S
eptember 8 to 10, 2011, was the 22nd year of the TELUS sponsored Battle of the Breeds at Spruce Meadows. The “Battle”
is held in conjunction with The Masters, a major, world class
jumping competition at the fabulous Spruce Meadows facility
on the southern outskirts of Calgary, AB. This year, the world famous
RCMP Musical Ride was a featured event of the nearly week-long tournament.
Various horse breeds enter teams of four humans and four horses in five
events to compete in the TELUS Battle of the Breeds to claim the title of
champion. The events that they compete in are:
1) The Compulsory Skills competition can loosely be defined as Dressage, but with the first team member riding their horse and the second
driving their horse.
2) Jeopardy Jumping is pretty much like regular show jumping with 10
fences, but with a choice of a smaller jump beside the regular jump with
the option of jumping either and proportionate points awarded.
3) Precision Driving is Obstacle Driving with cones and tennis balls,
backup, water hazards and so on. Both team members drive in this event.
4) Barrel Racing is unique with four barrels instead of three. There is
a second run for the top six teams. The points from the second go are the
ones that count for the final placings.
5) Trail is Trail and can be ridden English or Western. There are about
15 obstacles with various points from 10 to 50 and a time limit of 150 seconds. It is held in the outdoor grass arena “Meadows on the Green,” which

is the size of an international soccer field if not bigger.
Each breed enters a team of four horse/rider combinations and two team
members compete in each event and each horse/rider must compete in at
least two events. The team members’ scores are added together and the
team with the highest score receives the first place ribbons for that event.
A draw order is established for each event with one team member competing in the first half followed in the same order by the second teammate.
The events are designed to test the stamina and skills of each horse/rider
combination.
There are bonus obstacles in Jeopardy Jumping and Trail Riding. The
bonus obstacle is worth 100 points and, when the time is up, the rider must
indicate whether they wish to try the bonus. If achieved, you earn an additional 100 points; if not, you lose 100 points. For example, if your score
was 270 and you made the bonus, your final score would be 370. If you
failed, it would be 170. This is where strategy enters into it, since this can
make or break a team’s chances.
Thursday featured two events: Compulsory Skills in the morning and
Jeopardy Jumping in the afternoon. Friday also had two events: Precision
Driving at noon and Barrel Racing in the afternoon. Saturday had Trail
Riding in the morning.
This year, there were 10 teams entered. Most of the competitors are
from Alberta, but most of the teams, at one time or another, have drawn
competitors from outside Alberta and even outside Canada. The mules
(while not technically a breed, are big fan and media favourites) drew

he snow has yet to fall as I
write this, but we all know
that it’s coming.... sooner
rather than later, I’m afraid!
For those of us lucky enough to have
indoor riding facilities, it doesn’t mean
the end of the riding season, but it certainly means the beginning of cold fingers
and toes.
Speaking of the cold, what better way
to warm up on one of those dreary winter nights that are looming ahead, than to
cozy up with your November/December
issue of Canadian Morgan magazine!
We have quite a few articles to keep you
reading, including the top story: our win
at the 2011 TELUS Battle of the Breeds.
Our victory at this competition—that includes Jumping, Driving, Dressage and
Barrel Racing—really is a true testament
to the versatility of the Morgan breed.
Our Morgans also won some awards
under the spotlight in Oklahoma and here
at home. And, finally, we also have stories
from a couple of trail rides that have taken
place recently, both of which sounded like
they were a lot of fun!
Whether it’s showing under saddle, inhand or in harness, on our home soil or
abroad, riding in the arena or on the trail,
the Morgan breed has proved its mettle
once again in 2011!
So, take a moment out of your busy
holiday season to raise a glass to your
Morgan horse.
Happy riding... and reading!

