Taken from her pasture setting, this 10-year old mare quickly bonded with her exceptionally talented young rider. Together they excelled in the open 2’9” Hunter Division, winning the coveted Prelude Year End Reserve Championship. In addition, they claimed two championships in the CMHA Awards Program. A malignant tumor brought Sugar’s new career to a tragic halt. But like a true champion, she leaves us with the most remarkable memories and inspiration. photos by Robyn Buckler Canadian Morgan 2015 March/April/May.indd 1 1 2015-03-09 12:14 PM Canadian Morgan Horse Association www.morganhorse.ca CMHA Office Administrator: Nancy Kavanagh Phone: (905) 982-0060 Fax: (905) 982-0097 E-mail: info@morganhorse.ca Mail: Box 286, Port Perry, ON L9L 1A3 L Courier: 18555 Highway 12, Greenbank, ON L0C 1B0 Officers President: Melissa MacKenzie 63 McManus St. Passekeag, NB E5N 7S3 (506) 832-5515 Morgans@nb.sympatico.ca East Vice President: Tina Rovers Box 303, Stewiackie, NS B0N 2J0 (902) 639-2832 contact@portersequine.com West Vice President: Laurie Ann Lyons Box 3254 A Stn.

If you are not already enrolled in a program, contact Nancy at the office and she will be glad to help you out and assist in getting your Morgan registered in a program. Remember you do not have to show your Morgan to qualify for the Versatility Award system. The Awards system is generally on the Agenda for each of our monthly conference calls. The CMHA Board is trying to create a National system that works best for the entire country as a whole, while keeping in mind the wishes of the various regions. This spring, as in previous years, the entire Awards system will be reviewed once again during our Board meeting. Please monitor the website and watch for e-news to stay informed of any changes that will be in place for the 2015 year. Registry is the other topic that is regularly discussed during our meetings. I cannot express enough how important it is to be informed and get proper documentation when buying or leasing your Morgan. Remember “Buyer Beware.” The CMHA cannot order parties to follow the rules of the registry; we, with the assistance of the CLRC, can only inform people of what is required in order to comply with the rules. Unfortunately, not all rules are followed and there are a number of horses out there eligible to be a registered Morgan. If you have any ideas on what the CMHA can do to encourage all breeders to register all their “Morgans,” feel free to share your idea with your zone director or myself. If we all work together, we can improve the level of compliance with the registry and reduce the current number of outstanding registry issues. I am looking forward to the Board meetings and the CMHA AGM being held in Kamloops, British Columbia on March 28. I am sure it will mark the beginning of another great year for the CMHA. Melissa MacKenzie CMHA President Membership Notices The AGM of the CMHA will be held in Kamloops, BC on Saturday, March 28th, 9:00 AM. Located at The Plaza Hotel, 405 Victoria St, Kamloops, BC.

Nancy Kavanagh CMHA Office Administrator Canadian Morgan 2015 March/April/May.indd 3 3 2015-03-09 12:15 PM Editor’s Input There maybe a 7’ high snowback beside my barn after my neighbour got spring fever yesterday and tidied up all of the neighbourhood driveways, and we may have had the coldest February on record. But the longer days and occasional southern breeze are carrying enough promise that I can see a spring melt and tulip season will be starting before I get to my “pre-spring” cleaning. And it will be a wonderful thing to see! Every issue of the magazine is a waiting-game, waiting to see who will support our costs with ads, and what articles will be sent in for clubs and Morgan achievements. For now, this issue wins in what has come from waiting. We have a variety of articles that will remind you of what makes this such a wonderful breed to be a part of. While the full-page ads may be in short supply this time, the “Stone Soup” story comes to mind, as many members added their part to the mix with a feast of paid photos in the Awards article and the continuation of the Stallion Section. Thanks to each of you! You have a lasting memory of your 2014 achievements this way, and have played a part in supporting the magazine. As I was compiling this issue, and looking at all of the venues our Morgans are seen in thanks to the Awards Program entries, it got me thinking about how challenging it can be in today’s horse industry to connect new owners and first-time buyers to the horses and horse knowledge that exists in the Morgan world. In one of those “Eureka!” moments, it occured to me that instead of an annual For Sale issue or Pleasure horse issue, we might break some revolutionary new ground by instigating a “New Owners” issue. As I have dedicated two pages to describing this further in this issue, I won’t be repetitive here. But I do encourage each of you to look at this as an opportunity to help open the door to bringing new owners