"DOUBLE JEOPARDY!" - Old Horse Show Trivia

[Lord Helpus]

SPEED HORSES --

Name the mare that Leslie used as a speed horse. She was wicked fast, but had NO breaks --- at Ocala one year, Leslie had to circle the ring about 5 times after finishing the course because she could not get the mare to stop (or even slow down...)

The very first speed horse that Leslie had was a mare named Casablanca. The Mckinney's owned her.

I don't remember ever bringing her to Fla. though. Of course, it was a long time ago, so maybe... She was Leslie's speed horse at her first world cup final in Baltimore. What year was it Laurie? Conrad won with Balbuco.

[Ruby G. Weber]

That brown speed horse? Caroline Clark's The Roofer? Do you remember the spoon bit?

[Ruby G. Weber]

Yes, it was Bunny and George Weber who won three of four jumping classes at NY that year. She was second in the fourth class. That class was won by Hoodwink ridden then by Carl Linder.

[buryinghill1]

I knew it. B. French and the pulled tail super-hunter. I knew it all the time!
Ha!
Now. Who took care of that horse and made him gleam?
/infopop/emoticons/icon_razz.gif /infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif
Musta been that flax seed! /infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif

[buryinghill1]

What was (jr hunter champ) Watership Down's barn name?
What was George Weber's? (Emmet may not play)

[buryinghill2]

Can I play?

[Kennett Square]

George Weber's original name was Superman and he was purchasd from Scotty Sherman.

[buryinghill1]

Oops Abby. I thought I had both you and Emmet on the ineligible list!
OK, you can play if you can guess BOTH nicknames.

Nickname! KS! nickname...

/infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif

[Ruby G. Weber]

How 'bout Whadyasay's alias?

And yes, Yellow, he did consume flax seed, at least under my watch. What a character.

[GoodbyeOklahoma]

A.K.A. Bunnyhop

[buryinghill2]

We called Watership Down "Bunny" around the barn. He was frequently into trouble though, and when I was mad at him I would call him "Watership" and on occasion worse. He wasn't always the most pleasant guy to be around. I once turned my back on him in the stall and he came across the length of the stall and grabbed me by the shoulder. Left a sizeable bruise and teeth marks. I loved him though, and I think he mellowed as he got older. He was always a blast to ride, in spite of "the spook" as Timmy called it. He was certainly a horse that always challenged us...

[lauriep]

was in 1980.

Yes, Emmet, you are indeed right! And Roofer's brakes were questionable at times as well!

This thread is so much fun!!

Laurie

[Jody]

I remember his retirement at the Washington Horseshow at the Us Air Arena. Katie and the Firestone family was there... Cant' remember his nickname... Old age, maybe???? /infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif

[Ruby G. Weber]

I have the cutest pic of Soupy and Dudley nose to nose with their grooms "waiting" on the ramp at Washington. Too bad I can't post it, or probably even find it!

Those days seem so long gone, especially now.

By the way, for all you former caretakers...Sally Ike brought saddle blankets to the Gold Cup for all to wear. I can hardly describe how it felt to put one of those on again.

[Gnarly]

Emmet, we heard the AGC pads were your idea. God bless you. Placing that pad on a horse makes one teary-eyed anyhow. This week it would have made me bawl.
God Bless America.
Peace.

Whadyasay... Dudley (or "Whad" at Katies). Yes?

[lauriep]

I still have Buccy's and Pueblo's from '78 and from the '79 World Cup, with all of my pins on them. I get teary eyed everytime I get them out.

Speaking of the World Cup, who DID win the first one, who was the highest placed American and what place was it?

Laurie

[Ruby G. Weber]

Thanks, PB.

LP, you got me on that one. I have Spy's from '74, somewhere.

[KLG]

Hugo Simon won on Gladstone Fatie Monahan on Jones Boy was 2nd

[KLG]

sorry Katie

[lauriep]

That would be correct. The Europeans were so impressed with Katie and Jonesie, that the cheering at the end was definitely slanted towards her, much to Hugo's chagrin! Gladstone (how ironic!) was a lovely horse...

Jonesie contracted a horrible disease, purpura, while in Sweden, and was out for a long time. However, he did make a comeback. He also won another big class. Can anyone tell me what class it was and when? Also, who was Jonesie's groom who saw him through his illness?

Laurie

[buryinghill1]

I can SEE his face.. can't recall his name...

But the VET was Danny Marks, right? /infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif


(If it was Allen Leslie I hang my head in shame!)

[lauriep]

for the vet, it was Danny, although Allen was probably involved to some extent.

Hint: the groom has been with the rider for a long time...

Laurie

[buryinghill1]

I'll take types of bellboots for $100, Alex. /infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

[nutmeg]

Who is Pancho Lopez?

[lauriep]

YD, can you name the class and year of The Jones Boy's comeback win?

Laurie

[buryinghill1]

I cried.
Like I said before . I don't remember much. /infopop/emoticons/icon_razz.gif

I am stumped. How about initials!

[buryinghill1]

Not Pancho.
Good guess. /infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

[lauriep]

GP OF TAMPA, 1980!

A joint answer, so you both get half of the value.

Let's see, half of nothing is...

Laurie

[Ruby G. Weber]

Name a successful working hunter who later had a mildly successful career in the preliminary jumpers.

[Lord Helpus]

<BLOCKQUOTE class="ip-ubbcode-quote"><font size="-1">quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by Emmet:
Name a successful working hunter who later had a mildly successful career in the preliminary jumpers.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>


There is probably more than one, but ONE right answer is Modest Man. Although Linda would prefer to have him categorized as a Conformation hunter instead of a working hunter, I am sure :O))

What was Modest Man's barn name???

