I am assuming we are still in the 1913 tranche. But here is Dora Voight in 1916 at the Morristown, New Jersey show: Riders Injured At Morristown Show. Two Serious Accidents Mar the Opening of Field Club's Annual Exhibition. Source: New York Times; September 29, 1916 query.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=9C04E5DD143BE633A...

A Mrs William P Jenks of Morristown won second place at the September 1913 show for ponies under saddle, according to NYT of September 28, 1913 query.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=950CE0D8163DE633A... and NYT of September 26, 1913 query.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=9905E2D9163DE633A... notes that Miss Dora W. Voight of Green Village, NJ, won the ponies in harness class (presumably what we are seeing here).

Very nice !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

www.h-net.org/~business/bhcweb/publications/BEHprint/v028... mentions that biographers of Otto Kahn have either focused on his career of financier or on his support of the arts (such as the Metropolitan Opera). There was no mention of horses and four-in-hands. The NYT Magazine Section of August 7, 1910 query.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=990CE5DA1E39E333A... "OTTO KAHN -- A MAN OF STEEL AND VELVET; The Methods of a Financier Who Is a Big Figure in More Worlds Than the Financial One." does mention that he like to drive a four-in-hand. NYT of September 26, 1913, query.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=9905E2D9163DE633A... indicates that he did not drive the horses in the competition, so perhaps this is a photo op.
