Be on time ot the Fair
offered in horse show trcleIafch
Two new riding classes are
being offered at' this year's
Saddle Horse Show at the
Morrow County Fair.
The horse show, slated for 9
a.m. Friday, is organized by
the Wrangler's Riding Club
and directed by Superinten
dent Dick Sherer.
The two new ctasses, Eng
lish Equitation and Working
Horse Hack classes, are des
perately needed, according to
Nancy Sweek, an area inst
ructor in the two classes.
"Ileppner, as far as English
equitation riding Is concerned,
is behind the times," Ms.
Sweek, said, adding "if they
don't show, they won't be any
good."
Ms. Sweek said that at the
4-H horse show, every cham
pion and every reserve cham
pion was an English rider. She
said most have a lot to learn
but that there are "some
pretty good little riders in this
county."
"I'd like to see some kids
start showing in open shows,"
she said. "I don't know if they
want to show and learn or just
show 4-H and fair shows and
forget It. The only way they
can get good is to show."
Ten growers
promise spuds
At least ten commercial
growers will enter potato
exhibits this year, for the first
time, at the Morrow County
Fair.
According to D.O. Nelson,
superintendent of the new
category, the reason "we
haven't had it before is
because we haven't had any
potatoes here."
Norgold russetts, the early
potatoes, will probably be the
abundant type, Nelson said,
because Netted Gem Russetts
have not been harvested yet.
Nelson said he was sure the
growers would make every
effort to come up with some
netted gems even if "they dig
'em by hand."
Among the exhibitors will be
Potato exhibit 10 a.m. Wed.
Nelson said that when he
fanned wheat and potatoes
near the bombing range, there
wasn't over ISOO acres of
spuds in the county. Now, he
says, there are probably 12,000
seres.
All the growers contacted by
Nelson art from the north end
of the county. Ten growers
"promised" potatoes.
To be eligible, the commer
cial growers must produce at
least three acres of spuds. The
fair exhibit will be 80 pounds
of potatoes.
large operations such as Sabre
Farms, Eastern Oregon
Farms, Oregon Potato Incor
porated and others. Some
smaller, yet still Quality pro
ducers like John Prag Three
Mile Farms and Merle Carl
son will also enter spuds.
. Premiums for the new
group will be 17.50 for the first,
$3 for the second and 13 for
third. The exhibits will be In
the main fair pavilion. The
judging will take place at 10
a.m. on Wednesday, August
as. ' , "., ,
Entries close for the show at
8 p.m. Monday, August 23. To
be eligible to enter all horses,
an exhibitor must be a
Morrow County resident. All
horses must be the bona fide
property of the exhibitor.
Animals must have been
owned and kept in Morrow
County at least 30 days prior to
time of entry.
There will be two rings,
another change, in halter and
performance class, riding si
multaneously. Exhibitors
must have adequate help
should they run into entries
that conflict.
The two new classes should
highlight a full day of horse
show. Working hunter hack is
an English pleasure class. The
rider and horse walk, trot,
canter and hand gallop. They
also go over two small jumps.
English equitation is dif
ferent. The horse and rider
enter with a posting trot, not a
walk like in Western equita
tion. A judge will work the horse
and rider both ways in walk,
trot and canter and then may
ask to see figure eight work.
Decked out in boots, brit
ches, jacket and cap, the
riders will add a bit more
aesthetic appeal to onlookers.
There are many classes
offered. Among them are con
formation and halter; perfor
mance; junior western equi
tation; western pleasure; trail
class; reining class; pony
class; another reining class;
English equitation; working
cow horse event; working
hunter hack; performance
horse clover leaf barrel race;
champion performance horse
and junior calf roping.
