Time And Effort Required, But
Strosniders Find Horses Good Hobby
By - Ron Paris
After a hard day of selling
cars, there’s nothing like a
good horse.
Archie Strosnider, manager of
Goodwill Motors, spends his
working hours selling cars but
most of his time off is spent
at his homo in lower Transyl
vania working with his horse,
Dixie.
Mr. and Mrs. Strosnider
bought Dixie, an American
Saddle • bred 5 gaited horse,
from Rock Branch Farm, An
derson, S. C„ last November.
Before the Strosniders bought
her, Dixie had been a show
horse. She had collected many
ribbons and trophies in shows
all over South Carolina, in
chiding one trophy that was
presented in Aiken by Mrs.
Dwight D. Eisenhower.
Dixie has not been shown
since coming to the Strosniders.
They bought her mainly for
pleasure, rather than show.
Taking care of a horse is a
daily affair. Since Mr. Strosni
der works, the job falls mainly
to Mrs. Strosnider. Dixie must
be brushed, combed and have
her hooves dressed every day.
She has special pads between
the hooves and her shoes to
prevent injury to them. She
even gets her daily dose of
vitamins to keep her healthy.
Mr. Strosnider was born in the
west and did much riding there,
but it was mainly on quarter
horses in a western roping sad
dle. Dixie takes a jtpedal Eng
lish saddle, which is cut away at
the shoulder to prevent rubbing.
The saddle costs $250. A spe
cial tail, made of real horse hair,
which is used for show costs
another $75.
Mrs. Strosnider works Dixie
daily, often taking her out and
riding over the whole valley or
up to Cascade Lake.
“A horse must be worked daily
in order to keep up its stamina”,
said Mr. Strosnider. “Otherwise
it will get soft”.
The Strosniders have plans
to clear away a large portion
of their cornfield and build a
riding ring. When this is done
they hope to form a riding
club.
Mr. Strosnider acted as vice
president of a riding club when
they lived in Florida. The club
sponsored horse shows, barrel
races, group trail rides and other
activities of that type.
Dixie likes nothing better
than to playfully kiss Mrs.
Strosnider. When turned loose
in the pasture, Dixie heads
straight back to her stall and
as soon as she gets into it she
turns around and comes back
out.
Besides Dixie the Strosniders
have one other pet, a Scottish
Terrier named Pixie, who is jeal
ous of everyone, including Dixie
and Mr. Strosnider, hates cap
pistols and goes wild at the
sound of the word “garbage
man”.
Just one big happy family.
