ate EMots Dear Sir:

I sincerely hate to admit the fact that I've let my previous subscription lapse. I've been so busy with other things, that I think I even missed the "Stallion" issue.

My wife and I enjoy the magazine so much and we always read it from cover to cover the minute we receive it. At times, it's a battle to see who reads it first.

The news from the various clubs around the country is especially wel-comed by us, due to the fact that we're away from home and we like to keep up on the events of the Morgans and their owners. I am currently employed by Uncle Sam, therefore I don't even know what's going on in my own part of the country. I am stationed at Fort Belvoir, Va.

Now that show season is rolling around again, we long to be in there plugging for top honors with the rest of the Morgan folk, but we'll have to be content to stick close to home and enjoy our mare (Mar-Lo's Lady Den-ise), whom we brought with us from Michigan. At the present time Denise is visiting with Windcrest Donfield at Waseeka Farm.

Please find a money order in the amount of $3.50 enclosed to cover an-other years subscription to your won-derful magazine. Keep up the good work. If possible, I would like the subscription to begin with the "Stal-lion" issue.

I might add too that we would wel-come hearing from any Morgan owners in or near Alexandria, Va.

Very truly yours, Pvt. David C. Batton

To the members of the Morgan Horse Club

It is always a pleasure to report progress, and certainly the past year has shown a remarkable increase in registrations, transfers and memberships as well as increased activities in shows, trail rides, etc.

The local clubs continue to grow, both in membership and number of clubs. Two new clubs have been added this year, namely the Circle J Morgan Horse Association, Raymond Macy, Loveland, Colorado, President and the Mississippi Valley Morgan Horse Club with Don Dzengolewski, Lebanon, Illi-nois, President. The Circle I Club is holding its first annual All Morgan Show at Estes Park, Colorado, July 18 and 19. Following this Show a two day Trail Ride is planned. Nearly all the Clubs are holding All Morgan Shows. Reports of these shows as well as news from each club is printed each month in the Magazine. Much credit is due them for the progress that has been made in the last few years. Our special thanks to the publicity editors who have so faithfully furnished the Magazine with the monthly news. Our good friends in Canada are becoming more active, and I believe we will soon hear of a new club being formed north of the border. Our best wishes to them.

The Sixth Annual Morgan Horse Club Field Day and Judging Seminar was held at the farm of Mrs. John Junk, Mt. Sterling, Ohio, with the Ohio Morgan Association as co-sponsors. I have received many complimentary re-ports of the event. Events such as this cannot be held without the help of many people, and our sincere thanks to Mrs. Junk and the Ohio Association. Thanks also to the judges who gave of their time and talent to assist us. We already have a tentative invitation to have this event in Michigan next year. I hope that in the future more of the breeders will bring their horses in order that we may have a larger selection for placing and comparison. I realize a few breeders might hesitate taking their top show prospects to have it more or less taken apart, but they could take some that they did not plan to show. We definitely need more horses for a good comparison and in order that we may come to a more definite conclusion in our judging.

An event of much interest to the Morgan breeders was the Weanling Sale held at the Green Meads Farm, Richmond, Massachusetts, last October. While this event was not sponsored by the Morgan Horse Club, it could well be classed as one of the outstanding Morgan events of the year. The success of the sale prompted Mr. Morse to announce that another sale will be held October 12, 1959. Mark the date on your calendar and plan to attend.

The Magazine came within a few dollars of breaking even last year, and with just a little more effort on the part of the members in obtaining subscript-tions and advertising, we could place the Magazine in a good financial position. Mr. Eusey is doing an excellent job but he needs the help of all the membership.

We are still canvassing the field for a new Secretary and must take definite action soon. We cannot expect Mr. Stone to carry on for us much longer. The Directors are appreciative of Mr. Stone's generosity and of Mr. Hills ex-perience and knowledge in handling the Registry. Before another year rolls by, we hope to have our new office operating in full force.

We are looking forward to another excellent show with Everett and Wil-liam Roberts of Amherst, Massachusetts, as co-managers. A Championship Model Gelding and a Gelding Stake Class has been added this year. We have also added a Western Pleasure Class for riders under 18 years of age. We have changed the name of the Gay Ninety Class and are calling it the Cavalcade Americana. The class will be judged by the spectators and the winners will be asked to exhibit in the ring Sunday afternoon. A new attraction this year will be an exhibition by the Boston Mounted Police on Saturday. The show at Northampton, Massachusetts, will start at 9:00 A. M., Friday morning, July 24 and continue through Sunday afternoon with 76 classes.

A buffet supper will be held at the Northampton Hotel beginning with a cocktail hour at 5:30, Thursday evening, July 23. Immediately following the supper we will hold our Annual Morgan Horse Club Meeting. Only members

The Big Wind . .

Well folks, it's been a long time since I've gotten around to pulling out the old marking knife and hunker-in' down on my heels to visit a spell with all you Morgan people. That is in this manner as I've possibly gotten around to talk to more of you in per-son in the last year than I had ex-pected to in twenty years. And I still swear and be derned that there just "ain't no folks like Morgan Folks." I delivered horses in 1958 to folks from New Mexico to Minn. and points betwix and visited with everyone who would talk Morgan and a lot that wouldn't and every Morgan enthusiast was one doggone swell person. I guess I talked myself into more free meals in 1958 than a hobo king. Wherever I was, the Morgan Folks had the latch string out and the coffee pot on. Of course I rather expected this down in the cow-country of New Mexico but I'm here to tell you that those folks over in Minn. would make the old time Southern hospitality take a back seat. Heck it was just like rid-ing into a round-up outfit any place in the cow-country. That is they hollered "turn your horse in cavvy, the coffee is about to boil."

First off just before the first of 1958 Frank Hartley, of La Cinta Ranch down in New Mexico, called me on the telephone and told me to bring him every registered, unbroke stud and gelding I had. It is typical of Frank to buy these horses sight unseen. I think he figures that knowing I'm a might Scotch I'd be thinking of the telephone bill and make a faster deal that way. Of course he was paying the phone bill but a Scotchman just naturally can't stand seeing the time run up. At any rate I loaded up every-thing I had and set out for Roy, New Mexico making the whole run without stopping. This is a little over 1,000 miles and even with my number two boy to keep me awake it was quite a jaunt. The horses rode good and were in fine shape except for being a little

By ALBERT E. CROSS

leg weary when we got there. As soon as we got unloaded there were six horses and one driver all stretched out with their feet turned up to the New Mexico sun. After a nights sleep and eating the biggest part of a hind quar-ter of Hartley beef I borrowed Frank's car and scooted on down to Roswell, picked up number one boy, who is a student at the New Mexico Military Institute, and back home in time for Xmas. I'd advise all you Morgan folks to watch La Cinta Ranch and their Morgans. I believe that to be the greatest horse country I've ever seen. Horses grow out well there and as everything is straight up and straight down and solid rock they really develop feet and quarters. I saw some of the horses that Frank bought from me be-fore and they are something to see. He is breeding a Morgan horse to some mighty fine mixed blood mares and is wanting to get some registered mares. I'd say that anyone looking for a good working cow horse had ought to go see what those people have. Of course they have need for a lot of good cow horses and if you could talk them out of one or not I wouldnt know but all the same they sure have them. I al-ways figured that the best place to look for a cow horse was among cows and the Hartleys sure as hadies have them.

I'd just recovered from Xmas, and New Years, weaned the calves and colts, paid the income tax and caught up a few loose ends when I had a call from Al Dorow, Springfield, Minn. He stopped a little while one day the sum-mer before and we had talked Mor-gan. He looked over old Chief Justin Morgan and Breezy and hauled out for the Yellowstone Park after saying that I'd be hearing from him later. He asked me what I had for sale and then said to be looking for him as he was coming out. Now this fellow doesn't have to take a back seat to this jet age, he gets things done in a hurry for in two days time here he was a raren' to trade horses. I don't know yet just

how it happened but the next thing I knew I was to make another 1,000 mile trip with 10 head of Morgan fillies to Minn. About ten o'clock at night we went down country about 30 miles and Al talked a nephew of mine, Cecil Meeks, into coming up and handling the fillies for a week and then going on back to Minn. with me and the horses. You can bet it was a busy week around the old home dig-gin's then. Of course I couldn't keep out of Cecil's way so he put me to work and we got most of the older fillies rode and all of them so you could at least get in the same barn with them. Then loading them up we headed for Minn. and of course ran into the worst storm of the year. We took turns driving and even if the limit was 30 miles per hour most of the way we made good time until just short of of White Lake, South Dakota where we hit a patch of ice and rolled the outfit completely over. However all the damage to the horses was a black eye on one mare and a cut on her heel. Cecil and I got out and shook right good, counted the horses and as they were right in a barn lot with a load of hay decided that it could be worse. It was just getting daylight so we went up and pounded on the door until Mr. Ralph Glissendorph came out to see what was going on. I told him that he had a lot full of Morgans which didn't seem to cause any reaction what-ever. I guess he must be used to wak-ing up with a load of Morgans in his yard. He routed his son out and with the aid of his tractor we got back on the road, loaded up what was left of our stock rack and went into White Lake for breakfast. The main drag of White Lake was about the only street that you could get around on with a car as the snow was piled up worse than on the Upper Wind River in a hard winter. If any of you folks ever get out around White Lake, take time out and wander around town and

This is how he is known in this locale. His story has a sad beginning and a happy ending, like all good stories should. The sad beginning is a little three weeks old Morgan colt, thin and gaunt, beside a mother, dead of malnutrition. Her owner had passed away and for many months she had been left alone with only a few wisps of dead grass to sustain her. Finally she was sold — but it was too late and only the little colt was left to greet the new owner.

The new owner took the colt home and fed him from a bottle. He nursed the little fellow through a seige of pneumonia so serious the vet had not expected him to survive. He made the grade and today as a seven year old stallion his beginning seems in-credible. Standing 14-3, bright coppery chestnut flashily marked with white, full wavy mane and tail, head up and dark eyes flashing, it doesn't take a second glance to know his breeding. He isn't 'papered' — but he's Morgan from tip to tail. There is justifiable pride and much affection in the man-ner in which his owner handles him.

His owner (and former nurse) is Tex White, trainer and professional rodeo man. Tex and Sunny King have performed before audiences across the country from San Francisco's Cow Palace to the Shriner's National Con-vention in New York City. Already

they are scheduled to appear in thirty-two shows and rodeos this season.

Sunny King has a repertoire of nine-teen tricks. He performs on a lead line by verbal command. He knows all of the usual tricks like sitting on his haunches, dancing on his hind legs and nudging his owner across the ring with his head. The close communica-tion between man and horse is unique. A typical routine is something like this: "Do you like pretty girls?" Sunny King nods his head. "Do you like naughty boys," He shakes his head. "Are you smart?" He nods vigorously. "Can you count?" He nods and paws seven times. To the eye no signal is perceptible and the viewer is left with the impression that here is a man and a horse engaged in a very usual exchange of conversation-al banter!

By far and away the most spectacu-lar of his accomplishments is his leap through a blazing hoop. He per-forms without a rider, working from a lead line. With the hoop burning fiercely he circled and jumped again and again and again, never hesitating, never refusing, until the fire had died away and he was given the command "Whoa."

An example of his unquestioning obedience to his owner was his per-formance while turned loose in the ring. The stallion was circled and

jumped over a four foot jump, reversed and jumped three times entirely by verbal command. His owner held not even a stick. Mr. White explained that this is not being done before audiences at the rodeos yet, but that he expects to have the stallion working entirely in this way — loose and by spoken commands. The writers agree that it won't be such a very long time until he is ready for this!

Possessing typical Morgan ability to do all things and well, Sunny King was put through his paces as a top-notch roping and reining horse. We watched him work smoothly and easily through roll backs, quarter turns, lightning starts and excellent sliding stops. He can turn on a dollar and leave ninety cents change! Calves were not available for the demonstration, however we watched his proficiency in this field with his owner working the rope. He has been used in every way a horse can be used. Parade and color bearer, driving, stoneboat pull-ing, stock horse extraordinary, barrel racer and trick horse. To top the afore-mentioned qualifications, we watched him ridden by a small inexperienced boy — going along quietly without a sign of impatience p— not so much as a toss of his head toward the others in the corral beside him.

With the present horse show season sufficiently advanced to be able to talk about it with some degree of tolerance, an equitation judge's cautious com-ment that there seemed to be a pleasant increase in exhibitor sportsmanship over that of past seasons appears worthy of research. And it does seem that there are fewer and fewer shows at which one or more outraged exhi-bitors or owners storm into the ring with vociferous demands for the judge's head, preferably served on a salad plate without mayonnaise. Of course, the National, and many re-gional horse show associations were created with an eye toward the control of such scenes. The steady increase in the number of associated shows, with the protection given them by strict rules and even stricter penalties against such things, must be con-sidered as at least one of the contribu-ting factors. But it isn't the only one. A great deal of credit must go to the smaller groups; the riding clubs, the horsemen's associations, the 4-H, the pony clubs — all of which spend a great deal of time, and in some in-stances money, to help the neophyte horseman understand the vast com-plexity of the rules under which any horse is shown. Then too, there are the up-by-the-boot-strap people who go out on their own and read or observe themselves into the possession of that same knowledge For it is a very rare thing for complaints to come from the experienced and knowledgable horseman, just as it is equally com-monplace for the "What did my child do wrong?" to come from the first season show parent. Of course, there are exceptions, and probably every show manager in any particular sec-tion has reason to know them by sight —and their trailers many blocks away —but for these chronic offenders little, seemingly, can be done. Loud com-plaint seems as much a part of their personalities as an arm is a part of their bodies — and apparently just about as indispensable.

