The "Babe" Mary Jane sold to pay for Peg!
These pix are Mary Jane on her cherished "Prairie Girl", whom she always called "Baby", and Bud Brown called "Babe".
2 undated news clippings from Mary Jane's scrapbook. In the first (early 40's), the riders are first place winners at the Horselovers annual horseshow at the Windsor Square Riding Stables. Left to right; John Spalding on "Marriachi", Frankie Lou Brown on "Babe", Mikie Hooven on "Miss Melinda", and Johnny Shumaker on "Bob Jones".
In the second, M.J. saved only the picture, no "identifiers". Who IS this rider?
Could it be Tim Brown??
The mystery is "out of pocket" now! That IS Tim Brown,
jumping Babe in a show at the Tucker Farms, northwest of Phoenix.
(Verified by none other than the man himself. ~grin~.)
