Show Society weighs extra prize for next year's high jump
At a Gloucester Show Society meeting secretary Mrs Newton proposed adding another high jump prize for next year after Wednesday's notable jumping. Several horses reportedly cleared seven feet though some owners felt rewards were essential to justify bringing horses. Suggestions included rebored holes, reset hooks, new posts, and restricting owner interference with the jump while the ground committee reviews the issue after further discussion.
