Dale Klingsmith and Belgian draft horse, 1930 Item Info

Dale Klingsmith with a Belgian draft horse mare, having won first prize in the horsefitter competition at the Herdsmen Show in 1930. The job of the horsefitter or exhibitor is to prepare a horse for competition and to present a horse at its very best in front of a judge in the show ring. This photograph illustrates the difficulty of keeping a horse looking alert at all times, as her ears are facing backward, which tends to detract from a horse's appearance. She is standing squarely on her four legs, however, and is fitted nicely with mane and tail braids. An Iowa State College (University) horse barn and the Judging Pavilion appear in the background.
