hello all,

Many of us have concerned ourselves with the survival of some of our smaller shows as well as our regionals and the also the market for a Morgan that might not be competitive at OKC, but could do just fine on a local or even regional level.

  As a solution, we were wondering if some qualifying changes could be helpful. If we contstructed our Grand National qualifying system differently we could maybe support more shows and some more local shows. If we required a horse/rider to qualify (same guidelines as far as which ribbons qualify you) by getting a qualifying ribbon (I think it’s 1-8th place) in two (instead of the current one) classes at regional shows (as opposed to regional OR non-regional shows as it is now) then we’d at least have horses that go to either 2 regionals, or they show back in their championship at the one they go to. However, in order to support the smaller shows, we could require that a horse show in and complete a class (or 2…not sure ) at a non-regional show in order to qualify for the regional. SO…in order for a horse to go to OKC and become a world champion, they’d have to have been to 2 shows…one to qualify for regionals and a regional to qualify for OKC.  How would everyone feel about this idea?? I’m mostly curious because it came up on another list and we wondered how people would feel. Personally, I have no issue with it. What are everyone else’s thoughts??

Just a shout out to anyone who will be at Jubilee. I’m going to be there with my baby girl (equine baby of course). She’s going to be showing in the weanling in-hand and futurity classes.

Does anyone know who the photographer is at NEMHS this year?

As of last night I have updated the Shows page to include links to results for the Southern California June Classic, Indianapolis Charity, Connecticut Morgan, and Jersey Classic.  Also, links to proofs for the Indianapolis Charity and Connecticut Morgan.

I have recently had the opportunity to show at Topsfield Fairgrounds and found it to be a great place to show with fantastic footing and a great indoor arena.  Does anyone else feel the same and/or is anybody going to attend the next show there, the NEFHC? There is lodging close by and in general it is convenient to many equine needs.  Your thoughts?

I would love to anyone attending the show this weekend. Also, we are looking for volunteers to man the gates and clerk with the announcer on Friday afternoon and Saturday. Let me know if you have some free time.
