The West Coast again brings a new kind of competition to the Walking Horse world . Trail horses of all breeds will converge on Sacramento on May 19 . The Capitol Noddin ’ Horse Juniors particularly invite Walking Horses to compete in the various divisions . They will be competing among all breeds for division awards . Numerous local , county , family , team and other awards will be made . Known as the American River Trail Horse Rally , the rides vary from the fortv-miles-within-seven-hours riding time to five-miles-within-one-hour . The forty-mile section is sanctioned by both the North American Trail Ride Conference and the California State Horsemen . This section has heavyweight , lightweight and junior divisions . It is the first sanctioned ride in the valley or Sierras . Last fall the Juniors held their first rally and we are happy to report that the ride veterinarians and judges found the Walking Horses among the winners . Thelma Cromwell , who has been riding the trail for years , entered the twenty-five-mile ride for fun . Having never ridden her sixteen-year-old Walking Horse in any kind of competition , she was surprised to learn that she had won the event in five hours ’ riding time and with it the high point Tennessee Walking Horse trophy . Mrs . Cromwell is well-known to horsemen in all breeds , for her husband originated the famous
Sacramento County Sheriffs Posse which has won top honors in parade units throughout the nation .

Dick and Sue Leamon are moving MAJOR ’ S FURY R and MANDY ’ S FANCY and themselves into their ranch at Wolff , California .
Virginia Lamb has CHEYENNE THUNDERathome and expects to be riding him , although probably not to show . Some mares will be bred to him , now that he has recovered from a leg injury of last spring .

JOE DIAMOND . Johnny Gunn took the stake with JOE DIAMOND and Jim Landers took the Junior Stake with EBONY ’ S SHASTA BREEZE .