[Ruby G. Weber]

is not who I had in mind although I'll take LH's word for him fitting the description.

What hunter's name signifies what most everyone would like to see happen in the near future? Alex? Again, probably more than one "right" answer.

[KLG]

Another March

[buryinghill1]

Something that Don Stewart had with Michael Matz

My brain has melted, though.

[KLG]

John Madden also groomed Jonies

[KLG]

Meant to Be was with Don and Michael

[Ruby G. Weber]

I'm thinking of San Felipe.

[KLG]

who showed Gem Twist on the team in 1986 at NY?

[Ruby G. Weber]

Was is Leslie?

[KLG]

nope

[Gifty]

i thought only greg, leslie and laura ever showed in in gp's.

Based on that I would have to say Greg, but that seems to easy.

I may not always win, but I will always try to win.

[KLG]

this was before greg showed him in GPs

[buryinghill1]

Linda Murat?

[Alex Trebek]

One for the hunter folks, since I don't have a prayer of guessing the jumper one: name 4 people, in order, that showed Gozzi, 2 pros and 2 juniors.

[showjump]

Not sure about this but I'll try: Kenny Wheeler-Bernie Trauig-Pro's. Bonnie (I can't remember her last name, Blake maybe) Caroline Clark Jr's

ps: I think he started at Bucky Reynolds as a 3 year old and Genie Grigsby had him. I'm not sure if he was ever shown with them.

[Alex Trebek]

Right on all scores, showjump - I was thinking of Bucky and even forgot about Kenny showing him too.

[showjump]

Wow Alex....I'm glad my memory served me well. Here's one for you. What famous hunter from the late 70's early 80's became a very successful A/O horse. Name horse and rider. I don't think this horse had ever been ridden by anyone but a pro.

[KLG]

Ok guys I have to let you know, I am proud of this stumper though LOL Conrad Holmfeld, used Gem Twist as his speed horse at the 1986 National

[Ruby G. Weber]

Thanks. I was on the edge of my chair.

OK. Who rode Idle Dice aside from RJ?

[schmoe]

Ruxton that you are talking about? He was shown by Charlie Weaver and then went to Ellen Van Dyke and was successful in the A/O.

[showjump]

Excellent schmoe! That is just who I was talking about. Do you remember Kenny Wheeler showing him before Charlie went to work for them? Ruxton was so hard to beat in any division.

[buryinghill2]

Emmett-
Didn't Buddy ride Ike some towards the end of his career?

[showjump]

I remember Steve Stephens riding him. Can't remember which Grand Prix it was though, maybe The Invitational or Lake Placid.

[equitationlane]

Bernie Traurig showed him in the hunters as a young horse. I believe he was champion in the greens at Fairfield just before Rodney got him.

[lauriep]

you may have been thinking of Tommy Veile, who worked for eons for the Team, but went to Hunterdon after leaving Gladstone, and had the care of Jonesie in Sweden and when he got sick. But Pancho saw him through the illness and recovery, using placentas (I want to say lamb)to poultice his hind legs in from ankle to stifle, more than once a day to start. It was quite a radical treatment, but Danny can take full credit that the horse lived, much less performed again!

I had the answer for Ruxton, one of the few hunter questions I'll be able to answer, but schmoe beat me to it!

Laurie

[Gifty]

I finally have I one, at least I think my memory is working correctly.

Who rode Ruxton prior to the Wheelers?

I may not always win, but I will always try to win.

[KLG]

Bernie Traurig as a hunter, Buddy Brown with the uset

[Kryswyn]

<BLOCKQUOTE class="ip-ubbcode-quote"><font size="-1">quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by Emmet:

What hunter's name signifies what most everyone would like to see happen in the near future? Alex? Again, probably more than one "right" answer.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

OMG I think I finally know one!!

Who is Peace n' Plenty?

For bonus points: owned/ridden by RoseMarie Bogley?

~Kryswyn~
"Always look on the bright side of life, de doo, de doo de doo de doo"

[schmoe]

Who is another hunter who was ridden by professional(s), before he went on to be successful with the same A/O that Ruxton did?

[showjump]

Would that be Scot To Do?

[Ruby G. Weber]

Bernie and Buddy are correct. But I believe Michael Hunter actually threw a leg over him as well. Also, Terry Rudd rode him at Newport one year.

Kryswyn, Good one! I had in mind Debbie Wilson's Market Rise.

I imagine Maryann Stiert (sp) also rode Ruxton.

[schmoe]

Good job. Scot To Do was who I was talking about. Where did he come from and who rode him as a professional?

[Lord Helpus]

Scot to Do came from Jimmy Lee's barn and was ridden by, um, Jimmy's rider. Why do I think that was Marianne?

[Gifty]

MaryAnn may have ridden Ruxton, but that is not who I was thinking of.

This would have been one of the very first pros to have him. I believe the ones that "found" him as well.

I may not always win, but I will always try to win.

[lauriep]

Katie rode two liver chestnut jumpers to great success; although similar in color, they had VERY different names. Who were they?

Laurie

[lauriep]

bump!

Monday, I will have a visual "Guess Who?" Abby and Emmet will be ineligible, sorry!

Laurie

[lauriep]

bump!

Laurie

[Jody]

I'm stumped... what was his barn name???

[Ruby G. Weber]

at least when Kiwi took care of him was "Dudley".

Can't wait LP. Wish I could send some of mine to you.

[buryinghill2]

I'll be interested to see Monday's guess who LP. I can only think of one horse that moved from Emmett's barn to mine, that we both were responsible for. Of course, there are probably more..

