A lot of work goes into planning
these shows, and we amateur rid­
ers should support them. It’s fun—
it’s rewarding—and you meet the
“nicest” people. Promise yourself
to go to the next one in your area.
NOTE: Florida Walking Horse
Ass’n. folks should see that this
never happens again.
WE PLEDGE ALLEGIANCE
We salute the Central States
Horse Ass’n. for including four
Walking Horse classes in the show
to be held in Dayton, Ohio, Oct.
16, 17 and 18 at the Fairgrounds.
Among those will be an Amateur
class, with eight ribbons.
Proceeds from this second an­
nual Championship Horse Show
will go to the building fund of
Barny Children's Medical Center.
Let us pledge our allegiance to
give our utmost support to this
show.

ert Menker, 4008 Larkspur Dr.,

A SAD STORY
Your reporter was sorry to learn
the All-Amateur Show, scheduled
at the Imperial Show Grounds at
Winter Haven, Fla., for the week
end of Oct. 9, was forced to cancel
Walking Horse classes because of
lack of entries.
A quote in a letter received
from the secretary tells the story.
“Perhaps, that an interest among
amateur riders can be built up and
we can add them in our 1965 show.
Let’s hope so, as they add so much
for spectator enjoyment to any
show, whether it is an Amateur or
an Open Show.”

JUDY’S JOTTINGS
By Judy Byers
Killen, Alabama
The new World Champion Walk­
ing Horse, PERFECTION CAR­
BON COPY, took his time around
the ring and received the floral
horseshoe to climax the exciting
week long Celebration and also
put an end to the speculation and
suspense of everyone throughout
the week. We lived at the barns
from Saturday until Saturday,
spending as much time as possible
with our friends from Alabama,
heard all of the talk, saw all of
the mishaps, followed the politics
and checked all of the preliminary
judging. After the show was over
every night we watched the
horses working on the hill until
about 3 o’clock in the morning,
talked horses over breakfast, and
then went to bed for a few hours
sleep before the day’s activities
began again.
CARBON COPY was a popular
champion with the majority of the
Celebration crowd but as usual
everyone has a favorite and this
class was no exception. The TRIP­
LE THREAT fans were still there
and pulling for their choice. GO
BOY’S SUN DUST, with Bud
Dunn of Florence, Ala., in the sad­
dle, has been drawing a crowd of
followers at every show he has
made this year too. He took the
Columbia Spring Jubilee champ­
ionship, Fayetteville, Tupelo, and
others. He has come a long way in
the short time Bud Dunn has had
him.
I might point out that is was gen­
erally conceded that Bud Dunn had
as many good horses as any ex­
hibitor on the show grounds and
that “horse for horse” he was hard
to beat in every class that he
showed in. Bud was not alone in
this respect and there were several
other top trainers who had good
horses to show in every class, but
we thought that we would mention
this particular instance since Bud
is from our territory.
