Members Present-Karen Grace Brunsell, Debbie Fairbanks, Karla Gay, Mary Ellen Gray, Jim Harris, Jeff Heise, Katz Jackson, Ronald Loos, Carol Pasbrig, Annie Randall, Lauraine Smith, Judy Tate, Amy Ziegler

Call to order - President Ron Loos called the meeting to order at 12:40 PM following lunch. Introductions were made and new member, Karen Grace Brunsell, and returning member, Karla Gay, were welcomed into the club. Approval of Minutes - October 19, 2014 meeting minutes - Jeff Heise moved to approve. Jim seconded. Motion passed.

Treasurer’s Report - Chrissy forwarded checking and CD amounts to Katz. The checking account - balance of $7428.25; the CD was the same as last month, $5107.52. Carol moved to accept the Treasurer’s Report. Debbie seconded. Motion passed.

Directory & Membership Report-Chairperson Debbie requested that all use the revised form distributed on this date. Edits were made to the form included in the November newsletter. Dues must be paid by January 31 to be included in the 2015 Directory.

Website - New web-master Heidi Harvey is planning to review the newly designed WMHC website and will demonstrate how to work with the site, including the Facebook feature, at the January 2015 meeting.

Newsletter-Mary Ellen provided some information about the MN newsletter, which moved their quarterly publication on-line, with loss of advertising and a total of only six pages. WMHC’s directory costs approx. 70 cents to ship and $1.00 to print. Overall consensus of the group was to retain hard copies of our newsletter, and continue to include special articles. Marsha Valence’s articles on the history of famous Morgan horses were especially noted as adding value to the newsletter.

Historian - Chrissy Kirch was not present-no report.

Library-Carol Pasbrig encouraged all to see the list of books and video tapes in the November newsletter that are available for check out. An effort is being made to get some of the VHS tapes recorded onto the more user-friendly DVD format in the next several weeks. The tapes provide a valuable repository of knowledge and we look forward to having at least some of them copied into the more usable form.

Wisconsin Horse Council (WHC)-Representative Jim Harris reported on the WHC, which he stated is comprised of a very diverse group of individuals interested in promoting the equine industry. Jim clarified that WHC membership has three levels, from individual to association-based. Jim represents WMHC as a Level III Director with voting rights. He also noted the availability of $1 Million Excess Liability Insurance for members and an opportunity to advertise in the newsletter. The council employs a legislative contact who reports at every meeting on upcoming issues and solicits ideas to bring to the Legislature. The WHC monthly Council Letter provides a good summary of upcoming activities and events.

WHC provides opportunities for a variety of grants each year for initiatives that are mainly educational in nature. Grant applications are due by January 31 with funds becoming available July 1 of that year. Educational events, trail building, printed material, clinics and seminars are examples of activities funded. Ideas for our club might include the Morgan Field Day, possibly individual application for individuals majoring in an equine-related field, funding for personal acquisition of equine massage therapy program. Much more information is also available on the WHC website, including examples of previously granted scholarships.

Wisconsin State Horse Council’s Equine Foundation (WHCEF) is a tax exempt non-profit 501(c)(3) component of the WHC whose purpose is raise funds to support equine needs. As such, individuals can make tax exempt contributions. All were encouraged all to check out the WHC website at www.wisconsinhorsecouncil.org for more information on all aspects of WHC and its initiatives.

At this time the council is spending much time and effort on the upcoming Midwest Horse Fair (MHF), scheduled for April 17, 18, and 19, 2015, with the theme of “Galloping into the Future”.

Morgan Demo at MHF-Chair Lauraine Smith shared comprehensive packets of information on the MHF Morgan demo. She emphasized the importance of honoring application deadlines. Last year she had a hard time getting all information in on time. All are requested to see her handout, including the information on the new stall dimensions. Hopefully there will be a good number of horses who want to participate. Individuals bringing horse(s) must be members of WMHC. Morgan stallions are also encouraged to join our group, and a young Justin Morgan will also be needed, similar to in 2014.

Charity Horse Show-Chair Jeff Heise reported that Mandt Equestrian Center was sold to an in-house trainer. A previous contact stated ground fees may go up and health certificates may also be required. There are reportedly more boarders, which will result in a restricted number of available stalls. Jeff agreed to check back with Mandt again, especially given the tradition of going there since 2009 in early June. Some regular show attendees might be lost with new date and location. Other location possibilities might be the Alliant Center, or an Oshkosh facility. An answer will be needed by the end of the year. Folks should contact Jeff with any ideas regarding the show. continued on page 11 3 VIDEO: Downtown Baraboo Christmas Light Parade There are 4 videos on this site. Go to Video # 3.

