• Good Humor was a standout show hunter during this era, frequently ridden by top amateur and open riders in regional hunt events.
• Snowy Morn was a well-known hunter competing heavily in the tri-state area circuits in the late 1940s and early 1950s.
• Unearthly Hour was a famous 8-year-old gray mare owned and ridden by Miss Joan Prytherch of Glen Head, Long Island. This horse was highly decorated, regularly sweeping blue ribbons and capturing major Working Hunter championships throughout the Huntington and Meadow Brook circuits.
Meadow Brook Hunt Club (historically based around Westbury, NY) hosted these prestigious annual trials to test the versatility, form, and manners of top foxhunting horses over natural obstacles, fences, and simulated hunt field terrain. The 1951 edition brought together the finest horses from Long Island’s historic Gold Coast estates.