[Kennett Square]

Peace and Plenty was a beautiful side saddle horse that Rose Marie Bogley showed in the late 70's and early 80's. It was groomed to perfection by the late Peter Wilson and we were given much entertainment to see he or Bill Wolfe school it for her while riding side saddle sans habit!!!

What Junior hunter in the 70's went on later to be a top grand prix horse ridden by the said junior (who at that time was a an adult)?

ALEX???

[equitationlane]

Would that be The Irishman and Cindy Perrin?

[lauriep]

I still have a trivia question on the table...

Emmet and Abby, the guess who had nothing to do with you two, but you will recognize it instantly, Emmet, you've already seen it!

Hurry up with my trivia question, I've got another one of those, too!

Guess who will be up this afternoon, if I can figure out this posting thing.

Emmet, bring pics to Culpeper this weekend; I'll see you Sunday!

Laurie

[Bumpkin]

Another awesome lady, like Betty Oare.
Does she still ride?
I loved her voice. She use to have a cute little shop in Middleburg. /infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

[buryinghill1]

Phew. You guys have great memories.

How about what horse won the first Olympic TRIAL for the 1984 games?

Rider was an amateur jumper exhibitor.

/infopop/emoticons/icon_razz.gif

[lauriep]

could you mean Sandsablaze and Buddy Brown?

Laurie

[lauriep]

I scanned it, saved it as a jpeg file and uploaded it. Then was told it was too big a file (416 kps) and I'm only allowed 293. Do I have to go back to the scanner software and reduce it? Is this just a matter of cropping unnecessary background? Advice, please!

STILL no takers on the Katie/liver chestnut jumper question? /infopop/emoticons/icon_rolleyes.gif How easily you folks are discouraged!

Guess who will wait until I get advice/get back to scanner tomorrow!

Laurie

[MAD]

STILL no takers on the Katie/liver chestnut jumper question? How easily you folks are discouraged!

Laurie, I emailed Lori G. in France (she works for Katie) for the answer. Is that cheating???

[lauriep]

/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

Have certainly enjoyed your coverage of Alice's experiences in Europe since Sept. 11; please thank her for me for sharing, and also for competing in the Nation's Cup finals. I do think it was important for us to make a showing there!

C'mon, any other guesses? Abby and Emmet, you ARE eligible for this one!

Laurie

[buryinghill1]

Mrs Averell Harriman's...

somethingerother /infopop/emoticons/icon_confused.gif

[MAD]

...the email address is actually Katie's!

Thanks for the nice words about Alice and the team in Spain. I think they did a great job.

Can you send the Guess Who picture to my email address and let me see if I can fix it and I'll email it back to you? I have several photo programs; one should be able to something.

-Marie

[nutmeg]

Who are Bean Bag & Special Envoy?

[MAD]

Darn, Nutmeg, you are right and I can't even win when I cheat.

[lauriep]

they are not the ones I was thinking of. You have to think back to my "era;" I believe Buddy was riding Bean Bag at the time, and Special Envoy wasn't on the scene yet.

I was thinking of Pantheon and Jethro! My next clue was going to be that their names were complete opposites in type, one classic and one "hillbilly!"

OK, next question: who won the first American Jumping Derby in 1976? Horse and rider.

Laurie /infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif /infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif /infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif /infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

[Alex Trebek]

Afraid I'm stumped on the jumper question Laurie.
Here's a hunter one though: Very successful bay mare owned by Mrs. A.C. Randolph who went on to become an equally successful jr. hunter. Name horse, pro rider, and jr. rider.

[Ruby G. Weber]

Singapore/Bernie Traurig

The event was not sanctioned by AHSA that year.

Alex...Charlie Weaver was the jr. rider. Horse escapes me.

[Alex Trebek]

Nope, Emmett -need to clarify - NOT the junior rider at the same time (ie. not Charlie) - but trust me, YOU, of anyone, will know this one! LOL

[lauriep]

Very famous jumper, retired and his groom, also retired.

Abby & Emmet, sorry, ineligible!

Laurie

[Gnarly]

"SPYL"
OSPYLAC

ECITSUE DYS /infopop/emoticons/icon_razz.gif

[equitationlane]

Waht was the names of two junior hunters that also showed, and won, in the open divisions with the junior riding. Both horses came from St. Louis but were best known in the East.

Hint: They were named after a street and town.

To Lauirep. Is that Calypso?

[PineTreeFarm]

Highclere and Valhalla

[equitationlane]

Very Good! /infopop/emoticons/icon_cool.gif
Now for the million dollar bonus, who found the horses for the junior rider, what was the rider's name and what was the name or stable of the person in St Louis? /infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

[Gifty]

Patty your too funny!

Even I knew that was Calypso, however knowing the groom is a tad before my time.

I may not always win, but I will always try to win.

[brilyntrip]

but Sandsablaze and Buddy Brown
I THINK SPECIAL ENVOY was grey so it must be Bean Bag

[Alex Trebek]

Not even one GUESS to my question above? Have I stumped Emmet?!

[Anne]

Brilyn, Special Envoy was definitely chestnut.

You're confusing him with another of Katie's jumpers from the same timeframe who WAS gray.

Can anyone name this horse?

[Lord Helpus]

Tina Pfister lived on Highclere Street in Valhalla, NY. She named the horses after her street and town when she got them. I do not know the answer to the St Louis connection, though.

