REGISTRY REPORT Karen Smith, Registrar
I can‘t believe it is 2009 already. Soon new foals will be running in the spring pastures. Are you expecting a foal from a Morab to Morab breeding? The Morab to Morab Breeding Incentive committee is offering a special handwritten calligraphy registration certificate including a photo of the foal at no extra charge. WOW! What a great way to celebrate the next generation of Morabs. Did you miss last summer‘s special, it is back. Morabs 2 years of age or older will receive $25.00 off the cost of a new registration until May 30, 2009. What a deal! Last year 6 older Morabs were registered using this discount, I am sure there are more out there. Let‘s get the word out and get those older Morabs registered. Do you know someone who has a Morab, but hasn‘t sent in the transfer? Are you selling or buying a Morab? For a limited time we are offering a special non-member transfer fee of $35.00. This transfer will NOT include an IMBA membership or its benefits. Of course, the regular non-member price of $60.00 including a membership is still available and the best deal. We are offering this special in hopes that those who have been waiting to transfer their Morab will now be able to be the recorded owner of their special Morab. Don‘t delay this special ends May 30, 2009.
attending in person; everyone else attended via phone. This will be a great way to involve more members in the meeting. A newsletter was sent out in January highlighting the meeting. If you did not receive one, please let me know. I have had reports that some did not fare well going through the postal system, I apologize for this and will make sure another is sent to you. The 2009 Annual meeting will be held at Ingrid Buchmeier‘s in Lander Wyoming on November 07, 2009. With only 2 issues of the MP this year, please keep it handy or check the website for upcoming deadlines for our awards, MP, online show, specials, etc. If you have any questions please contact the IMBA office.

We are also offering many different levels of advertising. If you don‘t have a business to advertise, take advantage of our smaller fun ads.

VIEW FROM THE CHAIR Ingrid Buchmeier, Chairman
Greetings from Wyoming. I am honored to be the Chairperson for this year. The next Annual meeting will be in Lander WY. However, we will be having the meeting via phone conference and this year I hope all members and guests are able to participate. If you want to listen in, or participate in our meeting, please ask us about the options. If you want to come to Lander, Wyoming, I will show you the sights, the horses, and help find a place for you to stay while you are here. Please let me know in advance if you want to come in November for the meeting, so I can make arrangements or help you find accommodations. IMBA is a great organization made up of its members. Perhaps you see no benefit to being a part of something like IMBA if you are not actively breeding Morabs, if that is the case, I would like you to consider joining IMBA anyway. Keeping in touch with other Morab lovers is important in a small group like ours. Each of you helps keep our registry functioning in these tough economic times. People are not breeding as many horses in today‘s market and hat is a good thing. IMBA too must tighten its belt and decide what is essential as registration and transfers are down. If you are a breeder like I am, you are contemplating this next breeding season. If you are an owner, you are thinking about where you will get hay this next year. We must face the fact that horses are considered a luxury and therefore, they are expensive to own. As the economy improves, horses will have more value again and as horses have more value; our breed can really shine as we are not fad breeders. We have no reason for people to follow a fad since we are not in that segment of the industry. That is a good thing for the Morab. Our Morabs will shine as they are great all around family horses. As IMBA grows, we can market the breed more
effectively so people who are looking for great horses can find them here with us, an association. It is my hope that IMBA can pull together and make the breed well known nationwide. I know it is tough in today‘s economy to showcase our breed, but hopefully with venues like our online show available, we can show off our horses without the costs associated with conventional showing. Please visit our IMBA Morab show. It is the only show IMBA puts on and is for all our members as well as all the registries and even non members can show their photos of horses. If you are reading this, you are likely serious about our organization. I hope you took the time to fill out the survey. If your thoughts are not reflected on the survey, call your favorite board member so we can know what you are thinking. IMBA needs each and every one of you to keep this small organization going. I urge you to consider volunteering for a committee. It's not too late to join us. Even if you think you can't be much help, at least you would find out how we operate and what you might like to do in the future to promote this great breed. Even if your ideas seem small, please share them. We are all ambassadors of the breed and I thank all of you for what you do. Morabs are great! Thank you for supporting our breed.

From The Editor Wendy Konichek This issue of the Morab Perspective is being printed by the online company www.docucopies.com We are very excited to have this issue of the MP be in full color. With the reduction in yearly issues of the MP this issue became a double-size issue, and took much more time to set-up than the previous issues. I also had a major problem with my software when I upgraded to MS Publisher 2007, everything that I already had done in MS Publisher 2003 was changed and had to be re-formatted; this took me numerous additional hours. Every place there was a text box it had to be re-done. After putting in over fifty hours on this issue, I quit keeping track of my time since it was becoming too much for a volunteer position. Hopefully you will appreciate my efforts. It was nice to have Farm News from some members that we have not heard from in awhile. A new feature this year is a Membership Directory that includes the Morab, Morgan and Arabian horses that our members submitted to be included. In the back of the MP you will find that list all of the IMBA fees. We hope that you use this issue as your reference guide throughout the year. The next issue is the Shows & Events issue so be sure to let us know what is going on with you and your horses. There is no charge to send articles and Farm News along with pictures. The Deadline is July 31. For more Information and Advertising Rates go to page 56.

EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR REPORT Karen Smith
Thank you for another great year with IMBA. Many members took advantage of our early-bird special and renewed their membership by January 31, 2009. New this year is a three-year membership option for individual and family memberships. We have had many people take advantage of the savings this offers.
A big Thank-you to Jane Licht, for her dedicated service to IMBA and the Board of Directors for many years. Jane will be greatly missed on the board, as she was a hard working director. She was always available when I needed help with letters, motions and many other tasks.
As a reminder, if you have not renewed your 2009 membership, this will be your last issue of the MP. I am very excited about this issue, it will be our first full color edition to be printed and bound by Docucopies. Wendy Konichek continues to be the MP editor and does a great job formatting the MP for printing. If you would like to advertise, send in an article or need more information, please contact Wendy at morabperspective@yahoo.com. The next deadline is July 30, 2009.
For those who may have sadly lost a dear Morab, Morgan or Arabian. I would like to remind you that we offer a ―Greener Pastures‖ article in the MP. If you would like to pay tribute and share the story of a horse that has passed on please contact the editor at morabperspective@yahoo.com.
I would like to say thank you to the Board for their hard work this past year. Thank you to all the members who returned their ballots. I was very pleased with the turnout. Congratulations to Daniel Smith and Denise Schneider for being elected to the board of directors and to Ingrid Buchmeier the new chairperson for 2009.
Have a blessed spring and enjoy your Morabs

RIDING THE TRAILS WITH JUDI JUDI DALY
Cruiser is All Right
sicker and sicker with worry.
If you have been reading my articles for the last couple years, you know what I have gone through with Cruiser‘s bowed tendon. It was early December last year when he re-injured his tendon on an easy ride. That is when the vet suggested testing him for insulin resistance and Cushings. It turned out he has insulin resistance, and we needed to change his diet. Once we did his tendon healed up and has been fine ever since.
I quit the ride early and rode Mingo. When we finished, there was no one else left at the stables. I put Mingo in his stall and took Cruiser back into the arena. I trotted him in hand, and he was as sound as can be. I breathed a big sigh of relief.
We had a terrific summer trail riding, but now with the dark evenings, the snow on the trail (he has shoes to support his tendon) and the frozen uneven ground on the chilly days that have no snow, Cruiser has been spending most of his time in the indoor arena. That has worked out well. I can still take Mingo, my Paint, out on the trail, on the weekends, unless the driveway is too icy. Cruiser is a very satisfying horse to work in the arena with his enthusiasm and willingness to cooperate, whereas, Mingo can be frustrating with his sleepy nature. I have been riding Cruiser in the arena, and he has been doing very well. Even though it has been over 2-1/2 years since he has had regular work in the arena, he is picking up nearly where he dropped off way back then. He is taking the bit, rounding up nicely, starting to collect and he has been very accurate. We still have plenty to work on, and by the time we get really good, it will be spring and I will be rushing out to the trail. A few weeks ago, I asked him to canter for the first time inside, and he took off bucking. That planted the seeds of my worry. Oh, I didn‘t worry that he misbehaved. I thought it was funny. Rather, I worried about him hurting himself during his antics. Now the vet didn‘t tell me he wasn‘t allowed to cavort about, but what if… I‘m happy to say he seemed fine. My sister, Ellen, was there that day, and she didn‘t see any lameness. He was fine the next day, too, but once I start worrying, it is hard to stop. On the trail, I checked to make sure he wasn‘t limping every ten minutes or so. In the arena, it turned into every ten seconds. Since I sit his trot in the arena, it was easy to check.
I rode Cruiser a few more times that week, and I kept having the same problems—head up, excited and a little spook now and then. Poor Ellen was getting reports from me. She is usually the one worrying and telling me her anxieties. Now, the tables were turned. The following weekend, when I was ready to ride Cruiser, my sister had a surprise for me. She announced that she brought her camera, and she was going to video us to prove to me that Cruiser wasn‘t limping. She took some shots early in the ride, when his head was higher, and I couldn‘t tell what he was doing; then she got a few minutes of us towards the end of the ride when he settled down. Later, when we were eating lunch at Burger King, she showed me on her camera screen what Cruiser was doing. I played all the clips, and the earliest one, I played a number of times. Cruiser didn‘t take a lame step. In fact, he moved quite nicely—and it wasn‘t even one of his good days. I felt the weight of the world lift off my shoulders. I couldn‘t believe it. All my worrying was for naught. My sister had a brilliant idea. My next ride with Cruiser, in the arena, was our best of the year. It is amazing how much better I ride when I‘m not worrying about lameness the whole time. Cruiser dropped his head at the beginning of the ride, rounded his back and trotted about just beautifully the whole time. I wish Ellen had been there with the camera that time—I would have loved to see what he looked like. Ellen has a saying, I‘m not sure exactly how it goes, but it is something like, ―The mind is a great servant, but a poor master.‖ How true.
After this episode, Cruiser changed his way of going. He started traveling at the trot with his head higher—slightly above the bit. This caused his back to hollow. Now, even down trail, when he would do this, I had trouble telling if he is sound. I think it is because he is bouncing me around. When I could talk his head back down—usually an easy thing to do, he seemed quite sound. By the next weekend, I had my sister still reassuring me that he wasn‘t limping, even with his head up. It helped me feel better, but that weekend, he decided it was time to spook at the two arena doors. I really don‘t know what it was all about, but it took me about three separate rides just to get him to go by the doors quietly. The next Monday, I was riding with some new boarders, so Cruiser was pretty excited. One of them started cantering, and Cruise felt that was his excuse to take off bucking—and he got quite far before I could stop him. Now, I was sure he must be lame. He was so wound up; I could barely trot him for a while. When I could, he head was way up in the air. I started to get