For the beginning showman how-ever, his degree of sportsmanship rises with his knowledge of the game as surely as any barometer. Trying

to be a good sport and smiling as you leave the ring without a ribbon, calls for the exercise of more iron than most of us have in our wills when, to the best of your knowledge, your horse has performed as creditably as the win-ner. Unfortunately it is more in keep-ing with human frailty to blame the judge than to reconsider your horse, yourself as a showman and your over-all performance in that class. Suppose we reconstruct it a little. First, were you completely familiar with the rules under which you were being judged? Now be careful, because that question is very thoroughly "loaded." Most, but by no means all, shows are asso-ciated wtih one or more parent organi-zations under whose rules they must operate. For instance, most of the larger are member-shows of the Ameri-can Horse Shows Association whose rules govern the judging of almost their every class. In some cases this may represent a radical departure from those at the show where you exhibited several weeks ago. If at that time you showed in a working stock horse class in which caveson-type nosebands were a permitted part of your bridle, then with A.H.S.A. rules governing the second show, you were eligible for disqualification under their rule which specifically prohibits the use of any such noseband on a working stock horse. Then again, there are the rules under which horses of various breeds are — or are not — permitted clipped manes, braided manes or set tails, plus a long list of other appurtenances. Ig-norance of the law has never been an excuse, as many a judge, from the Supreme Court of the United States on down to Third District, County of Bristol, State of Massachusetts, has had many an occasion to state. It's a law that applies to horse shows too. Be-cause your horse was improperly equipped, you were not placed in the class, but it is your responsibility to know that, not the judge's to tell you about it. Many of them will, especially when the class is one for children, but don't count on acquiring knowledge that way. Besides, its apt to be ex-pensive.

Pursuing the same subject a bit far-

ther, there are innumerable small shows that operate under no rules but their own. In many cases, what con-stitutes "their own" may be in open opposition to the regional group to which the majority of shows in that area belong. Sometimes the rule devia-tions appear on the class list but more frequently they do not. Because many of these shows are purely local, an ex-hibitor from any distance at all can find himself on some very boggy ground indeed at one of them. So can a judge, who might find himself con-fronted by a class called simply "Fanny Seat." There are all sorts of intrigu-ing possibilities to be considered with that on. Prosaically, it turns out to be a kind of bareback horsemanship class and he is pleasantly relieved, or maybe perversely regretful, depending upon his inclinations! This isn't to be construed as any criticism of the small local show, for they are truly the foundation without which such edifices as the National Horse Show would at least totter a bit. The ex-hibitor, and in many cases, the horse that is shown at the Garden in No-vember whose first show was not a local one is rarer than you would readily believe. It is often to be re-gretted that their rules are vague, but the local show occupies a space in the horseman's world that it fills very gainfully indeed.

There are very few judges who fail to cringe a little, at least inwardly when they are confronted by an irate parent demanding to know what his child "did wrong". It always takes a few minutes to sort out which class is being questioned, and then which exhibitor number goes with the child being, by this time, violently defended. To many judges, the very phraseology of the original question dictates the type of answer he must give. "What did my child do wrong?" is decep-tively simple, and is, oddly enough, us-ually best answered by an equally simple statement to the effect that his heels weren't down or that his hands were too high, rather than take the time to discuss the whole area of improvement he should make. Thus it is completely within the realm of possibility for a parent to make a whole circuit of shows some one season, mak-ing his demand of each judge, and ending up the year with almost as many answers as there were judges—and the firm conviction that none of them had any idea what was right —

The MORGAN HORSE

Mid-West Morgan Horse Owners, Inc.

By SHEILA CUNNINGHAM and BARBARA WHITE

So you want to breed your mare! Your Nellie is the right age, you have the facilities for the foal, you're will-ing to spare no expense to see that the foal has the best start possible, but you have one question. Who shall I use as a stud? Who can I ask to make sure I choose the right one?

You could ask the person who trims Nellie's feet for his frank opinion of her as a speciman of her breed. Bet-ter yet, you could go to a breeder whose opinion is respected and get a more qualified answer to your questions; but don't expect an answer until he has seen Nellie and her pedigree. Bred properly, Nellie can produce foals which will be better than she is,and their foals bred properly will be better still. But whether the foal is better or not will depend on Nellie's inherent traits of fault or virtue (seen or un-seen) as well as the stud's traits. Quality can definitely be improved —noticeably so. However, when one reaches a point in raising foals at which all the foals in the barn are fair-ly uniform, it is hard to see the im-provement. In other words, when faults are fairly evident, improvement is also evident and often rapid, but when the quality improves and faults are less noticeable, the improvements are slower in coming and less notice-able.

In deciding to breed Nellie you have become a potential breeder. Your mo-tives should be good in the sense that you want something better than Nellie. Now, consciously or unconsciously you must choose a breeding program. You have stveral choices. First, you could breed to the current top WIN-NER. You might be very lucky and get a good foal, but unless the back-grounds of the two horses were simi-lar you may have little chance of get-ting a good foal.

Your second choice is to select the stud regardless of background, which does not have the same faults as Nellie. Your chances here are somewhat better but a foal of this breeding might have faults that were recessive in the stud. The third program open for you to try is the "consider the grand-parents." Try to look at or find out about Nel-

lie's parents and the parents of the potential stud. Check to see if a fault of Nellie's is found in the stud's parents, although not present in the stud himself. If you find the fault in the stud's parents, it could easily be transmitted to the foal. It is, of course, equally true of virtues for these traits good or bad, often skip a generation.

This third program almost inevi-tably leads you to line breeding. This is close breeding, doubling up on a particular stud or mare in the pedigree so that the same stud may appear as the father and also the grandfather of the foal, for example. It cannot be stressed enough that not all line-breeding is good. It is not a virtue in itself. Since line-breeding is close breeding, the faults as well as the vir-tues are intensified so that it is essen-tial to line-breed only to those studs or mares with few faults. Line-breed-ing is really putting into practice the Mendelian Laws of Inheritance. If a given trait, such as dark eyes, is passed to offspring when bred to the opposite trait, light eyes, the dark eye is said to be dominant, while the light eye is called recessive. However, if two dark-eyed individuals each with one light-eyed parent are bred together, there is a chance of producing offspring with the recessive trait of light eyes, as well as offspring with the dominant trait of dark eyes. Some of the traits considered desirable are dominant, some are recessive. Most of the indi-viduals of any species are mixtures of both. Each trait is determined by one or more pairs of genes which are in turn contained in pairs of chromo-somes.

During the production of sex cells a reductive division occurs which re-sults in the indivdual egg or sperm having one of each of the pairs of chromosomes of the parent and of each pair of genes. Now, when the egg and the sperm unite there is the same num-ber of pairs of chromosomes with the same number of pairs of genes, but not necessarily identical with the orig-nal pairs since half of the chromosome number came from the stud and half came from the mare. Therein lies the chance that the offspring may be dif-ferent from his parents. If each charac-ter trait were transmitted completely independently the task of getting the proper dominant and recessive traits together in one individual might be easier. However, many traits require several genes which are passed on in one chromosome. When the desired trait is determined by several genes it

is more difficult to produce exactly what is wanted. If the desired com-bination is present in one individual, this one may be able to pass this com-bination on to its offspring. If it can, it is called prepotent for these traits. The more often this prepotent indi-vidual appears in the pedigree of the contemplated foal, the more apt this foal is to resemble the prepotent an-cestor. It must still be remembered that if this ancestor had faults (and no horse is perfect) the possibility of these faults being inherited is also in-tensified.

A serious breeder must be familiar with the almost insurmountable task of trying to trick the genes and chro-mosomes into the right combination to produce the quality desired. This is the point at which many potential breeders become discouraged and give up. Are those of us who stick to it foolhardy or courageous? Whichever it is, we are never satisfied and keep trying to improve the quality of gener-ation after generation of foals. Of course it is hard! If it were not, there would be more breeders and more horses. The reward comes with the thrill of winning the yearling class with one of Nellie's descendents. This satisfies for a time, then the aim is to breed a champion. The goals are never ending. As each one is attained, a new one springs up to beckon us on. Let us hope it is ever so!

Mendelism enables us to evaluate an animal not for what he is but for what he will produce. It explains why of two full brothers, equally good looking, one may be a potent force for the betterment of his breed and the other may be utterly worthless to im-prove his line. This is not usually the case however, for the desirable ani-mal is usually the one which produces desirable progeny. The experienced breeder in most cases can hazard an at least partially valid opinion about what kind of progeny an animal should produce merely from an ex-amination of the animal.

Merely by weeding out the worst and breeding from the best, breeders of the past have endowed our century with all of our true breeding races. However crude this method may seem to the genetics student, it did accom-plish the end that was intended: to breed a descendent that was better than the parent. But in any event, Mendelism takes the fatalism out of breeding. "As ye sow, so shall ye

Our regular monthly meeting held April 26th, at Caven-Glo, home of the Larry Oakleys, Westmont, Illinois, had excellent attendance. Due to the rather chilly day, the program was put on first and business after. The pro-gram "Tips on Halter Showing" was put on by Bob Glenn and proved to be an excellent program. Bob Glenn gave many tips on grooming and pre-paring the colt for showing, that should do much to help our members in future shows. Bob has promised to do an article for our Club News Letter on this subject in the near fu-ture. The Morgan models used for this program were the yearling stal-lion, Dorian Ashmore (Lippitt Ash-more-Spring Darling) and the year-ling filly, Caven-Glo Sunseri (Verran's Laddie—Jubilee's Gloria), belonging to Caven-Gio. At the end of the pro-gram, Bob took a few minutes to en-joy himself by trotting Dorian Ash-more around the ring — said he felt right at home because Dorian re-minded him so much of his older brother, Dwight Ashmore, owned by the Glenns. Members then moved in-doors to enjoy the warmth of hot cof-fee and donuts and to settle down to business.

A very important step was taken, which has long been needed—a Junior Director. A motion was made and passed unanimously to amend the By-Laws to replace the position of Direc-tor of Records with that of Director of Junior Activities. The adult mem-ber appointed for the balance of the year to this position will be chosen by the Juniors, themselves. Since the first of the year, the Pedigree Record book has been compiled and is being kept up by the Juniors. This is de-

cidedly an educational project, for many of the pedigrees of the "Outside stallions" section must be looked up in the Registers and these Juniors are learning to trace these pedigrees. The section covering the pedigrees, pictures and information on members has been almost completed and is available for inspection at each meeting. Penny Baran, with her round, neat hand-writing has been doing the copy work.

The question of club colors has fin-ally been settled, with a unanimous vote for Crimson and Pearl Grey. Our next job is to work out a suitable uni-form for future parades, using these colors.

Just before the meeting adjourned, Rae Miller, our genial Vice-President, presented Pat and Ron Hayward with an envelope containing a down pay-ment for a full sister to the little filly they lost this spring — Celine Jubi-lee's Courage — Lippitt Dulcie). This was a voluntary contribution made by many of the members to show in some small way, their keen sympathy in the loss of this attractive little filly.

I am including a letter received ad-dressed to "Our Editor" column of our Club's News Letter, which nor-mally we do not include in the maga-zine news. However, we believe this letter would be of interest to our Mor-gan readers wherever they may be:

"Dear Editor: This is probably the hardest letter

I've ever written, and yet it should be very easy, but the words to express our appreciation are hard to put on paper. Ron and I were both about speechless when Rae handed us the gift at the last meeting. We were com-pletely in the dark that there was any-thing going on. It seems that the

members of our club have as big a heart as the Morgan horse itself.

"We have already written to Fran Bryant about saving Celine's sister and it was confirmed over the week-end that we could have Dulcie's foal if it is a filly. We will have to work our fingers to the bone to make this little filly something special, now that it is almost a Club project. In this way, we would like to thank everyone who gave toward our wonderful gift, which has already been sent to Fran Bryant towards our filly. Once again thanks to everyone from the bottom of our hearts."

Ron and Pat Hayward

FLASH! PLAY DAY HUGE SUCCESS! !

The big news is of course the May meeting and club "Play Day" and the results. It seemed that every member, invited guest—the horses—and even the weather man co-operated to make this our biggest and best program so far.

Sunday, May 17th, was perfect, not too warm—not too cool, one of those rare and beautiful days in the Chicago area. The members had planned everything carefully, leaving no de-tail out — the ring at Caven-Glo was in perfect order — food and drink was plentiful all day — horses behaved in an orderly manner — there was plenty of help on hand before and during the show — the classes were run smooth-ly and efficiently, well spaced with in-teresting exhibitions — there was no complaint! What more could any Club ask for their first attempt at a Club Show!

The MORGAN HORSE

Two weeks ago on a Saturday morn-ing, I industriously crawled out of bed early, for a change, with the good intentions of attending my 8 o'clock class. A phenomenon I assure you that rarely happens. I walked rather sleepily into a restaurant for my morn-ing coffee and like most people reached for the morning paper to read. Little did I realize at that time that there was an item appearing in that paper which would rapidly subdue my sin-cere intentions for attending class.

The subhead over the item of parti-cular interest read something like that which follows: "Boston Mounted Police to Perform in Lynn." Having heard so much about this outstanding unit of Mounted Police, and since my curiosity was over-powering my sense of duty to the scholastic field, I some-how rationalized myself right out of class, and traveled to Lynn to witness the performance of this outstanding and wonderfully polished unit of horsemen. Needless to say, the day, and the trip, were full of very reward-ing surprises, and the results of this excursion were far beyond my fondest expectations. I say this for several reasons. First of all, the lead horse of the Boston Mounted Drill Team, and the horse that had the honor of carry-ing the Police Banner, was, in my opinion, one of the most outstanding registered Morgan geldings I have ever had the chance to feast my beady little eyes upon. This fact, coupled with the outstanding performance that this Morgan gave under the capable hands of Sergeant Ben Donahue, convinced me that the entire troop of Mounted Police were a must for the 1959 National Morgan Horse Show in July. Keeping this thought in mind, and when I returned to the fair town of Durham, I immediately contacted the powers-to-be" and conveyed to them

my findings. The concomitant result was that through a very good friend of mine, Mr. John C. MacFarlane, Director of Livestock Conservation and of WBZ-TV; Mr. Davis, our President, Mr. Roberts, our Show Manager, Mr. MacFarlane, and I won an audience with the Commissioner of the Boston Police Department, Leo J. Sullivan.

At this time, Morgan enthusiasts, I am proud to report to you that you will have the opportunity to witness this outstanding Mounted outfit per-form on Saturday, July 25th. Never before have I met a more enthusiastic and sincere group of horsemen, all of whom have one secret desire —that of equipping their division en-tirely with registered Morgan horses. And when you see their registered Morgan gelding perform, I am sure you will vividly understand why they have this dream.

