Inspired by Party Rose: No photos like old photos!

[Cindeye]

If Party Rose can show her pics from the 1960s, I can certainly reveal my 1970s personna. Pics of Perfect Stranger et moi now posted on WebShots. Those canary Harry Halls don't show up too well in B&W, but I think the National & Keswick pics give an idea.

I'm just not sure which photo I love the best. GREAT shots. Love your riding and love your horse. Why is it that I much prefer the photos of years past?????

I do hope that others will join in. This can be lots of fun. I have a photo of me jumping a coop (horse rapping the top of it though), that I love. It was a work off of a huge 18 & U class that I won at Rhinebeck (Dutchess County Fair). Reason I love it so much is first my dad would never let me buy photos, so I have very few and secondly, the test was to jump a shortened course without stirrups. I'll try to get it posted later today.

EVERYONE JOIN IN. I WANT TO SEE PHOTOS PRIOR TO 1980.

[Cindeye]

Party Rose...your spectacular leg is in exactly the same position in every picture. I would have killed for those legs! My short stubby legs never ever ever looked that good. Changed the title of this thread to give a little oomph.

[Party Rose]

I've always joked that I have the leg I due because I am bold legged. Great for those horses that need the mental security.

I just looked at the new thread title. I like it & hope that the others will join in.

[Duffy]

Great pics - both of you! Tres fun! http://chronicleforums.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

Love the Lake Placid shots, Cindeye! What a cutie he is. And Party Rose-that's the kind of no stirrup work I'm talking about! Leg looks great in that shot.

[hideyourheart03]

WOW! That's all I have to say! Those are AWESOME shots Cindeye!!! http://chronicleforums.com/images/custom_smilies/yes.gif

I think your leg looks just fine!! I was thinking as I was looking through your pics how every picture I have seen of people showing "back in the day" the horse and rider always have such nice form. They all have that real classic look.

I was with Victor..Yield Please..and Hugh Kerrigan..Grey Mist..etc. etc...and didn't Scott Neiderlander ride him too? arrgh..senility is setting in!

OOOOOOH! Grey Mist...I luffed that horse! Scotty rode Stranger for Winter Place just before I bought him. Before him, Jane Womble was A/O horse of year with him. Sadly, Stranger died in Shaffner's Hurdle Hill fire in '77.

Would LOVE to see some old pics of Grey Mist...crank up that scanner!!!!!

[Racetb*Aefvue Farm*Biziz Ltd.]

Yes! I thought so!! Do I have to do something to be able to post pictures? Don't have a clue how..and I have some doozies!! I'll have to scan some old Grey Mist pics. I have that same wall jump pic from N.Y. ..and 196? pony hunter at the old garden http://chronicleforums.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gifhttp://chronicleforums.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_razz.gif

Racetb, you have a PT

[Big Day]

Love these shots! I was at Lake Placid that year too -- to watch, not compete. Also loved seeing the Bob Foster sig on your shots...wow a trip down memory lane...

[Racetb*Aefvue Farm*Biziz Ltd.]

Bear with me...I may have photos up in the next century if I can figure this webshot site out. 60's with the madras chokers and Purina billboard no's pinned to jacket..then the velvet collars and first flat saddle..with no pad of course!!.. then there was the tie instead of choker era..emulating Stevie Stocovaz [remember her?]for some reason known only to God..and finally, skin tight rust breeches at Devon. Arrrrgh! LOL!

[Racetb*Aefvue Farm*Biziz Ltd.]

I guess I suceeded in making a Webshots scrap book...but I don't seem to have a site address to cut and paste. Can't I also just pay something to COTH so I can post fotos?? I thought I saw that info some where.

Racetb if you have a webshots photo album then you just need to cut and paste the link into a message. I think...if not you can email them to me and I can post them for you.

Okay..this is a test. Forgive all the prairie dog shots [I run a pd rescue here at the farm]..The old side saddle pic is my great great aunt taken at Savin Rock, Ct. in 1837! I will scan some old Grey Mist pics when I find them.

[Party Rose]

Racetb
PT me with your info. we are from the same era with Victor & I just wonder if we knew eachother.
Love the jumping photo with the old cars in the background.

Cindeye Shame on you!!! http://chronicleforums.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif
I have spent the past few hours adding photos to my album. Gotta go out and water before it gets too dark, but will continue this project that I have wanted to do forever. THANKS SO MUCH FOR THE MOTIVATION.

AND, thanks for the great thread idea. Now, how do we get more people to bare their past and post their pics? Possibly it could be a classic thread, saved for eternity.

[Cindeye]

RaceTB
Thanks! The side saddle pic was awesome. And I LUFF the Stevie Stocovaz look with the tie & rust breeches @ Devon. Hmmm. I'm pretty sure I have that same outfit somewhere. Keep the pics coming!

Party Rose
Wow...pics are awesome. I LUFF the no stirrups over the coop pic. I HATE that your leg is STILL IN THE EXACT SAME POSITION without stirrups. Did you use superglue? Now go out and water.

Everyone Else
Dive on in with your old pictures....the water's fine!

[OLD A/O]

The picutures are beautiful!!!! You look fantantastic!!!!!

<BLOCKQUOTE class="ip-ubbcode-quote"><font size="-1">quote:</font><HR> ***That's Cindi with an "eye"*** <HR></BLOCKQUOTE> And an "eye" you have. I finally got the time to really look at your photos and I still can't decide. They are all so cool. Lucky you. You showed at some fun ones. My parents let me show very little.

Racetb Your shots are so fun. I can't wait for more. You've brought back so very many memories, including flat, wide nosebands, "those" girths, etc... I actually began wearing a men's tie @ 1967 and people thought that I was nuts. Low & behold, I was ahead of the times.

And regarding my leg in the w/o stirrups photo: My feet are way too far out in front and I can only imagine how horribly I must have been pinching with my knees.

So I want more & more photos. They are so much fun to look at. I guess that that's another reason why I collect old COTHS. The horses really did jump classically and I much prefer the equitation back then too. Oh George, can't you revert back to your old preferences and change the style back. Oh please, oh please George.

[kansasgal]

Hi! Thanks so much for sharing those pictures. In those days, I was a little kid in the suburbs of Syracuse, dreaming of ponies.

I still remember the thrill of the first hunter class I got to watch, at the NYS fair, around 1968. I just knew that someday, I was gonna figure out a way to do that.....

I asked my Mom for a horse, and her reply was, " Oh honey, we couldn't possibly have a horse, where would we KEEP it?

Many more years before I found out that there was such a thing as boarding, and school horses.... of course then it was " that costs HOW much?"

Well anyway, thanks for those old pictures, yes, somehow they still inspire me more than recent ones..... keem 'em coming!

Okay guys..You've got me hooked! I'm rippin' through the old horse show proofs with a vengance. I don't know how to post just one foto..but in my webshots I've added one titled Crefeld Sabre..Now this was my small pony hunter, with Emerson..that I rode at the old Garden..Why the Hell am I on the outside course at Fairfield [1965], flying over this jump unbraided with a shadow roll!!!!???? Another of life's mysteries.

[Cindeye]

Luff the pony shot. Now I'm really gonna dig deep tonight and come up with some late '60s and early '70s shots.

WHERE IS EVERYONE ELSE WITH THEIR OLD DIRTY LAUNDRY????

[Racetb*Aefvue Farm*Biziz Ltd.]

Come on gang!! Find those rotting old horse show proofs..Also, Cindeye..The horse I'm sitting on at Eggie's, Bubbling Brown..Who from Winter Place rode her @ NY etc.? Dark haired guy..Bernie [not Traurig]or something?? Catch rider who hung out with me and Maud Frank?? And Partyrose..did we ride with Victor at the same time? Era of..Kim Robertson, Cindy Ferguson, Jimmy Arno, Holly still his wife and Gerry still the head groom...oh God, I'm off to fetch my walker http://chronicleforums.com/images/custom_smilies/sigh.gif

It wasn't Buddy, was it? That would have been about the time he was riding Perfect Stranger, Rivet and Gozzi. It would be too perfect if Buddy Brown was riding Bubblin' Brown http://chronicleforums.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

[Racetb*Aefvue Farm*Biziz Ltd.]

Nah..dark haired guy..catch rider..it'll come to me. Oh, Rivet..what a wonderful horse! Mule ugly and the best mover in the free world! Anna Jane White was with us at Gladstone, she got to ride Mainspring every day, lucky dog...me, Buddy and Katie shared the little "bull barn" during the training sessions in '74. Oh..the stories I could tell... http://chronicleforums.com/images/custom_smilies/dead.gif
Wait!! Carl Canazza..that was it!!!