FARM NEWS Timber Rose Ranch Brookneal, Virginia By Denise Schneider Here we are in the middle of the Winter season. As I stand on my front deck looking at the snow needing to be scraped off of the cars, gearing myself up for my daily ice skating adventure while taking the horses out of the barn to turn them out into their paddocks (lucky for me that the horses are much more sure footed than I am, and more often than not they are the ones leading me!), I find that I am already looking forward to Spring. The horses have been enjoying their time off the past couple of months. Due to the ground conditions, we haven‘t done much riding. Either the ground has been as hard as cement, or a muddy nightmare. The one stretch where it wasn‘t so bad, we were smack in the middle of deer hunting season, and had people with guns patrolling our street, every hour or so, shooting anything that moved (and believe me, I have stories). Needless to say, the horses stayed in their paddocks, watching all the nonsense from over the fences.
Arabian Mare, due to foal in 2009. Since we haven‘t been able to do much with the horses, we have been busy doing things for the horses. We have just cleared out a six acre section behind our house for a brand new pasture for them. We have already cleaned up a lot of the scrap and are now burning a bunch of the stumps, a long and tedious process. Hopefully by Spring we will be ready to plant the grass and get it going. Then we will be able to work on getting the fencing up. It‘s funny. I never realized just how much work went into this kind of thing until we started doing it ourselves. On the plus side, all this physical work sure keeps us in shape! Our Arabian mare, the one that is in foal to Freedom‘s Patriot In Blue, is doing very well. She‘s over seven months into her pregnancy now, and if you put your hand on her flanks, you can feel the baby moving around. Star has been a hoot to watch since the baby started moving. It‘s her first foal, so it‘s all new to her, and I think she figures an alien has invaded her body. She‘ll feel it kicking and she‘ll turn her head and look at her
stomach, or she‘ll suddenly jump into the air as if somebody hit her and then go galloping around the field. On the days where baby is really active, she gets a bit grumpy. I have to admit, I can understand how she feels. I remember being pregnant with my daughter, and how strange it felt when she started kicking and rolling around in there. So, from one mother to another, I have spent quite a bit of time with her, just petting her and assuring her that it‘s okay and all is well. She likes the company, and will often stand with her head resting against me. It makes me wonder how she‘s going to be when it comes time to deliver. Will she be scared and upset, or will she surprise me and take it in stride? I guess we‘ll find that out in a few months…
Windmere Farm Appleton, Wisconsin By Carol King It‘s winter in Wisconsin, and what can I say? We just sort of make it from one cold snap, through another snowstorm, back into the deep freeze again, all the time wishing for sunny skies, with only a little wind. The horses are hairy and seem to appreciate their cozy stalls with plenty of hay overnight. Our colt, Flash, is growing fast and would dearly love a playmate, but none of the mares are interested in his silly games. He gets a lesson in proper manners every week or so, and quickly remembers who is in charge. I‘m looking forward to spring when the hair sheds out and we get to see his new summer coat, and how he has developed. I‘m hoping we will be able to geld him before the flies appear, but he has not dropped yet, so……we‘ll see. A couple weeks ago, I was just carrying on as usual; while checking the Morab mail, I saw a mare for sale that caught my interest. I was almost sure she was out of Windmere Erica, a Morab mare, I sold to Ted Luedke over twenty years ago. I called the number, and got no answer, so I left a message and was soon busy with something else. Later that day I returned home to find a message from a gentleman in Colorado who owned the mare. I called him back and found the mare is seven - years-old, and is a daughter of Erica, sired by Gentle Ben. She has been used, over the past four years, to raise mule babies. After some talking with Lawrence, I found he‘s looking for a good home for Windstar, and is reducing his herd because of his health. I talked to my husband about the possibility of getting her and after some discussion we decided to go ahead with the purchase. We won‘t be able to get her for a couple months, because of the weather, and also because we already have one or two horses too many. We have a nice unregistered Morab gelding we got for Joel to ride, and he‘s a great riding horse, but, he‘s only 14.2 and Joel is 6‘2‖, plus he‘s aggressive with my two older mares, and we‘d really like a mare we could use for breeding. Anyway, we will find a home for our gelding this spring, so that will clear a space for Windstar. I feel like I‘m getting a member of my family (of horses) back, even though I‘ve never seen her. I must say, after seeing the photo of her with her new baby mule foal, I think mule babies are REALLY CUTE! Continued on page 12

FARM NEWS Continued from page 12 Now I‘m really looking forward to warmer weather. We definitely will do more riding this summer, and will even hope to have our new mare at the Morab show, along with Flash. We just have to get through about two more months of cold and snow and sleet, although this weekend was wonderful. I think it must have been our January thaw which came a little late. I'll try to think positive and maybe spring will arrive early.

Champion overall halter mare, in a Wyoming county fair. She won over the paints and quarter horses, and I am very proud of her young owner. Congratulations, Stephanie! I also have a young filly, Red Rock Hunni Bunni ,out with a young lady, Taylor, who is just starting to show her Morabs and is very excited about horses. I wish them the best of Luck...... Go Taylor! I have seen some interest in Morabs here in our area as they are great horses. People are excited about the cross and are surprised at the size and power of the horses. I also have some smaller Morabs, but the larger ones tend to sell better. I personally think 15 hands is plenty big, but seems many folks want them over 15.2. I tell you what, when you take two powerful horses like the Arabian and the Morgan, combine them into a 15.3 hand athlete, it is a force to be reckoned with, amazing athletic ability and a brain.... whoa baby, that is one awesome horse. Come by and visit sometime. We would love to show you around. The photos included in this article are a bay yearling Morab stallion-prospect, Red Rock Sage. He is by Jazz Reata Hondo, and out of a home-bred mare, Redrock Jamala. He is a fourth-generation baby, here at Red Rock Horses. I owned his great grand-dam and on down through the generations. The young Morabs, vying for attention, are from the 2008 crop, friendly foals, again this year and a young man, who likes them just as much as they like him. The chestnut stallion "Ike" is in the third photo. He was feeling full of himself, so I snapped his photo. Please drop us a line or give us a call.
Red Rock Horses Lander, Wyoming By Ingrid Buchmeier We are looking forward to spring with anticipation, but have no foals coming this year. It is the first time in over twenty years we are not expecting at least one foal. This year we will concentrate on training and selling the horses we have from the past years that have not sold. We had four Morabs born in 2008, three of them fillies that I would like to add to my broodmare band. I, also, have a coming four-year-old filly, a coming two-year-old, and two who are leased out, that may come back into the fold at some point in the future. I am still planning on raising horses in the future, and am excited about the prospects of breeding the first crop of second-generation Morabs here at Red Rock Horses.

The stallion prospect, KC's I-Kinn Do It, aka ―Ike‖, is growing into a wonderful stallion. I am not sure if he will have any breeding to do this year. I have had a little interest in outside mares, and may consider letting him breed a couple of mares this year. He is coming three, and certainly mature enough to handle the breeding routine. He is very people-oriented, and I would love to see some of his foals on the ground. I may even see if he would like to charm a couple of my Morgan mares, for his first Morab foals in 2010. I also have two Arabian mares, who I would love to breed to my Morgan stallion, Jazz Reata Hondo, for Morab babies in 2010. I just have to see how the horse sales go this spring. One of my "babies", that is now five, was shown to Grand Morab Perspective 2008-2009 Breeders‘ Guide Page 12

Jericho‘s Royal Serenade Colorado By Marlene Erway Hopp Six years ago my faithful Arabian mare, CCR PCR Ptarmigan, had injured her hock; Spring was fast approaching the Rocky mountain region, and I had no horse to ride! I began the search for a horse, but was disappointed again and again. I had bred, raised and trained horses for over twenty five years, and just couldn‘t seem to find a trained ,sound, all-around Arabian or Half-Arabian horse. I tried other breeds, but found them lacking the sensibility, impulsion and stamina necessary, for long days of riding and camping in the mountains.
Jericho‘s Royal Serenade, Morab Mare
Then I found Jericho‘s Royal Serenade, a beautiful, tripleregistered, Palomino Morab, by Sir RAF Royale and out of the Arabian mare, Calanscio. Color had never been a prerequisite for me, but I must say that it was a nice ―extra‖ to see with this lovely mare. At 14.2 hands, she was sweet, sensible, of good conformation, and just the right size for my 5‘ 4‖, 130 pound frame. I asked her owner to lunge her, and was happy to see how well-behaved and responsive she was to verbal commands. Then I saddled her, rode her along the dirt roads through her transitions, and took her into the arena over some two-foot jumps. She loved it, and I was hooked! After a complete pre-purchase exam some weeks later, Serenade was mine. I have ridden this mare along some beautiful trails in Colorado, Wyoming, South Dakota, and New Mexico. She has been a good traveler, ties to a trailer quietly, and is very well-mannered, companion. We often ride alone in the mountains. When my husband, Alan, joins us for fishing and camping trips, or two-orthree-day rides, his big 16-hand horse can barely keep up with Serenade‘s steady, ground-covering walk. She is all business, has never lost a shoe, negotiates obstacles carefully, and takes care of herself. Eager to go and really fun to ride, she has finished all the 25-30 mile AERC sanctioned, limited distance rides

FARM NEWS Half Moon Farm Franklin, Vermont By Ronna Messier As we are about half-way through winter now, thoughts of spring time work and projects are in sight. We are having quite a snow storm today, but before we know it, the grass will be green and flowers growing. Right ? While we look forward to all of that, Jim and I are also looking into the possibility of putting up an Indoor Arena. We have spoken with a contractor, and are looking into small business loans, grants, business plans, etc.; there is a lot to be done and to consider. As we all know in these hard economic times a major project for the future is a lot to think about. I'd say we are not ready to give up yet, I find that being with our horses is like a renewing Breath from Heaven some days, keeping us going.
teenage girls here most days riding and just spending time with the horses. They had a great time and our summer was quite busy and exciting. We know, for sure, that at least two of them will be back this summer. Also, Karen Smith‘s daughter, Alex, is going to be here for a little while. We are so excited to have Alex be a part of our summer. Some of you know we had a Horse Show here this past summer; it went extremely well. The girls that were here made all of the ribbons, eighty-five of them, and put a tremendous amount of work into pulling this show off. We had great weather and a great turnout of spectators and riders. We are planning on doing the show again this summer. Who knows now but maybe we'll have some sort of an arena up by then. Wouldn't it be great to not have weather be a problem? We wish you all a wonderful year ahead !
So, that being said, back in the beginning of November we took our mare, LM Red Flare, to Ontario for breeding. She is still there and will be until at least until the end of April. Flare is a second-generation, 50/50 Morab, and the stallion, Chase, is also a 50/50 Morab. We are looking forward to the arrival of a third generation with great anticipation! Flare is with John and Carroll Norris, very nice people. We will try to keep everyone up to date on the breeding.

