Congratulations to Shirley Fox, mom!
She is the 3rd generation professional in this country to show at Devon and hunt with Radnor Hunt Club. She started riding at an early age and began showing at the age of five. She started teaching, training and judging in the 1950s, got her little R in Hunters and Hunter Seat Equitation and eventually became a registered judge with the USEF, now holding Big R for decades. She is also an approved judge with the Welsh pony and Cob Society and has judged all over the country and in Bermuda.
She is a member of the United States Equestrian Federation, the US Hunter and Jumper Assoc., the Welsh Pony & Cob Society Assoc., a long time member of the Eastern PA Chapter of the PHA, the Eastern Pennsylvania Professional Horsemen’s Assoc., a past member of Pennsylvania Horse Show Assoc., the Radnor Hunt Club and is also a Board member of Ryerss Home for Retired Horses.
Over the last decade she enjoyed taking trips out west to a ranch near Jackson Hole. She rode all over the Gran Tetons, went on cattle drives, did team penning and warmed up cutting horses for a friend and then rode turn back while he cut.
We’re proud of you mom!
The photograph was taken at the June Fate Horse Show 1941. She was ridding “Peanuts” and led by her father in the leadline class that she won.