A Time to Give Thanks
A
s we come to the close of another year, we think of activities
and achievements of 2011. It is also a special time to be with
family and friends as we celebrate the Christmas season
and the holidays that go with it. In our fast paced, modern
society we sometimes lose our focus, not only at Christmas, but also
throughout the year. Christmas is a celebration for Christians of the birth of
Jesus Christ, but we lose sight of that in the crush of commercialism that
has evolved in the last half of the 20th Century and the first decade of the
21st Century.
In similar fashion, we lose sight of the importance of family, friends and
volunteers and start taking them for granted. At this time, I want to salute
all the people who volunteer not only in our Morgan family, but also in
all walks of life. Without all these people donating their time, money and
talents we would not enjoy the level of many of the recreational activities
that we do.
In our Morgan family, we have members at the national, provincial,
regional and local levels that enrich us with their devotion. These people
come into our lives in many different ways and often we do not pause to
reflect on these new friendships, on how they came to be, or on how they
changed our lives.
I am very fortunate as President of the CMHA to have an excellent
group of board members to work with. The financial circumstances of the
world are challenging for many individuals as well as our club. It is imperative that we have devoted, selfless individuals volunteering for all the

O
n this glorious
autumn day, I sit at
my desk and think
about everyone who
journeyed to Oklahoma City with
their Morgans to compete at the
Grand Nationals. I was not fortunate enough to attend this year,
but my Canadian pride and best
wishes went with everyone who
did attend!
In my last office notes I
touched on some important milestones in Morgan history. Here are
Photo by Joy Photography
a few more that I hope you find
interesting:
1939: The first National Morgan Horse Show was held in Woodstock, Vermont.
1951: The US Morgan Horse Farm was taken over by the State of Vermont, becoming the University of Vermont Morgan Farm. Morgan judges
were listed in the CEF roster of judges (now EC).
1952: The Morgan Horse Show Division was recognized by the American
Horse Shows Association.
1962: Morgan rules were printed in the CEF rule book (now EC).
1973: The first annual Grand National Morgan Horse Show was held in
Detroit, Michigan.
1974: The first ever Grand National title awarded to a Canadian owned
Morgan is Aristippi for Trail owned by Kay and Jack Reeves.
1975: The CMHA award system is started.
1976: The First Justin Morgan Honour Awards are given out.
1985: Morgan horses, Kennebec Count and Kennebec Russell, represented
the US in the World Pairs Driving Championship in Sandringham, England.

duties that are required
to get the job done.
It is easy to recognize the people who
hold elected positions,
but many volunteers
behind the scenes
are largely unknown.
This has become very
apparent during my
involvement with the
TELUS Battle of the
Breeds. We have volunteers that come year after year, go unrecognized, but
have contributed much to the victories that our team and our breed have
enjoyed. Where do you start and where do you stop if you begin naming
individuals? I will simply say, “I appreciate your contributions.”
Thank you to all the members who have taken the time to write, email or
phone me with suggestions and words of encouragement. I truly appreciate
it.
Cec and I wish you all good health, a very merry Christmas, a happy
New Year and much joy and pleasure as we “Share the Passion” with our
Morgan horse(s) in 2012.
Steele. The US postal service issued commemorative stamps depicting the
Morgan horse. Reciprocity with the US begins January 1.
1988: The AMHA’s permanent home was established in Shelburne, Vermont. The Canadian Morgan Horse Club becomes the Canadian Morgan
Horse Association.
1992: The Versatile Morgan Medallion Award system begins.
2006: The first ever Double Platinum VMMA is awarded to Spring Hills
Justina and owner Jean Bridges. The AMHA begins a moratorium on registering unregistered ancestors in the reciprocity program (CMHA & BMHS).
2009: Fees for part-Morgans and non-members are increased. The first
ever Trail Justin Morgan is awarded to Ffort William, owned by Prue Critchely of Manitoba. The first time one owner has received two Platinum VMMAs for two different horses occurred when Nanjo’s Mr. Bean and Nipper’s
Dream Valley won Platinum awards for owner Lynn Marriott of Ontario.
I hope you enjoyed our trip down memory lane; if you have important
milestones that you would like to share with me, please forward them to the
CMHA office. I am sure there are many more “firsts” out there to remember!

