roving reporter
About once a year we like to interview various people and discuss the Walking Horse business with them . It is interesting to note their activity and their responses to questions regarding the Walking Horse breed in different parts of the country . This year we once again put our " Roving Reporter ” to work at the Mid-West Walking Horse Sale in Kansas City during the week of the American Royal Horse Show . The following should be interesting .
FLOYD POSENKE Springfield , Missouri
" I am a professional trainer . Came to Kansas City for the sale and the show . We are looking for some good young stock . Have seventeen horses in training at the present and had a pretty good year showing . What a- bout prices ? I think they are a little big higher here than most people expected . Red Bridge has helped the business in Mid-West . We need more top stock in this part of the country .”
