My trainer, also shows Appaloosas. She usually takes us to Morgan shows, but can’t make it to Jubilee Regionals. I really want to go.
We are looking for someone to help us out with getting the horse ready, going into the ring if I win a class & taking us to the warm up ring, etc.
Let […]

So I’m still getting my life reorganized after returning from New England. I would have liked to have posted from the show, but then I would have missed so much. I wanted everyone to see some of the footwear that was on parade last week. As you might imagine, most of it was muckboots, but […]

While we’re on the topic of judges, I was curious to find out how many exhibitors actually keep a list of bad judges they would not consider spending their money to receive opinions from…  Many of us are not showing 4-H here and have to spend considerable amounts of capital to take our horses to […]

Yes, I do believe we need to expand the judges pool, but I don’ think making professional horseman all apply for thier judges card is the answer.   Some of the professionals may be successful with the morgan show horse, but does everyone have what it takes to place a given class from first to last.  […]

I bought a hunter this year…and haven’t ridden hunt since I was 13 yrs old. Back then, I was able to braid my own horse (yarn braids), but have long forgotten how. Heck, sometimes I have a hard time remembering my kids names…and let’s not even talk about where I put the car […]

Since many judges are trainers, would a trainer’s poor performance as a judge alter your decision to bring your horses to that person for training?
Would it change your opinion on how much they really knew about training a horse to perform properly?

I am new as of today on this site, and am not usually highly opinionated, but I’m mad, gosh darnnit and want to know if anyone agrees with me. Was it just me, or was the judging at New England really bad? I saw so man horses make huge errors right in front of the […]

Hi,
I have a brand-new show horse—two months with us—and one that shows some promise.   But she’s new to us,  and I just started showing again after a long hiatus.  Since this is our “practice year,” we still have some rough edges to smooth off.   I’m not a novice rider nor is she a novice horse.
Here’s […]

Does anyone know of some really good restaurants near the Jubilee show? Are there any “must go” places for either the food or ambience?

I received an email from Linda Burke, Show Secretary, and the classes from last night’s cancelled evening session were started this morning at 8am.  Results for those will be included with tomorrow mornings report.  For the Morning and Afternoon sessions results go to the “New England Results” post.  I updated them this morning.
