I’d like to thank everyone who sent in photos for the awards, we have some really nice shots this year. This is also the time of year when some mare owners start thinking of breeding. If you’re in the market for a beautiful Morgan stud to breed to your mare, be sure to read the stallion advertisements in this issue. The professional breeders advertised within these pages would welcome your business. If you’re not planning on breeding this year or expecting a bouncing baby foal in the coming months, spring is still a time full of anticipation... for that first riding clinic (be sure to check out Page 33) or that first horse show. If it’s the showring that you’re anxiously waiting for to dry out, then be sure to flip to Page 28 to read about some important Equine Canada information that could impact you. We also welcome quite a few new members in this issue, so, if you’re a newbie, “welcome aboard,” we’re very proud to have you as part of our association! Oh, and if you just can’t wait for spring to arrive, there’s always the CMHA video library where you can rent anything from tapings of interviews with top Morgan trainers to general horse care (see Page 13) for the selection available. Until next time, Happy riding... and reading!

We are living in “uncharted waters” at the present time with a surplus of horses of all breeds and economies both north and south of the 49th parallel that are struggling some, or a lot, depending on the area. To receive input and support from our members is crucial to developing plans and strategies to move forward and remain viable. I recently had a member call to chat who has been a major breeder for many years. One of the topics that came up during our discussion was that breeders are the backbone of the CMHA. This is absolutely true: our association’s purpose is to provide and maintain an accurate accounting of the pedigrees of Morgan horses in Canada. In other words: a registry. Without breeders who continue to register foals, transfer animals to new owners and support the registry, we wouldn’t have a purpose. We also wouldn’t have much money to carry on with the other things that we do. Many Morgan breeders in Canada have been breeding animals for 30 to 40 years and are getting to the age where they are cutting back or ceasing breeding all together. The CMHA is losing two things through these cut backs. First, the vast knowledge and experience these people possess, and secondly, the money they have spent for many years that has supported and maintained the CMHA. Another contact was a short note and a cheque from 40- year CMHAmember breeders, owners and show people Sheldon and Miriam Selk from Administrator’s Message T his is the time of year when we celebrate our hard-working trail horses, our athletic versatile horses and our elegant show horses. Whatever it is that rocks your world with your Morgan, we have a category to honour your accomplishments! Thank you to everyone who participated in our awards system in 2010. Here are a few statistics: • 101 purebred Morgan horses Photo by Joy Photography entered points into the Show High Point. • 1 part-Morgan entered points into the Show High Point. • 9 Junior riders submitted equitation points. • 6 horses entered points into the Trail High Point. • 21 horses entered points for their Versatile Morgan Medallion awards. There are two Morgans representing both coasts that deserve special recognition. In the West, BMF Spartacus earned his PLATINUM Versatile Award for owner Aren-Dina Popadiuk. Dina hails from Maple Ridge, BC, and primarily competes with her gelding in combined driving events. Congratulations Dina on your accomplishments with BMF Spartacus! In the East we have a stallion and his lady, who have accomplished what only four other horses have done so far. Dawn Brown and her husband Walter from Collina, NB, own the beautiful stallion Amadeus Mozart Ara-Li* and they are being recognized for earning a SUPREME Justin Morgan Honour. To earn a Supreme Justin Morgan, you must earn eight Justin Morgan honours in four different categories. He has earned JMs in Pleasure Driving, Hunter Pleasure, English General Purpose and Driving General Purpose. “Moe” is used primarily for carriage driving, but has certainly demonstrated that he is a multi-purpose horse. Claresholm, AB. I called Miriam immediately to thank her for the donation. Her note in part read: “Enclosed is our donation toward the Canadian Morgan Horse Association. What have we done today? We are helping, we believe in the Morgan horse!” Sheldon and Miriam are no longer active breeders but, as noted, they believe in the Morgan horse and want to help, and their donation was a way that they could do this. We can contribute in different ways. If we have a strong belief in the Morgan horse and a desire to help the registry survive in difficult times, we can all find ways to help. I am inspired by the concerns, thoughts and ideas I have received from members. We have a dedicated group serving on our board of directors. It is essential that members provide support, verbally and financially, and positive feedback with solutions that we can use at the board level. What we conceive and believe, we can achieve. Amadeus Mozart Ara-Li* is now entitled to use an asterisk after his name and is in good company with these fine Morgans: Honnalee Chante*, Jalna Valiant*, Adanac Halla’s Dawn* and Bonnie Lee’s Cupid*. A special presentation will be done in the spring to honour “Moe” at a show in New Brunswick. Congratulations Walter and Dawn! The year 2010 was unusual because we changed the high point by offering new categories for Dressage, Hunter/Jumper and broke apart the Driving General Purpose division. We certainly hope these divisions will grow by leaps and bounds in 2011. If you are out there riding your Morgan or part-Morgan at open hunter/jumper shows or dressage competitions or driving in carriage shows, contact me to see how you can get involved in the CMHA high point. It would be an honour to recognize your special and talented Morgan or part-Morgan. Nancy Kavanagh, Office Administrator Canadian Morgan Horse Association News Registry News The CMHA board is so pleased with the amount of older Morgans being registered due to the previous moratorium, that the board has created a new moratorium to continue registering older Morgans at a discount. The CMHA will accept Morgans two years and older into the registry at a 25% discount of the current fee schedule until December 31, 2011.

