The Acton Free Wednesday July 1973 Lets talk about HORSES with Jennifer Barr Big excitement at our house last week Gypsy our little Jumping mare was photographed for television Shell nPvPr nulla She never been quite same since she played a The Battle of Old Fort the since she played a part in Battle of Old Fort Henry a CBC film So what shes going to be like when she sees herself on television I shudder to think Well have to put a star on her stall Hardies anyone It all started classically with a phone coll from Jack Carpenter a news photographer for CTV among other things He wanted photos to flash on the screen periodically as a background for any equestrian news that comes over World Beat or News Beat Channels and Several types of horse activities would be on files and Jack wanted some shots of a horse jumping Dldlhaveahorse that wouldnt mind jumping the same jump a great many times Yes I sure did Gypsy is the worlds most enthusiastic and reliable jumper A date was made Marie was asked If she would ride Gypsy and agreed it would probably be a bit of a laugh I dont care for lumping enough to jump for two hours solidly I m liable to do something stupid when someones watching and fall off A fear of heights doesnt en courage me cither which Is why our house has only a twofool step ladder and a bunch of short horses So Marie it was Hind leg please The big day was sunny and hot but Jack was delayed so we stood around polishing Gypsy for ages The little more was top glossed and hoof blacked until she was unrecognizable She really looked quite smart as she stood tied to the fence hip shod lip drooping and fast asleep Jack arrived and Marie shot into the house to change Jeans and flowing hair for breeches and a hair net Gypsy and succeeded in getting two protest bucks out of her Marie appeared In full regalia looking like Pat Smylhe Barbara Simpson and Princess Anne all rolled into one Cameras appeared and a local reporter requested a casual pose of Marie standing by a fence with her back leg up Marie looked startled retorted that she only had front legs tool and calm The remainder of the afternoon went without a hitch Gypsy jumped and jumped and Jumped only refusing when she thought she was going to Jump on that man with the camera Marie handled her beautifully they both stayed cool and collected Mac and I ran around portantly Twins ring stewards and beer fetehcrs When It was all over Gypsy back in the pasture and Mane being fortified with straight tea I had time to think of he pleasure my mother In England would feel when she hears of her dearly loved little marc gracing Canadian television And to appreciate fully the 17yearold mare who would Jump more than limes on an day without batting an eyelash or even setting warm Industrial golf