[Racetb*Aefvue Farm*Biziz Ltd.]

Yes..it's raining here..no indoor and I'm bored. At least there's decent coverage of the 3 days dressage on Bravo..We'll have to start a "whatever happened to" post to go with our geriatric fotos. I have a lovely, very famous old conformation hunter in my barn at the moment..I may change both our names in the hopes that we're mistaken for up and coming stars at the horse shows. The pungent odor of mothballs emanating from my clothes might give us away though.

Cindeye, Party Rose and racetb, I love your pictures! http://chronicleforums.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

I was showing a large pony at about the same time. Here are some of my pictures.

This is from the last year at the old Garden, 1967.

[LaurieB]

Here's one from Harrisburg, probably 1966.

[Cindeye]

LaurieB...these are wonderful pics! I love the old standards & wings on the fences http://chronicleforums.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_smile.gif Horses' names please?

[LaurieB]

From the model at Devon, 1967.

[Racetb*Aefvue Farm*Biziz Ltd.]

Beautiful LaurieB!..Okay, who'd ya ride with..horses' names etc....We must all know eachother!!

[LaurieB]

Racetb, the pony in these pictures is Pride n' Joy. I rode with Junie Kulp in Gwynedd Valley, PA from 1965-1968 and with Bob and Jeri Freels, Harkaway Farm in Greenwich, CT 1969-1970. Do we know each other? Who did you ride with? http://chronicleforums.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

Here's one from an appointments class at North Shore, 1969. sorry the quality is so poor.

[LaurieB]

This one is my sister's pony, Rommel, at Harrisburg in 1967.

[LaurieB]

another one of Rommel, in Huntington Valley, PA, also 1967. My father took this one. http://chronicleforums.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

[LaurieB]

Last one. Fairfield 1969. By now, I've started ducking so I won't look big on my large pony. http://chronicleforums.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

[Party Rose]

Just came up from riding and you have been busy. LOVE the shots. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE....Keep'um coming.

So you two can relate. When I came back to riding in 1992, I asked where the "wings" were. "The what?" was the reply. I tried explaining them, but no one could relate. I loved the slanted ones that we could lunge over.

[Racetb*Aefvue Farm*Biziz Ltd.]

OMG!! I remember when Junie Culp died..I was at MSG sobbing with Terry Rudd. Pride And Joy was the bomb!! Pride And Joy, Prim And Proper and Neat And Tidy..all showed at the same time, all stars with "and" names. I had a small..and rode the Guyer ponies at Fairfield. Gwynned Silverseal etc etc...Midget was the king...and Marion Hulick along with Mrs. Baroody provided all the exciting riots in the pony world. God..thanks for the memories!!!!

[Party Rose]

Oh, and LaurieB. Pride & Joy. Wasn't that Nancy Barody's pony before you had him/her? I will never forget the rivalry between the Hulick's & Nancy in the Pony divisions.

[Cindeye]

OK, now you're really talking my language. Where's Terry Rudd now? And Shelly Guyer? And James Hulick? Any of them still in the game? I LUFFED Gwynned Silverseal...seeing that pony go always made me regret I went straight to Children's Hunters and Juniors without a stopover in the pony ring!

[Silver Bells]

LaurieB, your pictures are great! I rode down the hill at Jack Trainor's place. Then he moved us to his new farm on Kenas Road. All Around Farm is still standing. Those were the days...

[Party Rose]

James passed away about 5+ years ago. I went to pay my respects a few years ago.

[Party Rose]

I have a new album up called "Horses Prior to 2004." Try to figure this one out. I think that it'll be pretty easy.

I also put Quiver's filly in the Quiver album. She was bred to the leading Arab in the country at that time and this is what the outcome was. They were all confused, as there had never been a horse of that color and I don't know if they ever got the poor girl registered. So the filly is 1/2 Arab, 1/4 TB & 1/4 Morgan. She actually was cute and moved really well, considering Victor use to call Quiver my typewriter horse. Up & down, up & down. Victor joked to the day he drove himself to the hospital, the week before he died. I will also scan & post the last photo ever taken of Victor, which was also the day he went to the hospital.

[Party Rose]

The photos of Victor & Leon are now up. I couldn't find the better one of Leon, but this one will do for now.

[radio talk Aefvue Farms RCA]

These pics put a smile on this ole face and bring back mucho memories!! Geeesh, met another ole fart this weekend, and what a fun time we had. She still has this great GP horse who has to be about late 20's. He's in retirement, but what fun to remember the outside courses, hunt teams. Then we looked at each other and howled cause we're doing the AA's these days. And uh, some of us don't have scanners.. So we can't put the pics up..

Now, does anyone remember the Lilliput Farm Horse Shows? Terry Rudd is still riding from what I heard. LaurieB and Racetb, did either of you ever ride at Gwynned Valley Farm with Violet Haines?

SB All Around Farm is still standing? Wow, thats incredible, when Jack passed away his place was gone, almost as if it never happened..Shopping Mall, like there aren't any there, yikes...

[Cindeye]

Ooooh PR, you're a veritable treasure trove of oldies but goodies. It's Shelly, isn't it?

It made me sad to read about James. I had no idea. http://chronicleforums.com/images/custom_smilies/sigh.gif That's what I get for leaving the horse world for so long.

And, LUFFED the photo of Victor. I was really saddened to read about his death in COTH. What was not to like about a man who loved Perfect Stranger and always brought him back near the top when he judged?

[Racetb*Aefvue Farm*Biziz Ltd.]

Okay...James Hulick is dead. Marion Hulick made an appearance at Emerson's funeral after her "unfortunate incarceration". I saw Mrs. Baroody in a grocery store last year [crazed as ever!] and Nancy Baroody I see once in a while, she works in politics now. The Guyers don't do much anymore...some grandchildren still at the hunt club. Terry Rudd is training again and has quite a few clients...forget who's riding her hunters, Ray Texel maybe?. Didn't ride with Violet Haines...but remember them all well. ARRRRGH..this is addicting and I have a million people to ask about!!! LOL!

[Cindeye]

RaceTB
You have a PT

[LaurieB]

This whole thread is great! http://chronicleforums.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

RaceTB, have I got some pictures for you. Let me see what I can dig up.

Party Rose, I owned Pride before Nancy. Junie found her for me in Maryland when she was an unbroken three year old. I had her for five years and sold her to Nancy was she was eight (Pride, that is, not Nancy http://chronicleforums.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif).

By the way, they weren't "and" names, they were n' names (all with the apostrophe after and not before.) Prim n' Proper was with Debbie Cahn, also at Junie's. And of course James had Neat n' Tidy. There was a fourth full sibling, Hale n' Hearty, that Junie bought for Peter Zinman, but the pony colicked and died when he was only two.

Silver Bells, you're right, we were neighbors. http://chronicleforums.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

[LaurieB]

OK, RaceTB, here you go. Here's the Small Pony Model class from Ox Ridge (the final cut anyway) in 1968. Who can name the ponies and riders? http://chronicleforums.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

[LaurieB]

Next quiz question. http://chronicleforums.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif This is the Large Pony Model, (final cut) Ox Ridge 1969. Name the ponies and riders.

[LaurieB]

And for you Terry Rudd fans...

This was taken at the Ravenhill horse show in 1966. She was either sixteen or seventeen at the time. Sorry I don't remember the horse. He wasn't hers, he was a catch ride. But that's Wee Ken with Ricki Rothstein in the background. He was one of my favorite junior hunters of all time.

[Racetb*Aefvue Farm*Biziz Ltd.]

Oh man!! Luff the Terry Rudd pic!
Ponies..jeez..Springledge Irish Twig..Lindsey Dugan/Shalbourne Snapdragon..Chase Rogers/ Gwynned Jollywell..Sally Haas/Forget Me Not..Libby Mckinney/ Wennol Bechan..Leslie Brown...did I get anybody right??!! LOL!

[Racetb*Aefvue Farm*Biziz Ltd.]

Gwynned Jollywell/Katherine Burdsall
Liseter Gold Coin/oh forget it...memory overload..these are pure gold, LaurieB!!!