After talking it over with my husband, Walter, I agreed. Our thoughts were to sell the foal, or if it suited us, to keep it as a horse for our two children. We never dreamed that unborn foal would be our horse of a lifetime. We first met the tiny, shy, mousy gray colt a few hours after his birth in a small barn behind a little Baptist church in Lower Millstream, New Brunswick. It was the frosty morning of an Easter weekend, April 15, 1995. There he was! We were now the owners of a special, 100% Lippitt Morgan. What a surprise—I had never, ever fancied that I would own a Morgan. Having spent many years working at the race track, I had planned to adopt a retired Thoroughbred. I knew little of the Lippitt line, which contains a high percentage of blood dating to Figure, the stallion Amadeus Mozart Ara-Li* with Carol Potts, Lila, Aaron, Walter and Dawn who founded the Morgan breed. Brown at the Lippitt of the Year presentation at the Lippitt Country Show in We named him Amadeus Mozart Ara-Li*. With “Amadeus” Tunbridge, Vermont.

Moe, We continued showing Moe In-Hand as a yearling and a as we call him, is by Jake Mint, two-year-old with some success, even bringing home a few a Lippitt Morgan stallion bred Champion Morgan Stallion ribbons.

He would stand and wait patiently Moe came to live at our Ara-Li between classes, resting—even sleeping—in harness or when Acres in Collina when he was I was sitting on him. As soon as he went in the ring, though, weaned at four months. We have he puffed up and exuded energy. He seemed to save every bit 45 acres there and it was to be set of it for the show ring. up as a small boarding stable with, We found the New Brunswick Morgan Club members of course, one horse for me. Then were helpful, friendly and loved their Morgans. Over time, along came Moe, who progressed we became very involved with the club and were taking Moe to be far more than “one horse.” to horse fairs and expos to represent the Morgan breed. Moe Rev. Keith kept talking on about became very well known in the province. People were taken Moe’s bloodlines and potential as Walter and Dawn Brown preparing Amadeus Mozart by the fact that he was a stallion, yet so quiet. We also went a stallion. Ara Li* (a.k.a.