into the breed. Once compiled, this new issue, coming out this summer, will be one of your favourite and most referred to issues in years. From masses of photos, to stories of your personal Morgan experiences, to promoting your breeding, training and lesson programs, I am urging you to help make this happen. The resulting pages will be distributed through tack shops, feed stores, at events like the Calgary Stampede and Challenge of the breeds, and, perhaps, the 2014 Pan Am Games taking place in Ontario, Canada in July. Spare copies will be available for you to give to horse-crazy kids, adults looking for their new empty-nest activities, and anyone who is need of being bit by the Morgan bug. But it has to happen with a group effort, and each little Morgan stone you can send me will simmer into an issue you’ll be proud to play a part in. So dip into your memories and files before mud season is finally upon us, and help me to get a head start on making something memorable. Every little bit will add to the flavor! Lisa Peterson Editor Morgan World News SHELBURNE, VT—Lots of Morgan fun and excitement took place at the 2015 American Morgan Horse Association (AMHA) Awards Gala and Convention. This annual gathering of Morgan members and enthusiasts took place February 27-28 in Minneapolis. Some of the highlights of the two-day event included a farm visit to local Morgan farms; Hardwood Creek and Arcola Farm. Popular seminars included guest speaker, Patti Colbert, who spoke on generational marketing, a panel discussion on connecting with the Amish community, and world renowned photographer, Scott Trees, presenting a visual chronical of his lifetime experience with horses. Equine Photographer Howard Schatzberg was a guest speaker at the Awards Luncheon, and talked about his 30 years of photography at the Morgan Grand National. More than $55,000 was earned at the annual AMHA/World Morgan Futurity Stallion Service Auction. The overall top-winning bid went to Dragonsmeade Axios for $5,100. Net income following expenses from this auction will be distributed to the AMHA Marketing Program, World Morgan Futurity, AMHA regional shows, the AMHA Show Grant Program, and for marketing and promoting the breed. Longtime Morgan supporters were recognized before the Morgan community on Saturday, February 28 for their dedication to the breed at the annual Awards Gala. CMHA Director Tina Porter Rovers was selected as the recipient of the Morgan International Award for her Morgan breed promotion in Canada. In 2016 AMHA will be joining forces with the American Hackney Horse Society, American Saddlebred Horse Association, and the United Professional Horsemen’s Association to hold a Super Convention, to take place February 9-13 in Boston, Massachusetts. Founded in 1909, the American Morgan Horse Association is a non-profit organization serving more than 50,000 Morgan horse owners, breeders, exhibitors, and enthusiasts throughout the United States. AMHA serves as a parent organization to more than 90 recognized Morgan horse clubs and national service organizations.

One gift went to support an educational clinic on being a horse owner in Ontario and the other went to the University of Calgary to finance a study on keeping horses. But the real big news is the huge increase in Memorial Donations over that of previous years. The EFC was named the “Charity of Choice” by the families of loved ones who had passed away, in particular two in Alberta. This was noted in the newspaper obituaries and also the bulletins given out at the funeral service, with a full listing of where the donation should be sent. In this case it was: The Equine Foundation of Canada, a/c Susan J. Nelson, R.R. 2, 326 Dyke Rd., FALMOUTH, N.S. B0P 1L0. This made it convenient and easy for donors to contribute, and usually brochures were available also at the service. Much appreciated also are the single gifts made by horse enthusiasts, sometimes for someone who has been gone from us for several years. In addition to the Memorial Donations, EFC funding has been received for special occasion events or maybe just because there is a special spot in someone’s heart for the horse or other pet. Trail rides, auctions, and other such activities also contribute. For example, an Alberta youth group in the past year raised more than $500 by making horse cookies and selling them at the various horse shows they attended. The Equine Foundation which was formed in 1983 has contributed over $900,000 to the Canadian horse industry, much of it to the five Canadian veterinary colleges for equipment and research, and of late for scholarships for students in equine study. Funding has also been given for group clinics and smaller such projects, as well as for two Livestock Emergency Response Units (trail- Macking More crew celebrating ers). Currently funding their fund raising for EFC with “ears has been awarded to the up.” University of Guelph for equipment in diagnosing lameness in horses. More on this later!