[equitationlane]

Right about Tina. George Morris was in St.Louis giving a clinic at B&B Farms, Martha Baskowitz. As he said,"he stole those horses" /infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

[Kennett Square]

Yes Laurie,

It was Sandsablaze and Buddy Brown who went from Juniors to the Grand Prix ring. I've had the virus bug and couldn't get on, sorry!!!

[schmoe]

had a grey jumper named Partly Cloudy that could have been around during the Special Envoy days.

[Michelle Mc]

Was also ridden by Whadyasay's A/O rider.
Name horse and rider. /infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

[buryinghill1]

Besides doing the junior hunters, jumpers and <sadly> ending his career in the Grand Prix - what ELSE did he do?
And what was his nickname?
And what was Buddy's farm name?
And while I'm on a ROLL - name the street and town!

HAHAHAHAHA /infopop/emoticons/icon_eek.gif

[buryinghill1]

and what GP rider lived on that farm after Buddy? /infopop/emoticons/icon_razz.gif

[Janet]

this one was a jumper ridden by Barney Ward.

Lord Helpus doesn't get to answer because she lived on that street.

[buryinghill1]

Barney ...
Guard Hill Road. Nope.
How about McLain (Street)? /infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif

[Janet]

Yes. McLain Street is right. I guess it was to easy.

I'll try to come up with a harder one.

[MAD]

Barney lived on the corner of Guard Hill and Rte. 22 at Shannon Stables-it was never on McLain Street.

Buddy was in South Salem, NY and Norman had the farm after him...on Spring Street?

[buryinghill1]

Buddy's barn was on Spring and Boway (I was looking for Boway).
And yes Norman was in that barn next. You guys are hard to stump sometimes.

[MAD]

Boway! That's it! I can find it, but couldn't think of the name.

What was the name of the bar that everyone went to on Spring Street (in South Salem)? Patty Boyd...you out there?

[Gnarly]

Such trivia!!
My knowledge of South Salem (since y'all haven't guessed the town) goes back long before MAD was born. My bar stomping was not in S.S., sorry.
The only thing I recall of S.S. was a general store "downtown," and the cemetery on Rt.35 (is that the route that goes to Katonah?).
A bar? nope.

[Janet]

<BLOCKQUOTE class="ip-ubbcode-quote"><font size="-1">quote:</font><HR>Barney lived on the corner of Guard Hill and Rte. 22 at Shannon Stables-it was never on McLain Street <HR></BLOCKQUOTE>I never suggested Barney lived on McLain Street. But he had a horse named McLlain Street. Am I the only one that remembers it?

Lord Helpus lived on McLain Street (actually at the intersection of McLain and Guard Hill)

[MAD]

<<goes back long before MAD was born>>

Thanks!!

But, Patty, I think we are of about the same era.

[Leesa]

Kim Rachuba was called back for the flat work in the ASPCA finals. She didn't ride, do you remember why?

[lauriep]

"Pappy," also did the equitation; I believe he was Buddy's Medal win mount. Derby Hill was his farm in South Salem. Do not know the street name.

Katie had Silver Exchange and later Silver Skates. Could Silver Skates be the gray in question?

For those still on the liver chestnut question, it was Pantheon and Jethro I was looking for.

Emmet is in Culpeper and may not be playing until after she gets home.

Laurie

[GoodbyeOklahoma]

The Blaze?? Blazer's?? Something akin to that, yes? What fun! /infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

[MAD]

The Blazer is on Rte. 22 in Purdys, NY (still there) off Exit 7 on Route 684 and has the best hamburgers.

No, what I am thinking of is called something like the Horse & Hound. It might might still be there and I was kind of asking a question to see if anyone knew.

[Kennett Square]

Kim didn't come back to the flat phase because she went to church and didn't make it back in time.

[Gnarly]

I remember the name. That is all. Maybe that's a bad sign! /infopop/emoticons/icon_eek.gif
I remember the going to church fiasco! How sad.
I once sent a horse "back to the truck" (parked at the bottom of "the ramp"). It got unbraided, cleaned up and was ready to ship back to CT. The kid had a great trip. We figured the judges missed him. Then Victor (himself!) announced the stand-by list was wrong! Fasted rebraid job I have ever seen!
Guess the kid !!!
(MAD, we are not from the same era. I am prehistoric /infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif ).

[buryinghill1]

I still have a D.H. hat :-)

[Lord Helpus]

Janet,

Someone finally asks a question that I can POSITIVELY answer (McLain St.) and you exclude me. Not fair! /infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

Many people have named animals after people, but how many have named their child (McLain) after their favorite horse? LOL

Next question: Who owned that barn on Rt 22 and Guard Hill before Barney and what was the name of the barn then? (This is a *slight* trick question -- the person who knows the exact answer probably lived in Bedford during that time.)

(And who was riding through the arch into the stable yard of said barn when she first heard the news that Kennedy had been shot? --- Answer: me.... Don't we all remember where we were at that exact moment?)

[As an aside, I was riding when I heard about Kennedy (and was told by the head groom, Fred). I was driving to ride my horse in Ca. when I heard about the Challenger disaster on the radio and I was on my way to the Keeneland Yearling Sales when I got a call on my cell phone about the attack on the WTC. Seems like I am always involved with horses, only the technology of the communication of the information becomes more sophisticated...]

OK for you S Salem people: Who owned Fairweather Farms in S Salem and what was the maiden name of the man's second wife and the name of her nice junior horse?