LM Red Flare, Morab mare On July 10, 2008, Midnight Glory was born( LM Black Powder x Half Moons Raisa). He is a gorgeous, black, second-generation Morab 50/50 colt. It seems that each one of the colts that we have out of Powder are awesome boys and only keep getting better. Then on July 23, 2008, Majestic Amir was born. Jessy is an Arabian colt (Half Moons Amir Fadl x HMF Starziz Arona). His sire is grey and the dam is black and right now it looks like Jessy is going to be a dark bay. What a sweetie he is. Also this summer we exchanged two miniature mares for a gaited Morgan mare, Gentlemen's Devoted Dixie. She is a very nice bay mare. Even me, the person who doesn't ride, has been on her. Our plans are to breed her to our Arabian stallion, Amir Fadl, and see if we get a gaited Morab. So, maybe in 2010, we will have a third-generation 50/50 foal, and a gaited Morab. During the past summer, we were fortunate to have had five

FARM NEWS Freedom Farm USA Cream Ridge, New Jersey By Karen Petersen Here on the farm, we‘re working through winter months and enjoying the changes of season. We now own seven Morabs; five mares and two stallions, and one Arabian mare. Because of the challenges of a weak economy, I think everyone is aware; horses are definitely not selling as well as in the past. This is something we must strongly consider when breeding and putting new lives on the ground. At this point in time, as I‘m writing this, we are not planning to breed for any more Morab foals. However, if anyone is interested in leasing either our stallions or our mares for breeding, please contact us. They can be leased on the farm for the cost of care, or they can be shipped out for leasing on your farm. We had a good experience with that, and we know that with good Morab people we can trust, we can have our horses back in good shape (or better!) than when they left us. Our cremello stallion, Freedom‘s Patriot in Blue, (Blue) will guarantee color bred to your mares. Just email me, or get in touch if you‘d like to discuss options. Both stallions are also for sale, as are all our Morabs. Within the horse world, there are industries that literally pump out new babies every year; we all know the racing industry is the prime example. Thoroughbreds, Standardbreds and also Quarter horses are bred to overabundance, (QH tops the list with well over 100,000 registered in 08 alone) and when they don‘t fit into the plans of the breeder, aren‘t fast enough, talented enough, they get dumped on the market, either at auction or to locals who are known to take them in, and then re-sell them. Some of those sources are in the business of retraining and finding good homes for them. Others are just parasites who like to take the free horse and just make what they can from it, regardless of whether it goes to the meat man at the auction or to an inexperienced owner, who will ultimately make the horse miserable, themselves miserable, or both. With costs being high to maintain horses, unless you can grow your own hay, people need to take into consideration how much it‘s going to take to maintain the horse. Purchasing, or ―acquiring‖ the horse is the least of most people‘s expense in horse ownership; at the very least, it‘s only the start. We get calls at least once a week for free horses looking for homes. Freedom Farm USA, in addition to breeding Morab horses, is primarily a boarding facility, and we‘ve seen more than our share of people who felt they could buy horses to ―rescue‖ them, and then get over their heads very quickly in board fees. Most who will read this article are Morab enthusiasts, so I can safely say, please don‘t ―rescue‖ horses unless you either own your own horse facilities, or have a very deep source of funding, to keep the horses boarded. Morabs are rarely given away, but just remember, there‘s no such thing as a ―free‖ horse. All of our Morabs are priced reflecting their level of training, usefulness, and in some cases, our fondness for the individual ( we don‘t want to part with some loved ones). But they ALL have a price, so if there‘s any that you have grown fond of yourself, please ask about it, and don‘t be shy; make us an offer! We do want to make sure they go to good homes, and that is more important to us than the numbers on the check. That being said, it‘s been
my experience that those who pay little, generally don‘t have the funds to keep the horse well, and/or don‘t have a problem dumping the horse because the loss isn‘t very great. So we will never ―give‖ horses away, unless it‘s to dear friends we know well, and we will also rarely sell a horse for what the auction would bring. Some, so called ―adoption fees‖ that certain organizations charge would be higher than some of our horses might sell for, but that is because the organization charges too much, not that we charge too little. ‗Nuff said. Two of my youngest daughters , both in college now, have taken a new interest in riding their Morabs, so between all of us, we are looking forward to getting them all going well under saddle this spring. Even with an indoor arena, it‘s tough to keep them in good shape through the winter, because of the cold, the ice, and the long hair and mud that our dear Morab friends seem to always find to roll in. It literally takes a good hour to just groom them well enough to put saddles on their backs. They are a sight to see when the ground thaws enough for it to get muddy, which has been happening alternately between cold spurts. White horses are now brown, and brown horses are gray. We have color changes regularly with our furry mudballs. Personally, I love the winter horse, complete with all the fluffy fur. But it does take a lot more time to groom them and get them ridden. Hay prices got you down? I‘m not sure what they are around the country this year, but for us, we‘ve seen the price of hay DOUBLE literally in the past three years. We had been paying $3.50 per bale and now we‘re fortunate to find hay for $7. So if you are blessed with good hay, at a good price, just remember to thank the Lord. We are praying for lowering hay prices (it would take a miracle, we know) . We are planning to have at least two farm shows this coming year, as well as doing some major improvements to the farm. We are hoping that the Morabs will do well in our farm schooling shows, and perhaps then it will be evident to the sporting world what talented horses these beautiful Morabs are!

FARM NEWS A & J Arabians Vicksburg, Michigan By Judi Struble It's been awhile since I've written anything so bear with me; I have been busy, as everyone else has, just trying to stay ahead of the raising prices on everything but the horses themselves. The market is very bad here in Michigan and broke horses are going for $200to $300, if that, at the auction rings. The young stock or unbroken, are worth nothing. Don‘t roll your eyes: I've seen nice, registered horses going to the kill pens, because not one person would bid $20 to $30 to save themt. The auctioneer was pleading for anyone to take the just-weaned babies home and give them a chance. I was going every week, and had to stop, as I ran out of people willing to take them, if I brought them home. It is very sad with people losing jobs and factories closing that the first thing to go are the horses; no one has the money or means to feed extra mouths right now. I have taken in two more, which puts me at eight Morabs and three Arabians. With my single income, it‘s very difficult to make ends meet. I was also lucky enough to get a filly from Judy Hinman, of Amberfields Morgans, this fall. In getting this little filly, I got to meet Wendy Konichek: it was great to put a face to the name. We had a little time to chat, as we traveled around to my other horses and to where my half-Morab was in training. Then it was time for her to go. I‘m hoping we will see each other again. The filly is a palomino Morgan, who has come down with baby warts; I've been told they will go away after they run the cycle. The truth of the matter is, I've never had a baby of mine ever have them, so I have no idea if and when the warts may disappear, I only hope I can show her this year. The two Arabians I got were free to me because of my relationship to the owner, both are broke to ride and have wonderful bloodlines. However I do not intend to breed any time soon. I have gelded, my Morab, Rimlos Snow Twister, as I was getting no calls or interest in breedings. I felt it too hard on him to stand alone and not be included in things. He is now a happy gelding, and I would consider free leasing on him, just to get him ridden on a much more regular basis. He has been to Lansing Expo three years, with two different trainers; Dreamer Stormie Nite, Morab he's just too much Gelding with Judi at the 2008 horse for me, if not ridden every day. I Lansing Michigan Expo. just turned fifty-one, and have found I don't bounce back as fast from a fall, so it‘s time to slow down and ride shorter horses. My band of mares
will stay open until the market picks up or they sell. I will not be doing the Expo this year; last year I took Dreamer Stormie Nite, my Morab gelding, and hopefully get some interest in just owning a Morab and promote the breed. The expo is fun and a great place to meet people, but most are just tire-kickers and are truly not interested in anything right now. I have hopes the market will improve and will try to keep, my stock as long as I can. But, I am flooded with calls to take in horses, seems twice a week at least and I feel so bad I can't help them all. The rescues in Michigan are full or in need of rescuing themselves. I can only say sad,sad,sad! The hay prices here are at$ 6.00 a 60 Lb bale if you can find it and can afford to buy it. Michigan had a nine week drought right after first cutting and second cutting didn't come on. I sent my half- Morab/pinto out for training and she is now also broke to ride; all my horses have had saddle time, just not enough of it. The local show grounds I've been using for show, including Morab classes, is in dire straits and may not hold as many shows. They are cancelling classes that are not being filled. I hope I can convince them to make the class Arabian/half Arabian/Morab, and combine classes instead of getting rid of the them. I fear I'm swimming an uphill stream as Arabians, are falling from favor, and it seems it's taking the Half- Arabs as well. The merging of PMHA and MHA is a step forward, in my opinion and I've had a hand in it from the start. I‘m glad it's one less organization I have to join every year. I truly believe, if we as MORAB breeders and owners, would come together for the horses, and leave the drama to the actors in Hollywood it would serve the MORAB breed better in the long run. This is the age of fast food and easy to register horses. If it isn't fast and easy, most people are not going to bother with it," oh" let‘s not forget, reasonable cost as well. I have had the opportunity to meet and work with several people from all three registries, and I can't say anything bad about anyone. I have heard several,‖ why and why nots‖, from all three registries The one common thing WE all share is our LOVE ofr Morabs; can we not built on that? We all care for the breed and feel it's worthy of our time, so why not try to get along with everyone. Personal feelings left aside, it is really just about the horses, and the horses don‘t care. As long as I'm on roll, I'd like to say I have an undocumented Morab that has done a wonderful job to promote the Morab breed. She has done parades, carrying the flag, expo's, visited senior homes been shown by a four- year-old. halter, walk-trot and has done it with the class and grace of any horse with papers, better than some I've seen at class "A" shows. I believe papers don't make a horse, training, time and the right temperament is what makes a great horse. I can't ride papers, but I can ride Lady Lace anywhere, or thru anything she is turning twenty -eight this year and I wish I had twenty more just like her, I could make a killing, because she's what everyone looks for a safe and sane horse anyone could ride. I have taken this mare all over the tri-state, and beyond, and she has drawn the attention from others and not been recognized as being a MORAB. It‘s kind of a game to me when asked what breed she is; I like to

FARM NEWS have them guess. The response is always Arabian or Morgan, I reply ―your half-right, blend it together and you‘ve got it; she's a Morab‖. It makes for a good conversation In closing, I would like to inform and advise. I was involved in looking for a horse here in Michigan, who threw his rider, a fourteen- -year-old girl, while out trail riding. The owners posted signs and knocked on every door locally. We even had a plane searching and got T.V news coverage. I rode my trusted, Lady Lace, as she will pull if needed and travel thru dense foliage. The weather was cold rain/snow mix. Liz, the young rider was thrown on a Saturday, and we searched everyday. On the return of walker/riders, Liz would run up and ask if we had anything. I personally found the hardest thing, to tell her we had not found any sign of him. The next weekend apLady Lace with Allen. proached and everyone wondered what could of happened to him. I listed on Craig‘s list for help in the search; e-mails flew thru the internet. The owner and I took off work to search the first week; the next week we emailed and answered all leads and tips, never knowing which one could lead us to Jeff, (the missing horse). That Saturday, thirteen days later, we organized the biggest search; we had to find out what happened to him. The outpouring of concern was unbelievable. We had strangers set up hot food for the searchers, walkers came, search dogs, riders from other states, 4-H kids, Boy Scouts, Brownie‘s. We had so many trailers filled with horses, that we were jammed in like sardines. We did a grid search-We all had given up and were calling it a day when the call came it that they have found him. We will never know how and why Jeff finally decided to show himself, but two Cass County sheriff mounted women found him injured and in very weak condition. Jeff had been impaled on a tree limb, and finally broke free, and was headed back to the camp, when he was found scared and shaking. A trailer was brought to him; he was loaded and was taken to a farm nearby were a vet met us. This horse was lost in full tack and still had all tack on him, which probably saved his life. He was gone for thirteen days, with no food or water, a raging infection in his shoulder, and other injuries. The saddle kept the tree limb from doing anymore damage, as you could see on the leather where he was sawing back and forth to free himself. The combined effort, from all involved, brought this to a happy ending. It is my pleasure to say after a long recovery at the stable, Jeff is back with his beloved owner. This could happen and does more than you think to anyone. It restored some of my faith in the human race to see so many come out to help find him and take the time to speak to Liz and comfort her.
That‘s my news from Michigan and I hope everyone has a great year. Grab that Morab and hit the trails/don't let the trail hit you. I look forward to reading the articles from those who take the time to write; it is nice to hear from other parts of the world. Ride Safe!