Justinson, lusty" as he is more af-fectionately called by the members of the Police Force, came to the Boston Mounted Police via the generosity of Mrs. Eleanor Sears as a three year old. She purchased him for the Police De-partment from Mr. and Mrs. Crawford W. Flemming of Fairhaven, Mass. lusty" was foaled on May 27th, 1954. He is by Justin Jubilee 10160 and is out of Dorsets Proud Lady 08690. Sergeant Ben Donahue is his Master, and according to him, training lusty" in the intracacies of police work was no mean nor arduous task. His versa-tility, his Morgan disposition, and his willingness to learn, according to Ben, not only made him cut out for the job, but put him in the position and honor of being the outstanding horse in the Mounted Division. This fact is further clarified when you study the pictures of lusty" on duty.

lusty" is a liver colored chestnut,

stands between 15.2 and 15.3, and is very typey with a lot of quality, plenty of bone and substance, and possesses that Morgan disposition which has won him many friends. He has not only become the pet of the Police Force but doesn't have an enemy in the city. From children to adults, he is admired and loved by all.

According to Commissioner Sulli-van, and Sergeant Peter Dooley, the Grand-dad of the Mounted Division, one good horse like lusty" is worth twenty men in Police work. He said that no Police Force is really a Police Force without a Mounted Division. It certainly goes without saying, that this is another first for Morgans. And lusty" is certainly a Morgan that not only the Boston Mounted Police can be proud of, but we Morgan enthus-iasts as well.

The Boston Mounted Police Division has been in existence a little over 100 years. Sergeant Dooley tells me that not all horses make good Police horses; they must have a disposition and a willingness to learn as prerequisites for their acceptance in such intricate work. Their effectiveness lies in how well they come through their training period. Good Police horses are price-less in such work where mob action is a problem. When not on duty, the members of the Mounted Division spend much of their free time prac-ticing their drill team maneuvers. The results of their efforts you will have an opportunity to see July 25th, and when you do, I am sure you will be as enthusiastic about them as we were when we first saw them. So let me say, "Hats off to the Boston Mounted Police," we shall look forward to see-ing you at the National.

Some two months ago, Mr. John C. MacFarlane, Director of Livestock Conservation Inc., member of the Board of Directors of the Angel Mem-orial Hospital, and of WBZ-TV, ap-peared on the University of New Hampshire campus to demonstrate to one of the Meat's classes new and humane methods of slaughtering live-stock for human consumption. During an idle moment, and in a conversation between Professor Tirrell and I, Mr. MacFarlane asked if we could get a nice Morgan mare and foal for him to present on his television program, and would we appear on the show to discuss Morgans with him. In view of the fact that this was an excellent op-

Mid-Atlantic News

By HELENE ZIMMERMAN

Foaling news seems to have top priority this month. Down in Fred-erick, Md., the Joseph Vonas report a stud colt by Upwey Ben Don out of Countess Aida Vona; his name will be Count Benaida Vona. In Narberth, Pa., Mr. and Mrs. Albert Lucine's recently purchased mare, Ko Ko Dean, presented them with a chestnut stud colt; the sire is Springbrook Midnight, owned by Mr. Donald Streich of Minn-esota. Just reported was still another stud foal to Marilyn Childs' June Mar-Lo. This youngster, sired by Lippitt Mandate, will be named Mystery Man. It seems that fillies this year are few and far between.

Sandy Hunt of McGraw, N. Y. dropped me a note saying that her Rose of Dawn (Bennfield x Jonquil) has been sold to a party in Massa-chusetts and that she has just pur-chased Lady Dygert, one of the few remaining daughters of Cornwallis. She has had Orcutt Fannie Allen bred back to Nobles' Dyberry Billy and hopes to send Lady Dygert to him also. At present her other mare, Annfield, is at Ela's where she will foal and then be bred to Orcland Vigldon. The only foal Sandy has to report so far is a Thoroughbred colt, a great-grandson of Man O'War.

I received a nice newsy letter from Marguerite Hens in Buffalo, N. Y., about the Bachman-Hens family Mor-gans. They are delighted with the two fillies, Georgina Twilight and Sallie Twilight, purchased from Mrs. Rice this winter. At present they are even more excited by Westfall Blythe's first filly. After three chestnut stud colts, she has finally come through with a bay filly. Their good western mare, Plain Jane, has been doing well again this year in open western classes. She recently won a large western model class (to the chagrin of the Quarter horse exhibitors) and was pinned in several western working classes. With this impressive showing it is not hard to understand why Plain Jane was Western Champion in Erie County 4-H last year, defeating 70 other horses. At the same show men-tioned above, Dorothy Bachman's My

Copper Penny won the Open Western Pleasure class over 28 horses.

Though at the time of this writing the show season is just underway, Frederick's Mid-Atlantic Morgan Show will not be far off when this column appears. Everyone is working harder than ever to make this show a success this year. The Trophy Committee is headed by Mrs. Noble and Dr. Schaeffer and includes Mrs. Richards, Mrs. Vona, Mrs. Horns, and Mrs. Lucine. Mrs. Barbara Cole heads the Promotion Committee of Mrs. Parks, Mrs. Glenn, Mrs. West, Mrs. Arnold, Mr. Kemper, Emily Horns, Mrs. Lad-eroute, and Mr. Brown. These folks are doing all they can to make this show the best ever, but in the end it is YOU — the exhibitors and specta-tors — who determine the success of the show, so let's all get behind them. One ingenius piece of promotion work was thought of by the Glenns in Royersford, Pa. They passed out straw hats with lettering on the streamers advertising the date and location of the show. I was lucky enough to have one for the big Devon Horse Show and the number of comments on both our show and Morgans in general was amazing.

A lot more Morgan promotion work has been going on, but in a different section of Pennsylvania and for a dif-ferent show. Out in Greenville, Pa., which is mainly Saddlebred and stock horse country, a small band of Morgan enthusiasts decided to try to get a Morgan class in their annual show. Mrs. Ed Filer, Mrs. Dayton Lockard, and Mrs. R. A. Zimmerman began contacting wide-spread Morgan owners to ask for their support at the show. They decided that the local folks should know something about Mor-gans before seeing them in the show, so a window in the downtown business district was used to display photos and paintings of Morgans as well as copies of this magazine. The local sports editor had a very nice editorial in the Greenville Record Argus on the breed and Mrs. Gilbert Diehl, an Arabian owner in the area, gave excellent talks on the Morgan on both radio and tele-vision out of Youngstown, Ohio. When Memorial Day finally rolled around, the group was rewarded with a good turn-out. Mrs. R. A. Zimmerman presented the sterling silver trophy to the winner, Hawk Prince, owned by Mrs. Carol Copeland, Fairview, Pa.; 2nd, Hurricane Hawk, Geraldine Cas-sell, Girard, Pa.; 3rd, Lucy Belle,

Carol Copeland; 4th, June Melody, Ann Engelskirer, Fairvew, Pa.; 5th„ Pistol Pete, Don Anderson, Hubbard,. Ohio. In the Open English Pleasure, Lucy Belle was second with June Melody fourth; the Pleasure Stake saw June Melody fourth again with Lucy Belle fifth. Lucy Belle and her foal placed third in the Open Mare and Foal Class.

The Central Pennsylvania Horse Shows are including a Morgan horse class in each of their shows this sea-son. Their remaining shows are:

June 19-21 is the date for this year's ride. Every-one who goes always raves about the wonderful trails and delicious food. What more can you ask for?

A last minute sale has just been re-ported. Marianne Dalessandro of Ambler, Pa., has just sold her two-year-old filly, My Joan K (Nekomia's Archie x Oatka Red Pennie), to Miss Jane C. Hopkins of Newark, Dela-ware.

Mid-Atlantic members have been do-ing well in earlier shows this season. At Farmington, Conn., Mrs. Noble won the Under 15 hands, Amateur, Amateur Stake, and Reserve in the Open Morgan Stake with Dennisfield. At Buffalo, N. Y., Mrs. Richards took a second and third with Mandate's

A last minute sale has just been re-ported. Marianne Dalessandro of Ambler, Pa., has just sold her two-year-old filly, My Joan K (Nekomia's Archie x Oatka Red Pennie), to Miss Jane C. Hopkins of Newark, Dela-ware.

Mid-Atlantic members have been do-ing well in earlier shows this season. At Farmington, Conn., Mrs. Noble won the Under 15 hands, Amateur, Amateur Stake, and Reserve in the Open Morgan Stake with Dennisfield. At Buffalo, N. Y., Mrs. Richards took a second and third with Mandate's

The MORGAN HORSE

Mid-America Morgan News

By JANE BEHLING

This past month has been such a busy one, that it seems that everyone is sticking pretty close to home, work-ing with their horses. The weather is perfect, there's much to be done, con-sequently there is a scarcity of news this time.

Parmely Harris of Mineral Point, Wisconsin, announces the arrival of a nice dark bay filly foal sired by Dud-ley and out of Dark Beauty.

And at HyLee Farms, Cambria, Wisconsin the anxiously awaited first get of their junior stallion Billy Burk-land has arrived. A chestnut colt that is a perfect miniature of his sire. The dam HyLee's Lady Justin, many times a champion in her hey-day, seems most proud of her son as she well should be. Billy Burkland impresses visitors with his "Orcutt" look, his uniformity to the type of his family from his dam Vigiida Burkland to his half brothers Orcland Leader and Vigilendon, to his sire Gay Dancer.

Mrs. Ralph Schad of Browntown, Wis, has sold her excellent yearling filly, Dainty Brenda Lee to the L. S. Greenwalts of Pawnee, Ill. Brenda is an Illinois Morgan Futurity eligible sired by the late Rhodoak and out of the good mare, Bambi Moon.

Michigan's loss is Wisconsin's gain, Mr. John Williams, manager and trainer of the Kanes' Woods and Water Morgan Farm at So. Lyons, Mich., has just delivered two top geldings to the B. A. De Martinis of Minocqua, Wis. They are Wal-Thor, purchased from the Kanes and John A. Darling, purchased from Walter Carroll. The De Martinis became interested in the Morgan some time ago, and plan to use the two new acquirements for pleasure mounts.

Now, Wisconsin's loss is Illinois' gain, the William Bartons of the Big Bend Morgan farm at Rockford, have purchased the handsome three year old stallion, HyLee's Lady's Man (Max Hi Ho Kid—HyLee's Lady Jus-tin) from HyLee Farms at Cambria, Wisconsin. Lady's Man is a dark chestnut with just the right amount of white markings to set him off well. He stands at an ideal 14.3 and is a typical close coupled typy old style

Morgan. Manager Harry Andre re. ports that the Barton girls are riding him some too, this young stallion has a marvelous disposition and a world of action and animation to go with it.

If you were a musical arranger and orchestra conductor, what would you name your Morgan horse. Silly ques-tin? Of course the Morgan would just have to be called Golden Trumpet! And thus he is. Bill Roddick of Portage, Wisconsin has his nice four year old gelding Trumpet in training with Mr. Carl Stuart at the Mello-Day Stables at St. Johns Military Academy, Delafield, Wisconsin. Mr. Roddick returned to Wisconsin last fall after spending two years in Oregon and Washington where he reports visiting many Morgan breeders, and informs us that the Morgans in that area are really some of the best.

Club members enjoyed a field day on May 17th at the Oakwood Farm in Hartland, Wis. A sizeable crowd gathered to observe and learn the proper ways to exhibit your Morgans in the Model, Fine Harness and Three Gaited classes.

The July meeting of the club is to be held July 26th at the Madison, Wis. horse show held on the Dane County Fair Grounds. Details of this meet-ing will be sent to members at a later date.

out the details. It was also suggested that a Field Day—Judging School be held sometime this fall. This will be discussed more fully at our next meet-ing.

Several topics were shelved until the next meeting. One of these was that of donating a trophy and ribbons to the National Morgan Horse Show. Drafting of a set of By-Laws was also put off. Copies of proposed By-Laws will be mailed to members, to be sent back with additions and suggestions.

Following the business meeting, colored slides of Morgans and half-Morgans furnished by some of the members were enjoyed. The Wil-tons also showed movies of their three-quarter Morgan colt that were very entertaining.

There have been a number of sales reported recently. We are fortunate in having another excellent stallion added to the area. Mr. and Mrs. Earl MacMichael of Godfrey, Ill., purchased the chestnut, 12 year old Redberry from Mr. Peterson of Minneapolis. He is sired by Agazziz out of Rozel.

hope to see him in some of the local shows. "Mac" evidently didn't want to truck one horse home, as he also bought a very nice, well-bred chestnut mare with a good-looking stud colt by her side. The mare, Brooklyn Scarlet is sired by Sonny Bob, who was bred by E. A. Darling of East Burke, Ver-mont, and her dam is Scarlett O'Hara by Will Rogers. This brings the Mac-Michaels' total number of Morgans to seven, with two foals expected short-ly. The MacMichaels have recently sold the bay yearling stallion Durango, by Cinnamon King out of Bonnie Flash, to Mr. and Mrs. Linus Huck of Commerce, Mo. The Hucks plan to use the colt for breeding purposes.

Mr. and Mrs. Truman Pocklington of Shipman, Ill., dropped down to Lebanon recently to visit the F. K. Dzengolewskis and bought a bright chestnut yearling mare from them. Sired by Royal Clipper out of Lilita by Gallant Tex, she is a worthy addi-tion to the two good Morgans already owned by the Pocklingtons. The Dzengolewskis have also sold another yearling filly to Gene Parr, 14 year old son of Lt Col. Marvin Parr of Scott Air Base, Ill. Gene has been helping with the Dzengolewski horses during his spare time the past year. Dancing Doll, a bay, is sired by Pride of King and out of the good mare Dellama. The Parrs and filly will soon be mov-ing to Fort Riley, Kansas where Col. Parr will be Post Transportation Officer.

On May 21st, Sue Lutz of Lebanon was presented with a nice bay filly by her half-Morgan mare, King's Pride, by Pride of King. The sire is Royal Clipper.

Since Don Dzengolewski recently purchased a bowling alley and hasn't much time for working with the horses, F. K. Dzengolewski has de-cided to cut down on the number of Morgans he owns. In the past couple of months, four mares and a gelding have been sold, and we understand he has two very nice young stallions for sale at this time.

The William Byers of St. Louis have been driving their chestnut yearling filly Jubilee's Starlight in long lines and report that she is coming along nicely. This is a very nice filly and should make a good harness mare for them.

Newest member of the club is Roy Brunk of Rochester, Ill. Roy is well known as a breeder and also as a

judge of Morgan horses, having judged several times at the National Morgan Show. We are glad to have him as a member, and hope to have some news of his Morgans soon.

Recently our Iowa members, the Er-nest McElhinneys of Morning Sun, Iowa, accompanied by their friends and fellow Morgan breeders, the War-ren Hohmbrakers of Sperry, Iowa made a "flying" trip down St. Louis way. Accomplishing the next to im-possible, they managed to stop and visit with the Brachears of Waggoner, Ill., the Scans of Medora, Ill., the MacMichaels of Godfrey, Ill., and the Byers of St. Louis, and returned home again, all in one day!

