The Washington herald., 1920-12-19

by PERFORMANCE.
There were six classes and a large
number OF entries in each one. The
jumping events were particularly
interesting. JEFF" thesVirginia-bred
charger presented to Gen. Pershing
upon his return from overseas and
ridden by him in the victory parade,
won the blue ribbon in the open
jumping class and accounted for
second honors in the class for OFF,
GERS chargers. JEFF" certainly has
improved in the year or two he has
belonged to Gen. Pershing's stable.
His ring manners are almost per-
feet and ridden by Col John G.
Quekemeyer, Gen. Pershing's aide,
he was quite the darling OF the gal
leries. Col. Queksmeyer's riding
was simply wonderful. I doubt II
have ever seen him ride SO well
and the galleries simply shrieked
with glee as he put JEFF" through
his paces-though his performance,
as someone whispered to me. could
hardly be wondered at since his
girl" was an Interested spectator.
Someone was telling me that the
handsome Colonel made quite a hit
at the New York horse show and ]
don't wonder because his riding
really is superb.
"Jefrs" stable mate, John Bunny"
carried on the honors of the show.
annexing two blues and a yellow
ribbon. He won the open saddle
and one OF the two jumping classes
and finished a close third in the
class for officers chargers. He, too,
was ridden by Col. Quekemeyer.
A red ribbon winner in the open
saddle class was "Talisman," n liver
bay owned by Maj. Henry Leonard.
saw Mr.. Leonard riding the horse
out in the park the next day and he
was telling me that 'Talisman" Is
only a 3-year-old. He was quite
enthusiastic about the animal and
declares he expects to do big things
with him after he has received a bit
OF schooling. Maj. Leonard, by the
way. is a member of the remount
association and was one of the
judges at the show-not, however,
in the class in which his own horse
was entered.
Mai Leonard had an article in the
last issue of the Rider and Driver"
on the endurance tests staged by the
association a short time ago.
WARRINGTON YOUTHS
MUCH IN EVIDENCE
Mrs. Sinclair Bowen, a favorite
with Washington horse show au-
d1ences, rode Rebel to victory in the
ladies' saddle class. while Miss Bar
oara Hight, mounted on Leesburg,
was the winner of the event for chill
dren's saddle ponies. In this event
Miss Susan Hall. riding Cappy,
proved herself such a capable young
equestrienne that the association
voted her a SPECIAL ribbon.
is The youngsters were particularly
IN evidence at the show and several
OF them participated in the jumping
contests. Washington boys and
6irls are learning to ride early and
1t Is safe to prophesy that the next
generation will not countenance a
rspetition Of conditions that now
eSist.
