1965-Voice Of The Tennessee Walking Horse 1965 September Voice | Page 25

Jan Wright officially retired the Mary Ellen
and Elizabeth Hampton Challenge Trophy in
this class as she swept the blue ribbon for
the third straight time. Jan is unmatched in
riding ability and it is a fine tribute to this
dedicated young girl that she is the youngest
rider in modern times to retire this trophy.
Second place in this class went to Cristie
Bennett, while third spot was awarded to Diane
Corley. The equitation class has grown rapidly
in recent years and this year it attracted 32
skilled entries.

OWNER-AMATEUR LADY RIDERS ON WALKING MARES, ANY AGE
Mrs. C. M. Waters, Jr. and Spur's Summer
Dream were the cream of the crop in this
class as they outperformed their 25 competi­
tors to take the blue ribbon. Mrs. Waters
kept her horse in good form, stayed on the
rail and showed her horse. Sue's Midnight
Doll with Susie Beasley in the saddle perform­
ed well and tied second with a hard-working
effort. The crowd favorite, Lady Godiva, turned
in her usual fine performance and grabbed
the third place honors for Mrs. Frank Parnell.
This class was not as filled as some of the
others but nonetheless was well stocked with
fine horses and talented riders.

JUVENILES RIDING WALKING MARES OR GELDINGS
This new juvenile class, riders 11-13 in­
clusive, was won by Brenda Bramlett up on
Merry Melinda. Brenda guided her horse to
the top spot with a fine effort in all three
gaits. Young Judy Tillett, making her first
Celebration ride, swept the second place rib­
bon on The Untouchable. Dark Shadow con­
tinued his winning ways as he carried Jan
Wright to the yellow ribbon. Dark Shadow
had previously taken Jan to the equitation
title and captured three blue ribbons in last
year's show. Though this class is a newcomer
to the Celebration it was well liked by the
crowd and the 35 entries illustrate its quick
popularity with exhibitors.