To my surprise, it finally happened. I have a mare named TamRacs Renne de Solei (Aryia) now. She is eight-years old and I’ve had her for almost five years; three of which I leased her. I hope spring has arrived where ever you may live and the snow is long gone! First off I would like to congratulate all the youth high point winners, provincially and nationally. Well done! Thank you to those youth who submitted scholarship & sportsmanship nominations. We had no entries in the OYAS which is disappointing. Hopefully we can get some entries for 2015, as the winner will get their trip to the CMHA convention paid for. The convention in 2016 will be in New Brunswick. Our winners for 2014 are: Mackenzie Collins, Loretto, ON - $250 Scholarship Award winner Melanie Thomas, Bowmanville, ON – Sportsmanship Award winner Their stories are included in this issue, so please take your time to read about these two lovely young ladies. Congratulations! The 2015 Youth Challenge speech topic will be “My perfect day with my Morgan Horse would include…” It only has to be a few minutes long and props are allowed! Have fun and be creative with this topic! I will be travelling to Kamloops, BC for the CMHA board and Annual General Meetings. If there are any questions, comments, or concerns that anyone would like discussed regarding the youth, please let me know so that I can have them addressed at the board meetings. Thanks, Lisa Kavanagh CMHAY Chair Youth Profiles Jordan Reid Hi my name is Jordan Reid. I’m 16 years old and in grade eleven. My auntie was the first person to introduce me to horses when I was two-years old, and ever since then, I have been in love with them. I started a horse fund for one of my own and my Auntie made sure they always had a few horses so when I would come to visit and stay, I could be around them. I convinced my parents to let me start taking lessons when I was four (they had no idea what they were getting themselves into). From what started as a lesson a week turned into two then three. I rode at TamRac Ranch for almost 11 years. It was there I was introduced to the Morgan horse and began showing. I currently ride with Barb Tracey at B-Ranch just outside of Edmonton, Alberta. I have been showing in the equitation and pleasure divisions. This past season was only my fourth show season. Barb has worked Aryia since last summer and she has come a long way. I am so proud of her. She is a lovely, pretty mare and she’s all mine! My mom’s even become attached and enjoys scratching her neck, feeding her treats, and brushing her. I also had the fortunate pleasure of showing Bora Bora and Best’s Mellow Tune. I rode these two geldings throughout the year and at the 2014 Grand National and World Championship Morgan Horse Show. There I received two second places on judge’s cards and am the Reserve World Champion for First Level Junior Exhibitor Dressage. It was a dream come true going to Oklahoma. It was one of the best weeks of my life. Besides riding horses, I play U19 Ringette and high school rugby. I also competitively danced for 10 years doing ballet, jazz and tap. I can’t wait for the 2015 season to start. Ashlee Wheaton My name is Ashlee Wheaton. I am 19-years old and I live in Enfield, Nova Scotia. I have been riding for about eight years and currently go to St. Francis Xavier University, in Antigonish, Nova Scotia. I am a first year engineering student. My grandfather always had horses when I was young, but I wasn’t allowed to start riding until I was 11. My dad won free riding lessons from Porters Equine Centre in Stewiacke, Nova Scotia. I began riding Morgan hunters and competed with a black 10 March/April/May 2015 2015 March/April/May.indd 10 2015-03-09 12:15 PM mare that I leased for a few years. She was the first horse I ever rode at Oklahoma for the Grand National. I started my saddle seat career a couple years after, with the first horse I had ever owned. He was a Morgan park horse named Masterclass, who went by the name of “Scooby.” He began my love for the saddle seat discipline. I competed with him for about thre years as well as my second horse, Exclusively Ferrari, whom we added to my string about two years after we bought Scooby. When I got serious about competing, my dad and I decided that it would make sense to have the horses in the states, to cut travel costs and such. So we moved to Cater Stables in Dunbarton, New Hampshire, and decided that it was time to move on from the horses that I was so fond of, and who had played such a large role in developing my passion for saddle seat, and on to something more challenging. So, as hard as it was for me to make the decision to sell my first two horses, we decided that it was the right thing to do if I wanted a shot at a World Championship in my last junior exhibitor year. We bought my first Saddlebred when I was 18, and last year I won my very first World Championship with her in Louisville, Kentucky. Her name is CH Extremely Fortunut and goes by “Chalupa.” My current Morgan is a five year old gelding named Unzipped who goes by “Zippy,” who I love very much. We went on to win a Reserve World Championship at Oklahoma last year, which was such an honor. He and I had trained so hard and come so far as a team in so little time. I think when we entered that ring in Oklahoma, he wanted to win just as badly as I did. He is truly a oneo- a kind horse, with true Morgan characteristics; kind and gentle with an honest loving heart, I must say I couldn’t have been more honored to be the one that got to ride him to victory lane. I owe so much thanks to everyone who has ever helped me on my journey, Tina and Don Porter, Kristen and David Cater, and Cindy Mugnier have helped me train and become the rider that I am today, and I couldn’t have done it without them as my mentors. I recently found out that I am this year’s UPHA Chapter 14 Saddlebred Junior