[radio talk Aefvue Farms RCA]

Can tell you one of the judges in '68 was Artie Hawkins. Can't miss that tall man anywhere. Ladie judge looks familiar. As for the ponies (hands thrown in air)

[LaurieB]

Racetb, you got one right. http://chronicleforums.com/images/custom_smilies/lol.gif

The first pony in the large pony model is Springledge Irish Twig (Twiggy) with Lindsay Dugan.

By the way, Chase Roger's "Dragon" was a small pony. And Wennol Bechan was bay. http://chronicleforums.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_wink.gif

[Racetb*Aefvue Farm*Biziz Ltd.]

Yeah, Twiggy was the only one I knew for sure. I remember at Farmington somebody finally protested and Twiggy was a large pony no more. Is Marianne Steirt[sp?]still riding? What was the girl's name who rode Inky and had a zillion fancy ponies[and a zillion dollars]...then just a mediocre jr. horse and faded away? Cindy Weiner [Chimney Sweep] had a farm in New Hope when I was there with Mikey Cohen years ago...Katherine Burdsall is married and has a farm in NY..I see her at shows...and the Mckinneys and their children are all going strong. MORE PICS!! lol!

[Party Rose]

Wee Ken was a favorite of mine too.

Love the pig tails.

Thanks for the correction. I actually knew that, but had forgotten. N not and.

Thanks for all the info and bringing back other memories.

I can't believe that WE have been working on this ALL afternoon. BUT, you all have motivated me. I have had 50 years of photo albums torn apart for 3 1/2 years in hopes of properly organizing them. It just hurts my neck & back too much, so 00.00% has been accomplished. With this way, at least I am organizing them into files in my computer & will burn them to CD. THANK YOU LADIES. Thank you....Thank you....

The pony line-up is beyond me, sorry.

Keep guessing on my pony pic. Keep guessing. It was the first time I shot horses & it was pouring rain. Pouring. The show was at Mason Phelps in 1976.

How could I have missed Artie. He lives right down the road from me now. He and Steve were great to me as a child.

I am trying to get more photos up, but with my slow dial-up & WebShots being busy, they are slow. I also started a Re-Rider album. No commenting on my weight gain PLEASE. I guess that I couldn't stay at 97 pounds for my entire life. I'll get more of James, Victor & and Gail as time allows.

[LaurieB]

OK, here are the answers. http://chronicleforums.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

Small Ponies (from first to as far back as I can see.)
1. Moon Comet, owned by Sindy Paul, ridden by Cindy Wiener.
2. Cockscrow Flair with Lucie McKinney
3. Chantilly, Sindy Paul
4. Driftwood with Gail Hulick
5. Midget, Nancy Baroody

Racetb, is Sindy Paul the girl you meant? I don't remember a pony named Inky but I wonder if you're thinking of her 11.2 black pony named Squeaky? The small ponies she owned while I was riding with Junie included: Chantilly, Moon Comet, Driftwood, Midget, Crepe Suzette, Blue Hill, Squeaky and Fox Hunt. There were probably a few others that I don't remember. http://chronicleforums.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

[Racetb*Aefvue Farm*Biziz Ltd.]

Partyrose...Do YOU know who the pony pic is?? The rider looks so familiar..arrgh. Debbie Pearlman? no..come on..who is it???

[LaurieB]

And for the large ponies:

1. Twiggy with Lindsay Dugan
2. Pride n' Joy with me
3. Rebel, Judy Korn
4. Chimney Sweep and Cindy Wiener
5.Prim n' Proper with Debbie Cahn

[LaurieB]

OK, I finally found the picture we're supposed to be guessing about. Is it Shelly Stiegler and High Noon?

[Racetb*Aefvue Farm*Biziz Ltd.]

Yep!! That no ridin', bought everything, Sindy Paul..and it was Squeaky, not Inky. I think Inky was Libby's small pony when she was maybe 4 years old. It was all of 10 hh. Emerson would wack it at the in gate and this little black blur would careen around the course like a whirling dervish. God..what a line up of forgotten ponies....I was talking to Fred Becher the other day..he still has Midget's first foal, "Encore"..she's like a hundred years old now and took about a million kids through the short stirrup ranks...I am getting NO work done since we started this thread..lol!

[Racetb*Aefvue Farm*Biziz Ltd.]

Hey...now that you've mentioned her..isn't Partyrose's pony pic Judy Korn???

Hi! Just wanted to say that I remember Gozzi because he is one of the main horses featured in the book George H Morris Teaches Beginners To Ride. The book is now out of print and sells used for more than $100...

I remember reading that book and dreaming of getting to take a lesson with George on Gozzi...


Thanks for all the pictures and stories. Keep'em coming!

[Party Rose]

None of us are getting ANYTHING done today or tonight.

I just figured out that my PT preferences had changed to OFF, so I have spent the past 1 1/2 hours sending appologies & replies AND I am only 1/2 way thru. MAJOR bummer.

I had thought when looking back at the photo during the past 15ish years, that it was Shelly, but when I found a photo in a COTH that I had gotten last year thru ebay, I thought that I was wrong and remembered who I originally thought it was. Think of the mid 70's and what family was associated with the Hulicks.

Kansasgal - When I read your Gozzi, my mind totally flashed to Georges book and I had it out last night looking for a correct spelling.

racetb - Wasn't Debby Pearlman older than that in 1976 or did she have a sister that I am thinking of? My an I getting tired. Did she ride with Victor, or Ronnie or who?

[Racetb*Aefvue Farm*Biziz Ltd.]

Yes..Debbie was older..no sister. Rode with Carl Knee.

Cindy Weiner also had Wonderful World. I see her every year at Devon, and she also judges now and then. Terry Rudd is married ( I think) and living in Radnor Pa, where she gives lessons etc.

[wtywmn4]

SB didn't Cindy own Sooty Fox? Or was that the name of her farm? Nice to hear Terry is doing so well. Remember her bro? Last time I saw her was at WEF...

PartyRose, isn't your pony pic Southern Grey?

[Racetb*Aefvue Farm*Biziz Ltd.]

Yeah Laurie..I think it IS Southern Grey...come on Partyrose..GIVE!!!

[Big Day]

Its Libby McKinney, on Touch Me Not?

[clearound]

PARTY ROSE - I think I have a pic at the same jump at Old Newbury, just a few years later. Not sure what I hated more about that show - the mosquitoes which were as big as small planes or the small planes flying over the outside course.

[Cindeye]

PARTY ROSE and LAURIE P...your pics are incredible. And, I'd completely forgotten about Southern Grey. Sheesh...I didn't realize how senile I'm getting. Everytime you guys think up a horse, pony or person it takes me back in the time machine!

[lauriep]

If either of you know/remember Gail "Oley" Olson, who was the barn manager for Marion and took care of all these great horses and ponies, I know how to reach her. She is happily married, with kids, still braids and was amazed to hear from me when I called her!

And, it is Laurie B whose pics are posted - I haven't posted any in quite awhile.

[Party Rose]

AND THE WINNER IS.........LAURIEP
I knew thgat YOU would come through. Welcome to the tread and congrats on a good memory. I knew Gail when she was living in the trailer along side of the indoor. We had lots of fun that summer.

clearound - You MUST post the photo.

I got all of the Victor, James & Gail photos that I could come up with uploaded. The rest are somewhere in the 4 foot pile of torn apart photo albums. I also added a photo in the friends album of Kathy Schneider, Karen Distler, Holly Spencer (deceased) and Katie Cullman. I bought my first horse Quiver, from Katie. I have a really cute one of Tina Distler that I'll post later. Gotta go watch more of the taped xc from the middle of the night.

[Saddith]

I love these old photos!

First thing that got me was the wings. One shot showed everyfence with them... was that the norm? Did horses run out alot or something? Guess not with all those wings!

The other was pointed out by my husband.. no saddle pads. Then he asked me why I had to have so many. I explained to him that if he wanted to clean my saddle for me everyday, or buy me a new one every year, that was why. Told me to buy all I wanted. But he likes the idea of not using a pad at all! You would never see that nowadays...

Great pics, please post more! Wish I had some old ones - but I didn't have pics taken of me on horses when I was young. UGH!

What a beautiful picture!

RaceTB
Last time I saw Jimmy Piehler was in Middleburg circa 1978. Jennifer McCauley (Jr horse: Sara Lee) and I took a road trip up from college to see him. We rode cross country and ran into Tab Hunter out on the range. It was a glorious day and I'm so glad I have that great memory.

Jimmy was the BM at Buffalo Saddle & Bridle Club when I started riding at age 9 and was there until I was about 13 or 14. We stayed in touch until I was about 20. Geez, I miss him!

