Sport History: Fun Facts from the USHJA Wheeler Museum
|
|
In the 1950s, the National Horse Show at Madison Square Garden featured a class called “The Pen” that was open to both hunters and jumpers. It had a qualifying round and a final round.
Imagine an extreme handy hunter class: it was "judged for manners, performance and promptness but not necessarily for the fastest time.” The pen measured 32’ x 48’ and was built of 4’0” post-and-rail sections with one 3’6” white gate section. The course required jumping the pen six times from different directions: an S-turn through the pen from post-and-rail to the gate, a straight line across the pen, and a roll back within the pen. The course also included two jumps outside the pen: a 3’9” coop and a 4’0” jump with the instructions “Take off top bar and jump.”
Horse shows around the country built pens to emulate the Garden, but they were usually set on outside courses and made wider and longer.