Exhibitor of the Year. I cannot think of a better way to complete my years as a junior exhibitor. As I move forward into my amateur career, I plan to continue to compete all summer with Zippy and Chalupa. Looking forward to show season 2015!!! Winning 2014 Sportsmanship Nomination Melanie Thomas The sportsmanship award is given to a youth who deserves recognition for being a good sport and a model Morgan citizen. It should be given to a youth who does his or her best to partici- pate in Morgan events, always with a smile on their face and a positive attitude towards everyone. I believe that Melanie Thomas is very deserving of this award. Melanie is a relatively new youth to the Morgan circuit, but she entered it with an amazing attitude. She is very dedicated to the breed and tries her best to get involved in any way she can. This year she wrote out her speech, and practiced her judging skills for the OMHC Youth Challenge. Sadly, she was the only entry and did not get a chance to compete.Youth Challenge entries receiving riding awards. She took the news as best she could and understood why it happened and was very understanding of the situation. She just smiled and said, “Hey, there is always next year,” and she is already looking forward to the chance to compete in the youth challenge in 2015. Melanie is always congratulating everyone on amazing rides and is genuinely happy for everyone competing. To me that is a major part of being a good sport. If someone beats you, no matter the circumstance, you go up and congratulate them on an amazing ride, and that is what Melanie does. For the reasons above, I truly believe that Melanie Thomas is very deserving of the CMHAY Sportsmanship Award. Sincerely, Ashley Reeson OMHC Youth Leader 2015 Youth Scholarship Recipient Mackenzie Collins My name is Mackenzie Collins; I am a grade 12 student at Banting Memorial High School in Alliston, or as I like to call it, “the middle of no where.” I am currently applying for university and while doing so I decided it would be a great idea to participate in the CMHAY Scholarship Contest. I have been a member since I was a little girl, it is even joked that I learned to ride before I could walk and talk. It happens to run in the family, I am the third generation of dedicated Morgan lovers on my mother’s side and the second generation of riders on my dad’s, but I will discuss this more in-depth later on. I am turning 18 on February 3, right around this time I will be hoping to receive some acceptance letters to the programs I’ve applied for, which include Forensic Science, Forensic Psychology, and Pre-Law. While I’m away I am also avidly looking for an equestrian team I can join, as I would find it almost impossible to part with my beloved Morgan even for a few months! When I was 11-years old there came to be a time of great debate in my household. As my father is well-known in the jumper world, naturally that is the path he wanted me to take. However, my mother and grandmother joined forces to convince me that the Morgan horse was the direction to go in. Needless to say, it didn’t Canadian Morgan 2015 March/April/May.indd 11 11 2015-03-09 12:15 PM take much convincing! I’d already fallen in love with the breed while riding my mother’s horses as I was growing-up. However, I am to this day a daddy’s girl and that is precisely how I ended up with my first Morgan horse, Commit to Memory (Tug Hill Commando x C and B Memory Lane), my beautiful chestnut gelding who at 14.1-hands was a perfect match for a 13 & under junior ALBERTA MORGAN RANCH INC (AMRI) Francisco Jose Lagos, Maria F.

Banker can also be credited as the main reason for my winning the OMHC Youth Challenge for the first time and multiple times after as well. Banker was truly the perfect first horse and gave me the confidence I needed to become both the rider and person I am today. Because of him I became way more involved in the CMHA and OMHC Youth programs. That brings us to the present day. Banker was sold a few years ago to lovely girl in Alberta where he has added a few titles more to his name for her, and I am the proud and loving owner of Attn Postmaster (Cedar Creek Harlequin x Saddletime Scarlet O’Hara). “Prince” is a bit more of a challenge as his name would suggest, but he makes it absolutely worth it. Together we have won multiple CMHA and OMHC championships and we were even the first team to win the Horse Show Wire “Best Performance” twice, at the 2012 and 2013 OMHC Classic Horse Show. Prince is an absolutely outstanding hunter and it is my wish to continue showing him for many more years to come, also in our future plans is Oklahoma in 2015 for my last year as a junior exhibitor. to give back to the organization as much as I can. I started by becoming the Vice President of the OMHC Youth Club where I am currently, and I hope to one day make my way to President so that I may help the club in more ways. I am also looking forward to being on the show committee for the OMHC Morgan and Saddlebred Classic for the 2015 show season. I have some great ideas and want the current members to have fun while also attracting some new members as well. Another important part of giving back to me is by introducing others into the Morgan breed. I give lessons to a friend of mine not-for-profit, as I know how much she loves horses and how healing they are for her. I love watching her fall in love with the breed the way I did many years ago. But the thing I am the most proud of is the Sportsmanship Award I won last year. It was so nice to see that I had made a noticeable impact and people saw my efforts. I love meeting new members and bringing together the club. Like I said earlier, we are a large family and it’s a great atmosphere that I have grown up in. The CMHA has become a sort of family to me and I have known most members since I was a baby. This has made me want A.P.