Jericho Creek West Lincoln, California By Carolyn Harris I‘ve had a busy year riding the trails with JCW Changing Winds, aka ―Twister‖, my Morab gelding. His color and great personality cause comments every time I go riding. We‘re very pleased to have a full sister to ―Twister‖, JCW Sundance of Glory, aka ―Cha-Cha‖. She got her nickname from my grandchildren, who wanted to name her after a dance. I‘m hoping to have her come to California sometime in 2009. I have another foal due in 2009 (JCW Rev‘s Cajun Sundancer x Winds of Glory) that will be a full sibling to ―Twister‖ and ―ChaCha‖. I can hardly wait to see what I get this time.

FARM NEWS Rocking L Acres McFarland, Wisconsin By Jane Licht FUN DRIVING CLASSES AT THE THREE GAITS HORSE SHOW The Annual Independence Day Open Show, that benefits the Three-Gaits Therapeutic Riding Center near Stoughton, Wisconsin, went off without a hitch in many respects, except that many participants did lots of ―hitching‖ – their horses to carriages that is! The weather was perfect and the attendance was quite good, especially for all obstacle driving classes. Wes Licht, organizer and judge of the obstacle driving classes for many years, reported that twenty-two drivers participated in these classes on Friday July 4th, 2008, and another fourteen participated on Saturday July 5th. Three Gaits organizers had decided to use the weekend holiday and host a two-day event and the results were very satisfactory. Wes enjoyed a crew of about seven or eight volunteers on both days. They were extremely helpful in setting up each course, timing the events, replacing disturbed tennis balls and obstacles, managing the gate, and helping with the scoring. Wes had prepared a different colored flier for each class, giving the rules and a drawing of each course. On Saturday, he used the same classes and changed the patterns to keep each class challenging.
obstacles all had specific point values, according to difficulty: Round the Barrel, Crossroads, Serpentine of Flags, Drive in – Back Out, Railroad Crossing, 360 Spin, The L, and the ever challenging, Long and Narrow. Drivers had two minutes to accumulate as many points as possible, by successfully driving through the obstacles of their choosing. The morning fun driving classes ended with the Cover Leaf Relay, where teams of two driving partners each, drove their own horse around the cloverleaf of barrels twice. For barrel number three, the drivers had to toss a tennis ball into a feed pan that would reduce their time by fifteen seconds. This was an especially enjoyable class to watch. There were times when the first competitor went around barrels one and two, and got their tennis ball in the pan on barrel number three, only to be discounted in the next round, when their teammate accidently knocked over the barrel, sending tennis balls and pan flying.

Wes talking to a young driver prior to the start of his Scurry class. The first class was the Line Driving Obstacles. This is a good event for green horses, just learning to drive, and it also tested the skill of the drivers. One local favorite was first time competitor, Diane King, who line-drove Nora, a Fjord driving horse, owned by Three-Gaits. Diane and Nora trotted through the entire course, with Nora accepting each of eight obstacles willingly. Some of the drivers discovered they could not keep up the trotting pace, and ended up doing more walking, since they were not quite as fit as their equine teammate. Out of the nineteen competitors, Sara Licht and her Morab mare, Raindrops on Roses, won second place. Next was Gambler‘s Choice Driving Obstacles. Drivers could choose which obstacle they would try with their horse. The
In the afternoon, participants did the Scurry (aka Pick Your Route) in the obstacle driving ring. The drivers each planned their own route of completing ten sets of cones to get the best time without knocking off any tennis balls from the cones. At the same time, Pleasure Driving and Reinsmanship classes were being conducted in the ring next door. Since many drivers had signed up for these two traditional ring driving classes, they were divided into two groups of eight drivers. This arrangement actually worked out quite well, since the drivers that were not in the first group of ring driving classes did the Scurry first, and those that finished the ring classes, first could then do the Scurry. Sara Licht elected not to do the Scurry, but she and her Morab mare, Raindrops on Roses, won first place out of the eight competitors in the Reinsmanship class. The last obstacle driving class was Double Jeopardy, that required two drivers in one turnout. The first driver completed obstacles (sets of cones) number one through number ten, came to a halt and gave the reins and whip to the second driver who completed the course in reverse order. his was also great fun to watch, as there was lots of discussion among the drivers as to the location of all the obstacles, and their attempts to get through the obstacles without a knockdown. Teams were made up of good friends, mother-daughter, mother-son, fatherdaughter, father-son and husband-wife combinations. One very

Another fierce competitor was sixyear-old Kyle Rhinehart, who, with his miniature horse, Patriot, and his father Chad, burnt up the course and won first place.

FARM NEWS Mistar Ranch Hot Springs, Arkansas By Diana Burbridge A MAGICAL MORAB HAPPENING DESIGNED IN HEAVEN The Lord Jesus so blessed me with an Arabian mare, whose name is Randi. This blessing was multiplied with God's love within her; she was to have a baby Morab. About a month before she was to foal, I began a nightly habit of going to the pasture to check on Randi before going to bed. After a week or so, Randi became tired of the ritual and would not allow me to check her. So I began to check on her condition from a distance, using a large flatsided flashlight. One night I deeply felt the Spirit of God. There was a full moon and a calmness there that only God can give. So I turned off the flashlight and laid it down on the ground before me. I wanted to enjoy this time to its fullest. I began to talk to Arabian mare, Randi. the Lord. The moment became overwhelming, and I cried out to God, "I wish I could kneel down before You to worship." I have some medical problems, so kneeling was impossible. I could not kneel down by myself or would not be able to steady myself. Then I sensed something to my left; it was Randi. I put my arm around her neck, and she helped me to lower myself to the ground. Without any thought, my knees rested on the flat side of the flashlight. God had found a resting place for my knees, without pebbles to give pain. Randi stayed and steadied me, while I worshipped the Lord. When I finished praying, Randi raised her head, so that I could stand once again.Then she walked away to another part of the pasture. The Lord blessed me again with the desire of my heart, I wanted a palomino filly, and Randi had a Morab palomino filly. I named this Morab filly, Manuela, which means God is with us. On that special night of prayer, God's presence was undeniably with me and my horses. Please visit us at www.mistar-ranch.com

My part of the trip was to pick up our new Crème Morgan mare, Shallow Creek Tia Marissa, who is in foal to the Dunskin Morgan stallion, Amberfields Dun Dreamin‘. Tia was delivered by Judy Hinman to Judi Struble, who offered to keep her for me until I could get her a week later. I enjoyed my short visit with Judi, but we had to get back on the road, since we were still twelve hours from home. The same weekend, WWA Kurafi a straight Egyptian Arabian stallion joined our herd.

STRESSES & STRAINS OF HORSEBACK RIDERS IN COMPETITION (The Care & Feeding of Riders in Competition) I serve as a clinical psychologist involved in mental health treatment and evaluation of patients, and on-going research. My research focus has been ―coping with human stresses and strains as related to athletic competition‖. The extreme stresses and strains -(the human factors)- associated with endurance riding provide a unique real-life opportunity to do research along the competitive trail. So, although I am a participating endurance horseback rider; I am also a researcher along the trail.
checks the rider being ―fit to continue‖. You are likely to be experiencing your own particular stresses and strains-mental and physical. But try to imagine that you are foolhardy enough to be doing a 100 mile, one-day ride, and have actually be on your horse for 20+ hours. It‘s cold, rainy, windy, and a really lousy day. Your trails are at varied elevations (not an unusual situation)-with elevations ranging from 1,000 feet high to 8,000 feet high.
You and your horse are enduring back and forth and up and down along the various elevations-many times. You have ridden to the 75 mile point of a 100 mile ride with perhaps a one-half hour hold and vet check .You have a headache, your knees are aching away-and you have forgotten to take sufficient medications to deal with your-mile by mile- increasing aches and pains. Moreover, the rainy downpours have washed away the chalk, put out to mark the trail; the cows have devoured the ride directional ribbons; or the ribbons were taken and destroyed ,or worse rearranged by funloving pranksters, astride their motorized vehicles, and your ride map is tattered and wet. It is now raining even harder with 30-40 mile an hour winds. You are riding at an elevation of 5,000 feet along a narrow trail on the side of a mountain.

Of course, no one competitor did that year to deal with her particular stresses and Hundreds of books and articles can be found on the care and feeding of horses; but comparatively few writings can be found on the care and feeding of the horseback rider, and especially the mental and physical stresses and strains of riders who participate in competition (for ex. endurance riders who do 50 miles/day in a maximum time of 12 hours, or 100 miles/day in a maximum time of 24 hours; and then there are riders in competition, for example, hunters and jumpers, barrel-racing, ride and tie, cutting, and xcountry type multi-day competitions). Well, you may be wondering what gives me the right to write this article? Yes, do I only talk the talk as an out-of-touch researcher, or do I also walk the walk?

strains. My formula, for persistent enduring, was to be relaxed, as one, with a strange horse and strange trail, and carry on my waist, and also on the horse, a flask which contained one-half Gatorade and one-half apricot brandy. So, stresses and strains evolved along the trail into ―stresses and highs‖. Well, in that one year, and riding many different horses (20+) in sanctioned competitions, I rode 7,265 miles, and my competitor rode 50 miles less and, of course, lost. My competitor, whom I greatly respect in terms of her ability to endure, is no longer able to ride due to a physical problem. She was great competition, which I miss. I do not think she misses me!
As a competitor, any negative energies you may harbor, not only take away from your having a sense of pleasure and highs while competing, but are quite likely to affect the attitude and physical health of your horse. It is to be noted that in the last ten years, there have been a wealth of studies, that demonstrate when you internalize negative attitudes and anger and hate toward others, the only affect is to break down your own organs and interfere with internal bodily functions. So, to repeat, what you negatively throw out really does come back to you in a manner that results in your own self-destruction.
NUTRITION: Riders in competition are usually very concerned about providing their horse with the correct food and supplements (sometimes the fad of the month) to enhance the horse‘s general well-being and capacity to function in a superior winning manner. However, in terms of the ―care and feeding‖ of the rider in competition, often as not, the horse‘s nutrition is the focus. Different riders require different kinds of diets for their bodies to function in a more effective manner and to lessen bodily stresses and strains. So, the rider in competition should study his/her eating habits with an eye toward improvement. This is a must. I will not pretend to be a nutritionist or be wise enough to prescribe the perfect food intake for ride competitors. However, based on my observations of riders and along the trail and discussions, one critical error to RELAXATION EXERCISES: While competing you may be experi- make is to start the ride with an empty stomach and no breakfast encing recurrent headaches, anxiety episodes, and in general of any kind.

It is not sufficient to worry and body work together as one and are constantly interacting, so when your horse does not drink water; you must also worry when the tense anxious rider is doomed to have physical pains and you choose not to drink water while in competition. Dehydration is organ breakdowns of various kinds. This is highly predictable, as a reality to avoid-both rider and horse. The rest of your diet is up demonstrated in numerous research studies. to you; but, at the very least, think and practice a diet that works for you.

