IMO, Morgans and Arabians go hand in hand with their versatility and beauty. I love your blog because I can somewhat relate to the styles as far as tack and show clothes go in the ring. Some time ago, we had an Arabian stable stay at my boarding barn (all Morgans)...it was really neat watching the Arab's work and to kind of show off the Morgans too. Anyway, I know that the Morgan association is looking for ways to grow our numbers (as is every breed). For some reason, the amount of people interested in Morgans is quite low in comparison to Arabians and especially AQHA's. I don't quite get this, I appreciate all breeds, but seeing a nice Morgan (and Arab too) - it just takes my breath away, they are so so stunning - - - why are the numbers so low?JJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07876732061083507317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6053415389447235937.post-61251350650995688762009-05-27T08:13:17.059-07:002009-05-27T08:13:17.059-07:00great observations on the horses.. always learn fr...great observations on the horses.. always learn from you :)<br /><br />gpAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6053415389447235937.post-26451048860596941662009-05-26T15:07:25.269-07:002009-05-26T15:07:25.269-07:00"The show chair brought me into center ring on Sat..."The show chair brought me into center ring on Saturday night and told the crowd the story behind their retiring show manager, their fears they couldn't do a show without her, and how I had saved them.

I feel like I am meeting myself coming and going. <br /><br />Mrs Mom, show management is something I have a lot of experience doing so when this opportunity came up to make some money to help with my herd expenses I jumped at the chance. It was definitely more fun than a "real" job would have been. LOL<br /><br />jennybean, I don't feel like this was a "bad" experience with hot horses, I was just surprised because I had never heard that Morgans could be hot. As someone from a breed that is always getting slammed for being "hot" it just caught me off guard to see how hot these horses were.<br /><br />The reason I mentioned it here is because I had never heard anything at all that Morgans could be hot like this.It's certainly not how I had them pictured in my mind but I didn't think it was a bad thing. <br /><br />Obviously they are "a lot of horse" and that's OK with me. I saw a lot of beautiful horses and the people who love them are certainly devoted to them which is how it should be. All in all in was a fun time.......except for those 80 pound bales of shavings, that I could do without.

I show and own Morgan horses and am always happy to read about them :). I know you had a bad experience in a sense regarding some of the fire breathing dragons AKA Hot Morgans, but those are just a few. There really are alot of sensible, slow and steady Morgans out there too. It seems like the fiery showy ones have more of that knee popping action that garner more blues in the saddleseat and hunter seat classes.JJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07876732061083507317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6053415389447235937.post-16025406631882604642009-05-26T05:23:42.130-07:002009-05-26T05:23:42.130-07:00MiKael, I really admire you.

Show management has to be incredibly difficult, and for you to take it on, and agree to do it multiple times amazes me! <br /><br />Way to go!!<br /><br />Now I can't wait to see how the show went with your horses!!! ;)Mrs. Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15269132012512166439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6053415389447235937.post-32633325500120507902009-05-26T02:44:40.646-07:002009-05-26T02:44:40.646-07:00This is a busy time of year for you.
