to com Maryland, New Jersey, and Virginia. Also, during the year of 1977, the team of Sheika and Leslie managed to win 53 first place and championship ribbons. And in 1978, the mare has already been named the Region 16 Champion Half-Arabian Park Horse. Region 16 covers the area of New York and the New England states. Leslie related that the park class in< a horse show is judged on the brilliance of the performance of the horse, at a walk, trot, and canter. Also taken into consideration is the quality of the horse, the con firmation, the manners, and the suitability of the horse to the rider. “There aren't too many really good park horses," Leslie stated. “They must have natural ability and coordination.” At the national horse show, there will be three judges choosing the top horses among the 50 to 70 animals that are expected to be entered. To even place, Leslie explained, a person must be marked on two out of three of the judges’ cards. Then an elimination* is held to pick the champion and reserve champion park horse. And how does Leslie think she will do? “Optimistically, we’re hoping for a placing in the top ten,” she smiled. FORE ■ ■■ ■ is. R MORE ts. ir*C. O.A.

But I know we’ll do our best.” Besides, Sheika, at home she and her sister Lynn, 13, work with four other horses. Leslie claims that a lot of her skill with the horses comes from her riding in structors, who helped her get to where She is today. “Without the help of such people as Natalie Immel Kline, Mrs. Richard Dady, and Mrs. Barbara Lauger, I never would have been able to leant everything that I needed to know.” Thinking about the future, Leslie commented, “Horses are ray life at the moment. I plan to go to college and study animal husbandry, and I want horses to always be a major part of my life. Somehow, I’m going to find a . job that deals with horses.” KEMPTON - Lynnport Fire Company won the recent water hose com petition which was held at the Kempton Country Fair.