Oh. I LOVED the pic of Victor & Holly judging Toschwood. Victor judged Jrs and Equitation and I was Champion Equitation and Reserve Jr. (lost Jr. champion in a hack-off, but I can't remember to whom).

I totally remember that jacket! In color, it was a sight not to be believed. http://chronicleforums.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_eek.gif I had a pair of "go to hell" pants made out of the same material that I would wear w/a grosgrain ribbon belt.

Cindi,
I totally remember that jacket too!! I remember the year Victor gave Lisa Langanella so many Valiums she made her courtesy circle the wrong way in the Maclay Finals..lol! When he used my nickname and stretched it out.."Annnnndy"..I knew it was time to run away and seek shelter. I can hear him now.

Oh, wasn't Jimmy Piehler the best. He was my dearest friend, from grooming for Swannie to our great sucess with Goshen Hill..I miss him so much. I'll post his memorial pics that his lover Peter had made when he died in my webshots for you in a little bit. He always had wonderful stories of his Saddle and Bridle Club days. So nice to catch up with someone that knew him.

...and I have the best Tab Hunter stories known to man..but I'll have to kill you after you've heard them!!! Yahoo!!!

[Party Rose]

Is it my computer or the boards. For some reason, I have had on & off trouble getting to the site, either directly or thru the home page for the past few days. I have this trouble with NO OTHER site. HUM!!!

The pic of Tina Distler is up. I posted a hack pic of Party Rose (horrible shot for an incred. mover) that should be up sometime today. I love the mud knot with masking tape (ahem) and the lack of saddle pad look. It really made the horses look fancier. Does anyone know who is in the background? Would be pretty funny if it were one of you. http://chronicleforums.com/images/custom_smilies/lol.gif

Cindeye - Was it that very show? I gave a copy to Holly earlier in the year & she loves it. She too is now living down the road from me. She said that Victor LOVED that coat.

Racetb - It's not up for public viewing yet. WebShots takes time to move it over for viewing, though it is in your private area for you to see.

Re Toschwood: I'll look up the newspaper clip when I get home. I pretty sure it was the same one as we went every year and I don't remember Victor and Holly judging more than once.

Re Jimmy: Can't wait to see the pic. I wish I had some old pics of S&B daze (I mean days), but I'm not sure I do. I'll look for some newspaper photos on that when I get home, too. If he told you the stories about the little teen groupies that tortured him...I was definitely involved. http://chronicleforums.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_wink.gif We all LUFFED him to bits and he wasn't out yet in those days. Later on, in Middleburg, he made us just cry with laughter talking about how we followed him around with love-sick eyes. Never got to meet Peter, more's the pity.

This thread has brought me such joy. I really feel like those WERE the good old days, for hunters and horse showing. Wish I had been born around 10-15 years sooner.

Where I live now, it's been nearly impossible to find a place to ride and take jumping lessons... the one big show in the area just isn't much, no professionals still around that I know of who rode in the 70's....

Thank goodness for COTH and the internet

Thanks for all those great stories and pictures.

What I loved so much too about that trip was going to the gardens and mansions following the show. Many thought it goofy, but I loved it.

I have to go back and look at everyone's pictures, but, I am going to post of me as a kid in the 60's at Timonium of of my mothr in 1935 or 36 at bolwing Rock (if I can shrink them)

Umm, that was Blowing Rock....jeez

Its as if the time warp we longed for has happened. http://chronicleforums.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_wink.gif Oh for a scanner. No pads, no harnesses on helmets, and we all muddled thru. Interesting...

[Party Rose]

2dogs
Cool shots & no cars in the background. What's up with the brown tops? Was that the style back then? Do you know what color breeches your mom was wearing in the second shot? Sure wasn't canary. Ooops, we're back to the original topic now aren't we!!!

And why did we always seem to get away with jumping to the side and not the middle of the fence? I think that it was a distance thing probably. We just galloped and jumped. I don't ever once remember chipping in.

[Cindeye]

OK, by popular demand, I just posted more and earlier photos.

Party Rose
I looked up that newspaper clipping. The horse show that Victor and Holly judged at Toschwood was July 1975. Victor was kind enough to bring me in at the top in both the Medal & the Maclay. I was eq champ and Stranger was reserve Jr. I ALWAYS LUFFED showing under Victor and it wasn't just because he wore that Madras jacket!

[Cindeye]

2Dogs
Great pics! Thanks for sharing.

[clearound]

PARTY ROSE - Here is my contribution. Two from Old Newbury and one from Ox Ridge. That's all I could find for tonight. Its the "Memories" Album.

[2Dogs]

you are all very welcome!! I have some of my mother's britches from that time and they are cotton, with big legs and buttons for the leg closings. They are a tan cotton - heavyweight -and gorgeous. Notice the sandwich case too. Although my picture is from an appointment's class in the 60's, my mother tells me they often rode with sandwich case attached in the 30's. But all of your pictures are so wonderful - I have more ancient history I will try to attach. My mother's horse - the wonderful Gallant Lady

[2Dogs]

And my grandfather had a jumper named Christie who was a champ in the early 30's. The pictures are a hoot from that time!

[2Dogs]

think I saved a better shot

[Cindeye]

2Dogs
Try scanning your grandfather's pic in "grey scale" instead of "black and white." You might get better resolution.

All
The pics I posted of 1969 through 1975 are now posted in my albums in "Saddle & Bridle Club days" and "Other horses."

Until I went to the old albums, I'd completely forgotten I used to show Sonora for Bessie & Mervyn Alexander, the BMs of Saddle & Bridle. The old brain is really getting fuzzy.

Check out the tweed jackets & paisley chokers in the Saddle & Bridle pics...now THAT was stylin'. http://chronicleforums.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_wink.gif

Talk about family history 2dogs, wow!! Those are great... Party Rose, brown tops were used on boots of hunt club members. Cindeye those chockers, I unfortunately came in on the tail of those, ugh!! And the wool tweed hacking jackets, too much... http://chronicleforums.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

[Silly Mommy]

This is funny -

I too adorned the Elmira Star Gazette in the mid 70's, and I believe the picture quality was about the same. I'll dig for it later, but I believe it had to be 75' and I was on a grey large pony named Booberry. I'm actually showing at BTRC (formerly S&BC) in a month.

I'm a little younger, but in the late 70's showed with Hurdle Hill (when my mom couldn't go to whatever show) on my pony "Dot To Dot"... Then in the early 80's I showed with RY, catch riding a bunch in the Juniors, but mostly sat on a horse named Boren.

[Cindeye]

Silly Mommy
Kerrymeade! I just saw your web site. I should have known.

I must have just missed you @ Hurdle Hill. Did you ever cross paths with Tommy Brewer? He might have been just about your era, lived in Elmira and showed out of Hurdle Hill (at least in the mid-1970s when he was still knee-high to a grass hopper). I left HHF after the big fire in 1977 (Stranger, Magic Parade and 5 other horses were killed) and moved over to Quaker Hill in Orchard Park w/Stewart Moran.

When you're at BTRC show, look up Jennifer Burger and tell her you met me on COTH. She was one of my best friends growing up in riding and she and her daughter Alexandra still show with Susie.

[Party Rose]

OMG&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;
Just got back from an all you can eat Japan/Sushi and I am exhausted and STUFFED. I read everything since (how could I have) left you all. GREAT shots. I had forgotten about the HUGE loose ring snaffles and the electric wires overhead at Oulde(?) Newberry. So many other things to comment on. I had black pattent tops and I thought that, that was what was correct for ladies in the hunt. Boy, I just keep learning more and more.

Love the shots..........Keep um coming. Gotta to get into bed and fall asleep to gymnastics. VCR IS set for 2-9am.

Tom Brewer's kids ride with me. http://chronicleforums.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_cool.gif The Brewers started with my mom, and she sent them with John when they wanted to campaign (which she did not at that time).

Way way back, my mom worked for Shaffner when he was at Valley Hunt Club in Bradford, PA.

[Cindeye]

Say hi to Tommy (ooops, I mean Tom) for me. I fondly remember sitting around with his parents in the camper at shows. I even remember him running around in the back lots @ HHF with his beebee rifle and raising hell.

OK, list of Western NYers I'd love to track down:
Jayne Schutt (HHF)

[Racetb*Aefvue Farm*Biziz Ltd.]

