Hi, I'm an admin for a group called Driving Horses, and we'd love to have this added to the group!

A very young John Mortimer Schiff (1904 - 1987), son of Mortimer Leo Schiff (1877 - 1931), learning to drive.

I started an entry for the club: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piping_Rock_Club

Schiff is in Wikipedia: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Mortimer_Schiff His father was "Loeb" not "Leo": en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mortimer_Loeb_Schiff

No Richard, who ever wrote that at Wikipedia is wrong, His middle name was Leo. He's my relative and I have been researching my families genealogy for several years now, unlike the the people who edit Wikipedia, some of whom seem very anti-Semitic to me, as they always seem to find it important to point out if someone is or was Jewish. Something I find very offensive and usually irrelevant.

This is a very interesting photo on how horse show were done in the early nineteen hundred's. It also goes to show how far we've come in making these events more entertainable and coming up with new ideas like dog shows.

It looks very similar to shows today!

Another Bain/LOC photo of the 1912 Horse Show:

possibly Madison Square Garden Horse Show? definitely one of the early indoor shows

Ladies Single Pony class, does look like MSG

possibly the New York Horse Show in Madison Square Garden - certainly a historic indoor show
