Wilson, Director Chairman, Organization and Building Committee. The Joys and Benefits of Horseback Riding By Herbert J. Krum Editor: The Show Horse Chronicle, Lexington, Ky. HORSEBACK exercise is enjoying an unprecedented popularity at the present time in all parts of this countiy. It is not an over-statement to say that never before have so many people been drawn to this par- ticular form of outdoor sport as is true just now. All of our great cities bear testimony to this fact, and in count- less thousands of relatively small cities and towns there are numerous addicts to equestrianism in striking com- parison with what was true only a few years ago. This statement seems to carry an inherent and necessary con- tradiction in turn, and to reconcile these seeming incon- sistencies may afford a very engaging form of mental specidation. Perhaps at no previous period in the history of this country have really good saddle horses been as scarce, as hard to find and acquire, or as costly to purchase when found, as is true now. It is well realized by all who are conversant with the suljject that saddle horse breeding operations have reached within the past two or three years the lowest ebb in their history. In Kentucky, Missouri, Tennessee and the other South- ern states, from whence in the past time have come the greatest numbers of the saddle horses distributed in all parts of the land, production of fine saddle horses has reached an almost negligible stage. It formerly was true that any person desiring to purchase a fine saddle horse could go, or could send, to any one of hundreds of breeders 10.