randview Acres and Kimlina Morgans
enjoyed a most successful 2011 Grand
National and World Championship
Morgan Horse Show bringing home the
roses with their two lovely mares, BMF Whisper of
Love and Miz Scarlett. This success was thanks to the
wonderful support, expertise and guidance of Sonja
Lorenson, Cold Creek Inc. and team Trafalgar, Greg
Ferguson and Daryl Hopson.
BMF Whisper of Love was crowned the 2011
Classic Pleasure Saddle Ladies World Champion after
winning both of her qualifying classes earlier in the
week in Oklahoma City. This six-year-old daughter of
Aftershock.com was the unanimous choice of the judges
for the Grand National Champion Classic Pleasure
Saddle Mares title. Her consistency showed by claiming
the Grand National Champion Classic Pleasure Saddle Ladies Mares title the
following day. “Mint” is lovingly owned by Bernd and Nathalie Langstaedtler
of Grandview Acres, was bred by Harvey and June Sawatsky of Birch
Meadow Farms and is exhibited by Nathalie Langstaedtler.
Miz Scarlett trotted her way to the 2011 Classic Pleasure Saddle Junior
Horse Reserve World Champion title with the signature style of her World
Champion sire, Mizrahi. “Blush” exhibited the manners, beauty and
athleticism necessary to shine at this level of competition. Her show season
included numerous In-Hand wins and the 3-Year-Old English Pleasure title at
Far West Regional before making the switch to the Classic Pleasure division.
Miz Scarlett is owned and was bred by Roger and Patricia Poulin of Kimlina
Morgans and is exhibited by Nathalie Langstaedtler.
As the announcer calling Mint’s WC class said, there was “an international
flair” to the world championships that night - Yeah, Canada!

7th Annual Whistler’s Morgan
Farm Fall Ride/Drive/Potluck
by Laurie Willert
H
ad a great time September 18 when 19 horses rode out and,
especially exciting for me, six Whistler’s Morgan Farm
mares from the herd (leaving only the two-year-old gelding
and Royal behind!) and 7 Whistler’s horses all together. Can
you believe that I was able to put together bridles for all 6? I thought that
was pretty impressive!
The weather was lovely, all of the horses were excellent, supper was
wonderful and we all just had a blast! Can’t tell you how happy I am that
we decided to do the ride again this year. Hope to see even more folk next
year! CM

team members from Montana, Oregon and BC for several years. One team
previously had competitors from California and this year several competitors were from BC and Saskatchewan.
Team Morgan has had competitors from BC and Ontario in years gone
by, but this year it was an all-Alberta team. It was interesting that two riders
and two horses were from the Calgary area and two horses and two riders
were from the Edmonton area. The horses on this year’s team were all dark
colored with little or no white, the two older horses slightly over 14hh,
while the two younger horses were over 15 hands. They looked very nice
parading in the international ring on Saturday afternoon and Sunday wearing their coolers.
The stands were packed and people were sitting on the grass along
the fences in the arena during the parade and presentation ceremony. The
Calgary Herald reported Saturdays attendance “a record Spruce Meadows
crowd of 79,489” and Sunday “89,632 elated Spruce Meadows Masters
patrons, a record crowd.”
This year, 16-year veteran Aline Young was again our chef d’equipe and
responsible for the booth. We also had several people from throughout Alberta, including long-time supporters and volunteers Julie Franke and Faye
Stone, assisting in various capacities in the booth and with the horses.
Our Battle team this year was anchored by Cec Watson (team captain)
and Deb Clary, both with a dozen or more years experience on the team.
Our other two members, although relatively young, were experienced riders
in Jumping. The team consisted of Cec Watson and our horse 25-year-old
black gelding JMF Beam Walker; Deb Clary and her horse, the 19-year-old
black stallion TLR Night Image; Liam Kronlund riding the 10-year-old dark
chestnut gelding Blue Diamond Dancer for the Baers family; and Josefina
Kaderabek riding the eight-year-old bay gelding Tamracs Quantum Command for Marissa Baker. Team Morgan’s representatives and their placings
were as follows:
Compulsory Skills - Cec drove, Liam rode; they placed 1st.
Jeopardy Jumping - Liam & Josefina rode; they placed 5th.
Precision Driving - Cec & Deb drove; they placed 2nd.
Barrel Racing - Liam & Josefina rode; they placed 5th.
Trail Riding - Cec & Deb rode; they placed 1st.
The 10 teams this year finished in the following order:
1. Morgan
2. Appaloosa
3. American Saddlebred
4. Paint
5. Connemara
6. Arabian
7. Shetland
8. American Quarter Horse
9. Canadian Horse