VIDEO: Downtown Baraboo Christmas Light Parade and Tree Lighting : Baraboo News Republic

The 2014 parade participants, two and four footed, have done a great job, sometimes under trying circumstances - just ask that cutie, Alexander! The Holiday parade in Baraboo, with everyone dressed in tinsel and lights, was an especially impressive undertaking. I asked all the 2 footed paraders from this year to share a thought or two. Thanks guys. pictures thanks to Eleanor and, Lauraine. They will look better on our website. I thoroughly enjoyed participating in four parades this year. It's great fun and the camaraderie is wonderful. Witwen was the first parade of the year. Phaedra and I left home early because the last time we did the parade we were late. The drive went smoothly until we hit Sauk City and the bridge was out. Then I couldn't find the rest of the unit, so once again I was late. We rushed and got ready and the parade went fine. Afterwards some of us went to the tasty chicken dinner. It was a lovely day and the company was fun. The other parades went smoothly as well, and it was a great season. More club members need to take advantage of this fabulous way to get our Morgan horses seen in public. Beth Anne (Heyrman)

My comment: parades are fun! My first year and looking forward to next year. The ladies are very well organized and Darcy is so much fun. Rosetta (RBD Dream Come True) was a champ in her 1st parade on the 4th at Witwen. I thought it would be too long of a day at Warrens for a youngster so I led a horse of Darcy's (Roxy). Happy trails, Carmen Dederich

O.k. When asked by the WI Morgan Horse Club to participate in Baraboo's Holiday Light parade, I wanted to say "NO! How insane to ride horses festooned with blinking light on cold, slippery roads in the dark, through streets lined with children and adults who no longer know to stand back from prancing horses.....!" But I was begged (the Club had promised at least 10 mounted horses), so I relented and took Talon. Talon handled it all very well, and it turned out to be fun! Kids kept yelling "Can I pet your horse?", just as I would have at that age. I do wonder often about where the next generation of horse riders will come from.... so last night I did my bit to help keep the mystery and magnetism alive. Eleanor Chiquoine (lifted form facebook)

4 Here are some off-the-cuff comments from Annie Randall: True! It takes us 2 days (one for clipping, one for bathing & primping) to get 3 horses ready for parades and it costs a small fortune to haul horses. (Thank heavens the club gives us some gas money.) True! Our club is spread out and we have to rely on more than a little help from our non-club friends. True! My horse Alexander is terrified and I am even more "afeared" than he is! Mind you, Gryphie and Sophy take pretty much everything in stride but I don't get to ride either of them! True! Alexander's reputation has now been ruined (although people think I am some sort of bruising expert rider. Ha ha ha.) Picture Baraboo News Republic. This is grossly unfair since he is sweet, honest, and never tries Alexander made it to the front page of the to get the upper hand with a human. Furthermore he is very paper today plus the website. (It looks like I brave on trails and will do anything I ask on the ground am yelling "whoa" or something!) Thanks to (including standing on a stump and waving his lip in the air if I everyone for making it happen including new ask him if he is a little elephant. I mean, how much is that members Susan, Karla and . It was GREAT! worth?! Mr. Ed made tons just standing in his stall...no stump at all.) True! Way more than 100.000 people saw our beautiful Morgans (elegantly clad) in 6 different parades. Our season I participated in several parades this year with our mare, "Feather Ridge Feather". She doesn't really culminates with the Baraboo Lighted Christmas Parade and mind the bands and is a good flag carrier, even though you had to see it to believe how wonderful our TEN Morgans each parade has its own unique characteristics in terms looked bedecked in silvery lights. Patti's manure cart was of seemingly simple things like parking one's trailer, pretty darn cute too! getting set up, parade route, and spectators. I don't True! The parade unit, through the aggressive marketing of think I've ever seen such an amalgamation of all age Darcy Overturf, now commands a pretty penny to participate groups, from tiny infants in carriages to old folks in wheel chairs, waving at us and cheering us on as our and the resulting funds make other endeavors possible, from unit passed by. My daughter, Jess, also joined us for the Midwest Horse Fair to breed promotion and charities. the Baraboo Lights Parade with her AQHA three year True! No one will complain louder than me, the Empress of old mare, "Whiskey", and they blended in beautifully Whine, but I am so grateful to my friends (Morgan and with our Morgan group. Feather even got to ride with otherwise) and will undoubtedly be back on my little firebrand her full sister, Talon, at that parade. Very sweet! Parades take a lot of work to get ready for, but the pay- at Witwen on the 4th of July. This is because Alexander and I off. literally, is wonderful, both for participants and for will have had almost 8 months to regain our courage and, if he our club. Katz (Jackson) has gotten used to fireworks (he'll be 19 years old after all)

