By Robert B. Phillips

WARRENTON, Va, June 28.-
Young Tucker Harrison Of Rich
mond, Va. has a pony less than
four feet high, only three years
old and a mare at that. A less
likely combination could scarcely
be found for the spotlight in a
major pony show. but Harrison's
Sun Bonnet, ridden by his sister
Beverly, knocked off two cham
pionships and one reserve in the
33d annual Warrenton Pony Show
here today.
It was day for the miniatures,
since the reserve grand cham
pionship also went to a pony un-
der 11.2 hands-Dandy Jim.
owned and ridden by Lanny Ath-
erton of Warrenton.
Rolls Up 20 Points.
Sun Bonnet's score of % points
was accumulated in hunter. open
Jumper and hack classes, and
Dandy JON got around almost as
much in beating back the chal-
lenges of the larger. older ponies.
This is youngsters show run
by youngsters-from the planning
of classes through the handling OF
the public address system-and to-
days affair was a credit to the
Junior committee.
s Attendance was lighter than the
quality of competition justified,
but it may take a half a century
for spectators to discover that
pony classes are not midget side
shows, but a preview Of the fu-
.ture.
