Walking On Volume 4, Issue 8, August 2017 | Page 15

We have seen new International Champions
crowned and have seen former Champions repeat. The
39th International has been one of the best ever due in
part to the 1906 fantastic walking horses shown. It has
been a place to make new friends, visit with friends we
seldom get to see and exclaim over the growth of the
youngsters from the previous year. The International
is like no other show! It is simply a wonderful place to
show in a friendly happy family atmosphere. I love it
and from reports you did too!  I must send a person-
al  huge thank you to the Judges, Owners, Trainers,
WHOA Staff, the VOLUNTEERS (where would we
be without you???) and last but never least, our great
leader Tommy Hall for an incredible show. As you
know, Tommy works tirelessly all year in order to have
THE INTERNATIONAL for you.   It is a wrap---over-
--finished—in the books and WE are already thinking
of the 2018 International..  THANKS  TO ALL WHO
HELPED!  Yeah WHOA!
