Riding Gains Sporilighi
Among Varied Groups
By JOAN CAMPBELL
One form of recreation that
nas taken the limelight with the
establishment of the local mill
tarv installations is that of
horseback riding. Although this
sport has always Deen a lavorue
with residents in the Klamath
basin, there has been a definite
increase in popularity within
the past year, due to the pres
ence of army, navy and marine
personnel in this area.
The rolling hills that surround
the city, as well as the flat
atretches of prairie land, dotted
with clumps of sagebrush, af
ford a most picturesque back
ground enough encouragement
for the interested equestrian.
Especial advantages are found
in the fact that the "wide open
spaces" are available within a
atone's throw of the city limits,
thereby licking that ever-harassing
problem of gasoline ra
tioning. Riding cowboy style in a
rugged western saddle still re
tains its place as an almost
unanimous favorite among the
members of the "horsey" set,
although some attention is be
ing focused upon the flawless
thoroughbred that is occasional
ly seen sporting an all-out re
galia of English equipment. The
evident preference for the regu
lation stock saddle has probably
come about as a hangover of
the early western days, when
distance was of prime impor
tance. Old-time cattlemen swear
by this type of saddle (with a
sturdy "cayouse" underneath)
for the epitome of riding per
fection both for comfort and
practicability.
Stable Problem
Not only servicemen, but
managers of riding academies
and stables as well are being
faced with an acute housing
problem, for since the gas short
age has become a major issue,
many of the horses that were
formerly pastured in the coun
try are now being boarded near
er town for the convenience of
their citified owners. With the
' debut of a sudden interest in
riding, stables are filled to over
flowing with steeds that have
been recently purchased by en
thusiastic youngsters and old
sters. Due to the increasing amount
of interest in riding that has
been stimulated among the serv
icemen and their families, the
various riding establishments
in this part of the country are
doing a land-office business.
However, they constantly find
themselves faced with the situ
ation of rating themselves more
customers than they can handle
weekends especially witness
a definite boom, with even the
tiniest of tots turning out to
enjoy the pastime atop a Shet
land pony.
Riding enthusiasts find par
ticular enjoyment in the camp
fire trips -and breakfast rides
that are planned by various
groups in the county. The first
campfire ride, of the season,
sponsored by the Sunset Riding
stables, was given on Tuesday
of last week, with 72 men and
women, many of them in the
service, on hand for the festivi
ties. .The seven-mile cross-country
trot was complete with
music, furnished by three mem
bers of the marine band, and a
hearty meal served on a hill
overlooking the city. These eve
ning jaunts are to be weekly
occurrences, weather permitting
and in the event that trans
portation via "hoss" draws oppo
sition, a gay red and white hay
rack is provided as a means of
encouragement.
Horse Display
Perhaps the most spectacular
display, in which horses are the
feature attraction, occurs on the
Fourth of July holidays, when
thousands of people from near
and far congregate for the an
nual rodeo. This exposition,
which might almost be termed
a tradition, is known as the
Klamath Buckaroo Days, and is
keenly anticipated by all those
who not only ride, but love

hnrsps. Evidence of that fact
lies in the capacity crowds that
throne yearly to tne Dig
show," which rivals the most
colorful panorama of a western
thriller.
Two riding groups that have
earned a Great deal of recogni
tion and credit during the past
few vears are the Klamath Sad

The Klamath Saddle club is

members, who are easily dis

habits. Besides appearing in lo

and the ever popular barn

so been granted permission to
organize a clubhouse at the
county fairgrounds, and along
with its other activities, is do

war effort.

and are often called out in case

The bit and spur are not idle
this season, the curry comb and
brush are being put to good use
with the advent of warm spring
weather, and the "wide open
spaces" are beckoning in a
come-hither manner to anyone
who can sit a saddle.
