PEACOCK HILL NATIONAL HORSE SHOW
Walking Horse enthusiasts from all sections of sou­
thern California converged on the Peacock Hill Riding
Club in Tustin for the Sixth Annual Peacock Hill Na­
tional Horse Show May 31 and June 1, 1969.
Hospitality and good old fun were the keynotes for
this year’s show, which always pleases exhibitors and
spectators alike. Even armchair horsemen were able
to enjoy the classes, as live coverage of Sunday’s
show was provided by KCET television, I,os Angeles.
"The Best Small Show in America,” according to
Horses magazine, Peacock Hill benefits the Orange
County Guild for the John Tracy Clinic. The ladies of
the guild decorated the grounds with flowers, ran the
concessions, sold tickets, and took over many jobs,
all necessary to a successful show.
Although the ring at Peacock Hill is rather small for
Walking Horses, it certainly didn’t keep anyone at
home. The three Walking Horse classes were well-
filled, especially the open class, which featured the
added inducement of the Mr. and Mrs. Monroe B. Lu-
kather Challenge Trophy.
Chidley Dunlap of Lexington, Kentucky tied the
Saddlebred and Walking Horse classes. His choices
in the Walking Horse classes were as follows:
TWHEA WALKING HORSE SEAT MEDAL CLASS:
(1) Jeannine Jorgensen, Ontario; (2) Valerie Jorgen­
sen, Ontario; (3) Lisa Gregg, Ontario; (4) Kathy Ev­
ans, Pomona.