You guys!! The pics and stories are jarring my memory cells like never before. I remember at the old Garden..the only call back I got was in the Small Pony Hunter Appointments class. When my pony heard the sandwich being inspected in someone else's case, he darted out of the line up and shoved his face in some other kid's sandwich case for a snack. Carol Kelly was judgeing I think and not amused. I'll get to the motherlode of early HS proofs at some point. Do you all have your old paper fronted COTHS?? That's a trip down memory lane!

[Cindeye]

I wish I saved all those paper COTHs. I still can't get used to the glossy ones. Circa mid-1970s, I papered our small bathroom with front covers. It looked pretty cool 'til they all started to fade.

I used to hate getting ready for the appointments classes. How many people remember cheese sandwiches with the crusts removed? I pulled my sandwich case out for one show and realized I'd forgotton to remove the sandwich from the last...green mold everywhere.

[Racetb*Aefvue Farm*Biziz Ltd.]

And patent leather topped boots..with the garter just so between the first and second buttons you had to sew on your canary/buff appointments breeches..and sewn in bridles..and engraved bone buttons and hunt colours.
Oh..if we only knew it would come to shocking pink fake vest points, puke green TSs and crystal GPAs!!!

Sorry, I don't know. Claudia was from Upstate New York (near Albany) and had grown up there, so if there was any connection at all it may have been a KY cousin.

This one is of my sister Gillian (now a confirmed eventer) on Landgate Minstrel Boy (who later belonged to MAD's family). I THINK it is at Running Fox Farm (which later became Coker Farm).

He was related to the Gibson of "Gibson Girl" fame, and there are LOTS of good stories about him.

After "Old Mrs. Tucker's" place was sold, the "Bedford Whip and Spur" horse show moved to Running Fox. We also had Pony Club activities there.

When the GBHPC split into a northern and southern branch, the southern branch was named "Running Fox" after the farm.

Of course, now there is no longer a "Running Fox Farm" for the PC to relate to, and, in fact, I think the Running Fox PC is now up near Peekskill.

WOW SillyHorse. Was that the first color photo ever taken? It also is the perfect example of how we rode out-of-hand. The "perfect" straight line between your elbow and the horses mouth. I really liked riding that way much better, as it was just so much more natural and I think that the horses "used" themselves better. Look at the difference of the photos of today & back then, within the same divisions.

wtywmn4 - the jacket was solid sky blue, probably a linen blend. The picture has faded so much that it's hard to see just how beautiful it was.

What a great idea. I feel very strongly that history too should be taught.

It amazed me when I had not ridden in 22 years and went to volunteer ar the World Cup Finals in Del Mar. I was an usher. Long story short, after someone asking Bill Steinkraus, Frank Chapot, George and others to move from where they were standing, I was immediatly put in charge of the riders, trainers & officials area. I WAS THE ONLY ONE WHO KNEW WHO THE "THE" PEOPLE WERE. How many times have I seen on these boards alone "who is Bill Steinkraus, who is...., who is..... HUM!!! History 101 is needed.

I've added another fashion shot. This is Lakeville Ct. 1970? I think it was actually held at the Baroody's farm back then. "Backstage", Foxwood Farm, Stamford Vermont [any Foxwood refugees out there?].

RaceTB, sounds like you and I know lots of the same people. I grew up at Fairfield, and like so many others, Emerson was a father to me.
I started grooming all Em's ponies, and continued grooming there for many years. Knew all the Guyer and Mckinney kids and ponies well.
I went to Em's service, it was such a sad day, but great to see so many old friends.

[Racetb*Aefvue Farm*Biziz Ltd.]

Buryinghill..Yes, sounds like we do! I miss all the "old guard"...old Doc Raven too. Did you hunt with Fairfield at all? I'm trying to remember some of the old gang. I know Fiona Stowe has a farm in Easton & just sold me a lovely young horse, Chase Rodgers' children now ride at the hunt club..and Robin Pavone is there again and of course Lucy and Libby are still in the thick of things.
At the old garden, when I was about 7, my pony came down the ramp and Em screamed "This pony's tail isn't braided"!! We waited together while the rest of the ponies and crew disappeared up the long dark entrance ramp.. He then grabbed me by the lapels and said "Short stuff..don't EVER tell anyone you saw this"..and proceeded to kneel down on the 7th Avenue sidewalk and braid a magnificent tail!! I think it's safe to divulge that story now..but knowing Emerson he'll find a way to come back and give me hell!!! LOL

OMG. I'd completely forgotten about them until I saw your post. Honey Craven used to always wear them. This picture is pure gold!

Thanks for the memory http://chronicleforums.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

[equitationlane]

For all you East Coast Oldies, I MUST know you.

So, if you knew a kid from upstate New York that showed a pinto and rode with Victor, THAT IS ME!

[Party Rose]

So come on equitationlane, join in the fun. You were a star back then. Photos please and no excuse, as you are a computer, scanner, camera etc., WIZ, that would probably NEVER toss a photo, be it old or new.

[HARROLDhasmyheart]

Awesome pictures!

[Racetb*Aefvue Farm*Biziz Ltd.]

Equitation..We all MUST know eachother. Who was riding with Victor when you were there? I'm trying to remember a pinto. Okay, this is it..photographic proof that I DID have a lemon yellow jacket http://chronicleforums.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_redface.gif

[Diamond Slew]

I still have my canvas leggings (the half-chaps of the time) - and does anybody remember going to the Garden (Nat'l Horse Show) in the 50's and watching people school for the jumpers out on the side street, with stable men holding a pole to be jumped? (Not to speak of poling). And wandering around in the underground stabling (you could get in the show free if you rode in on the train in riding clothes and sneaked in the horse entrance on the side street) where somebody would holler "Ware horse!" or just Track! and a pro would come tearing doown the aisle between the stalls & jump some makeshift schooling pole on hay bales, people scattering in all directions?!

[Racetb*Aefvue Farm*Biziz Ltd.]

Okay Margaret..you win for sure!! I have some old Bennie O'Meara shots with his gangster "boys" sitting under huge verticals while Benny jumps over them..But I wasn't there, Mikey Cohen gave them to me before he died. I know everyone would LOVE any 50's pics. PLEASE!!!!

[wtywmn4]

Jumping up & down waving hands frantically!! YES YES, we would love those photos!!! Not having a scanner, all I can do is enjoy http://chronicleforums.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif And am I ever. Bennie and the boys, have to see that one.

[mbdobbs]

Wow, I just sort of "strolled" in to this wonderful thread and I can't believe I just read about the Hulicks. I'm not quite old enough to have the photographs shown here, but I did ride with the Hulicks at their summer camp for two summers in Sterling, Massachusetts in the early 1980s. I can't believe James is dead. He was one of our instructors. That's so wierd -- kind of like a time warp. I stopped riding in the mid 80s and just got back into it about two years ago. I wondered whatever became of the Hulicks. I looked up Marion and read about her "incarceration," and well, let's just say I had very little sympathy.

Melissa

[Racetb*Aefvue Farm*Biziz Ltd.]

Mellisa..was Chris Johnston there when you went to camp?? Tall, gay..real funny?? He also groomed their top show horse and I've lost track of him!

[mbdobbs]

Oh my god yes, I remember Chris. He was a great instructor but soooo full of himself (surprise!) I'm off to the barn now but will be checking this thread later tonight. This is all such a throwback!

[17hTBmare]

Chris Johnson is now riding and training for the lady who owns Bay Bay Farm, LLC, a private farm in I think Massachusetts. He's as funny as ever!

[Racetb*Aefvue Farm*Biziz Ltd.]

OMG!! Thanks guys!! PLEASE tell "Mona" Andrea says hi if you EVER get in touch with him..that I'm in Ct. with a little hunter jumper barn and he better look me up!! racetb@aol.com

Enclosed one of my favorite pics. It's a pairs class..remember those? Look at the beautifully turned out pairs on either end of the line up...and look at the unbraided raggedy ass unmatched pair in the middle. Me and Mom..lol!!!

[Racetb*Aefvue Farm*Biziz Ltd.]

Melissa..remember what you learned at camp?? Every time I pulled in you poor souls were washing horses with Marion screaming "Don't make puddles!!!!" in her bell like tones. LOL! I caused famous jazz man Dave Brubeck's son to have a nervous breakdown and leave camp by putting a Man O' War jellyfish on the john in his hotel room at some horse show. God, this thread brings back memories I didn't know were there!

