...Lebanese immigrant, Tiny was born as Herbert Khaury in New York City 35 or 40 years ago (he is coy about his exact age).

Since becoming a regular two years ago at a midtown nightspot called The Scene, he has risen to the status of court jester in the local realm of camp.

There is no end to which teen-age girls will not go, from shampooing their mounts' tails and fixing them with hair set to employing liquid shoe polish to cover up especially stubborn stall stains. All decked out, a horse must have some place to go, and one answer is the U.S. Pony Clubs ("Our Little League," says one mother). There are also the full-fledged horse shows, now almost weekly events in areas where there were once only three a year...