[buryinghill1]

And what was the guy's name who delivered HAY to Fairweather? /infopop/emoticons/icon_eek.gif

[buryinghill1]

was Shannon Stables... hmmm, previous owner...
god give me strength. I just can't recall the name now!
Can I use a lifeline now? /infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

[equitationlane]

It was Artie Hawkins, or should I say Frank and family /infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif

[Bumpkin]

Mr Bumpkin has no clue, but I chose the name Devon for my daughter's middle name, because I loved the lovely grey hunter Devon.
He was sold from here to the East coast many years ago and passed away a few years back.
I also used Devon because of the area of England where the JRT was originated, but whenever I think or hear her middle name the horse, Devon, comes to mind first. /infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif

[Janet]

even though you know I know the answer.

Fairweather Farm was owned by the Lords. "Old" Mr Lord's second wife was Margot Graham, who was MUCH younger. I don't remember her horse's name.

The Fairweather Farm Family Horse Shows were my favorite shows of the year.

Arthur Hawkins had Shannon before Barney.

New question- who ran Shannon AFTER Barney? And what private show barn did he move to after that?

What talented junior rider was killed in a freak jumping accident at Fairweather Farm Family Horse Show? (I am not ABSOLUTELY postive it was at FFFHS, but if not there at another show in N or S Salem.)

[Janet]

A friend of mine named her son Devon because:

The first time she qualified for Devon she couldn't go because she was pregnant with him.

[Gnarly]

Old folks:
How did Coker Farm (Bedford version) get it's name?
And what was the previous name of that farm? /infopop/emoticons/icon_eek.gif

[buryinghill2]

Lord Helpus-
Mclain the horse was named after Mclain the child, not the other way around.

[buryinghill1]

Sort of like YellowDog was named after Abby! /infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif

[buryinghill1]

John Williams, Jr. ("John Boy") had a PALOMINO hunter (shown by Leslie BURR)

Name the yellow horse. /infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

[Janet]

<BLOCKQUOTE class="ip-ubbcode-quote"><font size="-1">quote:</font><HR> How did Coker Farm (Bedford version) get it's name?

And what was the previous name of that farm? <HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

Don't know on the first one.

Before it was Coker it was Running Fox Farm, owned by "Uncle" Harry Gibson, who was MFH of Goldens Bridge Hounds, and bred TB race horses. They later moved to Colorado.

He was quite closely related (son? grandson?) to the artist of "Gibson Girl" fame. And QUITE a character himself.

Some of the first (if not the VERY first) Icelandic ponies brought into the US were stabled for a while at Running Fox.

When GBHPC split into a Northern (N and S Salem) and Southern (Bedford) division, the southern group was named Running Fox PC.

[buryinghill2]

Yellow Dog-
I remember the palomino horse that John Boy had but not his name. How in the world do you remember it? The horse never amounted to anything! I recall taking that little yellow horse to Fla. one year.

[lauriep]

Abby, but not the name. Wasn't JB awfully proud of it? I can picture him on the end of the reins holding it for Leslie...

Laurie

[buryinghill1]

.. was named Fool's Gold...

It used to LIE DOWN at the ring all the time. As if it were a goat! It was perfectly healthy, just liked the easy life. /infopop/emoticons/icon_eek.gif

[buryinghill2]

I can't believe anyone would remember that little horse except JB himself.
Does anyone know the name of the first horse that Jane Clark had that Leslie showed? Yellowdog, you may not play, too easy for you. It was a wonderful horse and the start of one of the most enduring owner/rider combos ever.

[buryinghill2]

A better Leslie Burr trivia question-
In the 70's, Leslie had the best green horse at Washington three years in a row. The odd thing was, all three were grey quarter horses. Can anyone name them all? Any of them? Yellowdog, you can play, but no cheating!

[buryinghill1]

/infopop/emoticons/icon_razz.gif

[MBS]

Ok I am in now. I have enjoyed lurking too long. Are the three greys Spiff n Polish, Silk n Satin and Nashville Brass?

And is Jane's horse Mystic Emperor??

Abby guess who I was talking to on the phone today?LOL

Also my unemployment status has gotten me so nervous, I actually went to talk to Bruce at the club yesterday. The thought of being a 40 year old groom is scary for me but if it doesn't bother Austin and could help me stay out of debt, I guess I could handle it.

[MAD]

...was named after Judy Richter's (first?) horse Mr. Coker.
==============================
Prehistoric, Patty Boyd?
Let's try to narrow this down.
okay...were you alive
During WWI?
during WWII?
Korean War?
When JFK, Jr. was born?
When JFK was shot?

[Gnarly]

wow.
I didn't think ANYBODY would remember Mr. Coker!

Age? Come on. Just count my wrinkles! and I have many, many internal rings - like a redwood. /infopop/emoticons/icon_razz.gif /infopop/emoticons/icon_eek.gif /infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif and like a HITS horse show.

[Anne]

No one got the gray jumper of Katie's that I was thinking of. One more hint: he came from Scandinavia and his name reflects it.

Michelle Mc, is this the same horse ridden by Whadayasay!'s A/O rider?

[nutmeg]

Nordic Venture a/k/a No-dic?

[Gnarly]

Beat me to Nordic!
cool horse.
good question!

[buryinghill2]

MB Stark, you are good! The three greys were Silk and Satin, Nashville Brass and Spiff n' Polish. All three great horses. Nashville Brass was the first horse Jane had Leslie ride, along with Roman Lyre(thanks Yellowdog). Mystic Emperor was much later. And I know exactly who you talked to today, did she give you the three?
As far as going back to FCHC, have you lost your mind? E mail me!

[MBS]

No she only gave me one. I remembered Spiff n Polish (Lynnie) and Silk n Satin (Trisha) and I remember when Timmy Foster was lounging her at Ox Ridge and she got loose and cut her leg.

