I came across a couple of articles today about David Saunders and the four-in-hand team of black Morgan geldings that he will be competing with at the World Equestrian Games. It’s always nice to see Morgans mentioned in the mainstream, non-equestrian press (even if some of the facts stated in the articles are…questionable.)

I saw this team at the WEG driving test event last fall and they are breathtaking. It’s exciting to see Morgans at the top of international competition. Going up against the Warmbloods is no easy task, but I know they’ll hold their own!

Edited to add a couple of photos of the team at last year’s test event:

Anyone know who the secretary was for this show? I was able to find some results part-way through the show, but when I went to get the rest it wasn’t available anymore. I can’t find the info on the website.

Anyone here go? How was it?

Anyone have any stall drapes they would like to sell?  I prefer black , either Radon or Corcel.

  I just read the AMHA posting of the settlement agreement.  It has some interesting provisions.  I do a great number of mediations (as an Insurance rep/lawyer) and reading between the lines was enlightening.   

  I like the idea of a Greivance Committee in theory and I think part of the reason for the ongoing conflict is that people feel they are not being heard, but to keep it from degenerating into a “b—h committee” we need to have some body chair it who has had training in conflict resolution.   I know there are people out there who are still mad about the direction the breed took 40 years ago, but we gotta move on. 

  I think the Judge probably leaned on both sides and AMHA clearly has a duty for more full disclosure.  I think, however, that once we get full financial disclosure, the general conclusion will be that there was some smoke, but not much fire, despite all the hollering.  

  See, kids-isn’t it much more pleasant when we all play together and share?

  Any comments?

to be an equestrian? 

im writing something for my Equine Science teaher to read, this is not for a grade, just something to keep me busy over my last few days of summer. i tried following Kenney Chesney’s theme of “boys of fall” but it just didn’t work for me.  

any ideas on what it takes to be an equestrian are greatly appreciated!! thanks guys!!  it doesn’t have to be a competitive equestrian. just one in general!!
