Whisperin’ Oaks
A tale told by a shirt tail—Oh
to be in close contact with the under
world (?) again.
Foi a thrilling thirst quencher
try coffee ivith tea bags in it such
as a table in the dining room re
cently discovered.
Mr. Broughton attributes the ease
with which ivomen of the recent past
sang high notes to their firm vocal
foundations.
It’s humanly as well as politically
impossible for roommates not to
have their differences sometimes.
Just ask Carolyn Seyffert, President
of the YRC and Judy Rice, Presi
dent of the YDC.
❖ iU i'.i
A wild elephant stampede' would
apjiear mere childs’ jilay compared
to that of some two hundred girls
who charge ruthlessly from the
assemblies in the study hall to line
up for chapel and programs.
This “deyntee hors” from St.
Alary s stable is kicking up quite a
fuss about being bridled. He seems
to be somewhat head shy, but the
five equestriennes pictured above
have handled many other problem
horses. They’ll jorobably manage
very well. If they have any trouble
this time, they can call on two other
fine riders, Gail Farthing and Tonya
Gramble.
Alost of these girls are in favor
of_ calling this beautiful steed a
gaited saddle horse. Speaking of
saddle horses. Parading Sweetheart,
Carol Diggers’ five gaited pride and
joy, IS really something to see Her
roommate. Alary Spainhonr, is an
other saddle horse enthusiast who
also specializes in fine harness
horses. It looks mighty good to
see Mary sitting in one of those
classy, little, fine harness carts be
hind a high-stepping horse like Cap
tain Danger, the fiery bay gelding
she got last year.
_ Still a third member of this croivd
IS Pat_ Satterfield. Pat, like the
other girls, shows both three and five
gaited horses, but her favorite is a
wmlk-trot horse called Captain’s
Caprice.
Another gal who loves one of those
peaeoeky walk-trot horses is Gail
I arthing who rode her Alighty Atom
for the first time in the Aladisoii
Square Garden Show.
Gina Richardson is also one of the
saddle horse folk when she’s show
ing However, Gina, a horse-w'omaii
at heart, just loves all kinds -of
horses. Despite the many horses
she has shown in and around the
horsey state of Kentucky, Gina says
her favorite mount is a goiiiiine
^utheriier, a walking horse named
Peggy.
Among the girls whose interests
center around other types of horses
M ionya Gamble who, while in
Florida rode Starless Hight, a dress-
,age horse; she is now all in favor of
dressage, the most beautiful riding
piyoiie can do. Alaybe we’ll be see
ing Tonya iii^ the Olympics some
day. Tile United States lias never
had a dressage rider who could com-
jiare with the Europeans from the
Yeiietian and French academies.
_ Although this part of the nation
is famous for hunters and jumpers,
the local riders are largely saddle
hoi se folks. Another g’lrl from out-
of-state, Haney Smith, rides hunters
beautifully. Smitty learned to ride
in Connecticut where she became an
officer in the junior cavalry of a
Alargaret
feelt Smitty also rode in “the
Garden.” Smitty entered on her
little hunter man. Cricket.
All of tliese girls have put count-
iess liours of practice into perfecting
what IS both a sport and an art.
oliowing horses combines the ac-
tivity and excitement of sport with
the delicate skills and precise timing
of art. _ In addition one meets more
interesting and, well yes, sometimes
most peculiar people at horse shows.
Iry running a cross country race
while painting a masterpiece in oils
and you’ll know what these girls are
up against when they show.