So there is no need to get lost out there all night or the rest stop and vet check does not recommend book titles. provide food for riders or horses. It does happen! PHYSICAL EXERCISE: Your physical limitations and organ weaknesses come into play as your miles increase along the trail. To THE HUMAN FACTOR: Rider stresses and strains are experideal with this situation, a regular well-adhered to program of exer- enced by a broad range of riders in a variety of competitive situacise several times/week is a must.

So, how does one deal with the stresses and strains that one naturally experiences when competing in horseback competition of any kind? My research over several decades has involved indepth discussions with numerous riders in various kinds of horseback competition. One must always remember that you and your horse compete as a team-and the horses mental attitude and physical stamina are intertwined, and to complicate matters further, your mental attitude and physical stamina are also intertwined-and to even further complicate matters you and your horse work as an interactive team (with both you and your horse experiencing each other‘s mind, body, and attitude interactions).

ASK THE TRAINER Question: How short or long do you cut the bridle path on a yearling Sport Morgan that you are showing in hand? Can I put his mane in dressage braids to show off his neck? Or must it be left long and flowing? Must I wait until after he is a Two-Year-Old and showing with a bit to braid his mane, or must it be left long then as well? Answer: You can cut the bridle path to length of the ear if it was folded back. Yes, you can put braids in at any age or use a weave braid (shown below in photo). If you are competing at a Dressage show it is proper to braid your horses mane, if you are at an Open or Morgan show you can leave the mane un-braided. Horses that are two-years-old and older should be shown in a bridle.

A MAGNIFICENT MORAB BY LINDA KONICHEK
As I looked through the photos of our Morabs at this year‘s IMBA Region IV, All Breed Open Show, it struck me that our own, Jericho‘s Mr. Chauvinist, was certainly a ―Magnificent Morab‖. He was sired by Moro Hill Magnum, our 100% Lippitt Morgan foundation sire; his dam was, Moonlite Absinthe, our fine Arabian, who traced back to some of the finest of the desert Arabians. I remember how long those eleven months seemed, before Jericho ‘s Mr. Chauvinist was born on April Fool‘s Day, 1989. Of course, in honor of his birthday, we gave him the barn name of ―Fooler.‖ Wendy and I were thrilled at the quality of this colt, even at a few hours of age, and we kept commenting on his size, perfect body, and excellent bone. As the months progressed, we determined that he would become our foundation Morab stallion, the first one bred at Jericho Creek Farm. He started showing and performing at open shows by the time he was three-months-old., and he was always in the top ribbons. His first appearance at the Midwest Horse Fair was as a twoyear-old, where he participated in the Morab demo, as well as the Liberty event. Over the next years, he was one of the most popular Morabs at the horse fair, and appeared on Stallion Row for the next twelve years, where he performed in hand, and under saddle, in many demos, including the dressage presentations. No matter what costume or title he had, he gave it his all. I still Wendy riding ―Fooler‖, remember so many of those performances, including the one where he appeared as the Lone Ranger‘s horse, Silver. He also appeared in horse fairs in Illinois , Iowa , Arkansas , and Minnesota , as well as Equitana in Kentucky , 1995. Everywhere he went, he won people‘s admiration, gained recognition for the breed, and he always loved the crowds. In fact, he was one of the few horses in the barn who loved to be clipped and bathed. He was always truly excited about that, knowing it meant he‘d be going to a show or performance. He won awards and ribbons everywhere he went, and quickly progressed to the Gold Level in the IMBA Lifetime Achievement Award Program, earning three thousand points. He then went on to win the highest award in the IMBA, the Ilene Miller LAAP award and the Morab Hall of Fame, earning 5000 points. During those years, he also sired some wonderful sons and daughters, nationwide, all of whom are treasured by their owners. He produced the first Morab foal born of our own stock, Jericho ‘s Mr. Gallant, from Jericho‘s Magic Lady, Taco‘s daughter, and took his young owner, Amanda Tritz to the top in 4-H. We bred Fooler twice more to this mare for two more Morabs, Jericho‘s Platinum Magic, owned by Carolyn Harris of California, and Jericho‘s Lady Margarita, my Morab mare. He also was bred for foals in California , Illinois and Iowa , and now
has grand-get throughout the United States . All are absolutely true to type and have his beauty and stamina, as well as intelligence and mellow disposition. It seemed he had no where to go but up! I will never forget the 2003 Midwest Horse Fair, as it changed all of us so completely. Fooler had just returned to the barn, after a morning workout in the practice arena, and Wendy returned to the motel to eat breakfast and get ready for our Morab demo late that morning. I was busy talking to members and overseeing some of the authentic costumes, as this was the year we paid tribute to the horses of the Civil War. Everything seemed normal, until I noticed a crowd gathering outside Fooler‘s stall. I walked over to see what was up, and was shocked to see him rolling and displaying severe colic symptoms. Carolyn ran to find Wendy, and I got our beloved stallion up and started walking him between the barns. As always, he was willing to do what I asked, Linda riding Jericho‘s Mr. Chauvinist but it was aka ―Fooler‖ clear that he was very uncomfortable. I was terrified for him, and so was Wendy when she checked his gums and found he was already going into shock. Annie Randall was on the phone and had a truck and trailer there almost instantly, and Wendy and Carolyn rushed him to Dr. Stone‘s clinic, two hours away, while I stayed to direct the Morab demo. The next few hours were some of the longest of my life. Finally, we heard from Carolyn, and the news was not good. Fooler had a testicular hernia, and would have to have surgery immediately. I still remember Wendy‘s decision to geld him, when Dr. Stone said he could remove one testicle and keep him a stallion, but that three out of four stallions returned to have their second testicle removed in a few months. Wendy said, ―He‘s been a fabulous performance stallion, and he will be an awesome show gelding. I will not put my horse through this trauma twice.‖ So at age fourteen, our best stallion had to be gelded. He was in surgery for five hours, and he came out of it well, like the brave horse he‘d always been. It took two more years of home rest for him to heal completely But he made up for lost time and started performing again in 2005 Dressage and open shows, winning most of the time. He even made it to the Arabian/Half-Arabian Sport Horse Nationals in the fall and did well. In the past two years, he has excelled at everything we‘ve

asked of him, and he has become the gelding everyone wants to ride. At sixteen-hands, it is a long way up there, especially for us senior citizens, but once we are in the saddle, he takes care of us. At the 2008 IMBA Region IV All Breed Open Show in Jefferson, he won the runner-up for high point Morab on Saturday, and the Sunday Morab High Point, as well as the Show Overall High Point. He did this while taking care of five amateur riders and his owner, Wendy!
Lynn Berndt riding ―Fooler‖.
You can imagine that he really earned his high points, as he was in the ring countless times; he helped Callie Tuchel win the Youth 14-18 High Point Award, as well as many firsts and seconds. Monica Smith won first place in the Novice rider western class, as well as first place in the Hobby Horse Rookie Awards Class. Lynn Berndt rode Fooler in the adult leadline class, and I rode him in the Bob Hope class, where we took second. And our neighbor, Debbie Bacon, rode him in the Groom‘s Class, where they came in second.
But my favorite part of the show was to watch Fooler and Wendy perform in English Pleasure and Road Hack Class. They were both so happy to be a team again, and the smile on Wendy‘s face was obvious to everyone. If horses could smile, Fooler would have flashed an ear-to-ear grin. I think he was obviously the happiest horse in the ring, and I got teary just watching them thunder around the ring. So here‘s to my favorite ―Marvelous Morab,‖ Jericho ‘s Mr. Chauvinist, aka ―Fooler‖, a beautiful, multi-talented Morab horse, who loves to show and takes care of whomever we put on his back, six of us at the show this year. Wendy was right, he is ―…an awesome show gelding,‖ and we all love him and thank him for our great rides.

BY JANE LICHT The Midwest Distance Driving Association (MDDA) held an outstanding Classroom Clinic at Flying G Ranch near Marshall, Wisconsin, on March 29, 2008. Although the group was small, everyone seemed very interested in the sport of distance driving. MDDA President Jac Deweese opened the session, welcomed participants and introduced the speakers. Roger Houk talked about MDDA‘s distance driving rules and trail etiquette. When driving a vehicle on the trail and meeting distance riders, the driver always stops and talks to the rider about how to proceed so as not to frighten the riding horses. Most of the endurance and competitive riding horses are now comfortable with driving vehicles so it is usually not a problem for them. However, it may be a problem for other recreational riders and so distance drivers are very careful about this situation. Jack Shea said the main themes of distance driving were to have fun, be safe, and be mindful of your horse‘s health and happiness. He indicated that you don‘t need a special horse or equipment to be successful. Jack showed photographs on an overhead projector of various breeds of horses, types of harnesses and vehicles that are being used in distance driving. He related that while light horses may be natural for distance driving, even heavier built horses, such as his Canadian horse (Cheval Canadien), as well as hardy ponies can do well in the sport, given proper conditioning.
Wes Licht talking about scoring. Romona Radtke gave an amazingly detailed presentation on feeding the competitive horse. Competitive distance driving and riding, as well as any equine sport, requires a healthy, properly fed and watered horse. Romona observed that in the wild, horses are usually on the move, drink enormous quantities of water, and graze constantly. Their gastric-intestinal tract is built for taking in vast quantities of grass, which contains mostly roughage needed for movement of material through their bowels. Proper dental health is key to a horse‘s overall health. Gallons of saliva are produced daily and provide bicarbonate to buffer the strong stomach acids. Digestive organs are similar to those in human anatomy, except that the material passes from the (Continued on page 32)
Morab Perspective 2008-2009 Breeders‘ Guide Page 31
(Continued from page 31)
small intestines into the large, horse-shoe shaped cecum, where it stays for 24 hours, producing large amounts of gas and heat as roughage is digested. The material continues through the large colon and small colon and passes out the rectum. Water and nutrients are removed throughout the entire system. There should be constant digestive activity, and listening for good, noisy gut sounds from the cecum and bowels is part of the vet check, before and after distance drives. Romona said that what your horse eats on Wednesday is what he will use to do the drive on Saturday. She recommends grass hay and lots of it. Because Wisconsin has very little selenium in the soil, it should be added to the diet along with Vitamin E, but follow directions, since too much is toxic. Beet pulp soaked in water is great for adding roughage and increasing hydration.
Ramona uses a pillow to represent an average size horse stomach.
Mary Clapper discussed conditioning. She recommended that you keep a journal and begin by evaluating your horse‘s present condition, using a stethoscope to measure the resting pulse rate. Normal will be between 8 and 12 in 15seconds. Start at a slow pace,, alternately walking and trotting, to cover about five miles in an hour. Increase the distance or speed (but not both) based on the pulse rate. After a workout, allow the horse to rest 10 minutes, and then measure the pulse. This is the recovery rate. Your horse should recover to a rate of 16 or lower in 15 seconds. If greater than 16, back off your workouts. If below 13, consider increasing the distance or speed of your next workout. When your horse can go 10 or 12 miles in less than 2 hours, and recover to a pulse of 12 or lower, you are ready for a 10 or 12 mile competitive drive. Don‘t condition every day, but give days in between to rest and recover. Allow the horse a day or two of rest before and after a competition.
After an excellent lunch, complete with homemade cookies and brownies, the group gathered in the indoor arena to see what happens at a distance drive. Katz Jackson used her Morgan mare Talon and brought her in halter to Romona, who demonstrated the pre-vet examination. Wes Licht served as scribe and wrote down the items that Romona reported. After the trot out, Katz harnessed her horse. She showed three different collars and used the one that best fit her horse. Wes talked about making necessary adjustments, especially with the breeching, when the horse is hitched. Katz drove around the arena to simulate the drive. When she was finished, she drove to the time keeper, Jac, who gave her a card with the time she needed to report back to the vet. That card was also used to record the horses‘ pulse and respiration. The metabolics were checked; the final trot-out completed, and the legs were re-examined. All of this information would be recorded and points tallied. The participants at the clinic were then invited to try their hand at checking a horse‘s pulse, using their hands and the stethoscope. They were also shown how to listen for gut sounds, and Ramona demonstrates the to count the numapproximate location of the cecum ber of breaths in on the horse‘s body. a 15 second period. Three Jac is the ―horse‖. horses owned by Katz and Gary Jackson were used as demonstration horses for the group. The participants seemed to enjoy every phase of the clinic. Even if you are not quite ready to drive, volunteers are always welcome. Contact Jac Deweese at 608-429-3697, or the Midwest Distance Driving Association website for more information.
Wes Licht talked about the vet check and scoring. In this sport, the veterinarian is the official judge, and scorer and his paramount concern is the well being of the horse. Before the competition, he will give the horse a thorough evaluation. This exam includes measures such as pulse, respiration, dehydration, CRT (capillary refill time), mucous membrane, gut sounds, and anal tone that indicate the general health of the horse. He will also observe the horse trotting out for signs of lameness. He will note attitude, the level of heat, swelling or pain in the legs, and the level of pain in the major muscles. The exam is repeated at the end of the drive, and points are deducted from a total of 400, based on pulse and respiration, lameness scoring, and changes in attitude, heat, swelling or pain. Points may also be deducted for fresh lesions and poor manners of the horse. It is important to practice this examination, including the trot out, at home, for the safety of the veterinarian, and to avoid losing points. Glenn Garbisch achieved Rookie status last year by participating in three drives with his Arab-Paint horse called Athea (Junior). He talked about the fun he had distance driving and enjoying the camaraderie of the group. Morab Perspective 2008-2009 Breeders‘ Guide Page 32