Or maybe you just watch from the show ads and shake your head at having the time to achieve such things! Whatever your approach to taking your Morgans into the show arena, one concern is shared by everyone. How do you achieve an up-to-date turnout to make a positive impression on the judge without breaking the bank? When show season comes around, we prep our horses, pack our tack boxes and polish our tack. Many of us are lucky to fit into our show clothes from last year, but is it a good idea to wear the same colour jacket or coat year after year? Does our derby look a little worn? Giving attention to our turnout deserves at least a few moments of time as each new show season approaches, and evaluating whether it’s time for a wardrobe facelift or not. Our show ring look is just as important as our horse’s. If you are on a tight budget like most exhibitors, you can still use some savvy tricks to have a world class turnout as you pursue the Plaid shirt, paisley more engaging projects of polishing flower tie, solid silver, oiling bridles, and trimming legs silk vest and a rich and bridle paths. Taking a moment to tweed turn into a check out what the professionals are stunning saddle up to can save time and frustration for seat daysuit. those of us who may be fashion challenged! Right, wrong or otherwise, there is a “look” that one strives to achieve in the show pen and again, but even with the ultimate designer outfit, it’s not about the money, but about details. When somebody is put together well and all the details are in order, they send out a feeling of confidence. Confidence is usually a result of hard work, knowing your horse, and knowing your job. Even if you are little bit lacking in the confidence department, if you can look the part to the judges, you’re at least part of the way there and that will have a positive outcome on your performance. ON TREND Heather Marchiafava of Commotion Consignment Apparel in Lexington, Kentucky has noticed certain saddle seat trends in the Saddlebred world that tend to carry over to the Morgan as well as Arabian worlds. One current trend includes having day suits and day coats made of fabrics with a sheen. The popular coats are silk or satin, and come in all sorts of spectacular colours. Although teals and whites were big in 2014, this year seems to show that shades of green will be the most popular. The “tone-on-tone” look for vests, shirts, and ties is a favourite one at this time as well. Trends in other disciplines are being noticed as well. Trainer Sonja Lorenson of Cold Creek Inc, in Alberta, says in the Morgan arena, you need to consider tradition at all times. In the most traditional discipline of hunter pleasure, people have been taking liberties with colours of breeches, jackets, and their fabrics to the point that some outfits become more of a distraction. The outfits in western pleasure and pleasure driving are the blingiest and showiest, but flash is used tastefully. Lorenson has also noticed more people in saddle seat classes are wearing one-colour suits and moving away from the lighter tone day coat. In the evening, however, the jackets are getting fancier, and there is a wider variety of material. Vest combinations and formal tuxes are being dressed up with formal, silk shirts. Carriage driving is a discipline where anything different can cost you a placing, so many stay true to the traditional outfits. COLOUR COORDINATED There has always been a concern with matching your outfit to your horse. For Amy Fleming of Show Ring Outfitters in Ap- 14 March/April/May 2015 2015 March/April/May.indd 14 2015-03-09 12:15 PM pleton, Wisconsin, it is common sense to consider the horse when choosing a suit. this would be a collar bar with matching post earrings and lapel pin. Some like to add a tie with bling or a tie tack. On the back, number magnets and a hair accessory are good. “You don’t want to be one of five or six riders in a class on a chestnut horse, wearing a navy suit.” Fleming says, “It’s too hard for the judge to keep track of you!” Lorenson notices the Morgan World Championship has remained pretty traditional compared to several other breeds. She agrees that moderate bling is acceptable, and is necessary in Western. Keep in mind the session, division, and the colour of your horse. She says, “Consider what you want the judge to see.” Fleming recommends for a bay horse, go with a black coat over navy. The black coat will enhance the black points on the bay. If you are riding a chestnut, try wearing a day coat, or something distinctive. As chestnuts come in a variety of shades, keep in mind certain tones of brown may make your chestnut look orange. You can ask the maker of your suit to order some fabric U n ive r s a l l y - a p p r o p r i a t e for you to take and hold by your black (above) makes a memhorse in both indoor and outdoor orable impression with an lighting.

If you stick with greens, (right). blues and earth tones, it will be easy to compliment your Morgan. Similarly, Marchiafava feels you don’t have to technically match your horse, but you do want to blend and compliment each other for that beautiful picture. Being mindful of the tone and colour of your horse can help in your choosing of colours. Lorenson says, “The whole goal is a complimentary picture. Remember the focus in the ring is your horse (in a pleasure class). Too much sparkle, too much bling, an oversized, bright colour saddlepad, all detract from your horse. Remember what you want the judge to see.” TWINKLE, TWINKLE On the topic of bling, Fleming says, “Done correctly, bling is a wonderful thing.” Bling can add the finishing touch of sparkle and colour to an outfit, but there is such a thing as too much sparkle. Breed and discipline tend to control the amount. Fleming has a rule of thumb for saddle seat of three to four items on the front and two on the back. An example of No one wants the judge to only remember the amount of bling. As Marchiafava notes, bling can depend on your personality or your trainer. She thinks for adults at least, “less is more.” A hair-bow, tie, tie bar and whip should be enough. Objects on the lapel should be small and have some special meaning to the rider. Fleming notes rhinestone-handle whips are popular, but recommends to stick with clear or Aurora Borealis (AB) coated so you can make your whip work with any discipline or shirt and vest combinations. Make sure you get the correct length of whip for your discipline, and check to see if it is the correct stiffness. Dressage whips are about 38 to 40 inches, and saddle seat whips should be shorter than 36 inches. What’s too much? Too much bling would be a tie with bling, tie tack with bling, crystal tie ring, crystal tie bar, earrings, and a bling brooch pin. It would be too busy for your eyes to rest on any one detail. DETAILS If you are moving from local shows to higher levels, you have to pay attention to details to up your game. Lorenson says, “Details are everything, fit is paramount.” At local shows, you have the option of buying clothing off the rack or from someone else. You can still get it tailored. As you move up in the levels of shows, try to buy the best fabric possible. You don’t need to buy a hundred different outfits, just collect several different vests and ties. For Western, Trimly tailored and in a conservative hue you can change the jacket, but keep the chaps with a silky sheen, a quality huntseat the same for classes. Fit is everything, even at coat can be found on consignment for the small shows. Your attire budget will need to grow as you start showing in bigger shows. lasting great looks.

