P.S. We posted a neat video featuring one of our longstanding members – Fred Herrick – on the site.  He shares his memories of his early times in the ring at the NEMHS.  This was filmed this summer prior to his induction into the Hall of Fame.  You’re not going to want to miss it

The annual tack sale is coming up fast and is by far the best tack sale in the state. Now held at Pinckney High School in Pinckney, MI, which means there is more parking and more spaces available. Everything from show and work tack to jewelry and clothing can be found, both new and used. Tables still available, heres the website for more information.

House on left, what's left of garage door and garage, right

On October 12 my husband and I suffered an electrical problem in our garage which burned to the ground along with one of our cars. The fire then jumped to the house. No horses were injured but we lost most of the home as well as seven of our dogs. We also run a dog rescue out of our home, Dachshund Rescue NW, since 1991. So we had to shut down the dog rescue for a while when rebuilding. The horses are all okay but we will have to board them this winter when we are rebuilding in the winter snow.

I managed to save 16 more dogs and two old cats before the home burned so Dennis and I are thankful for that. I seared my lungs running in a burning house, but well worth it to save our beloved wiener dogs and two older cats. I am healing up a little each day, but it will be nice to be breathing right once again.

Please keep us in your thoughts and prayers.

Sincerely,
Margo Mossburg

FENCE QUESTIONS!!1 =)

I have been looking for some horse fencing, the vinyl type, and was wondering if anyone has bought any good or bad horse fence from certain companies. Or if anyone has any ideas where to get it. I have heard that certain vinyl fence will crack or shatter if a horse gets into it after a couple years because it breaks down from being in the weather…

I was also wondering what kind of fencing people prefer or have had good/bad experiences with.

I do not like the wire fencing, but I was thinking wood fence maybe, since it is not as expensive and I would therefore be able to fence more. I like the look of the vinyl fence, but I also like the look of the black fence like everyone has in Kentucky.

That is all. Thank you! ~Jess

I have gone to a lot of open shows recently and there is a lot of variety of classes so I was wondering what classes people would find interesting that we dont have now at the morgan A rated shows. These are a few that I have competed in and enjoyed:

Ranch Horse Trail

Halter- Western (I know we have sport horse and in hand, but not any western)

Showmanship 18 & Over

Equitation 18 & Over (with or without patterns, sometimes they are seperated)

I cant think of any others off the top of my head, I am sure there are more, but I just wanted to see what everyone thought…. Thanks

The sale will feature consignments from many nationally known breeding farms and training facilities including Stonecroft Farm, Grove Point Farm, Triumph Stables, Harry Sebring, Saralin Morgans, David Earehart, Waterford Farm, Selvin Torrez, Morgan Horse Farm, Copper Beech LLC, Merriehill Farm, Mary Carlton, Cadence Farm, Nancy Flower, Lookaway Farm, and Taylor River Farm.

In addition to the Morgan auction, a Consignment Tack Auction is to be held on Friday, April 3. This is being presented by Todd Woodruff and will begin at 7:00pm also at The Champions Center in Springfield, Ohio.