have to be developed before advancing my horses training?‖
Many of us are now becoming familiar with the photo-type of Online horse show, such as IMBA‘s own Online Morab and AllBreed Horse show www.OnlineMorabShow.com These shows are becoming increasingly popular and well-attended. They offer people an excellent way to show-off their horses and have some fun. Of course, it is recognised that these shows are simply judging photographs – quite literally a ―snapshot in time‖. They cannot fully show what a horse or rider can really do or how they perform. Such shows are best suited to conformation and halter classes. Yet, even then, the horse is judged at a standstill. There is no fully satisfactory method to demonstrate how it moves or carries itself.
Significant credibility is afforded to these events, due to the quality of judges engaged such as performance horse trainer, Todd Sommers, from Texas, USA, and well-known coach and clinician, Lindsay Grice, from Ontario, Canada. Interest in this group has been very enthusiastic and growing. Members are located across the US with two of the most active groups in Texas and Alaska. There are also a number of members in Canada, as well as in Europe (Germany) and Australia, for truly international activity.
The most obvious way to address this need is through video-type shows. With the proliferation of video clipping and video websites, like YouTube, this would seem an easy and natural next step. One might have expected people to be flocking to participate. And while a few video-type horse shows made an appearance, few seemed to quite catch-on. Fortunately, there have been a couple of excellent exceptions. One of these is the International Performance Horse Development Association www.IPHDA.com . This group is entering its second year of offering online video-type events. Their focus is on the ―broke horse‖, defined as a horse that 1) Waits for its rider‘s cues, and 2) Willingly accepts and follows those cues. The group was created with two goals – to allow riders to learn the basics of training and riding a Performance Horse through educational competitions, and to allow Trainers and owners a place to show case their young horses, and create a market and purpose for all levels of Performance Horses. Their events are targeted toward learning how to achieve a broke horse, and demonstrating one‘s progress towards that goal. They do this through a series of testing levels from easy to advanced – each with a specific set of elements and degree of difficulty. Each level has several pre-set patterns available, and one is assigned for each scheduled competition.
People choose what level they wish to begin competing. They elevate out of that level to the next, once they achieve a certain minimum score, at a set number of events. Tack can be English or western, probably even saddleseat or sidesaddle, if one wished. Flashy clothes and other fancy appointments do not count. Complete details of the rules and current patterns are available at the IPHDA website. On the surface, it may sound rather like Dressage, or Reining. It is; and it isn‘t. The tests do have many similar types of elements, yet one is not trying to achieve a reining horse or a high-school dressage horse. Instead, the goal is to have a horse that is willing to do the basic movement one may associate with dressage, such as lateral motion, or with reining, such as a stop. Yet the lateral movement does not need to show great reach or impulsion, simply a reasonable response to the request. And the stop does not need to be a fancy slider, just calm and compliant. Since much of the point of Online showing is to be able to compete without leaving one‘s home ground, the IPHDA recognises that everyone may not have the best facilities or working area. They make recommendations for the size of arena and type of footing. However, allowances are made for a variety of conditions, including ground, where stopping quickly may not be a good idea, or even possible.
What makes this group truly unique is their flexibility and willingness to incorporate new ideas and input. In response to such feedback, they have created two entry options in the shows for 2009. One is the Jackpot category that awards a cash payback. The competitions are run, entered, and judged online. They say The other option has a lower fee and no cash award. They have on the website - ―All a person needs is a horse, and a friend with a also added Virtual Practices, where one can submit video of a video camera, to compete in an IPHDA event‖ As with photo-type test, and get feedback on one‘s progress. And they recently indishows, no trailering, no risk, no stress, no weather worries (if it cated an intention to put together some Trail class-like patterns for rains, make the video another day).

The videos and comments are made available online at the IPHDA website so everyone can review and learn. The IPHDA and its events look to be a great deal of fun and a very useful activity for the horse and rider. After all, as Miller has As Rod Miller, the president and founder of IPHDA, told me, ―The said, who wouldn‘t want a ―well-broke‖ horse?

The following additional information is taken from their website: IPHDA is committed to: Helping members develop willingly guided horses Offering competitive divisions for all horse and riders Using current technology to bring the educational event of PHD to anyone anywhere in the world IPHDA events include Virtual shows, Virtual practices and local live events. Virtual shows: Because our events are based on a black and white, right or wrong, type of judging instead of different degree‘s of right or wrong we are able to fairly assess an exhibitor‘s performance on videotape. This allows us to hold shows online. The exhibitor rides the selected pattern for that month‘s V show, at a place of their choice, someone video tapes the ride; they then upload the video to the Internet and enter our show. We have cash paybacks for the winners, and chances to win many awards, just for entering.

FRED‘S FIELD BY DJ SPROAT
The NAIS (National Animal Identification System http:// animalid.aphis.usda.gov/nais/) in the US is proving to be an extremely controversial program. Supporters and opponents are highly polarized and becoming more so over time. Some are quite vocal in their positions, while others seem resigned to accept the final outcome. There is a great deal of information, and misinformation, about NAIS. It is very difficult for people and organisations to discern truth from marketing rhetoric, reality from propaganda and reasonable doubt from fear-mongering. Choosing a position is relatively easy. What is not as easy is determining if one has truly chosen based on facts and full understanding versus on gut reaction or persuasion. The NAIS may have some substantial benefits for portions of the livestock industry – particularly large producers and ―factory‖ farming. Likewise, these areas of the industry tend to have the largest need for food safety controls simply due to the quantities they produce and ship, as well as the processes they employ in production. There are, however, significant questions into the feasibility and necessity of NAIS for other areas of agriculture and rural lifestyles – including small producers, family farms and many segments of the equine industry. Many claim the controls are onerous, unnecessary and designed to oppress and force them out of business. People who keep a few animals for their own purposes or solely for pleasure (such as horses) contend the NAIS controls are impractical and will severely curtail their ability to keep or enjoy their animals and companions. At this point, the NAIS program is fraught with difficulties – not the least of which is its overall acceptance and general implementation. It remains to be seen if it can even be made into a feasible, workable program. Due to the difficulties in obtaining reliable, unbiased information on NAIS, as well as the wide variety of people and opinions that comprise our membership, the IMBA currently chooses to remain neutral on NAIS. We do not support; neither do we fully oppose. However, we do highly question the NAIS in regards to equines, owners and the horse industry. We intend to continue to observe and research the NAIS – making such information available to our membership as appropriate. A more in depth discussion, with a view to establishing an official Position, will occur at the 2009 Annual Meeting (scheduled for November 7, 2009). NAIS AND US Try as I may, I could not locate any unbiased articles about the subject. It was either the USDA‘s version or that of someone like me, who has had bad experiences with them. I signed up for the so called voluntary premise registration in my home state. The next year, I received a survey from the USDA demanding all sorts of information about myself, our property the leases we have and it went on from there. I promptly placed it into the trash, thinking it is none of their business. Two weeks later, I got another one with the threat of prosecution if I didn‘t answer it, lucky for me that the Congressman from my district is a friend. He went through the roof when he heard the above. I never heard another word from them. The state no longer shares its‘ information on registered property with USDA and there is an ―Opt out‖ clause, now. If you would like to read the USDA‘s version, their web address
Morab Perspective 2008-2009 Breeders‘ Guide Page 34
is www.usda.gov/nais . They still say it is a ―Voluntary‖ thing. Another web site that is against NAIS is www.nonais.com . I read the articles there and laughed, because it seems so many small farmers and ranchers are so set against it. Could it be that the large corporations are trying to put us out of business? I was also able to locate two or three articles of the U.S. Constitution that this violates.

