LET’S GO RUNNIN’ WALK

INDIANA WALKING HORSE ASSOCIATION
SIX-HUNDRED-FOOT EQUESTRIAN LANE
Helen Porter, trailmaster for the American River
Trail Rally, crosses the Natomas Dam Bridge with
UPTOWN TARBOY on Dedication Day. Rally riders
will cross this bridge and forty-milers will cross Rain­
bow Bridge into Folsom. The Sutter Street Merchants
Association of Old Folsom has arranged to pay over­
time for necessary police at Rainbow Bridge during
the ride, and hopes a protected lane will be included
with the new bridge being planned. It would be an
important connecting link of the trail system they
are working out in Folsom and both directions to the
Natomas Trail and the Folsom trails between Brown’s
Ravine and Beal Point.
This bridge is the first of its kind in the nation and
many areas are using it as a model to combine with
bridge plans in trail systems existing and planned.

The officers and directors of the Indiana Walking
Horse Association met March 31, 1968 to proofread
the new Walking Horse Directory. This is the third
year foi: this directory and it is bigger and better
than ever. It has done a great job of advertising our
association and of making the Walking Horse better
known in Indiana. You will be seeing many new Walk­
ing Horse classes in the shows this season. Anyone
who would like a copy of this forty-page directory may
have one by writing to Mrs. Donald Perry, Route 1,
Zionsville, Indiana. No charge.
Plans are nearly completed for the IWHA Futurity
Show which will be held September 21 at the Flat
Saddle Show in Frankfort, Indiana. This is the fourth
year for the futurity and it has been a very success­
ful event and has done a great job of promoting the
Walking Horse here.
Mrs. George Case, Mrs. H. E. McMullen and I jour­
neyed to Shelbyville, Tennessee the latter part of
March to visit the Joe Martin Stables and to see our
horses that are in training there. We thoroughly en­
joyed visiting with Joe and Judy. They are very busy
people and are working some good horses. They have
horses going constantly. We were well pleased with
our JOHNNY REBEL and the Cases’ horse, JIM
DANDY.
CHECKING ON COLLEGE BUSINESS!
Dr. Warner Earle Fusselle, President of Truett Mc­
Connell College, has a show horse named COLLEGE
BUSINESS, sired by MERRY GO BOY, the seven
times World Champion Show Horse.
The above picture shows Dr. Fusselle visiting with
COLLEGE BUSINESS at the Brookside Stable in
Clermont, Georgia. The horse is the college president’s
hobby. Dr. Fusselle is a member of the Tennessee
Walking Horse Association of America and is a licen­
sed horse show judge. He also serves as master of
ceremonies at horse shows.