But my source said that your clue that the horse and owner/rider had a long career might have to be disputed because Jane never showed Nashville Brass or Roman Lyre. It was a bit confusing I guess you were referring to Owner (Jane) and Rider (Leslie) We thought you meant that the Owner/Rider (being the same) meant a horse that Jane showed.

I told her to register to this board and add her own 2 cents. I told her to register under the name Zinger.

[Ruby G. Weber]

LOL. And here is one fer ya.

What was the name of the farm Barney rode for in NJ. After you do that, name the grey open jumper, who was formerly a conformation hunter, Barney showed for them and the brown jumper.

Still thinking, Alex. You know these things take time for recepients of AARP mailings. LOL.

[Ruby G. Weber]

Who was the work boot wearing, pumpkin headed streaker at Washington that year? And who owned the horse he rode? And NO his last name does not begin with a "Z".

[buryinghill2]

Yes MB, I meant the first horse that Jane owned that Leslie rode for her.
I am impressed that you remembered Spiff n'Polish. She was such a cute little horse, and a one in a million chance the way she was found. Does anyone know what ever happened to Lynne Schulthees?

[MBS]

Wasn't Spiff n Polish found when Leslie spotted her in the Quarter Horse division at Farmington? If my memory is correct the woman that owned her first Leased her to Leslie instead of selling her. Smart woman.

Yes, The Horse & Hound is still here in South Salem.

You have a great memory MB!

[Shorty]

The grey " Streaker Horse " at Washington was owned by Leonard King ( he is President of Devon H. S. and has the picture in his office - the picture is slightly out of focus !).
Carol Thompson was showing the horse at the time and it was in her barn.
I think the rider was a guy from the jump crew ??
It certainly made the 'JOG' for that class a lot more exciting.

As I recall, Mrs. Schultess was also happy to lease at the beginning. Once the mare became famous thanks to Leslie and Lynne, they could not have afforded to buy her.

[Jody]

Doens't or Didn't Lisa Burke Horkon ride an offspring of this mare in the AO or adult hunter/ jumper divisions. If memory serves me right, she showed Spiffy for awhile too?? Not too sure.

[Lord Helpus]

New Question from the '60's:

VHV had a rider with 2 almost identical horses (full brothers), except that they were a 1/2" different in size, making one a horse and the other a pony. Name the rider and the two horses.

[MAD]

<<How can that be? McLain St, the horse, was from the '60's. McLain the child was a product of the '70's...... No?>>

Lord Helpus is correct with her dates.

And Barney and Kris always said that they named McLain after a friend named McLain. Not the street or the horse.

[equitationlane]

Lisa Joy Rosen and Foxwood. Can't think of the other.

[buryinghill2]

Mclain St. the horse may have been from the 60's, but Mclain the horse was from the eighties. He went from Barnie's barn to Leslie's, and was her world cup winning horse. What year Yellowdog?
And yes, Mrs. Schulthees was happy to lease Spiff n' Polish at the start, and she quickly became too expensive to buy. She eventually did end up with Lisa Burke.

[buryinghill1]

Yes JFC did show Brassy. I was there (and Abby was there!).

[buryinghill1]

I have seen Lynn every year at the NHS... giving out her mom's trophy with Tim Kees.

Trivia - what was mom's name???
And what did she do at horse shows?

When Ms. Stark goes back to FCHC (haha), she can ask Mr. Kees info on Lynnie.

[buryinghill1]

was really Wendy W. /infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

"...What was the name of the farm Barney rode for in NJ. After you do that, name the grey open jumper, who was formerly a conformation hunter, Barney showed for them and the brown jumper..."

I can remember the brown horse.
This is killing me!
Any hints?
/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

[Lord Helpus]

Mrs Schulthess was one of the world's nicest horse show secretarys. She started working in horse show offices to pay for Lynne's showing -- that is one great family. It really was a total combined effort, and they all pulled together.

And, I am sure, that about 5 minutes after someone else has posted her first name, it will come back tome like a bolt fromthe blue. "Elaine" keeps popping to the front of my brain....

[buryinghill1]

Not Elaine, but close!
It's tricky. Think Y... as in Yellowdog /infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif

[MBS]

I think her name was Yvonne? or something like that?

<<How can that be? McLain St, the horse, was from the '60's. McLain the child was a product of the '70's...... No?>>

And didn't someone named Johnny Bell originally ride McLain St., the horse?

[buryinghill1]

McL the human was born October 17th. What year?

What was the nickname of McL the horse (of Sagamore Farm)?

What Grand Prix (now defunct) did McL the horse win in Pennsylvania?

[Janet]

<BLOCKQUOTE class="ip-ubbcode-quote"><font size="-1">quote:</font><HR> And didn't someone named Johnny Bell originally ride McLain St., the horse? <HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
I got an email from someone after my original post, saying essentially the same thing, so you are probably right.

[MAD]

Johnny Bell lived on McLain Street (hence, then name).

The reason I know is because my parents rented his house for a year (before I was born).

[MAD]

<<McL the human was born October 17th. What year?>>

Yellowdog, is it 1975?

[buryinghill1]

correct.

[buryinghill2]

Mclain the horses nickname was Spaz. The last time I saw him he was turned out at Raymond Burrs in Ocala, with Debbie's retired hunter Supernatural. (Josh) MB should remember him well.
Mclain looked terrible, very thin, and having his "Spaz" episodes almost constantly. Dr. Mitchell drove up from Palm Beach and put him down a few days later. This was probably almost 15 years ago.
Yvonne S. was one of my favorite people. I had no idea there was a trophy in her honor at New York. After Lynn didn't have Spiff anymore, they leased Escadrille from the Nielsens for a year or so. Later I gave Yvonne a gorgeous picture of Escradille turned out with her brand new first foal. She treasured that photo, and put it on the wall over her desk in her office at Nimrod farm.