IMBA REGION NEWS Region 1 ME, NH, MA, RI, CT By Ronna Messier Some of you know we had a Horse Show here this past summer; it went extremely well. The girls that were here made all of the ribbons, eighty-five of them, and put a tremendous amount of work into pulling this show off. We had great weather and a great turnout of spectators and riders. So, for Region One news we are planning on doing the show again this summer. Who knows now, but maybe, we'll have some sort of an arena up by then. Wouldn't it be great to not have weather be a problem? Region 2 NJ, NY, PA, DE, MD By Karen Petersen We are planning to have at least two farm shows this coming year, as well as doing some major improvements to the farm. We are hoping that the Morabs will do well in our farm schooling shows, and perhaps then it will be evident to the sporting world what a talented horses these beautiful Morabs are! With the colder months, there haven‘t been as many activities Region 5 KY, WV, VA, TN, NC, SC By Denise Schneider scheduled in our area, not regular shows, at any rate. There are still plenty of organized trail rides and things of that nature, for those brave enough to ride in the cold. Our last show of the season was in November, the weekend before Thanksgiving. It was cold, and it was windy, and I wondered several times during the day just why it was that I was freezing my butt off at a speed show, when I could have been home in front of a warm fire. The horses, however, didn‘t seem to mind the weather one bit, and in spite of the wimpiness of their riders, they did come home with several ribbons. As I was driving my daughter to the bus stop recently, I saw a fox running through a field, and I started thinking about fox hunting. This is Virginia, after all, and Virginia is known for that. I have never done it myself, but I know several people who have, and they tell me that it is a lot of fun. And the more I think about it, the more I think that it might be something to try. We have done hunter paces with a couple of the horses, which are supposed to be simulated fox hunts in a controlled environment. So why not try the real thing? Of course, we would have to be careful to keep our horses at a respectful pace. They are used to doing speed events and would likely want to outrun all of the other horses. And in true fox hunting, if you pass the hunt master (I am not sure if that is the proper term, so please bear with me if I didn‘t call him/her by the proper name), it‘s considered very bad manners and they might ask you to leave, or so I have heard.
I would love to hear from anyone who has tried fox hunting, and could give me more information on the ins and outs. I would also like to hear what other people are doing with their horses. We are always game to try new things (which is how we started doing the speed shows) and love hearing people‘s stories. Region 4 MN, WI, IL, IA, Upper MI By Linda Konichek The show committee has just finalized the 2009 show bills, so check them out in this issue of THE MORAB PERSPECTIVE. We continue to offer those classes most popular with entrants, as well as special classes to showcase MORABS, MORGANS AND ARABIANS. This year‘s costume class had TWELVE entries, and ribbons were awarded for Most Creative, Most Beautiful, and Most Humorous, as well as Judge‘s Favorite. There is a Walk/Trot class for almost everyone, including those of us who are over thirtynine, in the Bob Hope Walk/Trot class. Plus, thanks to the extra efforts of Wes and Jane Licht, we offer a number of Timed Driving, Pleasure Driving Classes, as well as Jr. Driving Classes, both days. A few years ago, we focused our show and classes on pleasure; we wanted a show where people had great competition, but where they also could have fun with their horses, while winning! The majority of our returning entrants seem to feel we have succeeded, because the most frequent comment we hear from them is, ―This is my favorite show; I wait for it all year, because I always have so much fun, and it is so well-run, plus the ribbons and trophies are neat.‖ Our sponsors were more important than ever this year, due to the theft of the ribbons that had to all be replaced and mailed to winners. In the Rainbow Sponsorships, that pay tribute to a horse or person who has crossed the ―Rainbow Bridge,‖ there were four. Cathy Cline, from Phoenix Training Center, remembers her first horse, purchased with her husband, Mark, Wyoming Star, a multi-talented purebred Arabian gelding, whom they had for twenty-two years; they still miss his beautiful face looking over his stall door each morning. The second Rainbow Memorial was from Carol and Joel King of Windmere Morabs. It was for Carol‘s first Morab foal, Windmere Magic. ―…He made my horse dreams come true, and will forever be in my heart and those of us who loved him.‖ Sandra Nowicki remembersRamonna, grand-dam to her well-known driving horse, Julius, her ―once in a lifetime horse‖ that she raised on a bottle, and they spent thirty-four years together. She is blessed to still have Ramonna‘s daughter, grand-daughter and grandson. Finally, Jericho Creek Farms pay tribute to their magnificent foundation stallion, Moro Hill Magnum, a full Lippitt Morgan, whose genetic contribution to their breeding horses will live forever. Be sure to see all of the current and previous Rainbow Sponsorship horses/people, who will be in a permanent scrapbook and displayed at our show each year. This tribute will be ongoing, so these special horses/people will always be remembered in the hearts of those who love them, as well as the rest of us in the horse community. (Continued on page 38)

MORAB HORSE OF THE YEAR WINDMERE SPARKLER From Karen TellefI discovered the sport of Competitive Trail Riding (CTR) after I had sold my Morgan gelding in 1986, and was asked by a friend to ride his mare in a few end-ofseason races, while he recovered from back pain. I got hooked on the sport, so when it was time to buy another horse, I focused on finding a Morab – a combination of my favorite breed with the Arab, who seemed to excel at CTR. In 1988, I purchased Windmere Sparkler (Moro Hill Magnum x Windrift Noiriah) from Carol Stankiewicz (now Carol King). He was three-years-old, and already 15.1 hands.
Our idyllic time together came to a crashing halt in 2002 when Sparks got a mild case of laminitis. He healed sound, and we started under saddle again in 2003, after drastic changes to his diet and routine. Then it happened again in the fall of 2003. What an agonizing decision for me; I could afford to board only one horse, and I‘m an active person who still wanted to compete with my horse. A perfect opportunity presented itself when Juanita Dayringer wanted Sparks for her program, sight unseen. She knew of Sparks‘ reputation, and she knew how to care for laminitic horses.
Sparks proved a natural! He loved trail How do you pick your next horse after Sparks with Karen in a ―trot off‖. riding, was steady as a rock when conthat? Although Sparks was my fourth fronted with new challenges, and was a total gentleman around horse, I had never experienced the intense bond I had with him. other riders. He grew to 16.1 hands, and stayed a beautiful I know that he will probably be my Horse of a Lifetime. I will dark grey for a long time. I was asked to bring Sparks to the never expect another horse to live up to Sparks‘ example – that Midwest Horse Fair, where for six years he mugged the crowd would be too much to expect of another horse. Luckily, my curfor attention over the open stall door, usually placed next to the rent horse is coming very information table. I would take Sparks out into the public walkclose. ways and let kids crawl over him. He was amazing with them. Sparks is content, retiring to Our first CTR was in 1990 as a five-year-old. The vet‘s scorea life where he has strong card description of his in hand trot-out said ―ears up, tail up, associations with many kids willing, smooth‖. That was Sparks! I was thrilled with the second and adults. I couldn‘t be place we received on our inaugural ride. Our next race rehappier, or more proud of all sulted in a first place, and Sparks was just beginning. Later on that he and I accomplished that year, the vets at a race in Michigan awarded a Sparks with an admirer ―Veterinarian‘s Choice‖ ribbon to the horse that they ―would at the Midwest Horse most like to own‖. Over all the other seasoned horses there, the Fair. ribbon was given to Sparks! They mentioned his beauty, his energy and soundness, yet tempered with calm manners around the vets, and his obvious love of people. in our years together. We continued doing 25 and 30-mile CTRs from 1990 through 2001. Our last race was up in Little Manistee, and we received 3rd place. Sparks completed every race we entered, which is the true goal of CTR. However, I am partial to the ninr blue ribbons we received. We were rarely out of the ribbons. We dabbled in a few other things. He was a great parade horse for my horse club, of course enjoying all the attention and babysitting the nervous first-timers. During a one-year rest for an injury, where I was told to start hand-walking, I decided to start driving him. He took to harness with ease, and soon would take kids for drives around our suburban home. The sport of Competitive Mounted Orienteering became popular in the Midwest, and we started adding those to our busy schedule. We both had a blast doing CMOs, usually not caring about whether we were winning, but rather being on a team with friends and enjoying a fun day on trails, exercising our horses and our minds at the same time! And we even tried team penning twice! After a timid start, he figured out what I wanted him to do, and soon was lowering his head and nipping at the calves, to get them to move out of the way.

From June Rich Windmere Sparkler joined the barn family of Juanita Dayringer, in the fall of 2003. Once he was back on his feet, Sparks‘s gentle nature proved him to be a great lesson horse. Juanita decided that he was healthy enough for Rebecca Rich to use him as a 4H horse. And three beautiful years of working and playing together began.
the judge. Next, he led Sparks through ten wooden planks, in which the horse had to put a foot between each plank. He then trudged on toward three orange cones, which he wound himself and his horse through. The fourth obstacle was a square, made of four poles. Even though we had practiced this at Juanita‘s stable, the judge excused him from completing a 360° turn with his horse. The last obstacle was a raised solid wood pallet, called a bridge. With some reluctance, Sparks followed Tommy over the bridge. Since this entire course was arranged in loose dirt, just walking was very difficult for Tommy, with his walker.
If you asked her who her best friend was, she would immediately respond ―Sparks.‖ Rebecca taught him to ride Western, and even placed in her class, Rebecca riding Sparks in Huntseat. after only two months under Western saddle. Rebecca‘s biggest challenge with Sparks, was to keep his head down and his trot slow.

The first time Rebecca entered him in was a genuine first place. She had even docked him points for speed classes, he was dumbfounded that he was allowed to run things that were physically impossible for him. as fast as he wanted.

