NATIONAL MORGAN HORSE SHOW JULY ?6, 27 THE MORGAN HORSE

Oldest and Most Highly Esteemed of American Horses

MORGAN HORSES are owned the nation over and used in every kind of service where good saddle horses are a must. Each year finds many new owners of Morgans — each owner a great booster who won- ders why he didn't get wise to the best all-purpose saddle horse sooner. Keystone, the champion Morgan stallion owned by the Keystone Ranch, Entiat, Washington, was winner of the stock horse class at Wash- ington State Horse Show. Mabel Owen of Merrylegs Farm wanted to breed and raise hunters and jumpers. She planned on thoroughbreds until she discovered the Morgan could do everything the thoroughbred could do and the Morgan is calmer and more manageable. So the Morgan is her choice. The excellent Morgan stallion, Mickey Finn, owned by the Mar-La •antt Farms, Northville, Michigan, is another consistent winner in Western LITTLE FLY classes. A Morgan Horse on Western Range.

Spring Hope, the young Morgan mare owned by Caven-Glo Farm Westmont, Illinois, competed and won many western classes throughout the middle-west shows the past couple of years, leaving the popular Quar- ter horse behind in many instances. The several Morgan horses owned by Frances and Wilma Reichow of Lenore, Idaho, usually win the western classes wherever they show. J. C. Jackson & Sons operate Pleasant View Ranch, Harrison, Mon- tana. Their Morgan stallion, Fleetfield, is a many-times champion in western stock horse classes. They raise and sell many fine Morgan horses each year. Mr. and Mrs. Roy Jeser run the Twin View Ranch, Twin Falls, Idaho. They raise Morgan horses and Hereford cattle and find this a perfect A Morgan Horse as a Hunter. combination.

The saddle horse that excells at rounding up the mustangs on Utah- Nevada ranges, where the going is really tough, is the Morgan stallion, Little Fly, owned by Ern Pedler, Big Cottonwood Canyon, Utah. Here is a horse that can run like the wind in the roughest going and hold any- thing you can get a rope on. Escalanta, the outstanding Morgan stallion owned in St. George, Utah, is a useful stock horse. A horse that can really travel, smooth in his gaits, smart and alert; a horse that can go into the herd and bring out a cow and put it where you want it without fuss or loss of time. As a sire he is excellent and his breeding is the very best. This is the horse . you need to breed to that your saddle stock may be improved as you 4 would like it. MORGANS have been America's most useful breed of horse for over 150 years. The choice of the particular horseman. TIME TO BUY A MORGAN. ESCALANTA — Morgan Stallion.

Or perhaps I should begin by thanking Mrs. Morrell for the use of her letter as a "stalking horse." Or maybe there never is a proper beginning, I don't know. But several facts seem to have emerged from it and I would like to share them with you.

Morgan owners who do show a great deal express their preference for those very horses of my own that a preceding visitor has extolled for their "old type." People do know Morgan type. It is incontrovertible. No one of us needs the sight of a ringful of senior stallions or mares, representative of almost all the major Morgan families yet showing a truly Letters remarkable over-all evenness of type, to know that.

Massachusetts Rex Trailer's WBZ-TV Show, Sat- urday, June 7th, gave Morgans, and the National Show in particular, 3 separate time slots so the wide audience would have an opportunity to become acquainted with the breed and the Show. Dyberry Buddy, Warren Patri- quin's lovely little stallion carried the colors and came back again later with Warren's tiny daughter Marcia up in front of her Daddy for an exhibition of the kind of harndiness and sweet manners which owners expect of Mor- gan stallions. Dyberry Buddy was shown in Western tack while Town- shend brought Manzanita and West- fall Barby to represent the Morgan as GREEN MT.