"Morgan Horse" is becoming a familiar term among Greater St. Louis area horsemen since the formation of the Mississippi Valley Club. The pub-licity chairman of the first Illinois-Missouri Horse Shows Assn. all west-ern shown to include a Model Morgan class was happy to make use of the colorful history and exceptional back-ground of the Morgan in promotion of the Sacred Heart Show. St. Louis' Channel 4 Town and Country Pro-gram. recently included commentary on the usefulness of the versatile Mor-gan, and featured a picture of Ray Scads' Cinnamon King in full parade dress representing the Mississippi Val-ley Morgans taking part in the show. Having joined the Illinois-Missouri Horse Shows Association, the Miss-issippi Valley Club is happily poking a finger into a number of activities in the greater St. Louis arca and being warmly received. Previously little publicized, the Morgan is coming into his own in this area and is now on the tips of many tongues.

The Ohio Morgan Horse Associa-tion was honored and pleased to be the host for the 6th Annual Morgan Horse Judging Seminar and Field Day on Saturday, May 9th. The seminar was sponsored by the O.M.H.A. and

the Morgan Horse Club, Inc., and was held at Sugar Run Farm, Mt. Sterling, Ohio. Sugar Run Farm is owned by Mrs. John W. Junk, and managed by Mr. Joe Bukey, and a great vote of thanks goes to Mrs. Junk and Mr. and Mrs. Bukey for all their hard work.

Over 200 people gathered at Sugar Run on a day that had trouble decid-ing whether to rain or shine. The sun won out, as was shown by some of the lovey red noses sported at the evening banquet. Following the morning registration, and the lunch, served on the grounds, Mrs. John Junk opened the afternoon, welcoming the guests and giving a brief history of Sugar Run Farm. Short addresses were also given by Mr. F. 0. Davis, President of the Morgan Horse Club, Inc.; Mr. Paul Rumbaugh, President of the Ohio Morgan Horse Association; and by Mr. Frank Hills, Secretary of the Morgan Horse Club. Mr. Davis then introduced Dr. C. D. Parks, DVM, judge of the Seminar, who gave an interesting outine of the history of the Morgan horse, and explained the hows and whys of judging a Morgan. As a model for his talk Dr. Parks used Nuggett, the grand old man of Sugar Run. Nuggett has sired many fine colts, including Big Bill B, shown to great success by both Mr. and Mrs. Bukey. The actual judging started with four Morgan fillies, and there was a ringful of people anxious to test their eye. We were very pleased to have among our spectators fifteen nationally recognized judges as well as a good number of nationally known breeders. Following each class Dr. Parks gave his placings and the reasons for them, then several of the judges, breeders, and just plain "rail birds" offered their opinions. There were a few differences of opinions, of course, but wouldn't things be dull if everyone thought the same. In addition to the filly class there were classes for Morgan mares, 4 years and over, stallions under 4, and stallions 4 years and over. A 3-gaited English performance class was also judged, and everyone enjoyed a special comparison class featuring 3 stallions, a Quarter Horse, an Arabian and a Morgan. The same comparison was made with three mares.

Following the afternoon program, a banquet was held in Mt. Sterling. Following an excellent meal, Paul Rumbaugh led the group in an infor-mal discussion of the Morgan horse.

MISS DINA (Allen Daire x Because) owned by Henry Fawcett of Elkhart, Indiana.

The 2nd meeting of The Indiana Morgan Horse Club was held Sun-day, May 3rd, at the State Fair-grounds. An enthusiastic meeting was called to order by chairman for the day, Mr. Henry Fawcett.

WE HAVE. STARTED — elected officers, selected a constitution com-mittee, and set our dues — WE ARE ON OUR WAY.

Our officers are as follows: Mr. Henry Fawcett, President; Mr. Enos Allee, Vice-president; Mrs. Rachael Centers, Secy.-Treas.; and Mrs. Bever-lee Stahl, Pub. Secy. Elected to the Board of Directors in addition to the officers were: Mrs. L. A. Schaffer, Mr. Wm. Kellogg, Mr. Jack Steven-son, Miss Flora Lee Elkington, and Mrs. Phyllis Barber.

We are now ready to accept dues, so come on you hoosier Morganites get on the band wagon now—by mail-ing your dues — only $3.00 per person or $5.00 per family, to Mrs. Rachael Centers, R. R. 2, Portland, Indiana.

Mrs. Rachael Centers and her daugh-ter Camille have offered their lovely farm as the site for our next meeting, June 21st, with an outdoor bar-b-que and chance to become acquainted with their Morgans.

Now for some news items from the Hoosier State.

Our President Mr. Henry Fawcett of Elkhart has purchased a bay 4 year old mare, Miss Dina, from Harold Meyers of Barrington, Illinois. Miss Dina is reported to have a typical Mor-gan disposition and is coming along nicely under saddle. She is sired by Allen Daire and out of Because.

Mr. Fawcett's Green Acres Farm is a beehive of activity with the barn undergoing extensive remodeling, tear-ing out, building in, and adding on to be ready for his present and future Morgans.

Another addition to Green Acres is the chestnut yearling filly Ann's High Society by Lippitt Moro Ash and out of Isobell Ann, from the Stanerigg Stable at Ann Arbor, Michigan. Little Ann is a beautiful filly, round and smooth, with a fine head and neck. She should do well in the colt classes this summer.

Mrs. Phyllis Barber of Indianapolis reports the purchase from Miss Bar-bara La Rue of Spiceland the stallion Dell's Valley King. Phyllis manages to get in a good deal of saddle work with him and is anxious to start him in the show ring.

Mrs. Rachael Centers of Portland is the new owner of Dude de Jarnett 0, a rich brown stallion by Archie 0 and out of Rythms Lovely Lady. We hear he is a Morgan from his ear to his tail and a driving horse supreme.

Mrs. Centers also tells of a new ar-rival at their farm. A bright chestnut filly by The Royal Zephyr and out of Dot S Belle. We understand she looks like her pappy to a T. Many of you may remember a picture of Zephyr in the Magazine several years ago, in parade garb, head held high, proudly stepping, a horse with the ability and breeding worthy to be called Morgan.

Mrs. Centers and her charming daughter Camille have long been in-terested in th equine family and have been Shetland fanciers for years. They

tell me that by fall their combined band of Morgans and Shetlands will number in the forties.

Another '59 foal is at the farm of Mar Hoffman near Indianapolis. I don't have the complete data on that one yet but should have by the next issue.

We hear Mr. Enos Alice of Coates-ville is giving his two fillies a thorough schooling in harness and they soon will be ready for saddle work. They are Irish Lass by Archie 0 and out of Sue Travelmore, and Emeralds Noble Lady by Emerald King and out of Rythm Swingtime Lady.

Young Sharon Stahl, 9 year old daughter of Bev and Bob Stahl of Lowell is busily readying her pony for the show season. The pony is an in-teresting cross, half Morgan and half Hackney and very much a Morgan in miniature, pert head, small ears, big eyes and the kind of Morgan action we all dream about. All this with a clever disposition makes her an ideal show or trail mount.

HURRAW! HURRAW! We have another show giving us a Morgan division here in Indiana. The Miz-pah Shrine Horse Patrol Show held in Columbia City, August 1st and 2nd is granting us 3 classes, English Plea-sure, Western Pleasure, and a Gay Ninties class. So come on you Mor-gan folk get your horses ready, lets fill those classes. Further information can be had from Mrs. Rachael Centers, R. R. 2, Portland, Indiana.

Meanwhile, let's hear about your Morgans, why don't you write me: Mrs. Beverlee Stahl, Stahlward Farms, Lowell, Indiana.

Little Ann is a beautiful filly, round and smooth, with a fine head and neck. She should do well in the colt classes this summer.

Mrs. Phyllis Barber of Indianapolis reports the purchase from Miss Bar-bara La Rue of Spiceland the stallion Dell's Valley King. Phyllis manages to get in a good deal of saddle work with him and is anxious to start him in the show ring.

Mrs. Rachael Centers of Portland is the new owner of Dude de Jarnett 0, a rich brown stallion by Archie 0 and out of Rythms Lovely Lady. We hear he is a Morgan from his ear to his tail and a driving horse supreme.

Mrs. Centers also tells of a new ar-rival at their farm. A bright chestnut filly by The Royal Zephyr and out of Dot S Belle. We understand she looks like her pappy to a T. Many of you may remember a picture of Zephyr in the Magazine several years ago, in parade garb, head held high, proudly stepping, a horse with the ability and breeding worthy to be called Morgan.

Mrs. Centers and her charming daughter Camille have long been in-terested in th equine family and have been Shetland fanciers for years. They

tell me that by fall their combined band of Morgans and Shetlands will number in the forties.

Another '59 foal is at the farm of Mar Hoffman near Indianapolis. I don't have the complete data on that one yet but should have by the next issue.

We hear Mr. Enos Alice of Coates-ville is giving his two fillies a thorough schooling in harness and they soon will be ready for saddle work. They are Irish Lass by Archie 0 and out of Sue Travelmore, and Emeralds Noble Lady by Emerald King and out of Rythm Swingtime Lady.

Young Sharon Stahl, 9 year old daughter of Bev and Bob Stahl of Lowell is busily readying her pony for the show season. The pony is an in-teresting cross, half Morgan and half Hackney and very much a Morgan in miniature, pert head, small ears, big eyes and the kind of Morgan action we all dream about. All this with a clever disposition makes her an ideal show or trail mount.

HURRAW! HURRAW! We have another show giving us a Morgan division here in Indiana. The Miz-pah Shrine Horse Patrol Show held in Columbia City, August 1st and 2nd is granting us 3 classes, English Plea-sure, Western Pleasure, and a Gay Ninties class. So come on you Mor-gan folk get your horses ready, lets fill those classes. Further information can be had from Mrs. Rachael Centers, R. R. 2, Portland, Indiana.

Meanwhile, let's hear about your Morgans, why don't you write me: Mrs. Beverlee Stahl, Stahlward Farms, Lowell, Indiana.

Our Morgan owners in the Willmar area deserve a big thank-you for a most enjoyable trail ride. Saturday night a few of us had dinner with the Bonhams at a local steak house. Sun-day morning the trailers started ar-riving at the Bonnie-Lee Farm and it wasn't long before things were in full swing. The guests were served coffee and fresh rolls before starting the ride around Lake Wagona. After a two-hour ride the guests were served a delicious smorgasbord prepared by Dick and Mona. About forty or more riders made the ride and almost thirty more were on hand for the noon meal. If the weatherman had only cooperated with light winds the day would have been perfect. (Winds between 30-40 miles an hour hampered visiting.)

It was a thrill for me to see about thirty uniform, top condition Morgans. I can remember our earlier rides when we would have eight-ten Morgans on a ride. At that time Al Dorow was about the only one who could boast of having more at home. Now most of the owners can say they have young and old stock at home. I got a kick out of seeing some of the younger set riding. George and Stan have been waiting a long time for their offspring to be old enough to go on a trail ride with Dad. John and Katie Budd, Christina and Stephen Sahlstrom, Har-vey Boyum's young daughter, Don Streich's son and daughter and several others in the eight to twelve age bracket. Then we had Corky and Neide Cater, Kathleen and Maureen Quigley, John and Wayne Honer and Pauline Henning. Little four-year-old Ann Bonham was having an argument with her mother about who was going to ride high-stepping Sunflower Flicka on Sunday. Ann settled for her pony and had a big time riding. We also have younger riders, Devan Naas, Julie and Gary Hitz. They boast of being four, three and two years old! There was a very definite "esprit de corps" at the outing.

Corky Cater found himself shoulder-ing the responsibility of clearing-up distemper in their barn. The Caters had just taken off for a few weeks of rest in Florida, when Corky put in

a call to the vet to come out and check one of the horses. The horses and ponies are all well again, and I must say that Sunflower Tom looked good.

The Honers lost a yearling stud this spring during an electrical storm. He was out of their mare Cinna by Chief Justin. It is a shame to have to lose promising young stock. The Honers are building a show ring complete with lighting so we may soon be able to have a show under lights.

Kathleen and Maureen Quigley are making plans to return to the Triangle T Ranch in Sheridan, Wyoming for instruction in English equitation. Last year they spent some time with Dean and Alida Sage learning the know-how of Western riding. Santa gave the girls riding habits for Christmas so we should have a few more Morgans in English three-gaited classes. A few more members are becoming interested in showing their Morgans under Eng-lish tack. I understand Mike has purchased an English saddle and will give it a go.

The St. Cloud chapter held a meet-ing at the Jim Quigley home on Feb-ruary 20. The following members attended the meeting in addition to the host family and Dave and Mari-anne Naas: The Leonard Paulsons, Harvey Boyums, Francis Knipplings, Richard Bonhams, Harry Caters, W. Honers, and Pauline Henning, George Budd, Stan Sahlstrom, Herman Kra-mer. Kathleen Quigley was elected secretary for the chapter. Plans were discussed for a trail ride at Princeton sometime this summer or early fall. A chapter sponsored horse show would be held if a sufficient number were interested. A tentative date for the North-Central Morgan Horse Show has been set for late September or early October. I will have more in-formation on that later.

The Twin Cities chapter met May 1 at Art Peterson's ranch. The fol-lowing members attended the meet-ing: Dave and Marianne Naas, Mari-lyn and Clif Hitz, Robert Wood, Al-lone Potter, Ed Cahill, Mr. and Mrs. Wesley Brown, Mrs. Art Hodgin, Louise Miner and Van Deventer. Al-lone Potter was elected secretary for the group. A comunication had been received from the Mid-American Club in which they suggested a joint horse show of the two associations. The problem is to find a location that will be about midway for the members of the two groups. No definite action was taken at this meeting. The Fargo-

Moorhead chapter members were din-ner guests of the Duginskis at a Jan-uary meeting in their home. The evening was spent discussing Morgans.

I received a letter from George Bur-gess and the horse show program for the First Annual All Morgan Horse Show to be held July 18-19 at Estes Park, Colorado. It should be a terrific show, and I wish the Circle J Morgan Horse Association a lot of luck with their first show.

