Miniature Show
With the Nelson A. and P. Association Show just a few weeks away, the Wakatu branch of the Nelson Pony Club gave riders an opportunity of competing under show conditions at a miniature show held at the airport. Horses and riders from many parts of the district and Marlborough competed.
Judge Colin Meyer (Murchison) looks over riders and horses entered in the best rider, hack division.
Brother and sister combination, Bill and "Chick" Reid, did well. Bill, on Winter Flight, was best rider over 18, and "Chick", on Aussie Rambler, rode the champion hack.
