Ancan Rumors in the Aire

(Fiddler’s Blackriver x FCF Snapdragon)

Beautiful bay gelding who loves to work.  14.2 hh and 4 yrs old.  You won’t find a smoother horse!!  Rumor is soft in the bridle, easily sets his head and moves off your legs.  He is friendly and will follow you around the pasture.  He is well started, and acted like a seasoned pro in his debut at the Wheatstate Regional Morgan Horse Show.  He has beautiful tiny ears and is an incredible mover.  The slowest and smoothest western gait you could ask for, but would also probably do hunt.  He stops quickly and walks off quietly.  His owners have several more for sale as well and need to cut down on their herd.  DVD available upon request.  Priced to sell quickly at $3500 or make an offer. For more information contact Kelly Kraegel Varner at 405-471-4031 or email at kellymrc@cox.net  Or Amie Van Dorn at (405)740-7600 or amie@vintagelegacyfarm.com Or Genny Van Dorn at (405)760-2391.  A good home is a must!!! 

Where do you buy blankets for your horses?  I would love to be able to afford the custom ones from RaDon, but my boys are too tough on blankets to pay that much. I know Schneiders has one blanket that they say is made to fit morgans, arabs and ASBs but I’m alittle sceptical. State Line Tack, Dovers and most other sites are geared more towards QH, TBs and Warmbloods. I’m at a bit of a loss as to where I should be looking… are there some unknown secret sites that I’m missing?

The USEF has videos from the Grand National up on its Club Equestrian page.  It’s right on the front page at Equestrian.org.  I just watched the first one without sound, and they look really well-done.  Anyone know who did these videos?

The front page videos are sorted by “most recent”, so the Morgan videos may not be front and center for too long.  Still, pretty cool breed exposure.

I would like to congratulate Judy Bodman of Boulder Colorado on her purchase of “Ting.”

Judy and Ting found each other in Oklahoma this year and are sure to make a great team.  Ting is now under the training of Dale and Terry Rickford and will be shown on the West Coast next season.  Look for Judy in the Master’s Western Division.

I hope that Judy enjoys Ting as much as I did.  She is a lovely woman who devotes her spare time to caring for sheltered and needy animals.  Ting has truly won the “horsey lottery” by finding such a caring owner.  We couldn’t be more pleased by his placement with Judy.

Thanks to everyone who inquired about Ting and sent well wishes for a great new home for him.