[LaurieB]

mbdobbs, I went to the Hulicks' camp too. Except that I went in 1965. http://chronicleforums.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif At that point, James (then known as Jamie) was a twelve year old boy that all the campers had a crush on. That was the summer he got his large pony, West Wind. I thought she was the most beautiful thing I had ever seen.

Diamond Slew, my experience at the old Garden was a little different than yours. We were stabled in a tent in a parking lot about a block away (the air in the basement was terrible and our trainer thought the horses would be healthier outside.) Saturday morning, I came riding down the block dressed to show, wearing a number, and on my pony and the guard stopped me and didn't want to let me in the back entrance because I didn't have my exhibitor's pass. http://chronicleforums.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_rolleyes.gif

While I was arguing with him, my groom elbowed him aside and told me to make a run for it, which I did. http://chronicleforums.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

Here's another old picture from that show in 1967. http://chronicleforums.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

[LaurieB]

racetb, I love the story about Emerson braiding your pony's tail! http://chronicleforums.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

buryinghill, I never rode at Fairfield, but we lived in Greenwich and were friends with all the 1960s Fairfield kids, especially Mercedes Rudkin and Lindsay Dugan. Do you know what ever happened to them?

[17hTBmare]

God, LaurieB, your heels are so GREAT!

[Racetb*Aefvue Farm*Biziz Ltd.]

Laurie..Lindsey Dugan continued her wild and wicked ways into adulthood and I haven't ever heard a word about her. Mercedes is still around...and now the third generation rides at the hunt club. I saw Chase Rodgers with her brood at the club last year and Robin Pavone is there. It's REALLY changed, Leslie has left..I have a couple of A/O hunt club refugees riding with me now..one still keeps a pony there...I'll send her on a fact finding mission this weekend (: GREAT foto by the way..

[Party Rose]

This is so weird. I keep loosing my replies when I am searching for more to quote to add to my reply, so I'm gonna make it quicker this time. I have to go back in the next few days and read everything from the past 5 or so days, as I have been super busy with the ranch/riding/house/dogs and forget about my needs. My paper pile is higher than I will admit to.

Anyhow, I was a SRRC camper in 1968 & 1970. James and I have an interesting history. I had forgotten about the "no puddle" policy. How about your memory? Remember having to DUST the main barn TWICE a day and having to rake between the main barn, down the hill to the indoors before lunch AND dinner & being late for meals??? I will NEVER forget. I hated the hill back up to the camp and was amazed a few years ago when I went to pay my respects to James, that the hill was nothing of a hill. Why did we bitch so much about it. Possibly since we were worked so hard, were hungry and were smaller, so things just looked bigger. That hill is no big deal.

For some unknown reason, I get summer camp blues EVERY year. I was nuts enough to go back in 1976(?) and ran the kitchen for the summer. I did love going to the vegi stand every day to get Marion fresh strawberries & tomatoes. Loved heading out every day to buy the food for the campers. Brain fade. What was the name of the "heavy set" cook that I picked up and dropped off every day in Worchester?

I have photos of camp that are stored away, that I took a few years ago. Should I try to find them and post a few? I think that I have a photo of the HUGE tree growing out of the middle of the swimming pool. What a weird shape pool that was to begin with. I also have very dark photos of the cabin I spent 2 of 3 summers in. Second time around was cool, as there were just two of us in there (workers) & I took off the upper, made it really homey and always kept a gallon of red wine underneath. It was the middle one of the front three.

That was the summer when I met Sally Hinkle (she was a camper) and we have been great friends ever since. Sally just got married and is now Sally Russell. So who else out there is a SRRC x-camper? More later ladies.............

[equitationlane]

Party Rose:

As soon as I get myself moved and unpacked, I will try to find some old photos.

Do you know how much crap a person acquires after 22 years in one place?

[equitationlane]

Race

When I was with Victor, Jessica Tuchman, Lucy Cullman, Nancy Candib, Park Holland III and more. I was just a small blip on the screen then.

WAs I close?

[Party Rose]

equitationlane - If I could lift, I'd help. Moving is a major bummer. How is the new place coming?

[Racetb*Aefvue Farm*Biziz Ltd.]

Nope, Equitation...I'm drawing a blank on that crew...Mine was Kim Robertson, Cindy Ferguson, Dana Douglas, Marion grooming..Jimmy Arno riding, Holly riding Just Plain Sam and Raise The Roof..the Florida circut still was several different places..start in Jacksonville..Ocala..Tampa...10 weeks of traveling Hell..arrrgh! More will come to me!

[Racetb*Aefvue Farm*Biziz Ltd.]

Oh yeah, Party Rose..you started this thread and I've exposed my lemon yellow riding jacket and pairs classes with my MOTHER!!! Get out those horrid camp pics and keep 'em coming! lol

[equitationlane]

Race

You were after me,but I do remember Cindy Ferguson. She had a dark brown horse I believe. Holly wasn't around at that point so my guess is that you were in the later 60's or 70's. Feel free to write me equitationlane@yahoo.com

[Party Rose]

Sorry, no camp photos from 68 & 70, only the ones from Olde Newberry. But if you'd like, I can find the photos from a few years ago showing the camp in it's "present state". The Hulicks sold the land and NOTHING has been done with it. Is that what you mean? I hope.

[Racetb*Aefvue Farm*Biziz Ltd.]

Jeez...you'd think it would be wall to wall McMansions by now! No..I was hoping for some really dorky camp fotos! http://chronicleforums.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

[wtywmn4]

Question of the day, where is Cindy Ferguson? Last I heard she was running a small barn in Glastonbury with her niece Kristin riding. She is a very good rider, as well as teacher..

[Party Rose]

Dorky??? Yes they were. http://chronicleforums.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_wink.gif I posted a new album which is not up yet. It'll be on the second page "Summer Camps" for you SRRC people.

In the mean time, you want dorky??? Try & see is <span class="ev_code_RED">This</span> (http://community.webshots.com/scripts/editPhotos.fcgi?action=showMyPhoto&albumID=175865819&photoID=178879914&security=DCymnY) link works. If not, go to Learning To Ride. It'll be the last photo.

I'll look in the next week for recent SRRC recent photos, I think from 2002, but someone has to request them for me to go through a huge effort. Also, should I open a Saddle River Riding Camp thread & see who's out there? We could start yet another clique and have a reunion.

[mbdobbs]

Okay, someone asked earlier what did I learn at SRRC? Wow, I was there much later than you guys, in 1982 and 1983. Then I stopped riding in 1984, and, well, started again in 2002, and I paid NO attention to horses in the meantime. Now that I'm riding seriously again, I'm amazed at how much I DIDN'T learn while there -- we never paid enough attention to transitions ... It's hard to remember, really. It sounds like they still live on all that property (?) It's certainly a beautiful location, though the winters must be unbearable. I have TONS of pictures from when I was there, but I have no idea where any of them are. And yes, that pool was a very strange shape.

So how did James die? Anyone know? It's a shame. He was a talented horseman. Oh, and when I was there, he was 27 and 28, or something like that. It's soooo wierd to be in touch with people who went there.

[Party Rose]

Oh, and no McMansions. It is amazing that it is EXACTLY the same, except that everything is overgrown and the cabins are more than falling down. Sally didn't want me to go in, but I had to go over to where my beds were to see if I could find something that I wrote. Nope, nothing there, but it was also 30+ years before. I actually "kinda" fell through the floors a few times, but it was worth it.

[Parminch]

This is somewhat off subject.... goes back to the last thread on the "good old days".... I saw Anne Huberth the other day and asked her the question about the ASPCA finals and whether she won the first finals or not. She told me that she was "not that old!!!!" However she did win the finals and she won the first finals held after they took a break for the war. She was surprised that there was not a list available and said she would put daughter Annie to work on trying to find a listing of all of the past winners.
This is a great thread! Fun to see and read! Keep it going.

[Party Rose]

VERY good news Parminch. It's funny how as a rerider I would refer to the ASPCA medal finals and people would answer "the what?".

As I keep saying, we need an Equestrian 101 course for those under the age of 40 it seems.

I just looked in a few of my old Garden programs to see if the past winners were listed. No, they aren't, but there is a photo of the engraved trophy. The writting is really small and most is unreadable, but I can try scanning it, sending it to photoshop & see if I can get a few names off of it if needed.

[Racetb*Aefvue Farm*Biziz Ltd.]

Found this old proof of Midget's foal "Encore"..and a leadline pony she was. Never held a candle to her dam!

[Racetb*Aefvue Farm*Biziz Ltd.]

