At all three 4-H Field Days, Morgans were used for the various demonstra· tions. "However," says Mrs. Ela, "No emphasis was placed on the Morgans as a breed since these clubs are for all breeds. The Morgans just sold themselves by their manners and looks." 4-H clubs in other areas may be interested in the programs of the three field days at the Townshend Farm. Any other clubs that would like. to use these ideas are welcome to do so, says Mrs. Ela. Much credit, she says, for the success of the programs is due to the speakers, all of whom were experts in their various fields. Here. are the three programs: 1962 Exhibition s of Tack and Cloth· ing - Talk by Byron E. Colby, U. of Mass. Livestock Specialist, "Proper Feeding of Horses."

MAY, 1964 39 Morgan Horse of Oregon

RUTH MORRISON 1169 Darnielle Lane Grants Pass, Oregon

Now that Spring has officially ar. rived, comple.te with warm, sunny days, daffodils and fruit blossoms, some of our members are coming out of their winter hibernation and are getting their Morgans polished up. There have been small shows all over during the winter. We here in Oregon are fortunate to have so many covered arenas available to work our horses in the winter rainy season. The ultimate goal, of course, will be the 7th Annual All-Morgan Show in Eugene on June 27 and 28 with a complete schedule of In Hand and English, Western and Harness events. News from here and there Mrs. Mabel Miller of Salem has pur­ chased a two year old gelding from Knoxdale Morgan Ranch. His name is Redcin (Dancin x My Stars). Mrs. Miller has him stabled at the State Fair Ground. Mr. and Mrs. Jim Michels of Wren have purchased the 26 year old brood­ mare, Princess Spar, from the George Mr. and Mrs. David Olson's FERNCREST DOT (Trinango x Lo Gentle Lark) and her rider Judy Carter demonstrate their rlbbor •wlnning versatility in both English and westem

Nelsons of Coquilla. We understand Princess is the grand-dam of the Michels' stallion Joaquin's Imp. The Nelsons have four full brothers and sis­ ters from Princess out of Sonoma, 26 year old stallion, owne.d by the Phil Morrisons of Grants Pass, and leased to the Nelsons. Mr. and Mrs. Paul Dierks of Grants Pass have purchased a flashy dark chestnut colt, Arana Too, from the Phil Morrisons. He is a chip off the old block-his sire being Arana Ficld, win­ ner of sixteen championships as a three year old (he will be 4 in March) and the Dierks have served notice on Phil that they are going to beat "old Dad" in a year or two. The Eugene Hunt Club Show, held March 15th, had a good turnout of Morgans . There were eleven entered in the various classes. We understand that no other breed was so well repre­ sented. Dotty Olson hitched her two Morgans to a Gay Nineties rig and brought the officials into the ring in fine style. The placings in the Morgan Western Pleasure class were: lst, Toni (Continued on Page 51) a real honor considering that the show is entirely put on by members of the Morgan Gold CircleJ News Circle J Morgan Horse Ass,ocacion.