5 Farm /People News

Flower Valley Morgan Farm. It was a very busy summer and fall. Once the rains stopped we were fortunate to have a bumper crop of hay this year so our herd (15 Morgans) will be well fed this winter, which appears will be a long one. Our foals have been weaned and are doing well: 2014 filly Kells Xquisite Jewel (Kells Above R Xpectations x Do More Diamond Dream) tries to ignore the “boy” antics of Kells Destined To Xcel (Kells Above R Xpectations x Kells Magic Karess) and Kells Full Moon Rising (Whippoorwill Newmoon x Kells Maija Blessed Event). We plan to retain Moon, while Jewel and Desi are offered for sale, as we can produce those crosses again.

We will be expecting three foals in 2015 - Bird Flirt GD, Kells Magic In The Heir, and Kells Onyx Pearl are all bred to Kells Above R Xpectations and Kells Accent On Xcellence getting some confirmed in foal. Kells Ruby McBride Flynn was exercise also bred but is out on lease.

We traveled to Prairie Du Chien WI to watch the Villa Louis Carriage Classic in early September. There were about a dozen Morgans participating including a couple of our breeding. Enjoyed seeing all the various driving vehicles and horses ranging from minis to large draft cross breeds.

Attached photo is of Kells Accent On Xcellence (Kells Above R Xpectations x Blue Knolls Delphia) – 7 year old gelding trained and ridden by Lindsey Kahn. We are very excited about what Lindsey has done with Onyx. He is one versatile boy and is also Suzie Smith’s THW's Diva and her buddy, shared with a 13 year old rider. Love to see our Stella, the mule. The have grown up Morgans grow up and used to their full potential. together and remain good friends. Photo credit - Derith Vogt of D & G Photography.

I hope everyone had a blessed Thanksgiving (there is lots to be thankful for) and have a very Merry Christmas. Our daughter and 4 year old granddaughter, McKenna, who live in North Carolina will be with us for Christmas, so very excited about that. I need to get a helmet and smaller sized saddle since McKenna has decided she enjoys the horses. Coming 34 year old Pittridge Shonda is her horse now. Cindy Kells www.kellsmorgans.com

7 SUMMARY OF 2014 HYLEE FARM PRODUCTION AND CONSIGNMENT AUCTION

The 7th HyLee Farm Production and Consignment Auction had 15 consignors bring 26 head to be sold. All of the horses were of great quality and presented in high order. Of the 26 head there were 5 who did not meet their reserve. The total of the auction was $71,100.00. Of the 21 head that sold the average was $3386.00. The Top 5 selling horses averaged $8500.00. Both averages were down some from the 2013 auction.

We had the repeat consignors of Wingait Farm, Oldfield Farm, Rustic View Farm, Tripolgy Morgan Farm, Dan Yoder, Bonnie Anderson, Arcola Farm and HyLee Farm. New consignors came from clients of Lynn and Kathleen Peebles, Melissa Lambrecht and Jonalyn Guinup, and S & D Morgans. We had a nice blend of young horses, broodmares, trail horses, hunt and English pleasure horses. Buyers were active on the phone, the DVAuction internet and live bidding in the house. This year we did not have any Canadian buyers as in 2013.

The auction was staffed with the incredible group who make the auction possible. Bill and Terry Addis and their staff managed the auction; Terryl Smith provided the Preview’s wonderful snacks and the great tasting food for auction day. Doug Irvine read pedigrees and offered valuable notes for the horses going through the auction arena. DVAuction has provided a great venue for non-attending buyers to participate. Preparation for the auction is no small feat and could not be done without the staff of HyLee Farm, with Melanie Jelle being the Auction Coordinator, LaVern Stamplfi in charge of set up and footing, Tasha Smazinski presenting many of the horses with the help of my good friend Tim Coss, and the rest of the HyLee staff.

