WINTER HAVEN HORSE SHOW
The second and final show on the Florida Circuit for
Walking Horses this year was the Second Annual
Winter Haven Charity Horse Show. It was held the
week following the Tampa show, March 13-16.
The show was sponsored by the Winter Haven Jay-
cees at the Polk County Riding Association Show-
grounds. The 1969 manager was Charles Paul, with
Mrs. John Bowers serving as show secretary.
The four-day contest had thirteen Walking Horse
classes with seven professional classes, three ama­
teur classes, two juvenile classes and one pleasure
class. A total of 103 horses competed in the Walking
Horse division with entries from most of the southern
states and several more distant states.
Juding all of these fine entries was Ed Ezell of
Chapel Hill, Tennessee. Ed did a very fine job with
the pencil, giving all exhibitors plenty of opportunity
to show their horses.
Wallace Brandon won the most blue ribbons as he
took the top position in three classes. Wallace won
the Grand Championship on LIMOUSINE’S MASTER
for the Randolph Farms of Clearwater; the Junior
Class on MAC K’S SPUR for Dr. W. J. Thompson of
Franklin, Tennessee; and the Novice Class on MISS
AMORET for the Randolph Farms.
Albert Rowland won two blues in professional clas­
ses as he guided MR. FANTASTIC to the Stallion and
Gelding Clas
