The
Rambler
-. Shows His CoIors
At Horse TrioIs
BY MICHAEL MOK


Crunching over the red
dirt at the Armory, we began
whistling to ourselves:
"Along came a SQadtter,
riding on his thoroughbred,
along came the troopers,
one, ttoo, three :"
On every side, frantic
preparations were under
way for the international
Horse Show, which opens to-
day.
Outside we're the horse
trailers, most Of them air
conditioned, and the skittiSh
thoroughbreds, bridling at
the traffic. Underneath the
Armory was such nickering
and whinneying as you have
meyer heard,
1--WE had to build a prone
made and boxes for the white
tie and tiara set," said Eric
Atterbury, executive director
Of the show. "There are more
white ties at a good horse
show than at an inaugral
ball, and it's harder to ar
range"
Mr.. Atterbury, a graduate
of the Royal Veterinary Col
lege, London, is So, and has
been in the horse business
for As years. During World
War II, he commanded a de-
tachment of the Coast Guard
Beach Patrol on an island
off the Carolinas-38 horses,
plus men and attack dogs.

explained, was to cover the
hardwood floor of the ARM

paper, sealed with masking
tape, and eight inches of
loan and sand, topped with
two inches Of sawdust.
He introduced US to War
rem Wofford, who brought
a horse from WarwickShire,
England. Mr.. Wofford said
he was hopeful, but admitted
he wasn't used to our rules.
"The difference is that
here a touch on the fence
counts" said Warren, who
is %. "Over there you can
thump 1t or lie on top of it,
just so you don't knock it
down."
Crossing the stables, we
noticed the ammonia smell
of the stalls, and some
thing else, a little like cough
medicine.
That's the liniment we
rub on the horses legs" said
Tom Blakiston, who came
from California with eight
horses. Among them were
Golden Smog, and another
called Davy Crockett, which
won the $4,000 Big Jump in
San Francisco last year. Tom
said riding came to him nat

Maryland Hunt Cup and his
uncle, George, had the
Meadowbrook Cup so long he
thought he owned it.