Topping the auction was a 3-year old gelding from Tripolgy Morgan Farm, GGG Instyle by Mastroianni. He was bred by the late Gary Glover. Kathy Gefke, Tipperary Ridge, purchased him for her daughter, Samee for $12,000.00. Kathy Gefke had her eye on another young western prospect who had 60 days of training by Dan Lynch and presented by Rachel Perrin, HyLee’s Pin Oak Dude, by HyLee’s Rare Flaire, who brought $10,000.00. A wonderful young horse, though only 2-years old who showed incredible promise for the future. Third high selling was a very impressive and bold daughter of Minion Millennium, Flintwood’s Margaret, with Mark Yoder signing the ticket for $9000.00. Fourth high seller was a Bell Flaire daughter, Banbury Hill Belletrist, and fancy-bold hunter to HyLee Farm for $6300.00. Fifth high seller was Bucksnort’s Yellow Eagle, a palomino trail horse from Dan Yoder who sold to Sharon McGann for $5200.00.

We appreciate all who come to sell and to purchase at the auction and everyone who is involved in helping put this auction on. With the downsizing of HyLee Farm’s Production portion of the auction future auctions will depend on committed consignments from outside consignors to continue. HyLee has, in the past consigned a measurable number to the auction. If you are interested in consigning in 2015 please let me know as we would need a minimum of 36 head and can only stall 40 head.

Katz Jackson When weather reports predicted super fine weather for the last weekend in October, I was prompted, urged, practically forced to get some reservations in for some camping at our long-time favorite campground in WI, Wildcat Mountain. Since it would be a Friday – Monday proposed time frame, I decided to take only one of our Morgans, Feather Ridge Butte, this time, along with Myrtle, my favorite-and only- mule. My sister, Joan, and daughter Jess and her boyfriend, Tim, would also go, along with half a kennel of family dogs, and their Quarter Horses, that ranged in age from two to twenty-five years of age. Butte and Myrtle and Katz, of course Joan and I arrived after dark on Friday evening and managed to find our assigned campsite by flashlight, and quickly got our campsite arranged. Once the horses and mule were settled on their high line with hay bags and water pails, they were as content as could be, and we could all get together for some nice campfire vittles and eventually some sleep. While coyotes barked and cried, owls hooted, falling stars entertained us, and next-door identical boys helped get our fire started, we too settled in for some stories and nice relaxed time together.

As for riding conditions, the leaves were just past their peak and trails were slippery in some spots, but horses were sure-footed, camaraderie along the trail was very positive, and groups waited for one another to pass narrow spots safely in order to avoid calamity. We had a super fine time and even decided to load up on Sunday to partake in the famous Rockton chicken roast and trails right outside the restaurant’s back door. Horses and mule got to practice going over the covered bridge that sounded really cool as one crossed it. All in all, horses got along fine, as did all of us, and it was only with regret that we pulled the plug-yup, we had electricity for the first time there ever-late Monday afternoon and headed back home. A fine choice of activity for those precious late fall days and so glad I got off the fence and made those reservations! as always I am sooooo jealous ed.

10 Minutes con’t. A discussion was held regarding the charity selection for 2015. Carol shared info on LifeStriders’ Therapeutic Riding Program, www.lifestriders.org, located in Waukesha, where she participates as a rider. They offer a wide variety of offerings, including 92 people who come for riding. She recommended a review of their website. Annie suggested the V.E.T.S. Program, which was a recipient in 2014. Members voted to donate to two entities, both LifeStriders and V.E.T.S. Program. Distribution amounts can be determined later, depending on how much money the show makes. The use of the terminology “Proceeds will benefit…” in the flyer was recommended.

Parades-Chair Darcy Overturf was absent. The final parade of the year is the Baraboo Lights Parade next Saturday, November 22, at 6:00 PM. Crowds have so much enjoyed the Morgan group and its professional look over the years. The event will be televised and available on the local “Downtown Baraboo Station”. To date, two individuals have volunteered to carry the banner along with two others to hand out flyers. More volunteers are always welcome.

Trail Rides-Amy Ziegler reported on trail rides thus far and hopes to get another one organized in December. The events have been very successful.

Unfinished Business- Christmas/Holiday Party-The annual party is scheduled for Sunday, December 14, at Fox and Hounds, Hubertus. Jeff made a motion to bring food donations instead of having the gift exchange. Judy seconded. Motion passed. Carol agreed to collect and deliver the items to a food pantry. She will also collect money for the meal before we eat, which is $21.00 for adults; $18.50 for seniors. Mary Ellen will send out a reminder. Carol requested RSVP prior to Dec. 14th.

