Our condolences also go out to Jackie Sweeney who lost her husband, Doc Sweeney, last month. As a veterinarian, Doc was active in the horse business for a long time. Jackie said his passing was unexpected and very sudden. Sweeney, William H., DVM age 82 of Vermont Township, WI, died unexpectedly on Wednesday, February 3, 2016 at his home. He was born October 3, 1933 in Dubuque, Iowa to James F. and Mae A. (Kingsley) Sweeney. He was a US Army veteran during the Korean war. Doc attended Sweeney School in Dubuque, Iowa District #8, Loras Academy, Notre Dame University, and transferred to Iowa State University where he received his BS degree. He was married and had three sons. He taught High School science classes. He then went back to Iowa State University where he received his DVM in 1967. After graduation, he practiced in Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota. He practiced as an associate veterinarian with Dr. Paul Nelson. Through his association with Dr. Nelson, he became involved in the Minnesota State Fair and in 1968 became the Official State Fair Veterinarian. That same year, Bill's brother, Jim Sweeney, DVM moved to the Twin Cities from Milwaukee and they opened the Bloomington Veterinary Hospital. In 1976, they expanded their practice and opened another clinic in Lakeville, Equine Medical Center. His equine calls extended from Duluth, Mn., to Iowa, Wisconsin and Illinois. Doc was the veterinarian for the Minnesota State Horse Expo from 1990 until 2015. Doc was selected by his peers and clients as the Minnesota Horseman of the Year in 2003. He was also honored by the North Star Morgan Americana Horse Show for being the show veterinarian from 1973 until his retirement in 2013. Doc was respected by fellow practitioners and clients for his dedication, knowledge, common sense, teaching, and professionalism. Up to the day he died, Doc received calls from clients asking questions and opinions. Doc loved all three of his sons and enjoyed their sports and their assistance helping at the Minnesota State Fair. He was united in marriage to Jacquelyn L. Behling on November 2, 1996 in Mt. Horeb, WI. He was a member of St. Ignatius Catholic Church, a St. Michael the Archangel Parish in Mt. Horeb, WI. He was also a member and co-founder of what is now known as the Minnesota Association of Equine Practitioner where he served as President and on its Board of Directors; the Tri-State Horseman Association, the Minnesota Thoroughbred Association, the United States Equestrian Association, and an Honorary member of the American Association of Equine Practitioners. He is survived by his wife: Jackie, three sons: Patrick (Susie) Sweeney of Bloomington, MN; Dr. David (Dr. Terri Mauch) Sweeney of Omaha, NE; Dan (Chris) Sweeney of Minneapolis, MN; grandchildren: Nick (Stephanie), Stephanie, Josh, Sarah, Sam, Logan, and Tate; sister: Anne Sweeney of Bernard, Iowa, two brothers: John F. (Diane) Sweeney of Florida, James A. (Lois) Sweeney, DVM of Minnesota; and a special niece, Kathleen Sweeney, father-in-law: Robert V. (Beady) Behling of Beaver Dam. brother-in-law: Robert L. Behling of Washoe Valley, Nevada, nieces, nephews, cousins, other relatives and Jackie Sweeney, Owner/Trainer/Manager friends. He was preceded in death by his parents and a Hyleefarm.com ~ [email protected] sister, Sister Mary Clare Sweeney, Doc and Jackie had an adventurous, supportive and loving marriage and it was a honor to have been married to Doc. If God's intent was to put Doc on this earth to be a good man, a friend, a mentor and a great veterinarian He certainly accomplished His job. 3 WMHC Meeting Minutes; February 21, 2016 Attendees: Lauraine Smith, Judy Tate, Heidi Harvey, Marie Stewart, Karla Gay, Debbie Fairbanks, Amy Ziegler, Beth Anne Heyrman, Lorena Harrold, Ron and Barb Loos, Jim Harris, Jill and Makayla Ronk, Jane and Addy Barber, Ally McDonald, Sarah Ackermann, Isabelle Abderholden, Tamra McMahon, Carmin Dederich, Susan McCourt, Darcy Overturf The meeting was called to order at 12:04 Introductions were made; our new members are Ally McDonald, Addy and Jane Barber, and Makayla and Jill Ronk Last meeting’s minutes were approved.