011 was a great year for Canadians at the Grand National and
World Championship Morgan Horse Show held each year in
Oklahoma City. Competing among some of the best Morgans
in North America is a terrific experience, not to mention just
being there to watch, as I was this year. Congratulations to the handlers,
riders, drivers and their horses who competed and who all received top
ten placings, including a few who rose to the top! Canadian-owned horses showing this year were from the West coast
(Maple Ridge, BC) to the East coast (Stewiacke, NS) and included: Hope
Floats owned by Jeff and Candace Rolls and shown by trainer Greg Ferguson; Northern Exposure owned and shown by Kathy Padgham; Avonroy Cool Hand Luke owned and shown by Angela Padgham, Ann de St

Supreme Justin Morgan
Honour Awards!
by Dawn Brown,
Ara-Li Acres
T
he cool Saturday evening of the Sunrise
Summer Classic Horse Show, June 18,
2011, was the venue for a special ceremony. The stands of the Princess Louise Show Park Sussex in New Brunswick were filled
with friends and family to witness the occasion. A
combined Arabian Legion of Honour and Supreme
Justin Morgan Honour presentation was held to celebrate the achievements of two horses: 11-year-old
Arabian mare Fadjura’s Ajiba NA+ bred by Jessie
MacLean, owned and shown by 18-year-old Zara
Morrison; and 16-year-old Lippitt Morgan stallion
Amadeus Mozart Ara-Li* bred by Rev. David Keith,
owned and shown by Dawn and Walter Brown. Both
of these horses were foaled in the Sussex area.
The evening was enhanced with live music
supplied by vocalist
Shirley Cochran and
pianist Karen Gallagher
(anyone who attended
the last CMHA convention in New Brunswick
would have seen them
as part of “The Hoof
Beats”). Vanessa Packman served as master
of ceremonies and
Ceci Flanagan-Snow
was photographer and
publicist.
The singing of O’
Canada began the evening with Marlene Gallon and Shato’s Captain
Morgan Carrying the
Canadian Flag.
The program
proceeded as Dawn Brown and Amadeus Mozart Ara-Li* performed a
freestyle Driven Dressage routine to Shirley and Karen’s rendition of
“Don’t Sit Under the Apple Tree.” Melissa Mackenzie, CMHA East
Vice President, then presented Mozart with the Supreme Justin Morgan
Honour plaque and a garland of red roses was placed around his neck.
Mozart then exited the arena.
Zara Morrison entered riding Fadjura’s Ajiba NA+, halted to a salute
and proceeded to performed an energetic Dressage Freestyle to an
ethnic piece. Followed by Stacey Maxwell presenting the Legion of
Honour plaque and then a garland of red roses was placed around her
neck.
Mozart, ridden by Dawn, then entered the arena to join Zara and
Ajiba in a Pas de Deus ridden to Shirley and Karen’s performance of
“Paper Moon.”
Following the festivities, all in attendance were invited back to the
barn for a slice of celebratory cake! CM