Fortunately, we decided to delay gelding fundraisers), decked out for the occasion. Moe until he gained some age and we could see what we had. He learned In 1997, we enrolled Moe in the Canadian Morgan Horse Association fast, was respectful and grew to be very handsome and has so remained a Awards and Versatile Morgan Medallion Award system. stallion. Not knowing much about showing the Morgan horse, we started him in We first showed Moe in the foal class at the New Brunswick Morgan Morgan Pleasure Driving, eventually discovering Carriage Driving was Horse Show. He was second in a class of two. It was not a brilliant start, where he would shine. His favourite thing of all is Obstacle Driving. I but a great learning experience. Morgans were a new breed for us. Walter think he finds it much more interesting than going around in a circle. Under had grown up on a farm with draft horses. He drove his first teams at age saddle, he was started Western and did respectably in the division, even six. Well, the horses were pretty much on cruise control in the hay field as winning a couple of championship classes. But with the big trot he was his father loaded hay. I had owned and shown Quarter Horses. After this developing, English seemed to be the best direction to point him in. Indeed, first Morgan show, Walter commented, “I think we are in trouble now.” he went on to win many Justin Morgan Standard Classes. Walter knew we had both enjoyed the show. The competitors were friendly 22 March/April 2011 Moe used his talents to earn his Justin Morgan Medallions. In 2001 Moe received two Justin Morgan Medallions, with 1000 points in the Pleasure Driving and Driving General Purpose (Carriage) Divisions. To date, he has received a total of five Justin Morgan Medallions for Driving General Purpose. In 2006, he received the Superior Justin Morgan Honour for performance, by earning 4000 points in a single division. In 2008, the Justin Morgan Medallion came for the division English General Performance, which is basically anything in English tack, except Morgan Hunter Seat Pleasure. The last and most difficult division for us to conquer was Hunter Seat Pleasure. The judging trend had favoured horses with more action placing above those like Moe who traveled long and low. I believe a gentle reminder sent out from the AMHA to judges encouraging them to move away from this helped us last year. A change to a Pelham bit and a few good lessons using it helped as well. In 2010, he earned the balance of points needed, and he even won a championship class. This last Justin Morgan added up to four Justin Morgans in four different divisions which means a Superior Justin Morgan Honour for Versatility. These, added to the four he already had, captured the Supreme 8,000 points in at least four different divisions. The Supreme has been a goal for us, and he has earned it. Amadeus Mozart Ara-Li* is the fifth Morgan to receive the Supreme Justin Morgan Honours since the system was established in 1973. This achievement allows the placement of an asterisk (*) after his name as recognition. In the Versatile Morgan Medallion program he has received the certificate Silver and Gold medallions. Amadeus Mozart Ara-Li* has also been named Lippitt of the Year three times by The Lippitt Club, selected as the Lippitt Morgan who has generated the greatest amount of favourable notice for the Lippitt Morgan in the preceding year. He also received from the Lippitt Club the Allen Major’s Award for competition. We traveled to Tunbridge, Vermont, twice to attend the Lippitt Country Show and receive these awards in person. While there—in a pilgrimage of sorts—we visited the farm where Figure is buried. We consider Moe “home schooled,” as he has never had any professional training. He has always had a lot of “go” and road trot appears to be his favourite gait. Containing the impulsion and keeping it coming from the right end, has sometimes proven difficult. He is smart and quickly learns the judge’s order of gaits, if they are always in the same order. As many know, anticipation can be a terrible problem. With him, that darn well-known “Morgan Jig” will emerge. Being a stallion, he doesn’t like other horses in his space. In Carriage they can’t get too close, but under saddle if they do, he gets a little cranky. This is not a good picture in a pleasure class. He likes to work, and at home when I am doing things with the other horses he becomes jealous. The first time I noticed this, I wasn’t sure what was happening. He started making some pretty nasty looking faces at me. The solution was to shut the barn door so he could not see the ring. We raised four Morgans sired by Moe and feel successful as small breeders, having sold three in tough economic times to very fine homes. They are in Halifax, Nova Scotia; Rolla, Missouri; and Las Vegas, Nevada. The fourth one we plan to keep, with no plans to breed any more. At 14.2, I have often called Moe our “little big horse,” as he has a huge heart and, like the original Figure, will rise up to any challenge. He is very special to our family. Lila once said that he is like a little brother. Moe and I have a special bond; I often feel he thinks I am his mother. He is our horse of a lifetime and the achievements with him have been very rewarding. We did it together. Editor’s Note: Dawn’s husband, Walter, has worked for the New Brunswick Department of Agriculture for 35 years, presently as Crop Development Officer. Dawn is an Equine Canada Senior (S) Steward, Dressage Medium (M) Steward and Arabian Horse Association Steward. CM Who’s on the Front Cover? F rom my earliest remembered encounter with horses at three years of age when