JCCC Archives presents the Sleuthing Series, where every Tuesday, we bring you an image from our past and ask you to help us find out more!
What We Know
- This picture is dated November 16, 1983, back when JCCC had an equine program. The person next to the horse was identified as Harriet Ridinger, Equine Studies Coordinator. Foundation Director, Sharyl Wallace, is on the far right.
- In the photographer’s notes, it simply states “Horse Donation.” That’s about all we know about this photo.
- Most of the Equine Studies classes and activities were held at White Fox Manor, south of Olathe and nearly 10 miles from the main campus. The program featured care and grooming, riding styles, training, judging, and more. Students often learned through competition. The expense of the program hastened its demise.
What We Don’t Know
- Who are the women?
- Where was this picture taken?
- What was the horse’s name?
