on her horse,
CHARLIE BROWN. I also understand that Terry just
may be showing her own Walking Horse very soon as
the Larsons have purchased a beautiful young mare,
GO HANNAH, who is now in training.

The smell of spring is in the air, which is enough to.
inspire anyone. It means the show season is coming
fast; not as fast as in the South, however, where they
being in April. Up here the first show is in May at
Madison.
Speaking of Madison, the last WWHA meeting was
held there at the Quality Court with an excellent
turnout. A business meeting was held following dinner.
President Larry Pickahrdt called on Bill Kuehl as
show chairman who announced that the 4th annual
all-Walking Horse show would be held August 4 at
Elkhorn, Wisconsin.
Ed McCoy of Brookfield is training a big black five-
year-old mare, SUNDUST’S FIRECRACKER, for the
William Edwards family of Northbrook, 111. She’s really
"walkin’ up a storm”!
DICTATOR AGAIN, the aged roan gelding owned
by the Harold Schwengels and in training with Mary
Lynn Treis, is now for sale (a good amateur horse),
as Mr. Schwengel will be showing his black stallion,
COLONEL PAT.
John McConnel of Woodstock, Illinois bought a nice
gelding from John Price, so we’ll expect to see him
on the circuit this year . . .
Mrs. Alice Kenyon of Eau Clair has a beautiful
coal-black yearling stud colt out of her SUN’S FOR­
EIGN AID and by MIDNIGHT PLEASURE JR. She’s
also proud of her two-year-old chestnut filly, out of
her double MERRY BOY mare and by a MERRY
KING ALLEN stud.
This 'n’ That Dr. and Mrs. Gordon Gavin of Witten-
burg, Wisconsin purchased a nice amateur gelding,
GORDON’S GENTLEMAN, from George McGilvra for
their son, Peter, to show.
