An early-day horse show is pictured in color on this Max Bernstein postcard. It was photographed in the newly completed American Royal Live Stock Building at 23rd and Wyoming streets, erected in 1922.
American flags decorate ceiling and supporting posts of each seating section.
Many people are seated in the boxes and general admission seats, but hundreds line the railing of the arena to watch as the judging begins. Loula Long will be seen flashing by with her fast horses and stylish vehicles, and the crowd will roar approval as she speeds around and around the arena. A carpeted center of the floor houses loud speakers and the tables of the judges, brought from top animal husbandry departments of universities nationwide. Ribbons will be awarded to horses. Riders stand at the heads of each horse.