Right now, crystal barrettes and hair pins are a hot trend. If you are on a budget but don’t want to look like it, try clear number magnets and a bun bow, instead of using a barrette. Still try to get a coloured collar bar for each of your outfits. some tasteful bling on jackets, and pins at the collar are a simple and pretty finish. As for hats, dark is not usually flattering for women. If you have dark chaps, try matching your hat to a light colour in your shirt. “Personally, I think you should look sharp no matter if you are showing at the local or national level,” says Marchiafava. “Fit and quality of garments should always be number one no matter what level you show. Just as you dress yourself outside of the show ring, take pride in your appearance in the show ring!” Each division has a different look, and in each look there are different levels. Lorenson gives an example: pastels look good on young girls, but not adults. She also encourages supportive undergarments like Spanx.

In saddle seat classes, patterned shirts, vests and ties usually successfully finish an outfit. In western, you will see the standard dark chaps or earth tone chaps worn. Fringe is usually used by men and trainers, whereas the scallops on chaps are usually good for amateurs and juniors as that style won’t draw attention from movement. Western sees This usually indicates silk content or high thread count (usually the reason these suits cost a bit more than others). Some polyester can have similar effects at a lower cost, so keep your eyes open. Older outfits can still have nice fabric. What you save on your suit, you can use to get professional tailoring. Fleming cautions to stay away from the “80s-big-shoulders-look.” The Fingertip Guide to Coordinating Horse & Human Horse Coat Colour: Chestnut, Bay, Brown “Red Heads” Human Attire Colour: Earth tones such as rust, sand, cream, peach and chocolate are all flattering base colors on these horses. These colours extend to trendy linen and copper shades. Horse Coat Colour: Bay, Black, Grey or White Horses “Brunettes” Human Attire Colours: Bright, bold jewel tones compliment these rich colours. Poppy red, Linen, Monaco Blue, African Violet are all some trendy shades that fit this category. Horse Coat Colour: Neutral Toned Palominos “Blondes” Human Attire Colours: Go with earth or jewel tones, as well as the blue/green tones that will suit your horse’s colour. Versatile Rider? If you are riding horses from both colour groups, look for shades of blue/green, like teal, deep green, sage and turquoise, that flatter almost any horse. A black suit is always in style for any colour horse. But remember that the majority of your competition may also be wearing black, so make sure yours is distinctive and well-tailored! 16 March/April/May 2015 2015 March/April/May.indd 16 2015-03-09 12:15 PM Ties are important, so make sure you pick one that suits your outfit perfectly. Fleming recommends picking a tie that “elevates” the shirt and vest combo you have. Your boots should be completely covered and your shirt collars need to fit correctly, there should be a single finger’s worth of space. If your collar is too big, you can have a tailor adjust it. Vests should be snug, but not tight. If vests are too big, they add bulk to your look. You can get them altered as sometimes only a seam down the back is needed. Fleming agrees with consignment. “You can save by buying pieces on consignment. There are deals on older day coats if you don’t need a day suit. Remember crystal or clear bling will go with everything. “ Consignment websites are a host of great combinations and ideas. You can shop online until you find the look you want. Fleming’s main advice is, “SPLURGE on a properly shaped, neatly rolled derby.

Many shirt and vest alterations can be handled by a home seamstress.” Your boots, gloves and whip should match each other, and go with the suit. Black gloves and boots go well with a navy suit, but those in a navy colour will look more finished and professional. If you are wearing a brown or tan suit, for that winning look wear brown boots, brown gloves and carry a brown whip. Absolutely everyone should wear gloves. 11 issues per year, 30,000+ readers Lorenson has similar thoughts. She says colour blocking is not a good idea. Stay away from wearing different colour gloves than your jacket, or different colour boots than your chaps. Your Best Value Magazine! “It interrupts the flow,” Lorenson says, stressing that wellfitted show clothes are a must and you want to make your outfit seamless. She has a simple rule for an elegant outfit: match your chaps to your boots and your gloves to your jacket. If you have to cut corners, go consignment. If you decide to get a suit on consignment, budget for a suit or coat at about $600 up to $2,000, because it will depend on the maker and quality of fabric.

