breeds, by force of numbers horse
that is type rather than breed looms
in the foreground, the Pleasure Horse.
He embraces all breeds and gives prec-
edence to none.
Horses for pleasure in the past were
incidental to their necessity for human
existence. AS mechanization replaced
the horse in everyday life there was
time when it was predicted that riding
would become lost art, but love of a
horse was too deeply ingrained to be
erased so casually. The fact that near
ly million pleasure horses are kept
in the nation today is heartening to
both horse lovers and the existing horse
industry.
The Pleasure Horse makes possible
the very existence of the specialized
breeds, for without this market to abb
serb the overflow the cost of produc-
ton would become prohibitive Every
registered Thoroughbred does not be-
come paying race horse (as many of
us have learned to our sorrow, nor
does every American Saddler become
show horse any more than every
Quarter Horse wins in the arena. In
order to produce the winners there
must be lot of chaff from which to
CLEAN them, but do not get the impress
sion that any old nag is a pleasure
horse, for in his way he is just as spe-
cialized as the others.
Consider Rider First
The first thing to consider in choos-
ing pleasure horse is the rider. What
would constitute the ideal horse for one
person might be an instrument of tor
ture for another, so the type and tenn
permanent of the pleasure horse can,
luckily, be most varied
The growth of saddle clubs seeking
club activities has produced demand
for something new, the Gymkhana
horse, new name for the same old

ranged from exhibition to mortal com
bat. If you have ever taken part il
one of the Montana Saddle Club Asso
stations annual affairs you will prob
ably agree that the same span exist
today, for the competition is so kee
that it is no place for the timid.
The Gymkhana horse must be swift
agile and controlled. Many of tn
games are of a racing nature, br
bending and stopping and quiet han
ding are just as essential. 1t is a ma
ter of training as much as breedin
which is proven by the black mare
Les LIE Tray of Simms. She has r
particular breeding but possesses tt
heart of Thoroughbred, the Stamir
of Morgan and the training of
Quarter Horse, and has probably
equal in points won at saddle ell
events, under number of differe
riders.
Dude Horse
The dude horse is a pleasure hOr
whose attributes are chiefly Stami
and gentleness, but when a little bree
ing is added it takes a lot of the we
and tear off the dude.
If you are choosing pleasure hor

always gain the respect of the good
horseman. m
The horse should be started at walk
to gain first the feel of its mouth, then
the trot and canter. The walk of a
pleasure horse is the most essential
gait, for no matter how much you enjoy
a brisk canter, nine-tenthS of pleasure
riding is done in this gait. All this
should be done in an enclosure of some
sort, as l have seen many accidents
that could have been prevented if the
space had been limited.
Any reputable horseman will be glad
to subject his horse to veterinarians
inspection or give certificate of
SoundneSs from a vet, for it relieves
him of any responsibility in case the
horse should develop some unsoundness
after the sale, as much as it assures
the novice buyer of the worth of his
purchase. A pleasure horse can give
long years of service in spite of some
blemiSheS or even minor unsoundneSS,
but it does affect the price and should
only be considered after competent adj
vice.
Riding is the heritage of the west
and the most versatile hobby or sport.
For time it seemed to go to town.
but now it is going rural again, and

Therefore, care should be taken to
determine that the training of the horse
is advanced enough to meet the expe-
rience or better the inexperience of the
purchaser. The pleasure horse is likely
to be in your family for long time
so don't be in hurry to buy something
just because it strikes your fancy when
its owner flashes it down the road. Take
pains to watch the rider mount and dis

horse can sometimes cover its tricki-
ness skillfully. When the inexperienced
person mounts the horse to try it, eau

tinued by q resolution passed
by the majority at an executive
meeting on July 2. 1854.
"The reason for the cessa-

these:

that it follows that the only

The other event that forced

a little early was the Senate
censure Of Senator Joe Nc
Carthy and the subsequent
threat that the Wisconsin
Senator might start a third
party. Practical politicians
saw the President as the one
figure who not only could hold
the party as closely together
as 1t is possible. but could win
enough support outside the

Full GI School Benefits
Urged at End Of Emergency
BY The Asseeiossd Press

Representative league, Demo-
crat, Of Texas who is slated to
be chairman of the House Vet,
erans' Affairs Committee in the
new Congress, has proposed
that all men in the armed forces
on the date the national emer-
gency ends be eligible for full CT
education benefits.
Mr.. league, observing that
consideration is being given by
the administration now to termi-
nation Of the Korean war erner-
gency. said that under present
law those in the service on the
date of termination would re-
ceive education benefits only in
proportion to the time they had
served as of that date.
''It Is well known that recruit
ers for the armed services have
approached high school stu
dents" Mr.. league said yester-
day. land encouraged them to
enter the armed services immedi-
ately following high school on
the basis that they would earn
entitlement to a college educa-
ton.
"It would be unfair under
such circumstances to cut them
of with credit for only a few
days or months so far as financ-
ing their education Is concerned,
while keeping them on in the
service beyond the emergency
termination date"
