In . horse show jumping over barriers that
were feet inches from the ground. And
the ground! It was q slippery mess after q

Just one misstep by those horses and the
boys would have taken tumbles. The horses
might have fallen them, and that would
have meant q bad injury. But they just took
Twinkle and Annabele around the marked
course as often as the judges asked them to.
There classes for jumpers, classes for
amateur riders. for horses under 152 hands
and many more. hand" IS a measurement
used by horsemen to designate the distance
from the top Of the withers to the bottom of
the fore hoofs. One hand equals inches; 15.2
hands are-oh figure it out! Dick Smith was
second in the general jumping class. That
meant red ribbon.
A little while later came a class for jumpers
called touch and out" That meant that if
your horse touched the barrier as he cleared
it, he was out Of the competition for that class.
All the riders at the show had try for it.
One by one they miSsed-or didn't miss, as
you please. One by one they tried the jumps
and were eliminated Then the gate went open
and Dick Smith came in on Annabelle. Down
the course he went up and over the first jump,
while the crowd clapped. Down toward the
second fence he went at a gallop Would he
make it? Up and over it! Everybody cheered.
But there was one more jump to take. Anna
belle slowed up little. Dick stopped her,
turned her completely around, spoke to her,
and of they went. Up and over they went,
clean whistle, the only horse and rider to
do as we'll
Cy Gagnon took third place in the Western