Greg was a friend to everyone, a true horseman, diplomat, and dedicated to the Morgan horse and everyone who was involved with the Morgan horse. He had been involved with the Morgan horse most of his life, growing up involved in the Morgan breed. His family owned and bred Morgans under the Chestnut Hill prefix. Many will remember Greg for his recent endeavours in the Western Pleasure division with his mare, Chestnut Hill Felicity. However, those involved in showing Morgans longer will know Greg was also very successful in many other disciplines as well; particularly trail! Greg competed across Canada and the United States, including at the Grand National. Although his show ring accomplishments are impressive, it is who he was as a person that was truly admirable. Greg always made a point to be encouraging, welcoming and kind. The Ontario Morgan Horse community has been left with a huge hole in its heart. The entire Morgan community sends their deepest sympathies to Geoff and Charlene, Mitchell and Madison Reeves, and Theresa White. Just like so many of us, I have been at an utter loss of words over Greg’s passing. He was like an uncle to me from the moment I joined the Morgan club. The first OMHC Classic I went to he was running the judging portion of the youth challenge. He made me feel welcomed and made sure I had an enjoyable time doing it. Greg and I had chosen the same placing and reasoning’s, and I ended up winning it that year. From that point on, I always seemed to do very well under Greg because we had the exact same idea on what a Morgan should be. Then at the Classic when I saw him and Chestnut Hill Felicity (Missy) go in the western pleasure class, I instantly fell in love with Missy. From that point on, I looked forward to most Morgan shows because I would get to see Greg and Missy go in the ring. I feel so privileged to have seen that combo go into so many classes. The shows just are not going to be the same without that duo in there, usually coming out as champions or reserve. Greg also played a major part in making my first OMHC Banquet memorable. I remember being in the hospitality room coloring quietly at the table. I was quite shy and did not like big crowds. Then Greg and Geoff Reeves came over and helped me color in and complete the activities in my CMHA book. That small gesture meant the world to me, and still to this day, it is one of the memories that has stuck with me the most. How he could take a little bit of time from making sure everyone had their drinks full to sit down and color with me. In recent years, Greg and I have had many small inside jokes. He always likes to bug us how he went to U of T and got two degrees in Literature. It was a joke he started to bug Lauren McGinty that he later used to bug me with. No matter what I would say or do, I was wrong because Greg had his two degrees and knew everything. He also liked to bug me to no end about how it is past my bedtime. It was not an unusual scene to see on my Facebook posts. If they were after 8 PM Greg would comment, telling me to go to bed. Some days I would bug him to let me stay up later and he would tease me about how I was a lost sheep. I was always breaking the rules (especially my bedtime) and he kept bugging our friend Sheila McNaughton that they needed to figure out a plan to control their lost sheep. I guess in the end I was not truly the lost sheep, but in fact, it was Greg. In time, things will begin to get a little easier, but nothing will ever be the same. I will always have these memories of Greg as each of us has memories of our own. We may have lost an amazing man who was always the life of a party. But at least we all got to know such a great man. No matter how short the time may have been. We will miss your joking nature. We will miss you and your RV pulling the horse trailer with Missy on board. We will miss seeing you and Missy in the ring. Especially showing us all what true horsemanship, class, style, and sportsmanship looks like. We will miss you pulling around your cooler on that little wagon at the horse shows. We will miss you trying to hide your beer under a towel. We will miss you at all the Morgan club events, especially the Classic, CNE (even though it is not around anymore) and the banquet. We will all miss you for different reasons and different aspects of our lives. However, I hope even though we all are missing you dearly that you have found peace. That you are finally free from whatever was haunting you here and that you are reading this and smiling. That you can see how many people your presence truly touched. That you can also see how many people looked up to you as a role model. That you can see how truly loved you were by so many people. I hope deep down that you are at peace, and that one day I will be able to see you again. When I do, you can bug me about your two degrees, how it is way past my bedtime, and how your lost sheep has finally come home. by Ashley Reeson as told in the Ontario Morgan Horse Club newsletter’s tribute to Greg Reeves Canadian Morgan 2015 March/April/May.indd 19 19 2015-03-09 12:15 PM CMHA Affiliated Morgan Horse Clubs British Columbia Interior President: Gunther Funk 4280 Schubert Road Armstrong, BC V0E 1B4 (250) 546-2891 Granite.Morgans@telus.net Secretary: Debbie Miyashita PO Box Canoe, BC V0E 1K0 (250) 804-2928 debbiem8@shaw.ca Manitoba The Keystone Province President, Dianne Brown Box 399 Manitou, MB R0G 1G0 204-246-2302 Dianne.Brown@inetlink.ca Manitoba Morgan Horse Club Since 1970 Secretary, Dorothy Heaman Box 4, Forrest