Poker Derby Trail Ride
A winning event for all!
by Babs Hamilton
I
t was windy, it was cold and the sun fought hard to shine
through some fairly dismal looking clouds. However, the
gloomy weather didn’t dampen the spirits of some 18 participants who turned out to show their support for the Equine
Foundation of Canada’s (EFC) Poker Derby Trail Ride on that Saturday morning, September 17.
Hosted at Irene and Morris Clarke’s farm in the beautiful Assiniboine Valley north of Oak Lake, MB, the riders consisted of men,
women and kids of all ages from 12 to 79 years old. They travelled
from as far away as Esterhazy and Oxbow, SK, as well as locally from
Boissevain, Elkhorn and Virden. There was a colourful display of
horses as well that included sorrels, blue roans, Paints, Appaloosas,
Palominos as well as a team of Belgians to pull a wagon filled with

those wishing to tag along.
After an initial role of the dice to start the Poker Derby
(participants could also throw dice for “ghost” hands), the
group started off with hot coffee and morning snacks before
embarking on their journey through the beautifully coloured
autumn scenery. Among gold harvested fields and gentle green
and rust coloured rolling hills, the troop headed out behind
their host and leader Morris Clarke, a striking figure of a man
upon his well seasoned and travelled Morgan gelding, Cody.
Along the way, the group stopped for a brief lunch in a
small clearing surrounded by trees on one side and fresh round
bales on the other and was met by the “rear party” to, once
again, role the dice and take their chance at winning the evening’s jackpot. After a short snooze (by both horses and riders)
they saddled up, loaded the wagon and continued on their way
under still-cloudy skies and amidst cold blowing winds.
As late afternoon descended on the valley, the riders were
welcomed upon their return by a wonderful warm fire and tables
laden with hardy fare and the feast was shared by all. A couple of
tables were filled with Silent Auction items hosted by the Manitoba Morgan Horse Club and as everyone meandered and mingled
around, they threw their last dice and placed their bids on the
great items offered by the auction before tackling the dessert table.
Soon enough, though, darkness started making its way in and
some retreated to their trailers while others loaded up and headed
home. It was a great day and with some 12 miles of riding behind
them that day, all were tired, but still excited about starting the
whole process over again the next morning! This time, however;
they were promised sunny skies and Mother Nature did not
disappoint.
The weekend proved to be a wonderful event where avid
rider—and a few non-riders—shared the camaraderie and amity
of those who also believed in putting their best foot/hoof forward
for a worthy cause: The Equine Foundation of Canada. A total of
$415 was collected for the EFC that September weekend!
Not only did the EFC come out smiling, but so did the participants. Even those that did not hold a money-winning hand had
plenty to smile about. The event was a huge hit thanks to them
and their hosts, the Clarke’s!
Thank you to all for making the event such a great success! CM

