High Society at New York This was High's big opportunity and she knew it. She had to do it. This was her chance! These thoughts ran through High Societyfs mind as she stood proudly in her stall. In a few hours were the stake classes. Now, she had one chance left, and only oneg to win the three-gaited stake class and become the champion three-gaited horse of the year. Beside her in the next Stall stood her rival, Sweater Girl. Would High Society beat Sweater Girl? High heard the familiar voices of her groom and her rider as the two nervous and excited horsemen walked to her stall. She knew her grooming was about to begin. Off came her sheet and cooler, and then her jowl sweater. Her tail set was left on for the time being. She was brushed and brushed again. She was buffed with a towel and some hay. Next her teeth were wiped and the blackening on her two hoofs shined. Finally High's tail set was removed and her tail throughly brushed and combed. The all-important brilliantine was applied to her hocks and the other spots which would glisten under the floodlights. About a half hour later she was all Wtacked upn and ready to go. The famil- iar cry from the loud speaker blatedz NAll horses entering the three-gaited class at the gate, please.n The trainer threw Barbara, the girl who was to ride Society, into the saddle and led horse and rider to the gate. They would try to enter the ring first, since the first and last horse entering usually attracts the judges attention. nLet 'em in,n cried the loud speaker. The trainer grabbed Society's bridle and ran her into the ring. As he let go, he gave Society a quick pat of en- Oouragement. Rider and horse flew around the ring at a quick trot and then crossed in front of the judges stand. nAll horses walkn was the next command. Every glimmer- ing piece of horseflesh was pulled to a quick walk, the judges eyed each beauty carefully, watching for the most minute mistake. HAll trotan This was the most important command to High Society and Barbara. Now they must excelg this was the only chance. This trot had to be superb. Society's conformation was a little lacking, and the trot had to make up for it. A good trot is a necessity to a saddle horse. Around the ring they shot. Her tail, was it straight? This was take and pass practiced the of speed sent it. High was coming up behind Sweater Girl but she must over- her opponent. Barbara urged High on. So many times they had every move for this High Society flying pace? Perfected action and style from Society after that. She was stripln moment. words of encouragement and a burst pastSweater Girl. Could Society keep this did it! The judges never took their eyes pegged on top even after the cry of 'All That lucky and wonderful number! Ten minutes later I heard it. NNumber 13 is the winner,H blatted out across the hushed and impatient audience. There was great applause as the steaming, foaming chestnut broke from her faultless spread and trotted up to the winners circle to receive the blue ribbon and the 310,000 cash award.
