horses in the Ninth Annual
Hunter and Jumper Horse
Show, held in Houston last
Saturday and Sunday, to haul
home all of the honors won by
two local youngsters. The trium-
phant pair was Joan and Billy
Cappieman. Out of the large
number of Baytown spectators
who were present for the event,
none was more proud of the
showing made by these two than
Dr. W. P. Cappieman and his
wife, Palsy. One other young
Baytown rider who drew high
praise from the Cappieman s
and judges al the show was Gary
Cash, son of Celanese Superin-
tendent Burt Cash and his wife,
Mary. Although Gary gave an
admirable performance in skill-
fully handling his horse, he
failed to win a ribbon. All three
youngsters are students of Mrs.
Cappieman’s Sam Houston Hunt
Club.
The honors piled up three
deep when these young Baytown
riders were first invited to par-
ticipate in the Houston show.
After less than six months of
jumping in this “academy” style
of riding taught by Mrs. Capple-
man, they had been selected to
compete with such performers as
veterans in the popular Pin Oak
Show. From there the ribbon
and trophy collecting began.
Ten-year-old Joan Cap pieman
was lop performer for Baytown.
Her first win, which started a
rainbow roundup of ribbons, is
vividly described for BRIEFS
readers by Myrleel Bozarth,
Storehouse, who is a well-known
writer and was an avid spectator
at the show. “Saturday after-
noon,” says Myrleel, “the novice

Only the location of the West

the diamonds announced in lasl

League tryouts will be held on
Commissary Diamond No. 2 in-
stead of the W ooster Ball Park.

Phase two of preparations for
the opening of the Baytown Lillie
League season begins tomorrow
at 1 p.m. with tryouts for 11 and
12 year old boys.
Lester Alford, public relations
director of Baytown Little
League, reports that more than
400 boys ten years of age and
under reported for their tryouts
last Saturday. This is another
nouncement that caused Baytown
spectators to visibly tense. ‘Num-
ber twelve! El Dorado, ridden
by Joan Cap pieman of the Sam
Houston Hunt Club.’ Out of the
paddock raced a big horse lopped
by a tiny, leaning figure. The
rider was ten-year-old Joan Cap-
pleman. Across a grassy field
and over the first hurdle, horse
and rider seemed to flow as one,

THEY GAVE THEIR TIME
This large group of men turned out week before last to help
Highlands little leaguers have a lighted field for night games during
the coming season. They knocked off last Saturday so tryouts could
be held on the diamond, but work will continue tomorrow, beginning
at 7:30 a.m., weather permitting. Since the poles were sel lasl lime,
wiring them will be the main order of business tomorrow. For this
reason all electricians that have hooks and will travel are invited to
join the work. Other type of help is also needed if this community
project is to be completed before the opening day of little league
competition in Highlands.

so rhythmically were their mov-
ing bodies. They look two more
hurdles, and then headed for a
higher one, next in line. Five
horses had already refused that
particular hurdle, and one un-
nerved rider had dismounted
and walked back from there. But
with the confidence of a champ,
Joan Cappieman sailed her horse
over the last jump, sprinted
down the stretch to the paddock
where she later picked up a
yellow ribbon for her first win-
ning place in the show. Later
she added the blue ribbon and
silver cup for a first in the
Reserve Champion Ribbon.
Between the performances
put on by Joan, her teen-age
brother, 13-year-old Billy, was
collecting more ribbons to hang
in the Cappieman trophy room.
Out of four events entered, he
had placed in three of them, and
was awarded one red and two
pink ribbons.
When asked what they thought
about winning so many places
in horsemanship competition of
this sort, the two young Cap pie-
man’s replied in unision, “Well,
we had a good teacher!” But
their mother, the practical-
minded Palsy, had another ex-
planation of ils importance.
“The really important aspect of
a child’s learning to jump his
horse,” she said, “is safely that
comes with the ease of handling
the animal.”