[Lord Helpus]

And who had Escadrille before Lynnie? (Think Timmy Kees connection...)

[Alex Trebek]

<BLOCKQUOTE class="ip-ubbcode-quote"><font size="-1">quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by Lord Helpus:

Oh LH, far too easy - why Tracey Weinberg of course! LOL

But here's a new one for you Nimrod groupies: what former Nimrod junior star is now showing with Sandy Ferrell in the adults?

[buryinghill2]

The Nielsens had Escadrille, but I think they got her through Timmy. I think he had her before that. She was retired and had several foals at Sunnyfield, one of them Sandy showed with limited success.
Was anyone else at Boulder Brook the morning Timmy was on Escadrille and got kicked by another horse and broke his leg? This goes way,way back!

[Michelle Mc]

Isn't Sandy's ex-Nimrod rider an A/O rider?
A/A has stumped me. /infopop/emoticons/icon_confused.gif

<<The Nielsens had Escadrille, but I think they got her through Timmy. I think he had her before that. She was retired and had several foals at Sunnyfield, one of them Sandy showed with limited success.>>

Abby, I know it wasn't a question, but would that one be "Annie"? She was so pretty and stayed at our farm for a few months and Alice helped Sandy with her.

[buryinghill2]

Yes MAD, that was one of Escadrilles babies. Escadrilles nickname was also Annie.

[MAD]

YEAH! Extra credit for anwering correctly something that wasn't a question! Redemption for previously cheating and emailing Katie.

======================================

At one point I thought we were going to get to keep Annie because she would not get on a van.

[equitationlane]

The grey jumper that he showed was Gone Flying for ABS Farms. Berry Lobel (sp) in New Jersey.

[equitationlane]

The Buschs' got Stocking from Dave Kelly as a three year old and showed him in the first years that very year. He was such a nice horse.

[Gnarly]

I am thinking of Taggart (?) and T.R. (Taggart's Replacement). But that may too recent. 1979?

[Ruby G. Weber]

Yellowdog, no I'm afraid you are confused about the gender of the Washington Halloween streaker...Yeller LOL...I'm on the floor!

Shorty, however is correct about the other details. A hint-he (gender reference for benefit of Yeller) had a horse in the class that night and that horse has been mentioned several times recently on this thread.

Rexford, good one. And the other horse? Not Taggart.

Still thinking, Alex. Must go back and read clue number one. Later.

[KLG]

His name was Andy from CA and he had looked after Stocking Stuffer

[equitationlane]

I "think" you mean Andy Cox from California. He was originaly from Rexford /infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif and moved to California. He worked for the Bushkins and was sadly killed when a tractor overturned on him,

[KLG]

thats the one Andy Cox we were stabled next to the Bushkins that year, can anyone name the guy at the ingate that was later "let go" after this incident

[buryinghill1]

"...What Grand Prix (now defunct) did McLain the horse win in Pennsylvania?..."
Valley Forge!
Remember?! 1984. Just before the Olympics. It was the same day as The Derby.
/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

[buryinghill2]

I really knew that! I forgot to post it.

[Ruby G. Weber]

Correct. On almost all counts except...Andy may have worked for the Bushkins at some point but on that famous night he was the groom of Stocking Stuffer. I'm not sure even George Gaston knew what happened.

KLG...H (Howard LaBove, also deceased) was the starter and Seaweed was manning the gate.

How outrageous was that night? Remember the Richard Nixon mask on one of the riders? And the Indian feathers?

Does anyone remember which horse won that night?

[buryinghill2]

I had completely forgotten that H. had once done the ingate....

[upperco]

Maryann Steiert rode him as her father bred him.Jimmy Lee trained him and he was sold to Jack Stedding who sold him to the Wheelers

[Lord Helpus]

RUXTON:

Where did the name come from?

[I have no idea -- I am just curious if anyone here knows what or who or where a Ruxton is.]

[Weatherford]

I do believe Ruxton was by Al Steiert's stallion Abundance (Hanovarian - the first one imported to the States??) Al was Marianne's father.

Whoops - someone already posted that... /infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif

[This message was edited by Weatherford on Sep. 30, 2001 at 05:27 PM.]

[SoEasy]

was imported and owned by Al Steiert, Marianne's father. Tony is her brother, and he did stand Abundance after Al passed away.

Al was my first riding instructor ... and was friends with my parents - he came to visit while we were living overseas, went to the Hanoverian sale, and imported Abundance as a two year old I think.

I got to ride Abundance a couple of times while a teenager ... way way cool horse. /infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

[Ruby G. Weber]

...been doing some thinking here. War Dress was a chestnut, Army Wife was brown. Now if that's who you're thinking of...otherwise, quite possibly I'm going to kick myself when you finally divulge.

[jumpsalot]

is the name of a very toney area just outside of ? ? Baltimore?-All I remember was trying to find a bathroom off of I95 & driving through Ruxton .WOW. The light bulb went off when I saw the name, seeing as he was my fav when I was a junior!

I suppose so, Alex.

Name the grey horse that a junior rider showed at CW Post in the rain carrying an open umbrella on course. Extra credit for knowing the rider.

I have never heard that story, but because it is on Long Island and it is a grey and a little bit crazy and unusual, is it a DeLeyer?

No, it was not a deLeyer.

LOL Story of my life - wrong horse, wrong class, no prize! How'd I come up with what, the answer? I just tried MAD's trick and thought of the only gray jr. horses I could recall from that time/location!

