The Horse Was Lame, So . . . I BUILT A SWAMP

By W. DAYTON SUMNER

Homemade "swamp" helps to soften horse's hoofs and draw out fever. It is easy to build, requiring only a shovel and garden hose.

An hour or two of soaking a horse's feet in homemade "swamp" has been found to work wonders with several types of lameness. Pearl Ann was fourth for Ernest Mc- Elhinney of Morning Sun, Iowa.

By ANNA ELA

This was Gay Dancer's year! If you have never been to the Penn- sylvania National you don't know what you have missed. This is one of the largest shows in the East with over 700 horses exhibited this year. It is the largest show where Morgans are included and they did themselves proud again. At the Pennsylvania State Farm Show Arena in Harrisburg there are fourteen acres under one roof. This was the fourteenth annual show. Five international equestrian teams com- peted in the jumping events. The Royal Canadian Mounted Police put GLADGAY'S PRIDE and PROMENADE, full brother and sister, winning the Pair Class on daring exhibitions of real horse- at the 1959 Penn. National Horse Show. Owned by Mark Hanna. manship. Two, six-pony hitches were exhibited each day. There was never a dull minute from these events to the Walking Horses, Roadsters, Arabians, Western Horses, Ponies, Hunters, Jumpers, Parade Horses, three and five Gaited Saddle Horses, Hackneys, Fine Harness Horses and last but not least the Morgans. This was a great year for the Mor- gans. The Morgan Championship Stake Class was one of the most out- standing classes of the whole show. Fourteen top animals competed in this class. Practically all entries were con- sistent winners this season. Of the twelve breed classes, Morgans had the largest number of entries in the Cham- pionship Class. They outnumbered all other breeds in the Stake Class. The exhibitors are to be congratu- lated for the fine show they put on. What a day for the Morgans! To top this all off, a pair of Morgans won the Open Pair Class. This has been done now for many straight years. Let's do it again in 1960. The honor this year went to Promenade and Gladgay's Pride (full brother and sister) both owned by Mark Hanna of Framing- ham, Mass. They were ridden to this win by Dr. S. Robert Orcutt and Miss Pat Tatirolis.

We are offering for sale —

ONE MARE AND FOUR FILLIES OF TOP BLOODLINES

• The mare is bred for show and has been a winner in harness.

• The fillies are all sired by top stallions and from well-bred mares, three of the dams being show winners themselves. One filly is eligible to Michigan Futurity as a yearling. Another filly has had her first lessons and can be developed this winter to show in 1960.

• We also offer for sale a particularly attractive yearling stallion. He has type, conformation, color, and show horse ways all rolled into one package . . . the kind of Morgan everyone is looking for.

These are not cheap Morgans, for good Morgans are not cheap — but they will compare favorably with any you can find onywhere. Four of them are priced under $1000. They are stabled for the winter at our Allentown, Pa. stables.

Congratulations to Mr. A. J. Andreoli and family of Reata Farm, Akron, Ohio on their purchase of Vigilmarch 12044, sired by the Ela's great champion Orcland Vigildon and out of our producer of champions, Mayphil.

This colt was Mayphil's third foal to win its class at the National. He has won his class three consecutive years at the Eastern States Exposition. In addition, at this same show he was Reserve Champion weanling all breeds, Champion Yearling all breeds and in 1959 was GRAND CHAMPION MORGAN COLT.

In 1959, Vigilmarch won the two-year-old driving class at the National.

At Frederick, Maryland he won the Junior Harness Stake, the $100 Open Harness Stake, the Two-year- old Stallion Class and was GRAND CHAMPION MODEL STALLION.

VIGILMARCH IS THE 1959 HIGH SCORE AWARD MORGAN COLT CHAMPION.

We are honored to have Vigilmarch chosen to be Junior Stallion in such an enthusiastic long range show and breeding program as is being planned at Reata. Vigilmarch and Fleetwing should really make a good team to cross with their Polly Forrest mares.

We feel certain that Vigilmarch and his new trainer, Stanley Edwards already appreciate each other and don't envy the competition for the next few years.

We will be looking forward more than ever to our 1960 foal by Vigilmarch out of Mayquinn and the 1960 Ulendon foal from his dam Mayphil. We also have in the performance department, his full sister, Vigilmay, the first Morgan to ever win the N. E. H. C. HIGH SCORE AWARD OPEN COLT CHAMPIONSHIP, who is just coming of age, and may bear watching.
