(Continued on next Page) OUR FRONT COVER The Editors Comments "I sec what's in front of me." How many judges—or group of judges can say that—or do? We know. We have stood in the exalted ring and watched them troop in. We have heard the sigh of anticipation as each entry came booming through the gate the while the crowd in quivering expectancy waited for the favorite. At last, under the expert tutelage of the pro with the delayed entry—a must in his book—comes the acknowledged winner. With flash and color he (or she) spurs into the ring where the tyros have, lo these last ten minutes, kept their mounts moving at the gait best calculated to keep them in form and not steam out of them the motion which would eventually win. The judges—all three of them—eye this new-comer with all the reverence Our cover this month features the head man of the Morgan Horse Club extended to a famed circuit preacher. So that's the one that's been winning all the prizes. That's the one that's been pinning the ears back on all entries astride his well-known stallion, Ben Don.

And — praise-allah — that is sister Carolyn owns Orcland Ike. not the way the winners of the 1954 National will be chosen- To digress. Once upon a time we pinned a horse in the pouring rain. The field was sodden, a foot deep in mud. The mare we chose went daintily through the slop and we gave her the blue. "She's lame" they yelled at us as we left the ring. We had seen her in other shows dragging a leg. But this day, on this kind of a field and in this company she went sound. We had been asked to judge this show—this day's events. We pinned her because—re gardless of the mud or the rain—on that day she went sound. That, in the final analysis we regard as the duty of the judge. To look 'cm over and pick the winner—regardless of past performances. There will be no conference of judges at this year's national Morgan show.
