Trail riding is one of our favorite past times. And this past Fall we
were
able to go out with a great group of people at Anne Wylands place to enjoy
the Fall colors as well as enjoying our Morgans. Dusky Duke, aka "Dude",
(Yankees Anhingo x Yankees Pleasure) 1995 flaxen chestnut, Kurt Homoki up,
and Dudes full sister Springlake Katefly (Yankees Anhingo x Yankees
Pleasure) 1999 black Morgan mare with Kristal Homoki up both enjoy trail
riding as much as their owners do. We love showing the versatility of the
Morgan horse to some many people we meet. Both Dude and Katie have been
shown in "A" rated shows as well as Open and 4-H shows. Dude also enjoys
being a pole bending horse as well as riding in Endurance rides for 3
years. |

Snowdancers Amber Esprit (Snowdancers Esprit d’or x Snowdancers Falcon Price) I went with my mare to the Netherlands to follow a clinic in free dressage and everybody loved her. They never saw a Morgan before, exept the one who was given the clinic. She owns 2 Morgans and was happy to have finaly a Morgan in her clinics. We did enjoy the 3 days clinic and Amber was amazing. She learned a lot of things in only 3 days. Diana Jassica |

Our annual fall event at Brookridge Morgans is the Southern Model
Horse Convention, now in its 21st year and always held the first
Saturday in October. SouthCon was designed as a way to promote Morgans amongst model horse hobbyists. It works- several SouthCon
regulars now own and breed Morgans! -submitted by Laura Behning |

Silvershoe Colorado Moab is registered with the AMHA and has been a great ambassador for the gaited Morgan and for all Morgan horses. His flashy faux silver dapple color is a real eye catcher. Moab has been promoting at public venues such as Farm Fest in Springfield Missouri where attendance last year was calculated at 75,000. Silvershoe Colorado Moab also made a guest appearance as a member of the Ozark Morgan Horse club at the Horse Fest last March which is an annual event in Springfield Missouri as well. We talked to many people who were just being introduced to Morgans, and were happy to see the many colors that Morgans can be. Moab is owned by Missouri Morgan. Submitted by Vali Suddarth |

This is Blue Diamond Jester ( Snowbird x Speedramp Walker) performing at the 142nd Joust. When a friends daughter expressed an interest in participating, she asked to borrow one of my horses. Even though Jessy is a stallion, I knew he could be counted on to behave himself in an environment he's never been in before. Amanda had never ridden him, nor had either of them Jousted. Many people came by the trailer to see this gorgeous horse and find out more about him. Horse visitors said they didn't know Morgans came in other colors than dark. He was a hit! The newspaper people took tons of pictures and posted him on their web site, more than any other horse. submitted by Trish Brown |

THERAPUTIC COLORFUL MORGAN OF 2008! Elnoresh Royal Rum born may 6 2008 The foal was just 20 min old, when my son came over to barn to see the first baby born that year.My son did not talk much and has a speak problem. He sat down beside the new born foal and we told him the foal name was Regal. He called him Reggie and still to this day. My son from that day on started talking more to the foals. He takes his step and climb on it to see all the foals daily, My foals born at Elnoresh Morgan have helped my son talk. Horses are wonderful animals for helping people, especially morgans as they are people horses. Picture taken by my 14 yr old daughter Desha Hamade Liz Robb |

I had 3 backsurgies, the last two being spinal fusions. I own my own horses but after the last 2 surgeries, began to suffer from a post traumatic fear of riding horses. My very good friend Kris Breyer, who has a natural talent for "fixing" people, was gently pushing me to try to ride Merri. She had told me how Merri had a "rocking horse" ride and that it would not hurt my back. It took a while before I agreed to get on her, and I nervously steered Merri around the barn for about a 1/2 an hour. Finally, feeling a great deal more confident, I was pestered Kris, and my daughter to go for a short trail ride in the local woods. Char Gordon |

Mystik’s Scotch Ripple” (KRP Cocoa x RL Pretty Penny) was the first and only Morgan on our acreage and was purchased when he was 4 years old as a pony replacement for Michelle, my 15 year old daughter. Through the 4-H program, Michelle and Ripple were partners as they developed their skills, understanding and bonded over the next two years. Ripple was exposed to many different situations and would put his trust in Michelle to help him through the rough spots, and in turn Michelle matured into a confident and accomplished young adult. The picture was taken just prior to Michelle’s graduation in June 2008 and demonstrates the trust they have in each other. Ripple is the first to the fence to meet and greet, and the farriers appreciate his quiet demeanor as they can trim all four of his feet with true liberty. As Michelle is pursuing her next life challenges and career goals, Ripple is enjoying the attention of young girls who have appreciated horses from afar. As the girls learn the basics of grooming and riding, Ripple patiently offers his kindness and trustworthiness completing the circle until he and Michelle can again ride the wind. Photo compliments of Ripple’s owner - Lynda, Lacombe, Alberta, Canada. Submitted by: |

In August of 2008, my daughter Christie Batka had the privilege of riding BPM Trece De Mayo in a Morgan breed demonstration at the Northern Illinois Horse Fest.

Gone Gold, aka Roadie, (Adiel's Casino Gold x Kennebec Topaz) a 2002
palomino stallion that just loves to play. Not a day goes by where Roadie
isn't playing with something. He plays with bucket, cones, ropes and just
about anything he can get his "mouth" on. Roadie doesn't just play with
these toys he uses them to his advantage. I have actually seen him go out
of his way to go get a toy on one side of his pasture and bring it over to
the mares to get their attention. He will throw the toy over the fence at
them to get them to play and give him attention. Now that is a boy with
an
agenda I would say. But with a great horse like this trying to get his
attention to get nice pictures can be a very trying time. So when a
friend
of mine had this huge traffic cone I just knew I had to use it!! This
would
get Roadies attention and bring those lovely little ears up for some nice
pictures. Or at least I thought so, Roadie had other plans he just
waltzed
right over to that BIG cone and picked it up and gave me a look that only
a
Morgan can give. "What is this for me to play with?" Well now this BIG
cone is a smashed pile in his pasture that Roadie still plays with. |
