Photograph used for a story in the Oklahoma City Times newspaper. Caption: "The Only Things that were high-talled about Tuesday's opening night of the annual Oklahoma City Charity Horse Show were the animal entrants. They were very high-tailed. Other than the horses, the show was a simple demonstration of some very good reasons why man might try getting a horse. Never having seen a horse show, we doubted the pleasure of watching the event. We even looked it up in Webster to be sure about what to expect. ("Horse Show - A competitive exhibition of horses and vehicles, especially as an annual fashionable event.") In This sense the Oklahoma City Charity Horse Shoe is no disappointment. The horses were on their best behavior and rider were bright and elegant in traditional habits. (photo tag: Antique cars and fashions provided intermission entertainment for the sparse audience.)"
