A few months ago there was some discussion about equitation patterns. At the time I suggested I might add a Resources section to this site which could include a section for practice patterns. Well, I never followed through on that, partly because a few folks who promised to send me patterns I could use never did. But, I did just come across a site that’s got some patterns that some of you might find helpful.

I have a 19″ Borelli cutback saddle for sale. Surprisingly nice leather, brand new and show quality. If you would like pictures, email me at bethany.towne@yahoo.com. Asking $500 – make an offer!
Also- does anyone have information on the stallion Black Tuxedo By Armani? I have a filly sired by him, and she was originally bought at the Mid-A Breeder’s Auction. I have looked and looked for information but have not found much at all.
Thanks so much!

Does anyone know where I can find/if I can find equitation patterns from previous Grand Nationals? I’m starting a binder to practice with during the off season. So far I can only find the ones from this year and last year. Any help is GREATLY appreciated!!!

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

To the trainers/instructors: What are some exercises you use to strengthen your equitation riders? I’m looking for stretches/positions that can be done both on and off the lunge line to help riders of all seats.
Riders/students: What exercises do you think have helped you the most? I’d like input even on the exercises you hate doing
I ask this because we’ve recently started taking eq. kids to bigger shows. They all have great seats and balance, but I feel like some of the lack that crispness that the great riders possess. I’ve been teaching for 5-6 years, but previously focused more on the horsemanship side of things, and would really like to be able to put together a decent eq. rider. I never showed eq at the class A shows, so didn’t have to endure that torture
Any tips or input are GREATLY appreciated.
PS… we need an equitation or instruction tag!

I received the schedule for the Signature Sale Morgan Consignment Auction yesterday and, while I am still working on putting it on the website, I thought I would post it here.
The auction itself will be run on Saturday, April 4. A brunch will start at 10:00am and the actual sale will start at 11:30am. 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.

Just wanted to know if anyone here has any experience with Tug Hill Celebrity babies. I have a coming 2 year old by him and (while I know bloodlines aren’t everything) I would like to know what people have thought of his babies so far. I’ve seen lots of produce by Man About Town LPS that I have liked, but not many other direct produce of THC. According to the breeder I got my boy from, his daddy was pretty infertile so his babies are somewhat scarce. Are there any other nice horses by him around that I’ve missed? I wish I could post a picture of him, but apparently I’m a bad owner and don’t have any
PS: here’s my boys full pedigree, let me know what you think and be honest… since I’m still “green” to the morgan world I’m always interested in other peoples opinions, and I won’t take too much offense

Are there any bravehearts planning to attend the inauguration or other activities in the D.C. area through Tuesday? The AMHA website mentioned that at least one Morgan will be in the parade. It’s exciting to live in the D.C area during such historic times.