Name the highly successful bay mare, and rider, shown in the juniors in the '70's by a woman who went on to international fame in the jumpers and whose daughter is a successful pony catch rider.

[Gnarly]

My thinking cap must have a hole in it.

[Ruby G. Weber]

Michele Grubb.

[Alex Trebek]

Yes Emmet, you win this week's tupperware set! LOL Name the horse, though, and you also get the matching gin sing knife set!

[Janet]

Another two generation question.

A sucessful junior hunter rider from the late 60s has a daughter who has been very sucessful on ponies.

Her horse, while a hunter, came from jumper bloodlines.

Her trainer, who ran Shannon Stable after Barney left, was better known as a jumper trainer/rider than for the hunters.

Name the rider, her daughter, the horse, and the trainer.

[lauriep]

answer, but since I didn't know the horse's name, I didn't post! Darn!

Laurie

[Ruby G. Weber]

Who was Mr. Muskie? Or maybe it was, oh what was the chestnut's name? Who was Sundancer?

OOPS. Reread the ? You want the hunter. Well, I think that would be Amabette. Only trouble is Amabette was a gelding. Can't think of a mare right now.

[buryinghill1]

That was my pick!

Glitter Glitter?

What was the name of the horse James Hulick won the Finals on, who was the previous owner and, for bonus points, what was the sire of that horse?

[Ruby G. Weber]

J. Hulick won on Tiny's Thought? It was a chestnut with a white blaze. Does Simoneta Bulgarelli (sp) fit in this equation? Breeding: haven't got a clue.

[equitationlane]

Go to the head of the class! Very good. I do believe it was her brother James that rode Tiny's Thoughts who was by the stallion Twenty Five that stood in the mid west (I think).

[Bumpkin]

What was Michelle Grubb's horse Sundancer's real registered name?

What was the name of the trainer who originally found him at the track?

Who sold him to Michelle Grubb?
And who do they work for now? As...?

[buryinghill1]

Oh my gawd. I have not thought of that horse for er a long time. I think Johnson was prez! /infopop/emoticons/icon_eek.gif
Fabulous horse!
Michelle McEvoy... Sundancer.. I'll bet the horse was found by Carl Knee. A guess.

[buryinghill2]

James won the Grand Prix at Ox Ridge the first year I ever watched it. But at that time most people were much more interested in the hunter classic that was on the same day. Who did he win it on?

[Bumpkin]

James Hulick won quite a bit on him. /infopop/emoticons/icon_confused.gif

Sorry Yellowdog, the answer is not Carl Knee /infopop/emoticons/icon_frown.gif

I am new to this, does one keep the questions up until someone answers them???

[Ruby G. Weber]

Side Bet was a Hulick horse of that era but, Abby, I believe you have me stumped. Also stumped by Bumpkins ? about Sundancer's alias.

Wasn't Happy Landing the brown, cute moving hunter?

[buryinghill2]

Emmett-
You will know the horse and remember him well the minute I tell you..

[Ruby G. Weber]

OK Abby. The horse was a big, brown gelding by Setubal. It's coming back. Still can't come up with it's name.

General C was a hunter.

How many of SHOWDOWN's riders can you name ?

Which famous Show Jumper raced with the name Jon Lyle ?

Name the family - Two well-known jumpers and one famous hunter all share the same dam ( making them half brothers/sister ).. Hint two won AHSA Horse of the Year Honors.

What was Terry Rudd's trade mark and who was her famous pony?

[Gnarly]

I knew Shorty would should up!

Terry's trademark. well, all I can think of is black undies (or none) under white breeches. /infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

[LaurieB]

I ought to know this.

The great pony was Hot Shot Kid.

And I know, for a while, all her mounts had "Kid" in their names. Is that it? (Of course that doesn't explain her Junior Hunter, Brenton Reef /infopop/emoticons/icon_rolleyes.gif )

[Shorty]

Terry Rudd's own trademark...
Clue - It disapeared about the time she stopped riding ponies.

[Lord Helpus]

Wow, I am surprised that the Terry Rudd trademark was not answered in the first 5 minutes: Her famous pony tail that hung down her back.

[LaurieB]

Now if we're talking hair, Terry didn't have one long blonde pony tail, she had two! (See picture below) For a while, so did all the rest of us kids in the barn and we all looked a mess. /infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

[Shorty]

No points awarded for this one - It was Terry's TWO (braided) pigtails that she always wore as a kid... I LOVED the picture...
Who can remember the name of the RINGMASTER in the picture?

[wtywmn4]

OMG****** How many of you can relate to those breeches and coat? Well when she was younger and on the ponies, not only did she have a braids, they were french braided......

Shorty, that looks like the old lower ring at Radnor.......???? And lordy he is so familar! Name name???? Was it Mr. Buchanan, Huntsman extradinaire?

Okay Bumpkin, was it Carl Knee who found the horse for Michele? Can not for the life of me remember his registered name tho....

[This message was edited by wtywmn4 on Oct. 06, 2001 at 09:16 PM.]

He was originally shown in the Pacific NW at the same time I was competing up there. He was shown in the Preliminary jumper division under the name Bill Pinch, and ridden by Gary Henley.

However, I can't answer the rest of your questions about him, bumpkin.... /infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

Laurieb, that picture of Terry Rudd is just classic, what with the ponytail/pigtails and those great flared breeches!! /infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

[Shorty]

The Terry Rudd picture does look like the old Radnor Hunt Pony Club Ring.
The Ring Master pictures was NOT Mr. Buchannan ( Debbie, Winkie & Betsy's father).
Keep trying !
