GAYLIGHT 

MR. J. S.PHIPPS of Long Island, brought out GAYLIGHT, a sure and consistent hunter that came fromIreland. Later the gelding belonged to Mr. Harvey S. Ladew, who hunted and showed him successfully for many years.

GAYLIGHT was a very fine type of Irish heavy weight hunter, a bay gelding, 16.1, foaled in 1901. He showed a great deal of breeding and was of exceptionally smooth and pleasing conformation for an Irishman. His greatest distinction, however, was in his resolute and yet collected style of jumping. With the best of manners in the showring and hunting field he made a most satisfactory mount for Mr. Ladew, who says that in all the years the horse was hunted with both the drag-hounds and fox hounds on Long Island he did not give his rider a single fall. He was also hunted at Harford and Millbrook. 

GAYLIGHT was a consistent winner in the showring, being, however, exhibited but little outside of Long Island. He won the heavy weight championship at the National Show in 1909, thus qualifying for the present chapter of "Show Hunters," and he won a championship at the Babylon Horse Show in 1913, at the age of twenty -two years—probably a record age for a  show champion—after which Mr. Ladew retired him from exhibitions. He is credited in the records with thirty-two blue ribbons during his long career.