Equine Foundation of Canada
helps 3D research jump
forward
Y
ou have seen the marvels of 3-D cinema whether it was
Thor’s hammer hurling toward you or maybe it was
Superman Returns at the IMAX. Ultra sound technology has
also developed 3-D capabilities and it is evolving faster than
a speeding bullet, with more accuracy than a CAT scan. What this means
for researchers is a more detailed picture when making diagnosis and an
accurate, simple way to track the results of treatment modalities potentially
without using a more invasive biopsy.
With a recent donation from the Equine Foundation of Canada,
University of Guelph researcher, Dr. Heather Chalmers, is able to add a
new dimension to her research focusing on early screening of roaring and
may lead to earlier treatment. Roaring, or laryngeal paralysis, is a very
common disease which can affect any breed or discipline of horse.
This progressive disease results in the inability to open the upper airway
at exercise, which limits performance and actually leads to a roaring sound.
Owners who hear a gurgling sound or an increase in noise when the horse
is breathing are encouraged to seek veterinary advice.
“The new 3-D ultrasound unit can also be used to monitor and diagnose
tendon injuries, as shown in this image.”
The goal of Chalmers’ research is to provide horse owners with a
reliable, easy, readily available and inexpensive way to screen horses for
roaring prior to clinical signs of the disease. This allows horse owners or
a potential horse purchaser to career plan for their horses, determining
potential or limiting factors. Chalmers’ is very excited about the donation
of new equipment this past summer. “When it comes to ultrasound, 3-D
allows us to look at the tissues in greater detail, to get a more accurate
assessment of the size and exact location of abnormalities and to monitor
them accurately over time.”
Assessing the size of the upper airway muscles helps researchers
understand more about their function and disease status. Chalmers
explains: “We know from our own experience, working out in the gym, a
muscle that gets bigger is stronger and more functional. After interventions
by Linda Brewer
I
the ultra sound will be able to keep track of changes to see if the smaller
diseased muscle has responded with an increase in size.”
The next step in Chalmers’ research is to solidify the long-suspected link
between what is seen on the ultrasound screen and what can be found under
the microscope if a biopsy were performed.
It is important to fully establish:
1) How early disease can be detected in horses,
2) How accurately it can be done,
3) The rate at which the disease progresses once detected.
3-D Ultrasound is helping researchers understand all three of these
questions. Research funding has been provided by Equine Guelph,
American College of Veterinary Radiology, Medel Austria, Robarts
Imaging Institute at the University of Western Ontario and The Equine
Foundation of Canada.

The Master’s Touch
t is with great sadness that Broadmoor must inform the Morgan
horse community that The Master’s Touch has died. This great
stallion passed away at his Broadmoor home on Monday, September 26th at the age of 26. “Matt,” as he was affectionately
known to Mike Goebig and Dwayne Knowles of Broadmoor, was the
only horse in the history of the Morgan breed to have won the World
Open Park Saddle Championship four times. In 1989, as a four-yearold, Matt beat his father, then the current world champion, Serenity
Masterpiece. He went on to win the World Open Park Saddle Championship again in 1990, 1991 and 1994.
A very successful breeding stallion, Matt had many successful
offspring, including World Ladies Park Harness Champion, CEN Can’t
Touch This; Reserve World Three-Year-Old English Pleasure Champion, The Gifted Touch; World Two-Year-Old Park Harness Champion,
The Magic Touch; Grand National Three-Year-Old Park Harness Mare
and Gelding Champion, CN The Valiant Touch; and World Amateur
Park Saddle Champion, CN The Masters Flyte.
Matt continued to breed mares
until the ripe old age of 25. His
legacy continues through The
Master’s Touch mares that have
proven to be exceptional broodmares.
This horse of a lifetime was
owned by Cindy Nord, who
entrusted her beloved Matt to
the care and training of Mike
Goebig, who rode him to those
unprecedented World Championships.
For all who have ever seen this stallion perform, or watched him
regally stand sentry in his stall, or owned a horse with his linage, or just
appreciated greatness, the loss of this iconic stallion is deeply felt.
Matt was buried in the outdoor arena, where he can keep a close eye
on Mike and Dwayne working horses (and also on his mares!). He will
be sorely missed.

J
MF Beam Walker is the epitome of Justin Morgan: small, fast and versatile, a true
“Morgan horse.” At age 25, Blackie—like fine wine—just gets better with age as
evidenced by his best-ever results at the Battle of the Breeds.
Blackie and his teammates were again crowned champions at the Spruce Meadows
TELUS Battle of the Breeds as Team Morgan won its 5th
championship in the past 12 years. JMF Beam Walker
and Cec Watson had the individual high score in both
Precision Skills (Dressage) and Trail Riding out of 20
competitors and they tied for 3rd in Obstacle Driving.
In addition, in 2011 he participated in the Southern

regular duties as a lesson and therapeutic riding program