Oh hell..won't let me post it alone...it's in my scrapbook though..I think I put some Grey Mist pics in too Cindi!!http://community.webshots.com/user/racetb

OMG. The HamptonClassicSS,Earl Of Gaylord pic is amazing! That could be my pick for best picture of this thread. I used to loff watching the side saddle classes at the Garden and Buffalo Intl.

*Dabbing at her eyes and clutching her stomach.* Stop, stop. I can't laugh anymore without getting a hernia!

Party Rose, if anyone has an old AHSA rule book, the winners of the ASPCA were in there. They used to put them in the front. Somehow, it went poof and disappeared. Have been rumaging, no luck yet..

My heels have always gone there--I think I must have double jointed ankles or something. http://chronicleforums.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif The thing that always strikes me about that photo is how far my foot is shoved into the stirrup. I had brand new Vogel boots that had been made for me and because I was a child and still growing, the man who did the measuring (Mr. Vogel?) made the feet a size too big. http://chronicleforums.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_mad.gif The only way I could get my foot in the right place was by ignoring the first two inches of the boot.

---Coming up for air, mid Olympics ---

Hey, how 'bout them Silver medal winners tonight!

I have only read a couple of pages of this thread, so aplogies if I have missed stuff from mid thread...

Equitation Lane, we already know we overlap -- Nancy Candib and Fleet Sailor and Lucy Coleman and Ilse. Also Brooke Hodgson and [Spindletop] Scotch Tweed -- remember Treeyews Zakona? Carol Walker and welcome Abord? Lisa Joy Rosen and her full brother/sister: one was a pony and one was a hony? And, of course, Kip Rosenthal and the wonderful Goodboy Dee. BUT -- who owned him before Kip? http://chronicleforums.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

We all remember Jerry. Do you also remember Chicken from the Cedar Lodge days?

Party Rose -- I believe Jimmy spelled his last name Arnot. He and I had quite the history when he came out to California as a trainer. Very sad when he died.

Cindy Ferguson was one of the nicest people in the world. And so was her mom. Always smiling and happy.

Silver! As Victor would say "How About That"!
Boy did you ring some memory bells...and yes, Cindy's Mom was the nicest and so was Cindy. I still miss Jimmy. I'm in Ct. so I should run into Cindy more often than I do. Anyway, the jumps were big..and the ridin' was superb today! God bless Bravo and USA networks..so nice to see the events in their entirety..instead of three seconds of some poor sot crashing. YAHOO!

[wtywmn4]

Last I had heard Racetb Cindy was supposedly moving to her sister's place in Mass.?

[Racetb*Aefvue Farm*Biziz Ltd.]

Is her sister a horse person, Wtywmn?

[Party Rose]

Sorry ladies for not playing much in the past few days. I'm hurting pretty badly & typing doesn't help. Lupus started kicking in today too, so hopefully soon I'll be back.

James died of MS. He had a long hard battle with it. Born December 5, 1953, died June 23, 1999. James won the AHSA (USEF) Medal Finals in 1970 and was second in the ASPCA Medal finals that same year. He lived in the house across the street, where he passed away.

I just posted a photo of the main barn. Not sure if it was taken in 1968, 1970, 1976 or 2002. http://community.webshots.com/photo/175962533/179365583qPiwhw

Racetb her sister is a trainer, and has a barn in Mass. can't remember her name. Kristin, Cindy's neice came to help her out in Ct. do the riding and show the horses. When I last heard, Cindy was supposedly moving to Mass to her sister's barn. The place in Glastonbury had been bought by a private party. Cindy did have a pretty good business there..She is one of the funniest people. We used to trade Victor stories, and have to say hers are the living best!!

[OLD A/O]

Dear Party Rose-

I am a computer moron and I tried to send you a private message but I could not . So everyone bear with me here.

When I saw my sister for the first time in three years I was so upset. I thought her boy friend had given her black eyes. She was wearing the butterfly mask because her health insurance had run out. When my brother explained to me what was happening we both made sure my sister got the correct meds.

I have so much respect for you Party Rose you do not know!!! Please keep riding and posting. I check on your posts often. I understand personally why you get tired but some of the posters may not. Please explain to them why you do and how much it takes just for you to post and ride.

To all of you lurkers and board members Party Rose is one he$$ of a person to do what she does!!! I do not think I could do what she does!!

I hope you have a better day tomorrow.

[Diamond Slew]

Somebody has mentioned the Hulicks - I remember them as little kids on little ponies winning a lot of ribbons. George Morris was my age as well as Victor Hugo-Vidal - with whom my best friend had a blind date one time, not successful. and a friend of mine dated Ronnie Mutch in college. Anybody remember Round Hill Stables & Teddy Wahl? Old fashioned hunter seat, but a great horseman who took loads of kids to the Garden in the 40's and 50's and often won. The jumper riders were mostly wild and wolly pros, until Betty Bosley came along with a big chestnut called The Clown and a beautiful equitation forward seat, and beat them all with a controlled approach to jumps and a snaffle instead of galloping sideways with 3 different martingales & big curbs & flinging over, rider a mile out of the tack. Back when a neck-leaning "release" was what beginners did before they got balance & a leg. If my company ever leaves I'll dig iin the attic for some 50's photos - and maybe get out my first now pale purple blue ribbon from Laddin Rock Stables in Old Greenwich, 1946!

[Party Rose]

OLD A/O -Aaaahhhhhhhhh. Talk about a HUGE pat on the back. Thanks so much. I still haven't touched the paper pile, but did get some outside plant watering done today & hope to get back on a horse in the morning or Friday. I'll just have to see. It's all just a fine balance. I'll explain everything in the next few days, as it will take time, LOTS of energy & many ups & downs from the desk. My elbows are REALLY ugly from propping my back up on my desk as I type.

PT/PM'ing is pretty easy, IF you know where to go. I have mine set up so that I do not have to go check them on the COTH board. They come directly to me through my Outlook/regular email with my server. More on that later, as that is lesson #3.

Lesson #1:
To view sent and received (in & outcoming) private messages:
Go to "Go" on the tool bar
Then "My Space"
Then "Private Messaging"

Lesson #2:
To post a private message
Click on the persons name (like mine on the upper left of this post) that you want to send a message to
The click on "Invite so & so to a private topic"
Type in your subject
Type in your message
Click "post now"

The message will be sent to only that person and is for their eyes only. Send me a test PT/PM. I hope this helps.

Now to see if you have you passed lessons 1 & 2 with flying colors. http://chronicleforums.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_wink.gif

[Racetb*Aefvue Farm*Biziz Ltd.]

Three different martingales and giant curbs flinging everywhere..The memories just keep comin'...LOL!! Thanks Diamond Slew..and Partyrose..feel well. Our prayers are with you.

[SillyHorse]

Feel better soon, Party Rose!

[Party Rose]

Thanks all http://chronicleforums.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif. I am better and have actually gotten to some of my paper pile, which had the ability (horray) to get moved off of the kitchen counter a few minutes ago. However, I am determined to get some more done today, so my participation on the boards will be limited.

I'm going to ride tomorrow. http://chronicleforums.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

[Party Rose]

Well I finally did it. http://chronicleforums.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif I found a few rolls of film that I took in the summer of 2001 at SRRC that I am going to scan and put in my Web Shots album. I'll let you all know when they are posted. I'll post them to the Victor, James & Gail album.

What I'm wondering though, is if I should keep the subject in this thread (it is relevant) or should we start a SRRC thread? Should we have a SRRC Cyber Reunion via COTH BB? I need your input.

[Party Rose]

They are scanned and entered under the "Summer Camps" album. I think that I got all in that I wanted too, but I'll have to check tomorrow. Also, I tried putting one of James's house in & I had lots of difficulty. Either it won't be there, be there once or possibly twice. I'll have to check it in them morning.

Also....Should I open up a "Saddle River Riding Camp Cyber Reunion" thread?

Bummer. It took many 1 inch Hershey's almond bars to get me through this project. Oh well. I think that you old campers will appreciate these photos. Have fun....Enjoy...........

[Racetb*Aefvue Farm*Biziz Ltd.]

Wow Party Rose..good job!! I was Camp Foxwood, not Hulicks; But I was there often enough and those pics are gonna jar some memories. I guess you could start a reunion thread..or just group our ramblings under "Old Farts" http://chronicleforums.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_cool.gif

[Party Rose]

Racetb-Do tell about Foxwood. PLEASE........