  • PART III: BULRUSH MORGAN Tbe Sons Byof Brenda L
    u HISTORY LESSON u PART III: BULRUSH MORGAN Tbe Sons Byof Brenda L. TippinJustin Morgan lthough Bulrush no longer survives in direct sireline, his blood is woven indelibly through the fabric of the Morgan breed. Like the quiet iron strength of the horse himself, this thread was something solid, never flaunting itself, yet an integral part of the survival of the breed as a whole. Long taken for granted, one day the direct line came to an end—but somewhere, behind every great AMorgan, is a daughter of Bulrush or one of his descendants. BULRUSH MORGAN: coming down to his nose and his mane hanging nearly to his knees. BREEDING AND BACKGROUND Bulrush had his tail cut off at about nine inches when he Bulrush Morgan was foaled around 1812, and was bred by Moses was young, which was the fashion of the day, though it remained Belknap of Randolph, Vermont, in Orange County. Mr. Belknap, very thick and full. He stood 14 to 14.2 hands tall, according to like many of the men in that vicinity and time, was a veteran of different accounts, and weighed about 1000 pounds. The most the Revolutionary War, and an active farmer with a large family. striking characteristic of Bulrush was his tremendous muscular Bulrush was most often described as dark bay in color, though at development. His back was just a little longer than either some seasons apparently he was called a rich blood bay. He had no Woodbury’s or Sherman’s, though less inclined to be hollow. His white markings save for a few white hairs in his forehead.

    Honor Roll 5.09 12/14/11 11:19 AM Page 28 The idea of exploring a “Women In Our Industry” theme in this issue is not employed to be topical or controversial. Most accurately it is, as it should be, a theme without restriction or confinement (like the contributions women have made to most equine endeavors). The Morgan Horse chose this theme to celebrate the enormous, indeed disproportionate, influence women Thave had on our relatively small in size but huge in passion industry. We also recognize that the Morgan community, throughout its history, has not merely provided acceptance. Rather women have proven that they are more than equal in the areas of vision, direction, accomplishment and utilization of the breed. Hence, for us, women’s names have become household terms. Mrs. Powers and Ma Greenwalt advanced the breed. Morgans visited Europe under the aegis of Margaret and Lisa and Mimi. Miss Judy is our leading show ring trainer. Morgan history has not been, with any sort of exclusivity, a man’s world. Mentors. Educators. Leaders. Innovators. Adjudicators. Pioneers. Counselors. Advocates. Here, in year one of this theme, we commence an honor roll, a hall of fame, an academy. Should there be more? You bet. It is our hope, at The Morgan Horse, to supplement this list on an annual basis. We’ve invited tributes from protégés, peers, best friends, members of the Morgan community whose names will mean as much as their words. Read the roll call and you will find profiles of women who have been present for the march of the Morgan breed.

    This theme, now in year eight, celebrates the enormous, indeed disproportionate, influence women have on our industry. We recognize that the Morgan community, throughout its history, has not merely provided acceptance. Rather women have proven that they are more than equal in the areas of vision, direction, accomplishment, and utilization of the breed. T The Morgan industry has not been male-centric. Women have been leaders, mentors, educators, innovators, adjudicators, pioneers, counselors, and advocates. The staff of The Morgan Horse has, for the eighth year, searched our archives, asked our advisors and brainstormed in meetings to generate a long list and then the short list that appears here. The Honor Roll is never intended to be complete. We will add names to it annually. We strive, in one issue each year, to be sure the list is as varied, diverse, and colorful as the breed itself. Ladies, you continue to inspire us.

Locally, the Sacramento Valley Morgan Horse Club (SVMHC), has benefited from her tireless energy; with the production of the Mother Lode Morgan and Open Breed horse show; the Morgan Exhibit Booth at the Western States Horse EXPO attracting 50,000 horse lovers to Sacramento; managing the SVMHC newsletter, Hoof Beats; and much more.
