Horae Show March 22. and ' the
horse lovers and followera of show
horses in the Dominion are won
dering how the enthhalaatic rider-
owner will fare in hla debut of
the. 1947 season.
Returning to the saddle after 18
years' Of inactivity after a boyhood
of riding, and several years of
hunting. Vernon G. Cardy found
that with, hunting in the Montreal
area suspended the only opportuni
ty for comparison of training lay
in shows. So he entered shows and
for more than a season was round
ly trounced on all appearances., Hs
found it not eksy to mount a man
of 198 pounds, riding at perhaps
215. and as he did all of his own
riding ribbons were few and far
between.
However, by the fEll ot 1945
‘‘Squire’’ Cardy had the nucleus'of
a show sUble, the majority thw-
oughbreds, something rarely heard
of In the rugged Canadian terrain
where raw boned half bred horses
are generally preferred. Selecting
two young amateur riders he com
menced training them and for the
first tlme liiccess began to attend
the Cardy colours. Early In the
spring of 1948 the Mount Vernon
Ranch horses were at Camden for
the "education of both horse apd
rider," Here he won two blues and
came away tremendously satlafled
that he had learned a lot.
The record of the 1948 season
speaks for Itself., Actually bad
luck dogged the stable. At one

ly after the ceremony at the Jones
residence on North Broad street.
The home wak decorated through
out with many exquisite arrange

Square Garden, the knockdown and
out, first and aecond^ the five foot
class, and reserve in the Jumper
aggregate, second in the Hunt
team, to name only a few of tbs
wins.
“We attended 20 shows last sea
son, but. I found the National In
New York, and the Camden Show
the'most thrilling and the best re
membered,’’ commented Mr. Cardy.
The gracious hospitality of Mr.
Kirkover, the DuBose, Mrs. Walter
and all of the others who keep
Camden as a trial for amatenr
riders than a contest between skill
ed professionals rettiained In my
mind, as did the lovely setting, the
amazing family class event, the
whole delight^l atmosphere t6 be
duplicated nowhere In Ameridt to
my knowledge. And when it cornea
to horses the residents of South
Carolina are outatanding Judges.”
It is likely that Mr. Cardy will
ride three of his heavyweight hunh
ers including Red Ransome, Bet
ter Still and Soon Over. Miss Edith
Ferguson Will likely ride Fort
Riley, and the Canadian hunter
champion Jervis Bay, while her
twin sister, Telen, will be np on
Cardolina and Ooldenwood. The
horses combine to make two hunt
teams, the same entries to carry
off second In the Hunt team event
at the National Horse Show, New
York, and the Royal Winter Fklr
in Toronto.
Stabled at Southern" Pines this
year, practically all of Mr. Cardy’s
horses havq been out a dozen
times with the Moore County
Hounds and are all veterans of the
hunt Meld.