MB R0K 0W0 204-761-7750 knolhaven@gmail.com manitobamorganhorseclub.com President: NEW BRUNSWICK The Morgan Horse Club of Nova Scotia PRESIDENT: Don Porter PO Box 303 Stewiacke, NS B0N 2J0 (902) 639-2832 SECRETARY: Bev Young 19 Lacy Anne Avenue Enfield, NS B2T 0A5 (902) 883-9908 ALBERTA President: President: Shari Groot S. 1, Box 28, R.R. # 1 Ponoka, AB T4J 1R1 403-783-5636 kgroot05@telus.net Secretary: Del Burns Lacombe, AB T4L 2N2 (403) 885-4992 cdpsb@telusplanet.net ONTARIO Jennifer Hatto 241 Isaiah Rd.Lutes Mountain, NB E1G 2Y2 506-862-9422 jennifer.scobie@yahoo.ca President: Genevieve Kendell-Hayes 222 Route 870 Collina, NB E5P 1P8 (506) 433-5725 Secretary: Christi Nye 318 Mount Horeb Road Lindsay, ON K9V 4R4 (705) 324-9680 gen@haywoodfarms.ca Secretary: Dawn Brown 53 Shoreview Dr. www.ontariomorgan.com Toronto, ON M1E 3R1 (647) 234-2820 SASKATCHEWAN President: Terry Dalziel Box 613 Oxbow, SK S0C 2B0 (306) 483-5138 306-421-0962 Secretary: Vacant is, SK S0G 1V0 384 il.com 20 March/April/May 2015 6/18/2011 2:34:51 PM 2015 March/April/May.indd 20 2015-03-09 12:15 PM GREENER PASTURES JOLAND OVATION May 8, 1984 – January 22, 2015 Retiring Joland Ovation from the show ring back in 2007 wasn’t difficult to do at all. Over the years, he had many outstanding achievements at Morgan and open horse shows, and he had proven to us he was special. On the morning of January 22 this winter, we said our final goodbyes to our special homebred superstar. It started when the family decided to send our typey little chestnut mare, Acoma Morningstar, to Saddleback Sensation, a gorgeous, outstanding bay Morgan stallion, for breeding. The result was our first foal, a handsome chestnut colt named Joland Ovation. As a yearling, “OV” was shown sparingly, and we had fun watching and playing with him during his early stages while he grew up. As a two-year old he was broke to harness by our good friend Lori Gajowski. Lori was living in Ontario and this was our first experience working with a professional trainer. They did very well together in the show ring. In 1986 he was Canadian-Bred Champion at the Ontario Morgan Classic. In the same year, at the Canadian National Exhibition (CNE) he won Champion Stallion and the 4 & Under Driving Class, competing against many top exhibitors. When our friend Lori moved back to B.C., OV was with her! They had a chemistry between them and they showed exceptionally well on the west coast. At the Far West Regional Morgan show, OV won Junior Park Saddle Champion as a four-year old. At the B.C. Morgan Show he won Reserve Champion Stallion. OV came back home to us and was gelded. He became an extraordinary Morgan for the Joyce grandchildren; Stephanie and Derek Ross, and Lisa, David and Danny Kavanagh. His new show career as a gelding began in the western, working hunter and hunter pleasure divisions. OV’s patience and laid-back attitude gave him a gentle walk, a comfortable jog or trot, and a quiet lope or canter in his new disciplines. During her junior exhibitor year, Lisa Kavanagh had great success showing OV in many youth classes. In 1999, OV won the Working Hunter Championship at the Ontario Morgan Classic. At the CNE, he placed third out of 20 entries in Hunter Seat Equitation. In 2001 at the New York State Breeders Show, OV went Western Pleasure Junior Exhibitor Champion. At the New York Amateur Morgan Show, Lisa and OV were the Western PleaLinda Ross with Chestnut Hill Specialty (OV’s best pal sure Junior these last few years) and OV with Stephanie Ross in Exhibitor 2013. Champions plus they continued their winning ways and won the Western Seat Equitation Championship! Lisa and David, throughOV and Lisa Kavanagh jumping at the Ontario out the Morgan Classic in 1999. 20012004 show seasons at the Classic, won Western Pleasure Junior Exhibitor Champion in consecutive years. OV was great for Stephanie and Derek Ross, and Danny Kavanagh for lead-line and walk-trot classes. Stephanie and OV over the past few years had shown at many Morgan and open shows and had great success and many wins in the junior exhibitor divisions. It was at the gymkhana show at the Markham Fair in 2004 that Stephanie and OV sparkled. They had winning classes against all breeds in the showmanship, hunter pleasure, hunt seat equitation, command class and steady hands classes. Each class consisted of about 15-18 entries, great promotion for the breed. Over the years, OV had many accomplishments that earned him CMHA “Justin Morgan” awards in Hunter Pleasure and Youth Hunter Pleasure, and a Gold Medallion in the VMMA. He also contributed to Lisa and David earning their Justin Morgan Honours in equitation. The last few years saw OV become our “Patron” at the farm for the riding lesson students. For beginning riders, OV would walk or slow jog without any problem during the lesson. He really helped build confidence. At age 29, his health started to decline. His kidneys and liver were beginning to fail him, but he never complained. He was quite happy to start living back indoors during the evening. He had been living outdoors 24/7 for the past few years but he made it clear he wasn’t keen about those arrangements any longer, and preferred the indoors during the hot days and cold nights. So he got his wish. We pampered him as best we could and let him have the run of the farm. It was extremely hard to find him in pain that morning. OV was a simple horse all these years, we never had to call the vet for any emergency for him. And it was our wish to end the pain and let him go on his way. He has earned his rest.
