1991 Adolph Mogavero   Adolph Mogavero rode in races on the flat and over fences before becoming a successful professional show rider in the 1940s, '50s and '60s. Riding with stylish form that was uncommon in the early days, he showed for leading stables in Boston and New York. Mogavero won jumper championships with First Chance and Sonoro at the nation's top shows. He enjoyed many successes with jumpers Balko's Edge and Ping Pong, as well as with Blue Bird and Fire One, which went on to compete internationally for the United States Equestrian Team. Equally successful aboard hunters, Mogavero rode Quaker Bonnet and Jane Tanner to AHSA conformation hunter honors. Lea's Boots and Bronze Wing were also frequently named hunter champions with Mogavero in the saddle. After his retirement from competition, Mogavero remained active in the horse show world as a regular AHSA jumper judge and timer, and as a Director of the American Grandprix Association.