Phil Aigner is a busy man these days getting his farming operations in order. With 880 acres to work it takes a lot of planning. The Aigners are very active in 4-H work, and have added horsemanship to the program this year. Wayne and Paul have two fine Morgans to work with in this project. They expect a foal about the middle of June from their mare Flax 09316. Nani, a yearling filly, shows great promise. She is out of Teal Eye 09123 by Chingadero 11091.

Now for a few new arrivals and changes of ownership. Stan Sahlstrom has purchased the young stud HyLee's Glory Be 12236 by Torchfire out of Lurgan from the Clif Hitzes. Art Peterson sold his stallion Redberry to a party in St. Louis, Missouri, plus two of his young stock to a party in Foxlake, Wisconsin. Richard Newman has sold his stallion Illawana Sambo 10646 to Wesley Brown. Harry Cater bought a black filly from Al Dorow. Al Dorow bought her from Ab Cross, Dubis, Wyoming, last fall. Her regis-tration name is Ann of Halliday Hill. Dennis Wilson bought back his stal-lion Regy from Dr. Knippling. Robert Wood and Cliff Hitz took Starlet down to the Behlings to have her bred back to Torchfire. They visited with the Greenwalts and came back with Miss Illinois for the Wood's family. Bob has been riding and driving her and should have her ready for the show ring this year or next. He has decided that he and his young son are going to take part in horse shows rather than be just spectators. That is the kind of spirit and interest that keeps our group growing and our entries in shows on the increase. The Bonhams have a young stud out of their mare Sun-flower Countess by Hillaway Jarmen. We stopped in Alexandria to visit with Tom and Mrs. Dunne. Tom has been using his stallion Hillaway Jar-men on a few mares this season. He also puts him through his paces every day — riding and driving him. We got a look at him in his box stall and

he is in top shape. Just keep your eye on that fellow, he is only a coming four-year-old. We are waiting for the first foals by Royal Aire. Clif has used him on a few mares this spring. He is continuing to develop and is being worked every day. I had a pleas-ant surprise waiting for me the Mon-day after the trail ride. I decided to check on my mare Lil's June, and there in the pasture with her was (to me) the perfect black filly. They are both doing well in spite of the wet weather we have been having the last few days.

A few horse shows have been held in this area, and Kitty Merrill has been winning with her mare Sina K. The Merrills are busy with hammer and saw building a home, barn, training ring and show ring. I guess the Mor-gan people will have plenty of places in which to hold horse shows. I hope you a have a successful season with your Morgans. I understand George Budd's Morgans will be more or less idle this summer. Dr. Budd will be joining educators from the East for a three months stay in Europe to study the educational systems on the conti-nent.

Justin Morgan Assn. By RHEDA KANE

The Michiganders were very much in evidence at the Morgan Horse Judg-ing Seminar and Field Day held at Sugar Rim Farm in Mt. Sterling, Ohio. Among the Michigan enthus-iasts were the Jim Laus, the Ray La-Bountys, the Walter Carrolls, the Gerald Tafts, Jim Jones, Thor Niel-sen, John Williams, Raz LaRose and Ed Mansfield.

The crowd, consisting of recognized judges, breeders, exhibitors and just plain horse loving spectators, all par-ticipated in the judging of the very fine Morgans offered.

Don Decker, Mgr.-Trainer of Mr. Rickard's Wenloch Farm in Ann Ar-bor, sent in a very welcomed report on their activities so far this spring. In Don's own words, "Of course the most exciting event of spring is the coming of the foals. We have four fillies and three horse colts, all by Mr. Showman. (Lippitt Mandate, Lippitt Sally Moro). The fillies being out of Ruthven's Carol Ann, Springbrook Linda, Tonette and L. U. Vanity. The stud colts are out of Chikeeta, Spring-brook Gypsy and May Cotton. These are Mr. Showman's first get in this

area since he came to Wenloch Farm a year and a half ago. They all look promising, with much refinement yet tall and good boned.

Mr. Showman has been in training for eight months and should definite-ly be a contender in the show ring and a credit to the Morgan breed as well as Wenloch Farm. Also in training and progressing nicely are Tamara of Wenloch, Fair Lady of Wenloch and Gay Maid of Wenloch:

I am very grateful to Don for send-ing us this news.

Jim Jones of Grand Blanc reports the arrival of a filly by Chester De-Jarnette out of Springbrook Anne.

The Walter Kanes have reluctantly sold Wal-Thor to Mr. Barnard De Martini of Minocqua, Wis. John Wil-liams, trainer for Woods and Water Farms had Wal-Thor in show shape ready to show in all the Western classes in the show circuit this season so it was with great deliberation we let him go at this time. Wal-Thor's most coveted trophy and ribbon was won at the National Morgan Horse Show in 1957, naming him Grand Champion Pleasure Horse of the Show.

Mr. De Martini was in need of two Morgan pleasure horses, one for him-self and one for his wife. Walter Car-roll of Green Hills Farm offered him Royalton Justin Darling. After one pleasurable ride Mrs. DeMartini fell in love with the little bay and de-cided he was to be her horse.

So John Williams started out with Wal-Thor and Justin Darling this morning on the 600 mile trip to Min-ocqua, Wis.. which is near Ironwood. The horses will be rested tonight at L. D. Crusoe's Ranch in Cheyboygan. John will then spend a day with the DeMartinis helping them to get the Morgans settled in their new home.

Barnard DeMartini and his wife have five handsome children, four boys and a girl, who will also enjoy riding their parents Morgans.

Springbrook Rosemary and her 1959 stud colt by Jon-Bar-K, owned by Walter Kane has been sold to Char-lene Harris of Thorndale, Ont., Can-ada. Charlene is a young lady who wants very much to be a veterinarian and figured owning and breeding Morgan horses would help. Spring-brook Rosemary has been bred to Kane's Showboy.

Also sold is Kane's Sandy Kay, a yearling stud colt by Wal-Thor out of Miss Kay to Dr. Ludwig of Grand Rapids.

By BARBARA BELL

Spring has again come to the Paci-fic Northwest and with it a full sched-ule of Morgan events. New foals can be seen playing in most pastures while their proud owners are preparing their saddle-horses for shows or week-end pleasure rides.

The Leo Beckleys of Mount Vernon report they have recently purchased three mares: Proba by Brown Knox out of the Querido mare Addy B from Pat Dennisno of Halsey, Oregon; Lady Margaret by Glenn Pomulus out of Golden Princess from George Nel-son of Wenatchee; and Easterglo by Nemaha Herod and out of Dawnglo from George Nickolson also of Wen-atchee. They have sold the two year old filly Rita Rockwood and yearling Lupi Felipe to Gordon Turney of Ponoka, Alberta. The Beckleys have had two of an expected crop of five foals from their stallion Sonfield, a filly out of Ginger Vermont and a colt out of Golden Princess.

Hugh Montgomery, Bellingham, Washington, also has a Sonfield filly out of Sharon Vermont.

Shawalla Morgan Horse Ranch has nine foals as of now. Two of them are by Rockfield and prove that he will be a great sire as well as a champion in the show ring.

The following are the results of the recent shows. This year the classes have been bigger and filled with better horses than ever before.

Now coming soon are the Erie County Fair at Hamburg and the State Fair at Syracuse. Don't forget these big New York shows. And also try to attend the innumerable smaller

shows with Morgan classes springing up everywhere. For it is from these small beginnings that greater shows grow. Do help if you can. This is important.

Mr. and Mrs. Albert Veronesi of New Berlin have purchased the mare Lady Lila from Tas-Tee Farms. Lila is by Fillmore out of Wanda. She is in foal to Agazziz, expecting her colt in August. Her new owners say she is quite a girl, with a wonderful dis-position.

Mary Arnold's luck is not so good this time. Her mare, One Grand, foaled a stud colt in May and died on the operating table four days later from a strangled hernia. One Grand was leased to friends at Jamesville at-the time. The operation was being done at Ithaca.

We welcome into our membership Miss Betty L. Bale of Medina, N. Y. Please join us, all you who are inter-ested. We have no application' blanks. Just send $5.00 or $3.00 as the case may be, for family or single member-ship, to P. A. Hess, Treas., Akron, N. Y. Your membership card will come to you immediately.

The Mid-Atlantic Show is scheduled a little earlier this year, August 7-8. This helps those of us who would like to show both here and at Hamburg the third week in August.

We'll see you all at the National.

Spring Children's Horse Show

By MARJORIE E. CUTLER

The third annual Spring Children's Horse Show was held May 24th at Heartwellville Lodge, Readsboro, Vt. Among the 51 horses entered in the show were six registered Morgans and as usual, they gave a good account of themselves. The Knapps of Bald Mt. Morgan Horse Farm brought their stallion, Easter Twilight, which Alan showed only in the 4-H Fitting and Showmanship class. Later in the day, Alan and Easter Twilight gave an ex-hibiton in the ring while the show an-nouncer, Joe Barber of Hoosick Falls, N. Y., gave an interesting and inform-ative narration in which he traced the history of the Morgan horse and the part it has played in the development of some of the various breeds.

The results follow: (Continued on Page 28)

Dear Lyman and Ruth, I would like to thank you for a wonderful job and I feel

this is the best way to do it. To all the readers I would like to ex-plain. Lyman and Ruth are training horses and I mean doing a real good job. I sent my four year old to them for two months and am pleased as can be. He rides and drives beautifully. Ruth rode "the Squire" at a show held in Weston, Mass. on May 23. All this in two months is hard for me to believe but there it is, the picture tells the story.

Sincerely, Stuart Wickson

Dear Lyman and Ruth, Bruce and I want to thank you both for your

very patient work on "Minnie" done so well that she was selected for a ribbon in her first show—the proof is in the pudding. So, again we want to thank you for the good job you did with "Minnie." She sure is a good little driving horse for two years old. When she is old enough we are sending her up for saddle training at Orcland Farms.

It was nice to see several 4-H groups among the crowd at the seminar, and when they were in the ring with their score cards, they really meant business. I think everyone who has never tried it before would agree that judging a class is not an easy job, and I also think that everyone came away with a better understanding of the prob-lems of both the exhibitor and the judge, as well as a clearer idea of what to look for in a Morgan. There were at least 14 states represented at the Seminar, and to everyone who came, we thank you and we hope you enjoyed your visit.

Mid-Atlantic (Continued from Page 12)

Peggy Lou and Mrs. Dalrymple was seventh in the stake with Truly Fair. At Syracuse, N. Y., Mr. Gordon Voor-his' Sealect of Windcrest won Model, Under 15 hands, Open and Morgan Stake, with Nobles' Dennisfield second each time. Madalin, also owned by Mr. Voorhis won the Over and placed third in the Stake. Bachmans' Dy-berry Royalton was third in Model and sixth in the Stake; Vonas' Dona Etta

Vona placed fourth in Model and fourth in the Over class. Bachmans' Plain Jane and My Copper Penny both placed in Western events as well.

Complete results from the Allen-town, Pa., Horse Show are listed be-low. A word must be said about the excellent job the Morgans did in all the open classes. The Morgan classes themselves were very good but what really impressed the local spectators and other exhibitors was the way in which ribbon winners from these Mor-gan classes went on to compete against all other breeds and types. Morgans were entered in almost half of the open classes.

It was nice to see several 4-H groups among the crowd at the seminar, and when they were in the ring with their score cards, they really meant business. I think everyone who has never tried it before would agree that judging a class is not an easy job, and I also think that everyone came away with a better understanding of the prob-lems of both the exhibitor and the judge, as well as a clearer idea of what to look for in a Morgan. There were at least 14 states represented at the Seminar, and to everyone who came, we thank you and we hope you enjoyed your visit.

Mid-Atlantic (Continued from Page 12)

Peggy Lou and Mrs. Dalrymple was seventh in the stake with Truly Fair. At Syracuse, N. Y., Mr. Gordon Voor-his' Sealect of Windcrest won Model, Under 15 hands, Open and Morgan Stake, with Nobles' Dennisfield second each time. Madalin, also owned by Mr. Voorhis won the Over and placed third in the Stake. Bachmans' Dy-berry Royalton was third in Model and sixth in the Stake; Vonas' Dona Etta

Vona placed fourth in Model and fourth in the Over class. Bachmans' Plain Jane and My Copper Penny both placed in Western events as well.

Complete results from the Allen-town, Pa., Horse Show are listed be-low. A word must be said about the excellent job the Morgans did in all the open classes. The Morgan classes themselves were very good but what really impressed the local spectators and other exhibitors was the way in which ribbon winners from these Mor-gan classes went on to compete against all other breeds and types. Morgans were entered in almost half of the open classes. They competed in hunter and jumper, western, pair, equitation, com-mand, pleasure, driving, and child rens classes - and won ribbons in most of them!

less to say, they made the show. I say this because much of the viewing public had never seen a foal go to nursing before, and this fact coupled with the fact that they were two fine representatives of the breed, proved as we later found out, to be quite an ad for Morgans. Jim Anderson helped to handle the horses, while John Mac-Farlane and Professor Tirrell discussed the merits of Morgans in general. Dur-ing the show, we offered to the view-ing public, one free copy of the Mor-gan Magazine to any one who wrote in requesting one. Many people have asked me what the response was to this offer, and to date we have had over 600 requests. It is our hope, of course, that we will pick up some new subscriptions as well. Mr. MacFar-lane has a fifteen minute television show which is part of the Rex Trailer Show on Saturday mornings. He is sponsored by the Massachusetts S.P. C.A. As a result of this show, Mr. MacFarlane will be at our National Morgan Show to make a film tape to put on television. At this time, I would like to thank Mr. MacFarlane and Orcland Farms for the interest and wonderful publicity Morgans received as a result of this television appear-ance.

When Lyman and Ruth Orcutt de-cided to get out of the cattle business and confine their efforts just to horses, as well as to develop a training stable, little did they realize just how busy they were going to be. They have five new horses at their training stable, and it appears that there will be more to come. The horses in training are as follows: Anneighs Boblight (Dyberry Bob-Morninglight) owned by Chester Belchor, Strafford Springs, Conn., Bar T Duchess (Orcland Leader-Orcland Victoria) owned by Mary Monica Joyce of Wild Shamrock Farm in South Byfield, Mass., Townshend Vigilad (Orcland Vigildon-Townshend Gladys) owned by the Townshend Morgan-Holstein Farm in Bolton, Mass., Waseeka's Special Edition (Ulendon-Varga Girl) owned by Wal-do Robinson of Herman, Maine, and Vigiltor (Orcland Vigildon—Torsha) owned by Mrs. Harold M. Wilson of Long Hill Farm of Bolton, Mass.

