I don’t know the circumstances behind this photo. This is Betty McClain, on a horse, bareback, in a dress (at least it looks like it to me).

I guess if someone in the McClain family were going to do this (ride a horse bareback in a dress), Aunt Betty would be the likely candidate. ;–)

This was taken on the McClain farm in Tallman. I’m guessing early 1930s, maybe 1932.

In 1932 (just as a reference point) Aunt Betty turned 15. So adjust the year according to how much older or younger you think she is than 15. Another reference point in the photo is barely visible to the left of the horse’s rump. I think that is probably Billy Hutchins. In 1932 he would have turned 10, so adjust for how old you think he is, too.

It is a cute photo of Aunt Betty. That much is certain.
