MORRISTOWN HORSE SHOW HELD IN RAIN;
Children's Pony Jumping Class One of the New Features of Exhibition
New York Times, 8 October 1915:
"Five children, none over 15 years, took part in the pony jumping class...Miss Ruth Brady rode Miss Helen Fiske's Maidstone, with which she took the reserve...."
Could this portrait be the same equestrian Miss Ruth Brady, a few years later?

Luther and Nicholas Tucker were the sons of Carll Tucker (1881-1956; Yale 1904) and the former Marcia Myers Brady (b. 1884).
The Tuckers were members of the Rumson Country Club of Rumson NJ. Given Marcia's maiden name, it's probably reasonable to assume that the Brady children and Tucker children here were cousins.
Luther Tucker (1909-2000) also attended Yale, and earned a divinity degree from the Episcopal Theological School. He was based in Shanghai while regional secretary of th World Student Christian Association (1938-1940), and became rector of the Indian Hill Church in Cincinnati. He married Josephine Pullman, and was father of four (Elizabeth, Marcia, Naomi, and Luther Jr.). He died while swimming off Old Lyme in the summer of 2000, age 91.

Also, six children, but only five names? So one of these is a mystery girl!

Millicent Vernon Hammond Fenwick (1910-1992) became a Congresswoman in 1975.

The child next to her might be her sister Mary Stevens Hammond.

The Brady girls were the daughters of James Cox Brady, and the nieces of Nicholas Frederic Brady and Marcia Myers Brady.

Ruth Brady married twice, to Michael Simon Scott in 1928 (they had three children before he died in 1938); and to Adam Batcheller Jr. in 1944 (she was widowed again in 1951). She died in 1972.

Looks like this is the 1915 Monmouth County Horse Show at Hollywood Park racetrack in Long Branch, N.J., as referenced by swanq above.
Corbis images has four photos from that event
www.corbisimages.com/Search#lc=Long+Branch,+N ew+Jersey,+U...
The New York Sun's August 1, 1915 account names most of those pictured:
"Master Luther Tucker took third prize with his black pony Patsy."
Luther Tucker is wearing his third place ribbon in the photo above, and the Corbis photo identifies his horse as Patsy.
"Mr. and Mrs. John J. O'Donohue motored from Plainfield and with them were Miss Helen Shoemaker and Allan Stevenson."
"A. Lincoln Stadler, who drove a coach from the Monmouth Beach Inn, had as
his passengers Mr. and Mrs. Emil Auerbach. Alfred Cornelius and Mrs. Stadler."
James Cox Brady, father of Jane and Ruth Brady was a horse owner:
"... there are several exhibitors who only recently have begun to get together a stable of show ring horses. J a m e s Cox Brady is one of these. He recently purchased several of the best harness
horses that w e r e in the stable of the late Alfred G. Vanderbilt, and some of them are to be seen at Hollywood this week. Mr. Brady won two prizes with the ponies..."
