Fun Facts About Jackie Kennedy

To Our Readers,

Right before we went to press, we got welcome feedback from several long distance readers. Lark Henry, Manager, Trainer and Show Team Instructor at Bobbin Hollow Equestrian Center in Naples, Florida called to say she had just received our first issue. She was kind enough to express her support and congratulations, and tell us how much she loved Horse & Academy Magazine. Later that day we heard praise and encouragement from the other coast: this time from Kelly Nadler, Riding Instructor at Menlo Circus Club in Atherton, CA. We are also happy and proud to receive the words of support from Christina Stewart-Mitchell, correspondent for the AMHA breed registry. Our goal here at Horse & Academy is to start fueling new interest in the horse industry in Kansas City, and to move from here across the country. Thank you to every single one of our readers for your generous words of enthusiasm and your support. We need you to make Horse & Academy Magazine the great success it is meant to be!

See you in the Winner’s Circle! Fun Facts About Jackie Kennedy v Jackie was only a year old when her mother first put her on a horse. v By the time she was eleven, she had already won several national championships. v At Miss Chapin’s School in New York, a young

Jackie received a D because “her disturbing conduct in her geography class made it necessary to exclude her from the room.” v Jackie spent her junior year of college studying in Paris. v Her first job was as a photographer for the

Washington Times-Herald newspaper. While there, she interviewed Richard M. Nixon. She also covered the first presidential inauguration of Dwight Eisenhower and the coronation of

Queen Elizabeth II. v Jacqueline Bouvier married Senator John F.

Kennedy in 1953. In 1960, when she was 31, she became First Lady of the United States when her husband was elected president, narrowly beating Richard M. Nixon. v An early project as First Lady was to restore and preserve the White House.

CBS asked Mrs. Kennedy to present a televised tour, which 80 million Americans watched. This broadcast earned Mrs. Kennedy an honorary Emmy Award.

Jackie’s Quotable Quotes:

“The one thing I do not want to be called is First Lady. It sounds too much like a saddle horse.”

On the White House… “It looks like its been furnished by discount stores.”

“Every moment one lives is different from the other. The good, the bad, hardship, the joy, the tragedy, love, and happiness are all interwoven into one single, indescribable whole that is called life. You cannot separate the good from the bad. And perhaps there is no need to do so, either.”
