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.

“But then I guess everybody
thinks they’re horse is good.
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.”

Winners named
This Summer Leslie is
working at the Esshibin
Equestrian Center owned by
Ricci Desiderio, in Chester,
N.J. There she is working
horses and at the same time,
tightening up on her own
horsemanship skills.
She has been a member of
4-H for four years and has
travelled and competed in
the state competition, both in
the English pleasure class
and the Saddle seat
equitation. She thinks that
the pleasure or the park
class would be her favorite
to compete in.
And later this month,
Leslie and Sheika will have
their chance to compete in
the park class at a national
level for the first time. And
Leslie will do her best to see
that she and Sheika do their
best as they compete against
the competition nationwide.