Ruth and Lyman also tell me that Mr. William Bancroft of Hamilton, Mass, has sold Quaker Cheralect to Mrs. Albert Friedman of Schenectady, New York. And, the Donald Mac-Mulkins have bought two mares from

Tas-Tee Morgan Farm for their daughter Sue to show. They are May-time Melody (Congo-Polly Forest) and Bonny Ellen (Bonfire - Ruby Ellen).

VERMONT

Since the write-up in this column in the April issue of the magazine with regard to the sale of the UVM Morgan Horse Farm and its Morgan herd, we understand that the Board of Trustees, the President and the Dean of the Col-lege of Agriculture at the University of Vermont have all received hundreds of letters protesting the said liquida-tion. I understand via the grape vine that a good nucleus of their Morgans will continue to be maintained by the University, as a result. As for the Farm itself, and after listening to the monetary problems confronting both the University and the state itself, con-sidering too, the distance of the Mor-gan Farm from the University campus, and the impracticality of transporting students to this farm for class work. it might be best to transfer the Mor-gans to a new farm located closer to the University campus. Consequently, there is little question that the Morgan Farm itself is to be sold, but we are fairly confident that a good nucleus of the Morgans will continue to be maintained by the Unversity on their new farm if and when it is purchased. I think I can speak for Morgan en-thusiasts, and the interested parties at the University of Vermont, in thank-ing those people who came to the sup-port of this institution. It goes with-out saying, that any well rounded Agricultural School should have more than just dairy cattle available for student use as well as research. You folks have helped to make this fact become a reality.

The University of Vermont held their second annual 4-H Light Horse Field Day and Workshop on Saturday, May 9th at the U.V.M. Morgan Horse Farm. It was a great success. The day was perfect and the youngsters in attendance were all very enthusias-tic. UVM Cantor was used for the demonstrations. The program con-sisted of a Parade of University Stal-lions, a Fitting and Showmanship Demonstration, Bandaging Legs and Tails, Breaking the Young Horse to Drive, Breaking the 3-year old to Sad-dle, all of which was followed by a question and answer period. There were 12 or 13 4-H Clubs in attendance,

represented by a grand total of some 200 children and parents.

A very nice letter from our old friend Mary Ricker of Montpelier, Vermont reports that at Christmas time, her daughter Terry sold her nice Morgan mare Lucy Franklin to Jean Grant of Townsend, Mass. Jean is a new Morgan owner, and this spring the mare presented her with a lovely filly foal sired by Rob Roy.

Terry now owns the nice gelding Windcrest Debonaire which she is enjoying riding very much.

The Green Mountain Stock Farm reports their foal crop so far this sea-son. They are a filly out of Lippitt Georgia and a stud foal out of Lip-pitt Spearmint. Both are by Lippitt Ethan Don.

Foals are arriving at Bald Mt. Farm quite regularly these days. June Mor-gan has a beautiful chestnut stud this year with a peculiar white marking on his face. This stud foal is a full brother to the filly that topped the Green Meads weanling sale last fall. The sire, of course, is Easter Twilight. Helen's Glory has a nice chestnut stud with a white blaze, a real flashy little fellow, also by Easter Twilight. Tinkerbell had to be a conformist and followed through with a black stud foal by the same. He is a full brother to two fillies the Knapps have kept from this mating.

Mignon, a dark brown mare owned by Lorraine Kelton of Peru, and stabled at Bald Mountain Farm, has had a brown stud foal by Easter Twi-light. This mating combines two very old bloodlines as Mignon is by Lippitt Moro Last, and his dam is Mademoi-sele, whose dam is very heavily Ethan Allen.

As a result, this has been a "boy" year at Bald Mountain Farm with only one filly, that of Bald Mt. Princess Ann, to date. However, Mr. C. B. Over-ton of Manchester is more than pleased with his filly by Easter Twilight and out of Bald Mountain Maple Sugar. Mr. Overton purchased Sugar as a two year old and trained her himself. He does not care for showing, but has spent many hours of enjoyable trail riding with Sugar. This is Sugar's first foal, and she will be named appropriately enough, Spice. Mr. Overton says he now has Sugar and Spice and both are nice.

CONNECTICUT The Connecticut Morgan Horse

Association meeting was held on Sun-day, May 3rd, at the beautifully re-stored colonial home and farm of Mr. and Mrs. Seth P. Holcombe in Sims-bury, Conn. Sixteen members and friends were present for the meeting on this glorious spring day.

They commenced their meeting with an informal discussion on Morgan do-ings while in the process of eating lunch and delicious coffee and donuts served by Lucy and Seth.

After their picnic lunch, the business meeting was conducted indoors. Mr. William P. Clark, the President, pre-sided. The Association voted to supply a trophy and ribbons to the Pleasure Class, 18 years and over, at the Na-tional Morgan Horse Show. They al-so plan to donate to the United States Equestrian Team as well as advertise in the program of the very popular Chidren's Services Horse Show in Farmington.

The feature speaker at the meeting was Dr. Robert K. Milkey, D.V.M. of Granby. He presented a very interest-ing talk on common ailments of horses going into some detail on what the horse owner can do if faced with a sick animal, and why the veterinarian performs certain procedures. A tragic situation that Dr. Milkey witnessed this year, was that of starving horses that were in the hands of persons not knowing the proper methods of feed-ing and caring for them. He stressed the fact that these were well meaning individuals, but they should be reached and shown what should be done for their horses to keep them in good con-dition. Dr. Milkey suggested that every horse would benefit by a spring physi-cal examination at the time that they are to receive their two encephilitis in-jections. As worms are prevalent in the east, he recommends an annual worming which he says is best done in the fall.

Another interesting subject brought up at the meeting was navicular dis-ease. This is caused by a concussion and is diagnosed by X-ray. Many horsemen attempt to get a veterinarian to perform a neurectomy on the in-jured fore-leg to enable the horse to be usable. Dr. Milkey warned against

this procelure especially if the horse is to be jumped, as the complete lack of feeling in the horse's leg can make riding hazardous.

When Dr. Milkey concluded his talk, he took the group outdoors and demonstrated the right way to take a pulse on Lucy and Seth's well behaved 4 year old gelding Town-Ayr Echo. Echo immediately recognized the veterinarian, but enjoyed the limelight.

MAINE The Maine Morgan Horse Club re-

cently held its spring meeting at the Wooster House in Hallowell. There was a large turn out as everyone was anxious to see the movies of the 1958 National.

While on her way to the business meeting, Janet McGovern, our Maine correspondent, had the opportunity of stopping at Ernest Assleyn's Wind-swept Acres to see Hugh Smith's Bobby. Byron Turner very kindly took the horse out for her to see. If you thought Bobby was an eyeful last year, says Janet, you should see him now. He has matured tremendously. He has responded well to training and certainly should be a strong contender at the National.

Many of the Maine Morgan enthus-iasts were saddened to hear of Hugh Smith's recent loss. As many already know, their grand old mare, Karina, died while foaling. It was a double tragedy in that the foal was lost also. Hugh was greatly upset, and he well might be. He will have to go a long way to find another such mare. We hope that Bobby will carry on the family tradition and in some small measure make up for the great loss they have suffered.

Hazel Crossley of Greene reports that her pleasure mare has been bred to Corisor of Upwey and is expected to foal sometime in July. She is very thrilled and is eagerly awaiting the arrival of the foal.

Jim Douglass of East Dixfield re-ports that the University of Connecti-cut has sent one of their top brood mares to be bred to Middlebury Ace. It is evident that Ace must be highly regarded by them as their only other mare sent out went to Windcrest Donfield, Grand Champion Stallion at the 1958 National.

Jean Cox, of Brewer, Maine, has just purchased a stallion foal, chestnut with a white strip, a full brother to Billy Twilight, from Margaret Rice of Meredith, N. H. Jean is a new mem-

ber of the Maine Morgan Horse Club. And Martha Van Buskirk writes that their mare, Petersham Fitsie had a bright chestnut stud foal by Lippitt Mandate. She states that Corisor has had a busy spring with some nice registered mares calling upon him.

In closing the column for this month I should like to say that the news was disappointingly low this month. I will be employed as head of a Riding Department in a private summer camp this summer, and although I will be at the National, my duties at the camp will prevent me from seek-ing out news on my own. I am hoping that I can count on you folks to keep me supplied with news and pictures for the August and September issues as I won't be able to solicit any on my own. Please do not let me down.

Central States (Continued from Page 10)

We had eight well filled classes, attractive ribbons down to the 6th place and each exhibitor was judged individually in each class, the Judge, Mrs. Roxy Carey, of Kingston, Illinois, explaining mistakes made before the ribbons were awarded. The atmos-phere and rules of a large show was created thus giving some of our in-experienced members and friends a real chance to become acquainted with the Show Ring. It is this type of edu-cational programs put on, that has made our club the excellent organiza-tion it is and we hope to continue with many more such programs in the future. It was, indeed, gratifying to see the marvelous improvement in the riding of some of our Juniors and to see their self assurance develop. I'm sure there will develop some fine horse-men and women for the future from the club's efforts.

Due to the fact that I spent most of my time in the barn helping young-sters with their equipment, etc., I was unable to view all the Play Day events in their entirety. Our member, Mrs. Dorothy Jasper, of Naperville, Illinois has kindly offered to loan me a copy of a letter written to her friend, Doris Laidlaw, of Monarch Stock Farms, Antwerp, N.

30 The MORGAN HORSE

a filly foal by Easter Twilight and out of Honor Girl of Earlham. This mare has shown tremendous improvement over last year.

CONNECTICUT The Connecticut Morgan Horse

Association meeting was held on Sun-day, May 3rd, at the beautifully re-stored colonial home and farm of Mr. and Mrs. Seth P. Holcombe in Sims-bury, Conn. Sixteen members and friends were present for the meeting on this glorious spring day.

They commenced their meeting with an informal discussion on Morgan do-ings while in the process of eating lunch and delicious coffee and donuts served by Lucy and Seth.

After their picnic lunch, the business meeting was conducted indoors. Mr. William P. Clark, the President, pre-sided. The Association voted to supply a trophy and ribbons to the Pleasure Class, 18 years and over, at the Na-tional Morgan Horse Show. They al-so plan to donate to the United States Equestrian Team as well as advertise in the program of the very popular Chidren's Services Horse Show in Farmington.

The feature speaker at the meeting was Dr. Robert K. Milkey, D.V.M. of Granby. He presented a very interest-ing talk on common ailments of horses going into some detail on what the horse owner can do if faced with a sick animal, and why the veterinarian performs certain procedures. A tragic situation that Dr. Milkey witnessed this year, was that of starving horses that were in the hands of persons not knowing the proper methods of feed-ing and caring for them. He stressed the fact that these were well meaning individuals, but they should be reached and shown what should be done for their horses to keep them in good con-dition. Dr. Milkey suggested that every horse would benefit by a spring physi-cal examination at the time that they are to receive their two encephilitis in-jections. As worms are prevalent in the east, he recommends an annual worming which he says is best done in the fall.

Another interesting subject brought up at the meeting was navicular dis-ease. This is caused by a concussion and is diagnosed by X-ray. Many horsemen attempt to get a veterinarian to perform a neurectomy on the in-jured fore-leg to enable the horse to be usable. Dr. Milkey warned against

this procelure especially if the horse is to be jumped, as the complete lack of feeling in the horse's leg can make riding hazardous.

When Dr. Milkey concluded his talk, he took the group outdoors and demonstrated the right way to take a pulse on Lucy and Seth's well behaved 4 year old gelding Town-Ayr Echo. Echo immediately recognized the veterinarian, but enjoyed the limelight.

MAINE The Maine Morgan Horse Club re-

cently held its spring meeting at the Wooster House in Hallowell. There was a large turn out as everyone was anxious to see the movies of the 1958 National.

While on her way to the business meeting, Janet McGovern, our Maine correspondent, had the opportunity of stopping at Ernest Assleyn's Wind-swept Acres to see Hugh Smith's Bobby. Byron Turner very kindly took the horse out for her to see. If you thought Bobby was an eyeful last year, says Janet, you should see him now. He has matured tremendously. He has responded well to training and certainly should be a strong contender at the National.

Many of the Maine Morgan enthus-iasts were saddened to hear of Hugh Smith's recent loss. As many already know, their grand old mare, Karina, died while foaling. It was a double tragedy in that the foal was lost also. Hugh was greatly upset, and he well might be. He will have to go a long way to find another such mare. We hope that Bobby will carry on the family tradition and in some small measure make up for the great loss they have suffered.

Hazel Crossley of Greene reports that her pleasure mare has been bred to Corisor of Upwey and is expected to foal sometime in July. She is very thrilled and is eagerly awaiting the arrival of the foal.

Jim Douglass of East Dixfield re-ports that the University of Connecti-cut has sent one of their top brood mares to be bred to Middlebury Ace. It is evident that Ace must be highly regarded by them as their only other mare sent out went to Windcrest Donfield, Grand Champion Stallion at the 1958 National.

Jean Cox, of Brewer, Maine, has just purchased a stallion foal, chestnut with a white strip, a full brother to Billy Twilight, from Margaret Rice of Meredith, N. H. Jean is a new mem-

ber of the Maine Morgan Horse Club. And Martha Van Buskirk writes that their mare, Petersham Fitsie had a bright chestnut stud foal by Lippitt Mandate. She states that Corisor has had a busy spring with some nice registered mares calling upon him.

In closing the column for this month I should like to say that the news was disappointingly low this month. I will be employed as head of a Riding Department in a private summer camp this summer, and although I will be at the National, my duties at the camp will prevent me from seek-ing out news on my own. I am hoping that I can count on you folks to keep me supplied with news and pictures for the August and September issues as I won't be able to solicit any on my own. Please do not let me down.

Central States (Continued from Page 10)

We had eight well filled classes, attractive ribbons down to the 6th place and each exhibitor was judged individually in each class, the Judge, Mrs. Roxy Carey, of Kingston, Illinois, explaining mistakes made before the ribbons were awarded. The atmos-phere and rules of a large show was created thus giving some of our in-experienced members and friends a real chance to become acquainted with the Show Ring. It is this type of edu-cational programs put on, that has made our club the excellent organiza-tion it is and we hope to continue with many more such programs in the future. It was, indeed, gratifying to see the marvelous improvement in the riding of some of our Juniors and to see their self assurance develop. I'm sure there will develop some fine horse-men and women for the future from the club's efforts.

