Enterprise Gets Great Start
Toward Open Jumpers Title
In Fort Myer Show Series

New York rider practically to give
her to Capt. Meade about year
ago, shortly before she won handi-
cap jumpers class at Fort Myer last
winter to gain attention.
One of the closest events on last
nights program was the student
team jumping class, won by the No. l
Arlington Hall team by half point.
The riding star of the winning quar-
tet turned up in Susan Rinehart,
14-year -old Charlottesville, Va, girl
who has ridden ever since she can
remember, but very seldom in shows.
Mounted on Applejack, regarded
by several former owners as un-
manageable, the girl rode the huge
horse over eight jumps without a
fault for the neatest performance
Of the evening She was the last to
Jump for her team and anything less
than perfect round would have
cost her side the victory. AS it was,
Maryland University with six faults
tied for second with Landon and
then beat out that team in a jump
off, thanks mainly to a clean round
by Fred Hughes, jr.. on Hi-Ho.
Recall Scores Handily.
A former reserve hunter champion
came back to the Army show after
a years absence to shine when
Charles Carrico's consistent Recall
won the open hunters class against
Is others. With his veteran owner
in the saddle and still feeling cha
grined at being ignored in the road
hacks class after smooth exhibi-
ton. Recall made the judges notice
him by going clean over all but one
fence and generally showing to best
advantage in both the jumping and
conformation parts Of the event.
The victory was one of the most
popular of the show.
Not to be outdone by other sue
cessful feminine riders, Patricia
Henry, daughter of Gen. Guy v
Henry. rode her fathers Gabby S
| Scamp to first place in the road
hacks class, which brought some
adverse criticism when Recall anu
Mrs. D. N. Lees Glory Road failed
to share in the ribbons. However,
Miss Henry and her thoroughbred
chestnut performed well and took the
| blue from Stanley Jones on jeremiah
after almost half an hour of riding
