STATEMENT OF OWNER: Rocky Bon has been a great show stallion as well as an outstanding pleasure driv- ing horse. This stallion has beaten some of the outstanding show Morgans in the east. Orcland Youlenda and Wind-Crest Nancy C are two of the finest Morgan fillies I have ever owned. Either one of these fillies would make an unusual ladies show mare. Selling these Morgans is like parting with members of the family but due to unusual business de- mands on my time I must sell them.

The competition and applause of the show-ring occupy our Morgans for only 18 to 22 weeks of the year. During the other 30, or so, weeks, our Morgans are consistently proving their value as servicable, tractable, and enduring, horses — in places where the only spectators are the squirrels. This is such an ordinary and normal part of their lives that we had neglected to give them any publicity for it, even though we are deeply appreciative of their pleasant companionship and cooperation. Consequently we were surprised to see so few other Morgans with con- sistent and noteworthy show-ring records being used by their owners for the NEMHA Foliage Ride. Further, be- cause our Morgans have always been multi-purpose horses, we were somewhat bewildered to discover that many other owners were astonished to see that Waseeka Morgans are WINDCREST SENTIMENTAL LADY accustomed to being used for trail riding. More than ever, Winner in Morgan Pleasure Driving Classes. we are very proud of our useful and versatile Morgans.
