I was not a member of Tidewater Western Riders but was invited to ride in the 1969 Memorial Day Parade with them. I am trying to find pictures for our daughter. I tried Google but seem to go in circles and TWR is no longer in existence. I know it was filmed because I attended a showing of it later that year.
This is the only picture I was able to find involving the Tidewater Western Riders, but it is not the one you are looking for.

Thank you for trying!!
You're very welcome, Ladyhorse.
Dear Ladyhorse,
I don't think I have any more ideas than the ones you have already tried...1969, but perhaps you can still get lucky because more people are saving old mementos now, maybe!
Perhaps if this address is still correct? You could write to any surviving member and maybe someone has the archives for the organisation. Maybe. Otherwise, I couldn't find but bits and pieces.