Fermentation Days-Annie Randall provided more information on the Fermentation Days, which feature rural life and the arts, including food. Participants are on display at specific times for “pasture performances”, somewhat like a Field Day. Send any ideas to Annie regarding possible participation in this event next year. Meeting Ideas-Carol needs fresh ideas on activities to offer at meetings, e.g. tandem driving demo in Ma y -Lauraine agreed to talk with Wes Licht. Ideas are needed for February and March, with one idea being Sandmire’s with ! from December issue of Wheel to Wheel -Hub Club Chrissy. Carol is also exploring scheduling meetings on different days of the week, e.g. "#$!%&'()*!+##,!-.*)!"&$/ Friday night fish fry? New Business-A fund raising event is being planned by Sarah Ackermann in early February for Sue Ackermann severe head injury. Additional voluntary donations will be collected at both the Christmas party and the January meeting. Incoming treasurer, Judy Tate, will take responsibility for the collection. Judy also brought several club promotional items to the meeting and She moved that proceeds would go toward the Ackermann fund. Katz seconded.

13 Learn Some Morgan History as reported by Marsha Valance

Dundee 6479 (Meteor 2nd 4459 x Carrie Gates 0390) Chestnut, star, left hind coronet white. Bred by the U.S. Morgan Horse Farm. Foaled 1910, Middlebury, Vermont. Retained as a breeding stallion. Gelded 1921. Sold to Mr. Smith of Cornwall Bridge, Connecticut, for use in harness and under saddle. 9 crosses to Black Hawk 20; 16 crosses to Sherman Morgan 6; 38 crosses to Justin Morgan. 100% Old Government breeding. 8 Generation Coefficient of Inbreeding: 2.66044139862061%. Recorded progeny: 2 colts, 3 fillies.

Dundee was from the 1st generation bred by the government farm. His sire, Meteor 2nd, was a Blackhawk-line proven sire of trotters purchased by the Dept. of Agriculture in the Midwest; his dam, Carrie Gates, also of proven trotting blood, was by General Gates out of the Daniel Lambert daughter Caroline. Dundee was ranked 6th among the 8 early government herd sires who impacted the cavalry breeding program—after Monterey, Mansfield, Bennington, Troubadour of Willowmoor, Red Oak and General Gates. Of the 74 foals Dundee sired at the Morgan Horse Farm, 50 were culled & sold unregistered; 16 were stillborn; and 8 were retained for further consideration. Of those 8, only 3 were registered—Hippona, Ivan [gelded], & Klyona. His other 2 recorded foals, Beauty & Dandee, were sired for outside breeders. Only Klyona bred on.

It is hard to say why those in authority at the government farm decided to geld Dundee—possibly because of his high rate of stillbirths—4x that of Bennington, the next highest stallion on the herdsire list. His cull ranking [50] was less than Red Oak’s [60], but 1/3 higher than Scotland [34], whose list ranking was 7, but was left entire. After a century, it’s hard to say. Even his remarkable daughter Klyona 3313 was culled as a two-year-old because of her small size, but was reacquired later. What can be said is that from his photos, Dundee himself possessed a “Hugely laid back shoulder, short back, long deep quarters, short strong, flat legs, short cannons [and] stood over a lot of ground. It is a shame he was not appreciated.”—Joanne Curtis. Klyona (out of the General Gates daughter Calve) proved one of the outstanding broodmares at the government farm. Dam of 9 colts and 6 fillies, Klyona foaled Abbott, Tiffany, Upwey Ben Scott & Upwey Mont-Ona—4 stallions that made significant contributions to the breed. Abbott and Upwey Ben Scott were both used by the army remount program, as well as siring registered foals in the Northwest and for Owen Moon, respectively. Tiffany was traded to J.C. Brunk of Illinois, where his foals included Fanita [dam of Senator Graham], Night Tide [sire of Barberry], and Tarron [sire of Congo]. Upwey Mont-Ona was behind the Earlham College breeding program.

The descendants of both Dundee and his half brother, Forester (who also bred on through a single daughter, Juno) were magnificent baroque Morgans, with beautiful arched neck sets, clean throat latches, long croups, and excellent legs. Their sire, Meteor 2nd (aka Meteor Morgan) 4459 was one of the first stallions purchased for the government farm. Bred by D. M. McNair of Cherry Valley, Illinois, Meteor 2nd was by Meteor 3840 out of Lady Alice (Winnebago Chief 263 x James Campbell’s brown mare by Brown’s Senator by Cassius M. Clay 164). The Meteor line, described by the Morgan Horse Register as possessing “great style and action” was highly valued by Texan Richard Sellman, who incorporated it into his breeding program. The line was slow to mature, however, which may have led to their undervaluation by farm staff. Or Mr. Smith of Connecticut may have wanted a gelding, & requested Dundee’s castration be done upon purchase. Whatever the reasoning, it was poor decision-making for the Morgan gene pool as a whole, when the quality of their offspring’s produce is taken into account.