I just looked at my Saddle River Riding Camp photos (http://community.webshots.com/album/178867964QAwiao) and I see that I have to dig the pictures out again & rescan the one of the main barn. Sorry it's wobbly. I was really tired trying to get this done late last night.

[Party Rose]

Barn photo is rescanned and entered into Webshots and a few other minor adjustments have been made. As of now, Webshots has not updated my album, so bear with me. I haven't done a 100% proof read of the album yet either. Gotta go ride before it gets too hot.

[Racetb*Aefvue Farm*Biziz Ltd.]

Camp Foxwood...run by Joan Hatch in Stamford Vermont. Oh, Party Rose..don't let me commence! Suffice it to say it made Saddle River look like a nunnery and Marion the Mother Superior. There are still a handful of folks on the circuit from Foxwood..ANY "Foxwood girls" lurking out there??????

Party Rose, thanks for the SRRC photos. I spent the summer of '65 in the cabin to the right of yours as you faced the pool/pond. http://chronicleforums.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

[Party Rose]

AHHHHHHHH LaurieB. I missed you. Are you talking about the three smaller ones between the larger ones and the pond, or the larger ones in front of the pool?

Very funny story speaking of Mother Superior and a nunnery. I got a letter from my boyfriend the first summer I was there and left it on my bed when I went out for the afternoon. Someone looked at it and very quickly the Mother Superior was having a chat with me. It appears that word of mouth to mouth to mouth got the contents changed as you can imagine. Saul was telling me that his camp counselor's girlfriend was pregnant. So the whole camp thought that it was actually me. 15 & pregnant in the Nunnery for the summer. http://chronicleforums.com/images/custom_smilies/lol.gif

I have no idea. http://chronicleforums.com/images/custom_smilies/lol.gif http://chronicleforums.com/images/custom_smilies/lol.gif

That was a looong time ago. http://chronicleforums.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif Here's the layout I remember. If you were standing with your back to the pool, then the arts and crafts cabin would have been on your left, as well as another cabin that campers used. In front of you would have been three (ack! maybe four?) cabins that each slept seven campers and a counselor. "My" cabin was the farthest left of that line of cabins as you stood up the slope looking down at them.

Does that sound even remotely right? http://chronicleforums.com/images/custom_smilies/lol.gif http://chronicleforums.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_confused.gif http://chronicleforums.com/images/custom_smilies/lol.gif

I am not sure how I missed this thread over the last few weeks.

I am doing some marathon work days this weekend. Party Rose I have not been able to connect to your web shot links, I hope it has not imploded.

Like Bumpkin, I know some of these names from reading COTH and "Horses" back in the day. Bumpkin has an amazing memory for these things, mine, not so much.

I look forward to spending some quality time looking at linen coats, jumps without fillers and automatic releases.

Just posted a 1975ish Saddle & Bridle Club show barn pic in my web shots album. The pic shows G.J. (Grover) Jackson, one of the best grooms ever. I can still hear him drawl, "Tighten up there up on that hill" at the Bradford Valley Hunt Club show. Note the oxblood field boots Lisa Dwyer is wearing (wasn't someone asking about that color on another thread not too long ago?). And, the obligatory grey jacket with a velvet collar thrown over the chair http://chronicleforums.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_wink.gif

Thanks to Molly Neville for digging this one out of her files!

[Cindeye]

And RaceTB...where in Hades are those Grey Mist pictures you threatened us with? Hmmmm?

[Party Rose]

I'm going to have to take this one at a time.
LaurieB Yep, I can't remember if there were three, but I think that it was four larger. Was the one you were in the one that the youngest campers were in? I spent the firsr summer in the one by the arts & crafts cabin and the second in the middle one of the three smaller, in front of the pond, on the same row as the office.

[Party Rose]

hoopoe - Shame, shame for working so hard and missing all the fun. I think that Cindeye should get "the" award for the most fun thread of the year.

I really don't know why you can't see my photos? Can you see other peoples Webshots? Possibly it's your computer. I don't think that anyone else has had problems accessing my pictures. Try copying the link & pasting it to a google search. That might do the trick.

Have a blast spending "quality time" browsing & bringing back the memories. It's amazing how much we have forgotten until..........I think best to stop or I'll age myself too, too much.

[Party Rose]

Cindeye - I'll have to check out the photos during commercials. Gotta go shower quick so I can catch the new Hawaii show on TV. Hope it's a good one. Also I got your PT & will write a bit later too. http://chronicleforums.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

[Party Rose]

Love the shot of Grover & the girls. What a neat photo. I do hope that you called him Grover and not GJ. I couldn't get that one off of my tongue.

[Racetb*Aefvue Farm*Biziz Ltd.]

Okay! Found some Cindeye!! In the standing pic..OMG, could I HAVE any more velvet on my jacket?? 2nd pic..The horrid wall at Farmington,3rd pic..Buddy on Rinwood, mud knot, brown boots, rust breeches and all!

[Racetb*Aefvue Farm*Biziz Ltd.]

Only lets me post one at a time...Buddy above..this one is Grey Mist..velvet splendor

[Racetb*Aefvue Farm*Biziz Ltd.]

and that godawful wall at Farmington...this is the jump where Don Stewart writes AJ on his card. Aunt Jemima..flat as a pancake!!!

[Party Rose]

Racetb - You have now set me up for a great day thanks. Now I must leave to get an oil change, Starbucks (we always treat the ride back to the barn) and back here to ride by 8:00 am.

Cool shots. http://chronicleforums.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_cool.gif

[Racetb*Aefvue Farm*Biziz Ltd.]

How the mighty have fallen! Okay old farts club...time to post a VERY RECENT mug of yourselves..you may post or describe your finest hour in the old days..and then, the new mug! http://chronicleforums.com/images/custom_smilies/winkgrin.gif
Finest hour: Training at Gladstone after the 1974 Screening Trials.
Pictured today: Riding leg hanging kid's ponies on hunter paces..arrrrrggghhhh!!!!

[Cindeye]

Yeah! Now that's what I'm talkin' about!
Loved the Buddy/Rinwood pic. Could that noseband have been any wider? I'm pretty sure that qualifies as a "piece of furniture" as one of my trainers used to call the old bridles.

Sooooooo nice to see Grey Mist pics. What a face. Loved your AJ comment. I've got a few of those pancake shots too.

If you two think you're going to get a current picture of me before I lose 50 pounds, you're sadly misguided http://chronicleforums.com/images/custom_smilies/lol.gif

Must...Go...Get...A...Prarie...Dog...Now! OMG, that front porch shot is too cute for words.

I've already taken off 30 since December, but need another 30+ before I let someone take a shot of me. Besides, I'm the photographer here and you know how photographers HATE their picture taken. LOL http://chronicleforums.com/images/custom_smilies/lol.gif

[Party Rose]

Racetb - I borrowed your last two photos, played with them on PhotoShop and posted them to Webshots for you. Webshots has not updated yet, so I have no direct link for you at this time. They'll be on the second page under "Photos Taken By Others". Please let me know when you're done with them so I can delete them. I just did a little work, so don't expect a miracle. I hope you like them. Just a different perspective with a higher DPI. Didn't even sharpen, add contrast, color, etc. Just rotated, cropped and got out some of the age spots. Have fun with them.

[Racetb*Aefvue Farm*Biziz Ltd.]

THANK YOU!!!! I'm an idiot with photoshop so I really appreciate it. Now, get to work with your editing talents and I KNOW you and Cindi can come up with perfectly acceptable new fotos...I'm not lettin' you guys off the hook! http://chronicleforums.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

[Party Rose]

<BLOCKQUOTE class="ip-ubbcode-quote"><font size="-1">quote:</font><HR> I'm not lettin' you guys off the hook! <HR></BLOCKQUOTE> Well give us 12 months, ok?? Yes, I can take lbs off with PhotoShop & do it all the time for sale ad photos. Off of the rider of course, not the horse.

Have you copied the photos from Webshots so I can erase them?

[Racetb*Aefvue Farm*Biziz Ltd.]

Oh, alright http://chronicleforums.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_wink.gifJust got the pics..THANK YOU!!!!!

[Party Rose]

Deleted.......Enjoy http://chronicleforums.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

we just finished moving into our new house, but i will dig through the boxes and see what treasures we may have buried! One of my favorite old pic's is Buddy warming Felton up for the Invitational...over an offset http://chronicleforums.com/images/custom_smilies/winkgrin.gif
Of course, someone will have to tell me how I would go about posting it!