I ran into the house crying, (only for my mother to discover that I had a perfect pony foal hoof print on my forehead) to riding sawhorses, I have always been passionate about horses. We always had horses, my mother and maternal grandmother rode, as well as my father who also worked the fields with horses. But I never had a Morgan until I was a mother myself. Our first Morgan was DVF Lonesome Dove. She was a remarkable English horse, and when I had decided to buy a Morgan for myself, I wanted to purchase a horse with similar bloodlines. Northern Exposure is sired by Southerly Conowingo, the same sire as Dove. So begins the journey of Robin (Northern Exposure) and Kathy. Robin epitomizes the qualities of the Morgan breed, but more than any other quality is his heart and mind. In 2008, Robin was Reserve World Champion Fourth Level Dressage horse while at the same show crowned National Champion Amateur English Trail Horse and National Champion Amateur Western Trail. He also placed Top Ten in Amateur Western Northern Exposure with some of his “villagers.” Pleasure. Quite an accomplishment for one horse, ridden and trained by an amateur and a true example of the versatility of the Morgan breed. In 2009, Robin was severely injured, but in his heart he was still a show horse. After a year-and-a-half off, and under the direction of Michelle Hanson of Spiritwood Arabians, we began the rehab process. The first show in 2010 was good, but as the season progressed, Robin was coming into stride. The muscle that was 75% severed, gained strength, and with patience and great coaching, we had a very successful year. Robin was undefeated in Trail and was making his presence felt in the Western Pleasure ring that culminated with him winning the Amateur Western Pleasure Championship at the Alberta Morgan Horse Show. They say that it takes a village to raise a child, but it also takes a village to produce a champion horse and I would like to thank some villagers: Michelle Hanson, coach extraordinaire; Morris Stewart, DVM; Marty Stapleton, farrier; the Red Deer Groom Team; and my family, who always have encouraged me to pursue my passion with horses and, of course, one great Morgan, Northern Exposure, who makes every ride enjoyable. This great horse, who “never says never,” was recognized on January 26, 2010, as Equine Canada’s Breed Sport Morgan of the Year for 2010 at a National Awards Gala at the National Art Centre in Ottawa.

ANADIAN CANADIAN MORGAN January/February 2010 Publications Mail Agreement #41953512 The May/June issue closes for reservations April 15 Ph: 905.885.0525 [email protected] 32 March/April 2011 Photo by Maggie Northcott Equine Foundation of Canada grant supports equine dentistry C harlottetown, P.E.I.—A generous donation from the Equine Foundation of Canada has allowed the Atlantic Veterinary College (AVC) at the University of Prince Edward Island (UPEI) to purchase new equipment for equine dentistry and laryngeal surgery. Equine dentistry should be a routine part of preventive health care for horses, says Dr. Wendy Duckett, Associate Professor of Large Animal Medicine at AVC. An important dental procedure for horses is floating, the process of gently filing sharp edges and/or overgrowths on a horse’s teeth. Because a horse’s teeth keep erupting throughout their lives, they need to be filed—or floated—regularly. If not, the teeth can develop sharp enamel points that can cause painful sores in the animal’s mouth, making eating or wearing a bridle painful. With this grant from the Equine Foundation of Canada, AVC has purchased a Powerfloat, a mechanized dental device for floating horses’ teeth, as well as new hand floats equipped with tungsten carbide blades. “Mechanized dentistry floats can safely and quickly deal with routine dental procedures as well as problems such as abnormal tooth overgrowth,” says Duckett. The grant from the Equine Foundation of Canada has also allowed the College to purchase instruments used in equine laryngeal surgery. Horses may develop a partial paralysis of the larynx, which causes obstruction of airflow, says Dr. Art Ortenburger, Associate Professor of Surgery at AVC. For many horses, the safest treatment is an outpatient procedure performed while the horse is awake. This procedure requires two very long and thin instruments that pass through the horse’s nose to grip the vocal cords, which are then trimmed by a laser under endoscopic guidance. “This treatment is particularly good for the larger draft horse breeds,” says Dr. Ortenburger. “The relative safety of this procedure for those heavy horses is much, much better, compared to putting them under general anesthesia. As with any better way to treat an animal, students will learn that this is possible for draft horses which have this problem, and all will benefit.” The Equine Foundation of Canada aids and promotes the health and welfare of horses across Canada. Past support from the foundation allowed Dr. Art Ortenburger, Associate Professor of Surgery at the Atlantic Veterinary College and Dr. Wendy Duckett, Associate Professor of Large Animal Medicine display the new equipment for laryngeal surgery and equine dentistry purchased by AVC with a generous grant from the Equine Foundation of Canada. Looking on is Hooligan the horse. AVC to establish its equine chiropractic service. Established in 1986, the Atlantic Veterinary College is committed to improving the health and well-being of animals and humans through excellence in education, discovery, professional practice and dedicated service to the four Atlantic provinces. In 2011 the college celebrates its 25th anniversary as the veterinary college serving Atlantic Canada.
