Large Crowd Attends Point-To-Point Despite Chilling Winds
By Ann* Hudson Goedeclte
Chilly weather nipped the 1000 onlookers at the second annual Rappahannock Point-To-Point held Saturday. March 8, on Leon Greenaway’s beautiful “Leeway Farm.” The sun shone throughout the afternoon but a cold wind kept collars tight and a keen edge on many of the race horses. Nevertheless, before the first race was called, horse enthusiasts from all over Virginia had gathered to participate in one of the most exciting of all horse sports, a Point-To-Point.
Leon Greenaway’s state is a nearperfect locale from both the spectators’ and the exhibitors’ points of view, fit high hill in the center.of the course affords excellent viewing of a majority of the the jumps, while a refreshment stand with coffee and sandwichs keeps the Shenandoah wind from driving too deep.
The course is stiff; is contains natural-looking jumps built into fences and several found that the planks don’t come down.
Six events made up the racing card and by far the most thrilling was the Mount Salem, the leadies’ race. Mrs. Fadley booted her Head Agent across the finish line barely in front of Angie Sanders on Mrs. A. D. Kinsley’s Redmond. Show place went to Amy Hitchcock on Sidney Culver’s Reynolds Town. Mrs. Fadley had an uncomfortable fall right after her race but arose unhurt.
