ion. It all added to the show and made it one ol the
most popular on the West Coast. There was a total ol
lour hundred and thirty-four horses entered and they
showed to a tilled grandstand most ol the time. On
Saturday night and Sunday afternoon the stands were
packed as were the box >eats around the ring. It was
a great show!
There were many outstanding horses and prominent
trainers and amateurs who exhibited their best at the
California Celebration. The Barbara Worth Stables
was among the top winners with six blues to its cred­
it. Trainer Bill Oaklord and his riders carried home
some of the best including the Two-Year-Old, Park
Pleasure Mare and Stake. California Bred Stake,
Show Novice and -Juvenile Championship. Also in the
winner's circle was Blue Ridge Ranch, with trainers
Clenn Miller and Red Henson guiding their charges
to five blues. Their big win was the Championship
Stake Clas> but they were equally as proud of the
Mare Class. Walking Studs and ticklings. Amateur
Open and Stake, and the Ladies to Ride classes.
Treated Pole Builders, Mr. and Mrs. Durham and
daughters Kris and Darlene, who do their own train­
ing, look two impressive blues in the Park Pleasure
Studs and (leldings and the Junior Park Pleasure
classes. Also winning two blues was -John Kvans
Clothiers, whose rider.- won the Aged Oelding Class
and the TWHKA Medal Class. There were other out­
standing winners in several classes, and one win too

vn would ago
like with
to reiterate
we said

regard to something
the Tennessee

keen knowledge of the breed and they have some of

■,ve worked hard for years to see the breed achieve

breed is expanding in all parts oi the far west lor
measure, utility and show, and more and more people