Due to the fact that I spent most of my time in the barn helping young-sters with their equipment, etc., I was unable to view all the Play Day events in their entirety. Our member, Mrs. Dorothy Jasper, of Naperville, Illinois has kindly offered to loan me a copy of a letter written to her friend, Doris Laidlaw, of Monarch Stock Farms, Antwerp, N. Y., in which she covered the Play Day events in detail. This letter which follows, will be enjoyed by our readers, I'm sure. "Dear Doris,

"You haven't heard from me for a long time, and a large part of the rea-son for the extended silence is this in-

30 The MORGAN HORSE

fernal live-wire Morgan Horse Club out here. Of all the busy, energetic, interested people I ever met, these are the worst. But you know, it has been an education. Not just because of my extreme newness to the Morgan breed, but because they have out here in the Mid-West a refreshing frankness, and an open, friendly way of doing things that is like a fresh breeze across the salt flats, and is invigorating.

"We missed you at the Ohio Judg-ing School last week, and may I add that you missed a humdinger of a day. Everyone got in his two cents worth, including one small girl who an-nounced her placings in the stallions over four class, and then added that, in defense of her decision, it was made on the basis of which stallion she would want for a husband if she were a mare. Mr. Davis noted that her re-mark would probably stick in every-one's mind long after the horses were forgotten, and it was a pretty good reason at that. For myself, I fell in love with old Nugget, and with his superb son, Big Bill B, who is a horse and a half, if ever I saw one. The entire day went so well that it was easy to asume that it happened with-out much work, but the very smooth-ness with which it operated, was a rousing tribute to the Ohio people who certainly did some careful planning and diligent work to make our day so rewarding and the long drive worth the effort.

"The Central States Morgan Club was well represented, bringing 15 members, half of them juniors, on the 800 mile trek through some of the vil-lages and hamlets of Ohio, such as Hardscrabble (Pop. 10), Pole Cat Cor-ners, and on down the road a piece (as they say in Vermont), past the Gravel Pit Road and on into Mt. Sterling. The group in my car, Kathy Yackley, John Sproul, Janet Sulko and Elaine Oldham, plus my son, Mark and our Siamese kitten, Scooter, spent the night with my sister in Dayton, and the next day her husband took us to Wright-Patterson Air Base. He is civilian engineer on a new supersonic plane, and he showed us a display of planes, totaling over 500,000 horse-power on one small field. So we really saw a lot of horses that weekend! One group stopped in an Amish village, and I know when we get together for our next meeting there will be many tales to hear.

"What I really want to tell you about

is our last meeting, which was the An-nual Play Day. It was my first as well as Bob Glenn, who was Ringmaster. Some members brought guests to ride in the events, but of the 25 horses present, 11 were Morgans. I had to leave my Morgans home because of limitations on transportation. Presi-dent Ron Hayward trucked his troop down from Elgin, and was to have stopped off for my four but some-where on the road his truck boiled over (and I understand that Ron sim-mered some himself) so I had to settle for two non-Morgan entries and a quick trip in a two-horse trailer. Two of my students, John Sproul and Kathy Yackley rode for the Brucewood Farm Stables here in Naperville, which I manage, and were in the ribbons in in every class they entered, which pleased me, and impressed their folks so much that each one has been promised a horse of his own. Those two will not soon forget the 1959 Play Day.

"I'll give you a quick run down on how the club members placed. The gang from Elgin did themselves proud. Presidential lady Pat Hayward rode Cherokee Lady to a first premium in English Pleasure and Ron took her to a third in the Western Pleasure class. They also took a fourth in pole bend-ing with their non-Morgan, Early Bird, and three sixth placings. Also exhibited was their 16 year old regis-tered Hackney mare, Lolly, who dem-onstrated some of her tricks, proving that an old horse can do new stunts. Pat Hayward delighted us all with a display of her talents on the side sad-dle, including some low hurdles. She has a remarkable seat, and looked so ladylike that she got quite an ovation, but we all felt better when she was back in her familiar western gear. Harry Sweet showed his young Mor-gan stallion, Rhythm's Bimbo to ad-vantage, too, coping first spot in the clover leaf, the red in Western Pleas-ure, and one game, and a fifth in the obstacle course. This was the first show for Bimbo, and he was a true gentleman, giving the kind of smooth performance that horsemen recognize as the product of long hours of work. We all share Harry's pride of accom-plishment.

"One of the young Morgans, a son of Cavendish, the gelding Caven-Glo High Capri, owned by Nancy Vogt, of Elgin, provided the laugh of the day during the obstacle course. He

had snorted some at the canvas before crossing and gone dutifully over the logs, but he just never figured on those tires lying across the trail, and clearly wanted an explanation. Nancy urged him quietly and finally he screwed up his courage and approached until his forefeet nearly touched the tires. His nose was stretched clear to his toes, and the rest of him was sitting practi-cally on his hocks. From there, with-out any warning, he leaped straight into the air, easily two feet, and came straight down, landing immediately on the other side of the tires. He went like a big hop toad, and it brought the house down. You had to admire him for his good Morgan courage and will-ingness, and plain horse sense. Nancy didn't place in that class, but she did team with Harry Sweet for a second in one game, a fourth in bareback and two fifth placings. A good beginning for a game young horse.

"A consistent high-scoring black gelding named Pete, was ridden by Norman Coombs, of Elgin. Norm rode him to two first placings, two seconds and a third, which plainly made Norm very happy. And there was another good performing mare, the Morgan, Miss Helen Squire, owned by Gordon Blietz, of Elgin. Seemed as if she was always in the ribbons, especially in the games, which she played for keeps. True to her Morgan blood she was still going strong at the end of the day, having taken two seconds, a third, fourth and a sixth in a strenuous afternoon.

"Elaine Oldham and Janet Sulko were in there pitching too. Elaine rode her pony mare, Lily, to a fourth and fifth and Janet competed might-ily on her Quarter Horse, Buck, plac-ing over the Morgan entries to a first in Western Pleasure and carrying his young rider to a third in the bare-back class and in the ribbon race. All in all it was a great day for the kids and nobody was out of their teens it seemed, except me. I was feeling my age.

"Mrs. Oakley only rode one class, and that was the obstacle course on her good mare, Jubilee's Gloria, which she placed second handily, but I be-lieve her proudest moment of the day came when her two young proteges, Shirley Subotas and Penny Baran rode in on Eve's two Morgan fillies Caven-Glo Rebel Gold and Libby Ashmore, to demonstrate their projects for the year. They did as nice a job of riding

as you could hope for, and were a real credit to their instructor. These girls have worked under Eve's super-vision but have had the full responsi-bility for the care and training of their mounts, and if they continue to pro-gress at the same rate, some of us had better look to our laurels. Shirley also rode her aged gelding, Toni, to three wins, accepting the blue in bare-back riding, second in English Pleas-ure, and third in the egg race. There was quite an omelet on the ground after that game. Booby prize winner for that event was John Sproul, who said to me, ruefully, after the game, "I can't even carry an egg across the kitchen!"

"Penny and Shirley added another star to their chart the same day. When Dorothy Couburn announced the re-sults of the poster contest Penny was first and Shirley second, with Janet Sulko getting a well deserved honor-able mention. The contest was judged by a professional advertising artist, un-known to any of us personally, and he said every entry was a creditable job. They looked good to us too. The win-ner was awarded a ceramic plate deco-

rated with the insignia of the Central States Morgan Horse Club, hand painted by Dorothy Colburn and sec-ond prize was a book on horseman-ship. Each of the other six entries receved the popular booklet on draw-ing horses.

But the big thing on the agenda was the dress rehearsal for the exhibi-tion the club is giving at a local show June 14. We voted to demonstrate the versatility of the Morgan, using Eve's stallion, Cavendish, in harness, under western stock saddle, and in English tack. Let me tell you, they could not have chosen more wisely. You can say what you like about ver-satile Morgans, but I am here to tell you that Eve Oakley can match them at every turn. She is really a wonder! They entered the ring with Cavendish in harness, and what a ham actor he is with his Revere Ware gleam and his strutty Morgan way of going. He looked the crowd over all the way, and (lid he turn on the charm for the gallery! Everyone agreed that he was a vision and a model of what the well turned out horse should be.

while the narrative unfolded over the loudspeaker and then he was stripped and saddled in Western equipment while Eve slipped skillfully out of her lap robe and stood revealed in western chaps and shirt, all ready to go ex-cept for her hat and gloves. Unruffled but moving with great vigor and ap-parent pleasure, the stallion showed off his agile rider to advantage, and the crowd loved it. Then they took off his working duds and set him up fancy in English tack while Eve de-murely removed her chaps and slipped into a hunt coat and hat, and we saw that she had been wearing boots and britches under the chaps all the while. She put him through his paces in style I can tell you, and gave the young riders all a shining goal to aspire to, both in showmanship and horseman-ship.

"It seemed to me while watching Cavendish perform in English tack, that here was a Morgan horse, going as a Morgan horse should go in a three-gaited class.

cular neck, no stylized hopping about throwing his feet awkwardly for lack of saddlebred conformation. This was a horse going the way he knew how, on wings and springs, and I for one felt the pleasant tingle that comes to admirers of horseflesh, when they recognize a performer doing a job he really knows and enjoys. When the Morgan horse can go like that, what a great pity to cheapen him with fake glitter. We rob the gallery of the very thing they came to see, the American Morgan horse in action. I didn't mean for this to be an im-passioned plea for the preservation of true Morgan performance, but that's what it has turned out to be. It is similar to the demand for equality with men that so many modern women voice. They step down from an al-ready exhaulted position and achieve equality in name only, since actual equality is physically impossible and not really desirable. Why then do Morgan owners want to be equal to a breed which is lovely but limited, and to which the Morgan is, as we all know, far superior, It doesn't stand close examination. Neither is it true, as has been said, that we must give the public what they demand. This

strikes me as dangerous nonsense. It helps us avoid responsibility for our individual part in the job of educat-ing the public to what is good for them, and wholesome and useful. If anyone is to imitate some other breed, let the Morgan, from whose roots many breeds have sprung, be the pat-tern to copy. I ask you, would butter imitate margarine? I know this is a hot issue, but it needs to be out in the open if it is to get any cooler.

"We have all been saddened over the loss of the Haywards' filly, Celine and all delighted with the new resident of Caven-Glo, Dorian Ashmore (who makes Mr. Glenn so homesick that we all join him in wishing his family were here too.) The next meeting of the club is at Brucewood Farm Stables when they are to be guests of the Naperville Young Rider's Club, which I founded after arriving here, and to which I act as adult advisor. The kids have worked enthusiastically to set up a treasure hunt on horseback through our timber, and to prepare a menu of barbequed chicken. Most of the members have never seen the young stallion, Sylvester, that I brought out from New York to train for Dr. and Mrs. Olafson of Ithaca.

He is developing very much to my satisfaction, and I never see him with-out a small glow of satisfaction and some momentary amazement that such an animal should be willing to bend his energies to my direction, and overlook my ignorance. If I can re-tain his animation and spirit under harness, it will take a good horse to trim him. I have also got a Morgan mare, Cyanna, by Congo, and her yearling filly here, so you might think I am a Morgan convert, and doggoned if I don't almost think so myself. The mare is to be bred to Sylvester late this year or early next spring, so the popu-lation is increasing.

"We expect to make the National this year for the first time, and to be in the area for two weeks in August, so you can be sure that I will look in at the Monarch Stock Farms and visit with you awhile. I want to catch up on your activities since we said good-by at the 1958 N. Y. State Fair at Syracuse. Meanwhile, here's wish-ing all of you the blues . . . the good kind.

They step down from an al-ready exhaulted position and achieve equality in name only, since actual equality is physically impossible and not really desirable. Why then do Morgan owners want to be equal to a breed which is lovely but limited, and to which the Morgan is, as we all know, far superior, It doesn't stand close examination. Neither is it true, as has been said, that we must give the public what they demand. This

strikes me as dangerous nonsense. It helps us avoid responsibility for our individual part in the job of educat-ing the public to what is good for them, and wholesome and useful. If anyone is to imitate some other breed, let the Morgan, from whose roots many breeds have sprung, be the pat-tern to copy. I ask you, would butter imitate margarine? I know this is a hot issue, but it needs to be out in the open if it is to get any cooler.

"We have all been saddened over the loss of the Haywards' filly, Celine and all delighted with the new resident of Caven-Glo, Dorian Ashmore (who makes Mr. Glenn so homesick that we all join him in wishing his family were here too.) The next meeting of the club is at Brucewood Farm Stables when they are to be guests of the Naperville Young Rider's Club, which I founded after arriving here, and to which I act as adult advisor. The kids have worked enthusiastically to set up a treasure hunt on horseback through our timber, and to prepare a menu of barbequed chicken. Most of the members have never seen the young stallion, Sylvester, that I brought out from New York to train for Dr. and Mrs. Olafson of Ithaca.

He is developing very much to my satisfaction, and I never see him with-out a small glow of satisfaction and some momentary amazement that such an animal should be willing to bend his energies to my direction, and overlook my ignorance. If I can re-tain his animation and spirit under harness, it will take a good horse to trim him. I have also got a Morgan mare, Cyanna, by Congo, and her yearling filly here, so you might think I am a Morgan convert, and doggoned if I don't almost think so myself. The mare is to be bred to Sylvester late this year or early next spring, so the popu-lation is increasing.

"We expect to make the National this year for the first time, and to be in the area for two weeks in August, so you can be sure that I will look in at the Monarch Stock Farms and visit with you awhile. I want to catch up on your activities since we said good-by at the 1958 N. Y. State Fair at Syracuse. Meanwhile, here's wish-ing all of you the blues . . . the good kind.

"Affectionately, Dorothy Jasper"

reap" remains as true , as ever and even more apparent. Yet one must remem-ber that you are sowing genes, not whole horses. It is very easy, however unawares, to sow some genes one does not want to reap, hidden and buried underneath others which we do wish to reproduce. An intelligent analysis of the pedigree of our animals reveals the source of such buried genes and we can make up our minds whether we shall utilize an animal for his gene-tic virtues or discard him for the faults that we know to be a part of his heri-tage.

All in all, when it comes down to the choosing of the stud let us be

guided by three considerations. (1) What he is himself, how nearly he ap-proaches the breeder's ideal of the breed and how far and in what man-ner he falls short of that ideal. (2) His ancestry must be considered, his pedigree analyzed to ascertain what excellencies and what faults he may have derived from which of his parents and grandparents. (3) Perhaps most important of all, one should ascertain what kind of foals he produces when adequately mated. This third point is not always possible with a young stud, and with a young mare it is often necessary to make one's own tests of the animal's ability to transmit the typical virtues of its variety.

