The Leeway Pony Rides
An activity of much interest and importance to the horse-minded youngsters of Rappahannock and adjoining Counties occurred at the Leeway Farm on Saturday, August 22. The Leeway Pony Rides got under way, with a good turn-out of yOung riders and riding-hopefuls in attendance. Some seventy-odd persons, about half of them youngsters all set to ride, gathered at the riding enclosure to hear the preliminaries of an interesting riding program, and to take a pony ride, as well.
At the invitation of a member of the Sponsoring Committee of the Rappahannock Hunt, headed by Mr. and Mrs. Leon T. Greeaway, I was called upon to give some basic riding advice to this happy group of young, enthusiastic riding prospects. What a privilege it was to me, an old-timer of the saddle, to encourage these young riders in their endeavor to learn all that goes with good riding, the little skills in horse-handling that make up good horsemanship and produce good riders; the responsive eagerness to learn those things that cause a pony or horse to do what the rider wants done (elementary horsemastership) ; and the desire to compete on a friendly basis with other riders of equivalent training (Sportsmanship).
