that were unique. In one class, a rider jumped the rail as another climbed in the saddle to continue the class. It appears that the " firststring " rider was late getting to the showgrounds, and his assistant went on in the class. When he arrived, they waited for an opportune moment and swapped riders without detection by management. Another interesting event was the late appearance of two horses entered in the aged stallion preliminary. The class of 29 horses was on the reverse when two exhibitors were finally admitted. They had been " locked out” when the big outside doors were closed to ward off the cold. By the time word reached the center of the ring, the class was half-way through the first workout. The decision of the management was that it was not the fault of the exhibitors that they were late, so they were permitted to work separately and qualify for the workout. One of the horses, ACE’ S SENSATION, won the class.
There were several added attractions at the 1969 show, including the heralded " Chaplain of Bourbon Street,” Rev. Bob Harrington. He appeared nightly and made a brief talk that captured the attention of the horse show crowd.
Montgomery is traditionally the finale of the show season and this year ' s show ended the season on a strong note. The loyal support of Alabama horsemen combined with the influx of top horses from all across the Southeast made the 1969 Southern Championship a true championship horse show.