Yvonne Schmidt of Crivitts, Wiscon-sin, is first to send word of a 1959 foal. This beautiful bay filly (Dy-berry Ethan-Moro Hills Marleen) can not help but be an asset to the Mor-gan world with such royalty in her background as Lippitt George, Lippitt Miss Nekomia, Archie 0 and Lippitt Gay Lockett. We are sure to hear of this little princess in the future.

The Horseman's Hour, held Sun-day, May 24 at Moreeda Acres, Janes-ville, Wisconsin was a day that will be long remembered by all those pre-

sent. Welcoming the visitors and club was Norma Reeder, our hostess, who certainly gave her all in the pre-paration and introduction to make it an enjoyable afternoon. Pamela Sun-blad's dissertation on the history of the Morgan horse was extremely edu-cational as many of our guests had only a casual acquaintance with the breed at the start of the Hour. Whitey Streckfess, our able announcer, kept the microphone warm with his humor and information as each horse in turn was presented. Barbara White's read-ing of the acceptable Standard of Per-fection by Dr. C. D. Parks was an aid as the railbirds were invited to judge the horses along with our offi-cial judges Geri Phillips and Del Peritz.

As the majestic Dyberry Ethan en-tered the ring, the reaction was audi-ble. This Grand Champion Stallion is the picture of power and flowing movement even when standing still and the thrill of seeing him in action would be difficult to express in words. He seemed to be enjoying the crowd and music as much as the crowd en-joyed seeing him. Next in the ring was Lippitt Alice, a well conditioned mare who gave a fine comparative in-dex of the feminine side of the breed. Lighter in weight and finer than the

stallion, she makes an ideal brood-mare.

Moro Hills Gay Ethan (Dyberry Ethan - Lippitt Gay Lockett) was enough proof alone that like begets like. This jet black coming three year old will soon make his mark as an outstanding breeding sire. His beauti-ful fine head, so similar to an Arabian and gallant bearing combined with his excellent conformation and terrific eye appeal made him, along with Moro Hills Prophet the envy of horseman and layman alike.

As our Horseman's Hour moved on to the question and answer session, Chet Treftc was hard pressed as the questions flew thick and fast. To cite a few: Why do Morgans have a dif-ferent action when they trot than so many other show horses? Where can I see more good Morgans? Why don't all Morgans look alike if they are all Morgan and come from a common ancestor? These and more were asked indicating a true interest. Many re-quests for the Standard of Perfection were made and these requests along with those made by mail have been a source of satisfaction to all the club members. It looks as if our recent fifth reprinting will soon go into the sixth.

A great horseman and outstanding breeder, Mr. Stanley Wallace of Beloit, Wisconsin honored our endeavor with his presence and we certainly enjoyed his discourse on the horses our group had selected to use as the living ex-amples of Morgan type. Mr. Wallace, a Morgan breeder of yesteryear and now a national director of the Palo-mino Horse Breeders of America, Mineral Wells, Texas. His golden Quarter horse, The Possum, never left the show ring empty handed. Mr. Wallace's ability to select and train foals into mature Grand Champions such as Campbell's Bert, who now heads the Wallace stud, has enabled him to line his walls with trophies won in every type of competition.

Another distinguished guest was Mr. George Barlass, owner of Gil-Bar Farm, Janesville, a breeder of Grand Champion Jersey cattle. Mr. Barlass has the largest collection of antique horse drawn vehicles outside of a museum. This versatile gentleman has restored all the vehicles himself and designed the beautiful barns in which to house them. It is truly edu-cational and we marvel at his complete knowledge of these antiques as he showed us Victorias, hansoms, gigs,

coaches, cuter sleds and many more. With matched teams of creams, bays and blacks, Mr. Barlass has exhibited these antiques at fairs and parades.

The members of the Mid-West Mor-gan Horse Owners, Inc. wish to ex-tend their sympathy to the O'Neill family on the loss of Eugene T. O'Neill. Mr O'Neill has been a breeder of fine Morgans for many years, the tradition of the O'Neill Morgan Horse Farm of Manteno, Illinois, dating back many years. Ed is survived by his wife, Stella and his four daughters. His loss is deeply felt by all his friends.

much less what was wrong. Actually, and with the best of intentions, that particular parent was revealing two very definite shortcomings of his own to every judge he spoke to. The first was that he must lack sufficient know-ledge of equitation position and per-formance to be unable to tell for him-self "what was wrong." The second, and more important, was that he ap-parently did not comprehend the basic fact that, even if several of the riders had done "nothing wrong," it would still be possible to place the class ac-curately on a basis of degree of per-fection rather than on one of minute-ness of error. Perhaps it is only human nature to react less favorably to the negative approach, but many judges do feel that it reflects more of a de-sire to shift the blame for the low placing onto his shoulders than a real effort toward improvement. There-fore, try accenting the positive next time. Wait until the judge has a few minutes free time — and that doesn't mean the only free moment he's had all day to drink a cup of coffee in peace, either. Ask the manager of the show to introduce you to the judge, and then ask him politely if he can offer you any suggestions for your child's improvement as a rider. Accept his answer. Don't use it as the open-ing wedge for a ten-minute argument. And whether you agree with him or not, thank him kindly, and as if you meant it. Most medicine is good for you, you know even if the first taste is unexpectedly bitter.

Knowledge of the rules under which you show is your responsibility as an exhibitor but it can also be your pro-tection. Many people believe that a

judge merely stands in the middle of a ring and picks out "what he likes" in a horse. Such is almost never the case. Instead, the judge must not only consider certain rigid requirements for any class, but often must consider them in a certain order of precedence. For instance, we might try a hypothetical class which states "To be judged on performance, conformation and man-ners." Without stated percentages al-located to each one, the three require. ments are considered in order, with "performance" as the primary requi-site. Thus your first place horse must be the one with the most outstanding performance, of whatever type the class called for, and must in addition be at least within the top few as to conformation and manners. Perhaps a second class in the same division will state "To be judged on manners, quali-ty and performance." Here again, the requirement first stated, that of man-

They are a concen- tration of the highest percentage of Morgan blood obtainable and are noted for their type, dispo- sition and trappy way of going.

ners, is the ruling one. Your blue must go to the horse exhibiting the best of maners, with a goodly amount of quality and a creditable perform- ance. With such a variation in the re- quirements, and their order, for the two classes, it would be perfectly logi- cal to find the third placed horse in the first class winning the second. Most judges consider it mandatory that their blue-ribbon horse should be the one that has shown the first-named judging requirement to the finest de- gree. In a large class of excellent horses, this almost invariably proves true, but in a very small one, perhaps with only two or three entries, it is often possible for a horse that is only "good" in all three requirements to top one that is "very good" in the first — and "appallingly awful" in the other two!

After you have learned the rules, and checked their various and some-times devious interpretations, there is one more needful item for you to have —the horse shoe over the stable door, the four-leaf clover, the left hind foot of the buck rabbit killed in the dark or the Fall moon, or whatever name you use for just plain luck. That's what decides the judge to glance around just when that woman stand-ing at the rail puts up her umbrella and scares your horse into a shy. Its also what causes him to be watching you when your horse comes roaring down at the best trot he's shown in years. So in the first class the blue dances out of the ring on another horse's bridle, and in the second its on yours. It is always true that the best horse needs very little luck, but its the rare racing man that will tell you anything else ever beat Man O'War.

A horse show is meant to be en-joyed. Because it is a competitive sport, someone has to win — and a lot of someones have to lose. Learn by your mistakes, and those of others, but don't beat yourself by not know-ing, and obeying, the regulations that govern your division and your show. Being a proper sportsman is always easier when you follow the rules of the game. Its always "how you play it" that truly matters — and may you never need that rabbit's foot!

To complete an already unusual personality, Sunny King is an incur-able ham. He loves an audience and is obvious about it. While taking pic-tures the film in our camera jammed in the middle of a trick. It was some little time before we could take the picture, and during our fuss with the camera Sunny King had all four feet up on a box, still as a statue, ears alert. At the click of the camera he very visibly relaxed, and looked for his command to step down. A true char-acter.

We spent the entire afternoon com-pletely entranced watching this little fellow perform. All was done quietly and efficiently, whether tricks or going through his paces as a good using stock horse — not once did he hestitate or refuse to obey. Toward evening as we headed for home we turned to watch him loose in his pen, full of the devil and bouncing around with all the lightness of a leaf caught in a whirlwind! How we would have loved to take him with us.

Sired by a Morgan out of a Morab mare, Sunny King is quite a horse; Tex White is an exceptional trainer. The pair? Unforgettable!

the country as well as to a lot of the cattle feeders and at every place it was time to eat. Also one day all the Morgan folks from all over Minn. and the Dakotas showed up. There might have been a few missing but if so I couldn't have remembered their names any way. I'm tellin' you the Morgan talk was something to hear for a spell around there.

It was with real regret that we finally told Al that we just had to get back to Wyoming and he loaded us up in his car driving us clear back to White Lake where our truck was ready for us. We had heard of a man, Levi Nelson, who had a whale of a lot of Belgian Horses. He lived pretty close to White Lake so we decided to give him a call and see how the draft horse business was. He told us to stand right still and he would come after us in the car as we had our truck loaded with corn by then. This was one of the most fortunate things that ever happened to me as I got acquainted with Levi Nelson. Levi has seen many snows but is still an active, healthy man. He has a fine man helping him who is more of a partner than a hired hand, and between them they keep a large home that woud be the envy of any woman. Of course they have the old collie dog to help them but aside from that it is just Levi and Karl and 300 head of Belgian horses. That's right folks, 300 head of the biggest darn horses I ever have seen. He was running 3 studs at the time and wish-ing he had more mares to help him meet the demand for big colts. We stayed all night with these fine old gentlemen and the next morning Levi took us far and wide to look at mules. Now this was Cecil's idea folks, he outfits and takes out hunters in the fall so he was interested in pack mules. And we did see mules. About noon we had to say so-long to the swell people of White Lake and head on back to Wyoming. Needless to say there is a soft spot in a couple of Wyoming Horse Wranglers hearts for the folks of White Lake.

Well sir, you'd think that after that jaunt I would have had enough run-ning around but during the summer there were a lot of those folks from Minn. and Dakota dropping in. Also folks from Iowa and Nebr. who had seen the horses and wanted to visit or dicker. Bob Riley and the Lasiters from Iowa were here and dealt me out of a couple of horses. Then along came Ray Anderson and his wife from Fargo, N. Dak., and Mike Duginski

and wife with the Phil Aigners, all from Moorhead, Minn. Then Cliff Hitz and his wife. All of them were folks I had met in Minn. that winter or early spring. At any rate it wound up the wife and I made another run to Minn. this fall with 10 Morgans. This time we headed for Moorhead first and from there to Springfield for another visit with Al Dorow. Moorhead isn't any different than Springfield when it comes to hospi-tality. We did manage to get into the hotel cafe once without someone to grab the tab and be dogged if the hotel manager didn't get that one. He doesn't own a Morgan right at the present but he is very interested and is quite a horseman. We had a wonder-ful time in Moorhead visiting with the folks there and we feel now that it is almost like home there. Most of those people keep their horses at the country club and we sure had all the help we needed unloading. If you are ever handling horses around Moorhead and need real help send for Mrs. Roy Mer-rill, she is a gal that gets things done and knows what she is doing. I'll tell you that with Ray Anderson riding the outside circle and Kate Merrill cutting the herd that Moorhead outfit is in business. I regretted not seeing my old partner Mike Duginski on this trip as he was up to see a son admitted to the bar. (I can remember when my Dad was around telling them not to admit me to any bars.) Mike and the Aigners had a bad accident not far from the home place here this summer. A local cow puncher had been admitted to too many bars and hit Mike head-on causing Mike to totally demolish his car and putting all three of his pas-sengers in the hospital, but Mike with the luck of his Irish ancestors came out without a scratch, so I did get to have a good visit with him. While in Moor-head I unloaded the 3 colts I was tak-ing to Al Dorow at Phil Aigner's fine farm. I had two horses for him so for a full day and a couple of nights all five of these colts got to lay around and rest. Phil has the nicest farm I have ever seen and more studs than County Cork. Guess I just as well admit that I met my match with Phil as he sold me a stud that I needed just like I needed another toe. How-ever we finally loaded up Al's 3 colts and Dakota Hoksina, the stud and slipped on down to Al's. There it was just like coming home except that it was corn pickin' time and of course Grace and I both had to take a ride on the corn picker. That is one heck

of a piece of machinery and I'd always thought a hay baler was a headache. Here again it was eat and then eat again. Al's daughters Pat and Bobby were chief cook and bottle washer with Pat doing most of the cooking as Bobby was working in town. Incidentally, this Pat girl is quite an artist, especially on horses. I hope that she hasn't forgotten that she promised to paint me a picture.

Again we had to push off before we wanted to or rather before we ate Al out of house and home, so loading the old stud up we headed back to my old rolling ground White Lake. We went right straight out to Levi Nelson's and after spending the night with him we started out buying mules to keep old Hoksina company on the way home. We bought four mules and left White Lake just at dusk. Driv-ing all night we made it into New Castle, Wyoming where we stopped to visit with the Cristy Smiths. Cristy is raising a few Morgans from some stock he traded me out of a few years back. However he was dehorning cattle and I didn't get a chance to see his horses. Late that night we arrived home and turned the mules and the old horse out for a chance to roll and

fill up. I might add right now that the mules are all broke and old Hok-sina has about forgot what a box stall looks like.

Well Folks, that makes over 6,000 miles I have driven in twelve months delivering horses and I just hope that I can keep right on doing it. I've met the nicest people possible to meet and enjoyed every minute of it. If you run into any of these folks tell them hello for me and get ready for a pot of coffee because dollars to biscuits you'll have to visit a spell.

Now that had ought to be wind enough from these parts to last quite a spell. We are stirring up a few more breeders around here. Johnny Lee is increasing his registered band down Lander way. Mike Allen is pretty liable to have some good Morgans there before too long and right here in Dubois we have Franklin Mockler getting started. So I'm not alone up here any more.

When you folks get out this way just head up the Wind River until you come to the DuNoir valley, swing north about four miles, climb down, rest your saddles and we'll swap a few yarns and talk Morgan Horse.
