CECIL FERGUSO We are now starting a new year with the future ahead and the past to be forgotten. The rules for showing Morgans have been clarified which should make. them easier for everyone to understand. The wo.rds such as excessive have been removed and actual measurements put in their place. If we are going to increase the interest in Morgans, they must be shown in a dignified manner and handled in such a way that the average buyer of Morgans can show his horse competitively. It is very disconcerting to praise our Morgans on the. one hand as having such uperb qualities and then find people with petitio;1s and what not saying it is impossible to how a Morgan unless we have abnormally long f.eet, about three pounds of weight, gingered tails, etc. With this kind of petitioning it is no wo)lder people turn to a natural horse like the Arab, Appaloosa or a 16 hand hunter with 3 Yz" ties. There will always be some people who. will try to beat the rules one way or another but, fortunately, for the Morgan breed, these are a small minority. Let's set an example. fo,r our younger members by fair play and a respect This month we are featuring an es for the rules. pecially fine head study of Bobolink Showing horses is supposed to be a sport o let's not let a few who win on 11868.
