The Editor's Comments

In 1949 we covered our first National Morgan Show at the Davis place, Wind-Crest, in Windsor, Vt. We were pro- perly impressed at the number and beauty of the entries. We met hundreds of persons—persons new to our horse show ken who radiated friendliness and enthusiasm for the breed as well as their own charges. On our cover this month we feature this beautiful setting for the 1955 This year's national was the same kind of a show. True, National Morgan Horse Show.

SEPTEMBER 1955 5 . WIND-CREST DONA LEE

Miss Patricia Kelley, daughter of Mrs. Antoinette S. Kelley, of Buttonwood Farm in Chester, Vermont, is shown up on their sensational mare "Wind-Crest Dona Lee" who literally walked away with the championships at this year's National, taking the coveted "Grand Champion Saddle Horse" award and also repeating her win of last year by winning the "Grand Champion Harness Horse" trophy. She was also Champion at the National Show in Harrisburg last year and is undefeated this season. Truly a remarkable record and a credit to her young rider who has shown her in many of the saddle classes. Buttonwood Farm Chester, Vermont 1955 NATIONAL More classes and more horses with wide distribution of trophies are distinguishing features of this year's Extravaganza.

By ERN PEDLER

In giving account of my many miles of riding and exploits on horse- back, particularly wild horse chasing, I have always gone to great lengths to make myself look good. I have dwelt on my superior knotvledge and skill, right to, if not past the edge of boredom. Meticulously I outlined my plans of strategy, pointing out the ingenious kinks of thoughts wherein I thought like a horse, only more so. With bony fist I beat on my narrow emanciated chest, and called out with blatant voice to all who would listen, of my great courage and even greater ability as a rider of the great ranges, both the high mountains and the broken and muddled desert bad- lands. As proof of my outstanding achievements I show mustangs the like of which I could have bought for eight dollars a head when I was a boy. So read now and see the other side of Ern Pedler, mighty horse hunter. - ERN PEDLER

P. S. We have two weanling stud colts for sale this fall. One sired by Sealect of Wind-Crest, the Reserve Champion Stallion at the 1955 National Morgan Horse Show and out of Upwey Casablanca, the Grand Champion Model Mare at the 1950 National Morgan Horse Show. The ether is sired by Easter Twilight and out of a double granddaughter of Bennington.

If you want something really special you should purchase our snatched pair of geldings, Wind-Crest Stardom and Stardust. While only trained for pleasure driving, they won second in the pair driving, Stardom winning the three year old driving class. We would like to keep them but must make room for our fillies.
