WISCONSIN WALKS Jean S. (Mrs. Leo)Baum Box 250 Ixonia, Wisconsin 53036 Winter is falling away fast in Wisconsin, and March seemed an appropriate time for the Wisconsin Walking Horse Association to hold a clinic. This clinic was planned months in advance, and was held at the Tolberts’ Glen garry Stable in Waukesha, Wisconsin on March 11th. Edward McCoy was in charge, ably assisted by an ex cellent committee consisting of Larry Pickard, Bill Kiehl, Marvin Shields and many others. Over 80 people turned out to watch the demonstra tion, first the handling of a yearling, and the training of a 2-year old, demonstrated by Marvin Shields, trainer at Lo-C Stables of Hebron, Illinois, on horses owned by Gene Losee. Next was a parade of a stallion, SPECIAL’S BIG MAN owned by James Tolbert, several broodmares, and weanling and yearling get of this sire. Then came the demonstration of the gaits of a junior horse and how an aged horse works, demonstrated by Ed McCov. These two horses, SHADOW’S STAR and MID NIGHT QUEEN BEE, are owned by the Tolberts. Glengarry Stables is a gorgeous new bam, with an in door arena 90 x 270, a large heated lounge for watching, and 40 stalls on each side of the arena. The group next adjourned to the Avalon Hotel for a delicious meal, with Margaret and Jim Tolbert as hosts. Leo Baum, President of WWHA, led by a business meeting after dinner, followed by questions and answers on the clinic. Next it was back to the bam, where a band was wait ing, and dancing in the large lounge. Many of our loyal members came from afar for this ern Wisconsin, many from northern Illinois, and George interesting and enlightening event from far up in Northern McGilvra, formerly a trainer at Glengarry, and now train ing for B. J. Hecker, came all the way from Missouri. WWHA continues to grow, evidence of the growth of the Walking Horse in this area. New members are joining every month. Two new directors were appointed to fill unexpired terms, Larry Pickard of Brookfield, Wis. and Joe Surinak of New Berlin. Joe has been and still is the capable membership chairman of this active group. The next meeting will be held the 2nd Friday in May, preceding by a week, the first show of the Wisconsin Circuit. This is the Madison show. May 18, 19, 20, and 21st, and will have four walking horse classes. 32 NOW LET’S GO OVER THIS JUST ONCE MORE—Joe Webb is pictured giving last minute instructions to “Ol Blue” as they prepare for the 1967 session of Camp Miles Sylvania, now known as the Joe Webb Riding Camp. This trick horse has passed on to Horse Heaven since this picture was made but it serves to prove to what great lengths that Joe and Nell Webb and their family, have gone to to make this camp a worthwhile project.
