OAK, I remember the outside course at The North Shore Horse Show. Most of those shows on Long Island had outside courses, Vixen and the show they ran at Debbie Sweeney’s current farm. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

Yes Ox Ridge, Fairfield, and almost all the smaller shows in those days had an outside course. And usually only one ring maye 2 but not likely.

I believe Rome Dome was owned by Debbie Wilson before Kip had him.

Buryinghill2, it is nice to hear that Spanky is still alive. He must be in his 20s, because my mare was a few years older than him, and she is almost 29. I rode with Nancy back then, so I got to see lots of Spanky when he was home. I really liked his full sister, Maysie (“Goodbye Blues”) but am not sure whatever became of her.

Perhaps one of Cindeye’s two mystery greys might be the one that Racetb rode for Richard Zimmerman?

I feel as if I am in a time warp, seeing all these people, as junior riders, together again.

WOW.

Double WOW.

And how amazing is it that these pictures are on an Italian web site!?!?!

Thank you MAD for posting this link. I have just gone back 40 years, and feel like I am back at a horse show with these guys.

Doesn’t Cynthia Hankins have the lovliest look on a horse?

For all you young 'uns who are lurking on this thread, look hard at the position these people have in the air. This is a balanced, effective position. And it is SOOOO different from the awful “stand up in the stirrups and lean out on the horse’s neck” that has become common today.

Hopefully you can see why us oldies despair at the direction that riding has taken in the last 20+ years.

When Tightrope was Good,He was Very,Very Good…But When He was Bad,He was Rotten!!! </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

I remember one instance Tightrope aka Tommy at the barn, with Hap in a Regular Hunter class. He stopped, and Hap cowboyed him around the ring… If he didn’t want to jump, he just didn’t. Period. A bit of a ‘tude’.

Searching back through the cobwebs, so ponybreeder’s list will not leave any of the good ones out:

Nina Bonnie and Merlin

Betty Oare and the cute chestnut 4 year old that she was champion on at MSG in the early 80’s

Jerry Jacobs and the Deeridge Farms contingent of horses. Another nice 4 year old’s doing the 3’6", was Hard To Be Humble.

Hoodwink and both Carl and Martha Lindner in the A/O’s before any of the kids were born.

Judy Lee and …that really nice little chestnut mare … was it Winning Ways?

[Coreene]

I remember both of 'em. Whatever happened to Mia Wood?

[radio_talk_Aefvue_Fa]

Rainforest and Karen McKelvey

[Sansena]

Another geezer w/failing memory checking in…

Chase the Clouds~ a jumper, yes? Leslie Burr (at the time?)

Is this the same Becky Warner that is Louise Serio’s sister? </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

I don’t know if there were more sisters, but the one I knew was Mary Wade Warner.
Good rider, too.

Whenever I think about Maggie (she is now a big racehorse owner)
et" Moss?I also think about Boots Parker and Bodacious. I thought I remembered Magie with a horse named “PeteMoss”"

Maggie sold Deception Pass to Boots who gave Maggie an absolutely amazing gold necklace as a downpayment. Of course, Maggie wore it with her riding clothes and it was visible as soon as she took her choker off and opened the top buttons of her shirt.

In Arizona one year I was admiring the necklace and she told me how she got it. Evidently, Boots did not follow through with the rest of the money, so Maggie took the horse back.

Maggie laughed and said that it was a definite advantage, being an attorney, when it came time to write up a sales contract. She certainly came out on top – ending up with both the horse (which she quickly resold for the full price) and a necklace worth many thousands of dollars.

Anyone know whatever became of Boots?

[Racetb_Aefvue_Farm_B]

Mary Wade Warner…with race horses? Pinky Warner’s daughter?

[Offset]

How about Jac Quest and Clavier’s Choice?

Didn’t Anne Deveroux also have Hat Trick?

Playbill, known as Fritter lived at Old Salem, where Jeanne works, until she died about six months ago!

O.K. Now for the WEST COASTERS HERE!!!
Does Anyone Remember “Rhinestone Cowboy”??? </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

Yes, I do. I am having a senior moment on his owner’s name. I can picture her – she was really cute (except when she left out 1 1/2 strides in a jump off with her A/O jumper and ended up with a broken nose and 2 black eyes).

Didn’t she end up marrying Pierre Jolicouer?

Cowboy was a darling horse and she was a really good rider.

He was also the only horse I ever knew who had had an “ear job”. His real ears had been considered too big for his little head. So an equine plastic surgeon was consulted and presto chango! Cowboy had the cutest little ears in the West.

All of the Spindletop horses were wonderful, and that restaurant was a destination for many of us during the week of the National Horse Show.

[Racetb_Aefvue_Farm_B]

Oh I LOVED Aldie Belle!!!

[Racetb_Aefvue_Farm_B]
