GEORGE, UTAH Let's forget about "types" and talk about the fields of competition we have failed to prepare our Morgan horses for. By way of introducing this sub- ject or justifying mention of it, let us acknowledge two facts, namely, (1) that acceptance of the Morgan horse is too limited, far too limited for a breed so versatile and valuable, and (2) that if this situation is to change and the Morgan breed gain in favor and acquaintance, all Morgan breeders, regardless of location, must enter the campaign to broaden the field of competition for the Morgan horse to get wider acceptance and greatly increased ownership. Before we venture further, let us greatfully acknowledge the praise- worthy efforts and achievements of those devoted breeders of Morgan horses "Over the river and through the whose efforts have really been the salvation of the breed through the years.

West•Newbury, Massachusetts Mr. and Mrs. W. L. Orcutt, Jr., owners

Our new barn and indoor ring is now completed and we really enjoy it. In weather ''Fair or Foul" we can ride or drive! Our horses love it — we plan to take in a few boarders this coming year. Do pay us a visit here at the farm soon. Special Holiday Greetings to Squire Warner, our farrier here at the farm. Squire has been shoeing Morgans for over 45 years — and still is! — Merry Christmas and a most prosperous New Year Squire, from all of us here at the farm and every Morgan horse you ever put a shoe on.

Mrrrg Tilrilitintth To All The carriage industry reached its zenith in 1890, the beginning of the Gay Nineties (1890-1900). Naturally the term, Gay Nineties refers to a gay, scintillating era of color and elegance. I don't suppose this was so in the rural areas but it certainly applied to life in the cities. It was the heyday of fancy turnouts.

Perhaps we stress the good dispositions for which the Morgan breed has long been noted more than most. This is our three year old filly Merry Lark, by Townshend Manwallis out of April Showers by Squire Burger. Shown mounted is Miss Clara Per- kins who began the filly's saddle training late in June. Her success is only partly shown by the fact that, early in September, the mare was taken to two shows and ridden in a total of four classes, none of which was restricted to Morgan horses. Two blues, a red and a tricolor say she went well. Although our Morgans are not kept for show pur- poses, we can and do show them, usually in the open classes where a good performance does most to credit a breed. We find our horses have a will ingness, an innate kindliness and an easy adapta- bility found in no other breed. It has long been our belief that the pleasure Morgan was bred to be a Clara Perkins on Merry Lark 09353 model — and then trained to be something more than just a show horse.
