2 Our thoughts go out to Beth Anne Heyrman on the sudden loss of her brother and to Annie Randall who is undergoing treatment to fight cancer.

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.

Lazy Creek farm. It has been quit a year. We were able to get all our Western Dressage clinics in, as the weather has been so good on the days we had picked for the clinics. I have been riding as much as I can and Gary has been able to go along with me some times. His foot surgery recovery has taken longer then we both thought, but he is getting along better and better each day. He is even doing some chores now. We have the results for the for the AMHA open competition and Baroncrest Emelita did very very well. She ended up grand reserve in the In Hand Open Classes. I also took Lignite Emrys to a few shows and he also get some points - we are very proud of the Morgan breed and all they can do. Emelita and I are now in the Northwood farm western dressage challenge and we are a having so much fun. I am challenging myself with Emelita and we are working on improving the relationship we have and building more of a bond every time we ride. Spring is almost here and the geese are flying over, warmer head , with warmer days and longer days all is well . Have a safe and happy Spring Lazy Creek farm Gary and Claudia Shipshock (Congrats on open competition. So glad to hear how much you enjoy your horses and provide for others enjoyment/ education as well. ed.)

Feather Ridge Farm. (picture from) My recent drive - only one of the year so far-with Crystal. The conditions were far from ideal, but I was so happy she was a good sport after quite a bit of time off. Now we need some fresh snow to get out again. Katz Still waiting for my first sleigh ride, Sigh. Ed.

5 from Karla Gay. We have a new member, Donna Wilson, and she just bought her first Morgan, Silverstone Noble Ash (CWS Silver Ash x Nemours Noblelea), a 12 year old mare, this past weekend in Tennessee. She will be coming to our next Morgan meeting in Baraboo. She has been my riding partner for years and we both were selected to ride Border Patrol at MHF so this is so exciting for both of us. I will be riding my Morgan mare Carly and she will be riding her Fox Trotter. As of yet she does not know how her new one would react with all the excitement, but there is a possibility she will ride the Morgan. We have had lots of mud and now snow so not much riding at the farm as of yet. I have taken my mare over to Horse First Farm for inside riding just to keep her in shape. Sarah is doing well with ground training Georgia. Karla

The Wisconsin Morgan Horse Club has been awarded as the 2015 AMHA Club of the Year! The announcement was made at the Annual Meeting of Members, which took place February 11 in Boston, Massachusetts, as part of The Super Convention.

Two clubs from across the country competed in the Club of the Year contest and were judged on their yearbooks, which chronicle the club's activities throughout the year in eight separate categories. A prize of $600 will be awarded to the winning club for their achievement. Earning second-place honors and a prize of $400 is the Mississippi Valley Morgan Horse Club.

Club newsletters continue to play an important role in keeping members informed of activities, meetings, news, and more.

11 Learn Some Morgan History as reported by Marsha Valance

Upwey Ben Don 8843 (Upwey King Benn x Quietude), 1943-1968

Solid bay. Bred by Owen Moon. Foaled 7/17/1943, South Woodstock, Vermont. Owned by Mr. & Mrs. Frederick O. Davis. Died 11/01/1968, Windsor, Vermont. 30 crosses to Sherman Morgan 5; 20 crosses to Billy Root 9; 15 crosses to Hale’s Green Mountain Morgan 48; 11 crosses each to Black Hawk 20 and Old Ide 810; 6 crosses each to Peters’ Ethan Allen 2nd 406 and the American Saddlebred Harrison Chief 1606. 298 crosses to JM in 12 generations, 14.4% of his blood. 100% Old Government breeding. 8 Generation Coefficient of Inbreeding: 1.59111022949219%. Registered Morgan progeny: 77 colts, 61 fillies.

In 1943 World War II was raging across the globe. Ted Davis, a former automobile dealer in Windsor, Vermont, wanted the colt bred by his neighbor, but as a government employee for the duration, had neither time nor money. After V-J Day, Ted returned to the automobile business and did well. By early 1947, he was able to track down and purchase Upwey Ben Don near Rome, New York. “In 1947, Upwey Ben Don was 5th in Stallions In-Hand at the National; four years later, in 1951, he was Grand Champion Stallion at the same show”—Sue M. Brander, “Upwey Ben Don: the Horse of the Century”, The Morgan Horse”, October 1997, pp20-46.

Upwey Ben Don’s show record included: Grand Champion Morgan Saddle Horse, National Morgan Horse Show, 1948; Grand Champion Model Morgan Stallion, N.M.H.S., 1951; Reserve Grand Champion Morgan Saddle Horse, N.M.H.S., 1949-50; Reserve Grand Champion Model Morgan Stallion, N.MH.S., 1950; Three time winner, Stallions under Saddle, N.M.H.S., 1948-49-50; New England Grand Champion Morgan, 1948-49; Vermont Grand Champion Morgan, 1948-49. “In 1958 after winning the Get of Sire Class for five consecutive years, Upwey Ben Don was retired ‘to let another stallion have a chance.’ In recognition of his record Wind- Crest offered the Upwey Ben Don Challenge Trophy to be won five consecutive times for permanent possession.”—Patty Davis Ferguson, “Upwey Ben Don: 22 Years Old” The Morgan Horse, March 1965, p63. Upwey Ben Don was one of the 22 initial horses inaugurated into the AMHA Show Horse Hall of Fame (registered Morgans with three or more Grand Champion titles). He was also sire or grandsire of 6 more (Kadenvale Don, Townshend Debadonna, Waseeka’s Skylark, Windcrest Dona Lee [called the greatest show mare of all time], Wind-Crest Donfield, and Windcrest Fireball) and maternal uncle of still another: Waseeka’s Nocturne (Starfire x Upwey Benn Quietude).

Upwey Ben Don epitomized the Morgan stallion with a top Show record that went on to produce top quality foals. Although considered controversial by some for his saddlebred blood, Upwey Ben Don was said to resemble greatly his maternal grandsire, the pre- potent government sire, Troubadour of Willowmoor.

12 He crossed well with government, Brunk, and Lippitt mares. His offspring “dominated the New England show ring during the 1950s and 1960s, [then] went on to become a potent genetic force [in the Morgan breed]” ----Desiree DeVries, “The Golden Gene Pool: Part II, The Lippitt Family”, The Morgan Horse, August 2000, p118.

Of Morgan horses foaled from about 1988 to 1996, with registration numbers 115000 to Kadenvale Don 139000, which is 24,000 horses, 47.25% have Upwey Ben Don on their pedigrees.
