As a kid of the 70's there are a few funny things I remember... The Brady Bunch Silly Putty Shrinky Dinks Chinese Jump Rope Big Wheels The Dukes of Hazzard. Horse Related: No harnesses on helmets, nor safety helmets. No such thing as short stirrup or baby greens Scalloped braids. Braiding with yarn color to match coat. Brown boots/helmets velvet helmets. TB's winning everything. Rust breeches Harry Hall Breeches Pytchley Coats At Old Indio.. the OSTRICH RACES!!! Jimmy Williams cool bits Hunter Pairs, Hunter Teams at almost every show Outside Courses at a lot of shows. Natural jumps in hunter courses... logs, real brush, brick walls. 6 bar classes Puissance at a lot of shows. Ribbons as big as me at normal shows. Remember the old shows at Cow Palace? Big ribbons! Shows that had one arena for all classes. Socials at the shows, they were so fun. The OLD Santa Barbara Turkey show. I miss that one! PLEASE ADD YOUR OWN and pictures are great!! Here are a couple of old photos .. one early 80's, others 70's and 80's. My old horse "Lights Out" a TRAKEHNER in hunters in the early 80's. Nobody knew what he was back then. They all thought, arab cross? :lol: He had a nice head. |

Some of us remember the 60s too I remember the Maclay at the Garden Now THAT was a horse show!Being on "The Team" meant a lot! And you got ON the team because of who you rode for or who your parents were Sometimes you got on The Team because you had the best horse
Gladstone, NJ was Mecca There really was no "Florida" (just a couple of little shows where you could get out of the snow) Indio was 20 years away Bamboo poles were all over the schooling area The "Big Pretty Horses" division was huge and competitive! (regular conf) Judd Webster The Peter & David Show No Vermont No Hampton Classic. When it finally arrived, it was waaaaay different and wasn't it in Amagansett? I forget Horses got their shoes pulled after "New York" unless you were going to Toronto No USET finals No capital challenge No AHJF 1st years, 2nd years, regulars, conf, amateurs, juniors, ponies. Nothing else! Coolers hanging on the jumps in the schooling areaNo golf carts Boulder Brook Thanksgiving Judy Martin was IT in California Junior Hunters also did the eq (which was only medal and maclay) Took 4 medals to get to The Garden? So every smart kid used grandma's address in Florida (one medal) Hunterdon was IT reserpine ruled Custom Vogels wre less than $100 |

I remember learning to ride in the 60s. 1. Mounting: Lead pastured horse by halter to fence. Climb fence. Hop on board. 2. Riding: Wild gallop. No Saddle. No lead shank -- bitless, bridleless. No brakes. No steering. 3. Riding habit: Shorts, tee and sneakers. No helmet. Loose hair flying in the wind. Learned: Balance. Communication. Balance. |

I got that from my dad- Being a youngin, I am not sure what I was supposed to glean from that. I mean, we have all those precautions for all the kids who aren't around anymore to make fun of them...

I googled Shrinky Dinks, they still exist!! http://www.shrinkydinks.com/ Remember Lite Brite, Etch a Sketch, Spirograph? I remember when jacks were made of metal and my dad stepped on them when I left them on the floor, big mistake. Now they make them out of soft rubber. Remember the blow up dolls you punched and they hit you back in the face? |

Gracetw, We're not making fun of the precautions. We're revelling in our childhoods and feeling bad for how much kids today miss out on actual living. Yes, some kids from our day did get injured or die from not having a helmet on when they rode their bike bare-headed, bare-elbowed and bare-kneed. But how many kids today are dying today at very young ages from obesity-related diseases, largely due to inactivity while they sit in front of their computer games? Based on what I see walking around the beach, I'd bet a whole lot more today are dying or will die way before their time...and without ever having felt the wind in their hair. It's doubly sad. |