GREENER PASTURES TM Thunder‘s Hidden Magic ―Magic‖ (Montego‘s Thunder x SV Black Magic) 2002 - January 27, 2008 A Moment of Magic Written by Rose and Brittany Wendorf Thunder‘s Hidden Magic, was new name for a two-year-old filly, who came to Wisconsin with her sire and two sisters. When she got off the trailer, it was apparent all her magic was surely hidden. She was thin and matted, paralyzed with fear; she didn‘t even know what being led with a halter meant. Wendy did get her into the barn and into a stall, where she trembled and backed up from every brush or touch. But through the fear, her eyes seemed as if you could look into them and see her soul. At first, Magic, was afraid of everything, every sound, movement, object. But her heart was greater than her fear; she had a huge need to trust and love humans. I wore rain coats, carried noisy objects, and hummed things by her feed bucket. Eventually Magic was the brave one. She would bullet into the barn, always the first one in. Her love and trust for people caused her to come running whenever someone stepped out of the house. Not even a vacuum could scare this filly away from her people; even when the rest of the herd kept a sufficient distance, Magic stood front and center, watching me adoringly, while ignoring the noisy machine.
soulful eyes told me she was leaving us. In the short time it took our vet to get there, she had developed neurological problems, and I made the hard decision to set her free. So on January 27, 2008, at six years of age, she left the world as quickly as she had come. In the end, Magic‘s name still holds true. She was only able to show us some of her magic, and we will be forever grateful. But there was so much more she had left to give, only to have it hidden forever.
TM Thunder‘s Hidden Magic, Morab Mare, with Rose.
But there was one love she lacked, and that was for the sheep. She would charge their pen daily and snake her head over the fence with her mouth open. Sometimes she would be successful in grabbing a chunk of their wool, but then displayed a look of disgust, probably from the bad taste. Magic grew into a beautiful mare, leaving the gangly, malnourished filly behind. She stood over 15 hands, and was a beautiful bay. In the summer she would display some roaning across her barrel and flanks. In the winter her tiny snip would bloom into a full one with her thick coat. Her head was elegant and refined, with a large, bright star. And she knew she was something special. Magic would float across the pasture, displaying the same movement her father had, except with a grace and femininity, that we hoped would rival her father one day. She especially loved the snow, and would play all day in it, if she could.
Brittany riding ―Magic‖
When it came to being ridden, she took it all in stride. Magic had a drive to please, and boy did she ever. She was so cute in a western saddle, and I couldn‘t wait for Britt to take her into English. That didn‘t happen though. One snowy morning last January, Magic did not barge into the barn first for her grain. She stood shivering in the corner, looking for me to come to her. Immediately I called our vet, who administered IV fluids and medications, took samples and left a lot of instructions. Her temperature came up and we were very hopeful. I came in to wash more blankets to keep her warm. She even took a few bites of food and a drink. I stayed with her all night, going to the house only to warm up. Sometime in the early morning she didn‘t seem right. I pulled off my bedspread to cover her completely, and called the vet to let her know she was getting worse again. When I stood there stroking and talking to her, those Morab Perspective 2008-2009 Breeders‘ Guide Page 44
GREENER PASTURES Black Stetson Hat ―Stetson‖ (Marvelous Monarch x Miss Mahogany) April 20, 1995 - November 16, 2008 The following article is taken from an email sent by Sheryl Tegelberg to friends and colleagues, advising on the passing of her Morab stallion, Black Stetson Hat, after a brief and misdiagnosed battle with Potomac Horse Fever. She wanted others to be aware of this disease and its recent appearance in areas where it was not previously found. We thank Sheryl very much for bravely sharing this information and her heartache. And we convey all our sympathies on her loss of Stetson. November 16. 2008, after a two-day struggle which started out to look like colic, we lost our Morab stallion, Black Stetson Hat, to Potomac Fever. I thought I should share the information and pass on what I have learned thus far. My vet book's last copyright is 1989, so it is outdated but informative about the fever's origin, derived from the Potomac River in Virginia. I have read and heard of the disease, but didn't believe it to be of concern, since my vet book says it is prevalent in the eastern and mid-western areas of the United States but uncommon in the west. Since we live north of Missoula, Montana in the Rocky Mountains, and I have not heard of anyone talking about this in my area I didn't really know what it was. Dr. Rollett Pruyn, DVM, from Blue Mountain Veterinary Hospital in Missoula, told me late Friday evening, while administering tests and putting an IV into Stetson, that there have been cases south of Missoula in the Bitterroot River area, and west of Missoula, along Interstate 90 to Huson, Montana. This area all being part of the Clark Fork River Drainage. Supposedly, the fever is caused from the ingestion of an aquatic fly - Dr. Rollett Pruyn mentioned the "May Fly". If you have not heard of the "May Fly". These fly hatches are what makes western Montana one of the best trout fishing areas in the country. Our property is located in Arlee, Montana and has an irrigation creek running through its entire length, where our horses are free to drink, from April until around Thanksgiving. This water supply is fed mainly from the Jocko Lake Reservoirs located in the mountains east of Arlee and west of the Swan River drainage system. This irrigation system eventually dumps back into the Jocko River, which is located about a mile south of our property. The Jocko River flows into the Flathead River which eventually empties into the Clark Fork River near Plains, Montana, about fifty miles northwest of Arlee. Dr. Carolyn Cosgrove, DVM, who resides and practices in Arlee, Montana moved here a few years ago from North Carolina, diagnosed Stetson this past Friday morning with having colic due to a bout of bad diarrhea and lack of appetite. After tubing and giving him a rectal exam there didn't seem to be any intestinal twisting and he was made comfortable with Banamine - thinking that the colic may have been due to a change of feed to a very green alfalfa bale that was fed to him and our six other horses the day before. After Dr. Cosgrove left I was instructed to keep him on his feet so he would not lay down and roll which, most of you know, can cause the intestines to
twist. During this period of walking and watching him, Stetson had two or three episodes more of diarrhea one episode they call "pipestream" where the stool shoots straight out and is very watery and profuse. He seemed comfortable at that time, like he was getting better nothing Black Stetson Hat, Morab Stallion critical. However, IF YOU SEE THIS SIGN OF COLIC...PLEASE DON'T WAIT, TAKE YOUR EQUINE FRIEND TO THE VET IMMEDIATELY since this type of diarrhrea causes severe dehydration! Although Stetson drank water several times during the day, he was extremely dehydrated by the time his blood was tested at the veterinary hospital around 10:30 PM. Some other signs may be walking in short circles, bobbing of the head, pawing the ground, and getting up and down. Occasionally he lay down to rest, in a dog-like fashion (this is usually done to relieve gas) then he would stretch out with neck and head on the ground and legs straight out, moving his head about and up and down. I called Dr. Cosgrove to inform her of these new symptoms around 5:30 PM, and she had me administer another dose of Banamine, and returned around 8:30 PM. Her diagnosis at that time was serious, ―surgical‖, as she put it. His gums were now pale around the teeth with brick red to purple vessels when you flipped up the lips. After a few minutes of deliberation, I had her take an under-the-belly specimen of fluids - if this comes out pink, you probably have a ruptured intestine. We lost our best lead Morab mare in December of 2005 from colic from a twist due to a Lipoma tumor which caused the intestine to rupture. Electing for an expensive surgery, Dr. Evans and Dr. Pruyn found too much of her large intestine was not repairable, and she was put to sleep on the table. We felt this might be a repeat situation, but found no pink fluids, as we did in our mare that colicked in 2005. Very little fluid, could be extracted from the body cavity and it was found to be clear. Dr. Cosgrove and I then discussed taking him to a clinic and the surgical costs. Truck and trailer were already connected and ready to go from a recent packing and hunting trip. So I loaded him in the trailer and headed into Missoula. Then I called my husband, who had already retired for the evening at camp, after a hard day of hunting and told him I was on my way to Missoula with Stetson. He got up out of his sleeping bag and cot, hiked out of the mountains by headlamp, then drove the nearly 100 miles to the veterinary hospital to meet me. I arrived with Stetson at Blue Mountain Veterinary Hospital,

(Continued on page 46)
(Continued from page 45)
south of Missoula, around 10:30 PM. After Dr. Rollett Pruyn did an exam, it was determined that Stetson did not seem to have a twisted gut. His heart rate was very high at 105 (resting rate is somewhere around 45 depending on recent exercise). While running a blood test, his breathing became fast and labored and shock set in. I was left standing there holding his heavy head in the stocks while he leaned his rear-end against the back gate and planted his feet forward bracing himself. Finally, Dr. Pruyn returned with the blood test which revealed high red cell counts, low white cell count and severe dehydration. The prognosis wasn't good, but I opted for fluids and antibiotics in the hope of rehydrating and saving him. Stetson survived the night: around 10:00 AM Saturday when I called the clinic, his heart rate had dropped to around 80 and his temperature was about half a degree below normal. I spent the entire afternoon with him in his stall, caring for him and helped the veterinary assistant change his fluid bags. Around five PM, Dr. Pruyn checked his vitals, and found his heart rate had dropped to 55 and his temperature was 101.1 degrees. All heavy respiration had stopped and his gum color had returned to normal. Feeling like he was "out of the woods" and was going to pull through, I went home for the night since I wasn't allowed to stay. I was so thankful and praised God, thinking he was probably going to pull through it. Afraid to call the next morning, I waited for the vet to call with a positive report, but for some reason wasn't feeling hopeful; the ordeal had taken its toll on me, and I had gone to bed feeling heavy hearted. Then I got the call from Dr. Pruyn. Unfortunately it was bad news - but nothing I thought I would hear. Stetson had passed away peacefully in the night he said. Not believing what I was hearing, I asked how could this be; he was doing so good? Evidentially, the thickening of the blood caused from by the severe dehydration led to blood clotting, something the heart couldn't handle. I'm sure the trauma and shock didn't help him – a night trailer ride that lasted nearly an hour - strange lights inside a big veterinary hospital - his feet touching concrete for the very first time (yes there are still dirt roads where we live). This was such an ordeal for a stud who only got to live thirteen plus years, and had only left the property as a foal. He was loved and cared for faithfully with annual vaccines, wormings every three or four months, all of which had been done just four weeks previously. In case you were wondering, he has always trailer loaded and he was saddle broke to ride, and had been driven with a surcingle. I sat on him bareback this summer just to feel his body below me and give him a hug after we trimmed his hooves; he was such a well-mannered stallion, and I was looking forward to retiring him from breeding soon, and taking him up in the mountains and maybe finding a buggy for him to pull. So for now, equine friends, there's little we can do about Potomac Fever disease. Vaccination needs to be done in the summer, like West Nile. First year there needs to be a booster in 2 or 3 weeks, then an annual every year. Dr. Cosgrove says it might be a new strain of the fever migrating into our area. She had a case last year in our area - also one in Missoula and this property was a mile-and-a-half from the river. Gestation can be from water or grass she said. Incubation is ten days according to my vet book. Dr. Pruyn said three to five days. POSSIBLY due to our unusually warm fall and new fly hatches, but Dr. Pruyn said that the lack of frost and snow had nothing to do with it. I'm sick that I never knew about the presence of Potomac
Fever just a mountain range away in the Missoula – Clark Fork River drainage area. Dr. Rollette Pruyn discussed with me the following evening that they are seeing around 20 cases a year, and the first case, in the area, was in 1989. I'm upset that we have a lack of good veterinary help and facilities in a state and country that has so much livestock. With the internet and communication the way it is today, I can't believe we haven't seen or heard reports about this on our local news like we did about West Nile. Let's get the word out everyone and keep a watchful eye on your horses. Please see the following article for more information
POTOMAC HORSE FEVER BY DJ SPROAT Overview: Potomac Horse Fever (PHF) is a gastrointestinal disease that can affect any horse of any age. It is caused by the bacteria, Neorickettsia risticii (formerly called Ehrlichia risticii), a member of the family Rickettsiaceae. Rickettsia species are carried as parasites by many insects, such as ticks, fleas, and lice, and are known to cause diseases, such as typhus and Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever. The vector species and transmission factors for N. risticii were unknown for a long time. Proximity to waterways (marsh areas and rivers) seemed to be involved, and biting insects were suspected. However, things have recently been discovered to be much more complex. It appears N. risticii infects an intermediate form of a trematode (fluke) parasite. The flukes are believed to be released into the water by freshwater snails and taken up by both immature and adult forms of caddisflies, mayflies, damselflies, dragonflies, and stoneflies. These are harmless, nonbiting insects found in large numbers around rivers and creeks at certain times of the year. They spend part of their life cycle in water - usually egg and larval stage, where they can become occupied by N. risticii. They then hatch and fly onto fields, where they can be accidentally consumed by horses and other grazing animals. Because of its dependence on the aquatic fly lifecycle, PHF is seasonal in nature. Cases usually begin to appear in late May of each year and end in October / November. The peak occurrence is in July, August, and September. Field veterinarians in California have observed that PHF can occur about seven days, after large hatches of gray moths (caddisflies) are seen on pasture. Several outbreaks of PHF have been noted to coincide with the emergence of burrowing mayflies - which usually hatch en masse, and may be found littering the ground and walls in nearby stables, where they are attracted by light. PHF is a relatively new disease in terms of recognition and identification. It had previously been considered to be regional in nature. It does tend to be found more commonly in some locations than others. While PHF was first identified in the areas around the Potomac River, northwest of Washington, D.C., cases have recently been confirmed in many other areas. Currently, it is found in more than forty US states, as well as in various parts of Canada and Europe.
Morab Perspective 2008-2009 Breeders‘ Guide Page 46
Symptoms and Clinical Signs: PHF causes severe gastrointestinal illness in infected horses (diarrhea and colic) and can lead to death in approximately 30% of the cases. Horses affected with PHF usually develop acute depression and fever (102-107ÂşF). After 24 - 48 hours, the horse can develop profuse, liquid diarrhea. Endotoxemia and edema may also be seen. Pregnant mares may abort. The diarrhea may be present for up to ten days but, in most cases, only lasts 1-5 days. However, not all horses have diarrhea, or it may only be intermittent. Some horses may display no symptoms other than a fever. Laminitis can often follow PHF, and generally occurs within three days of the start of diarrhea. Survival of PHF has improved to over 85% in recent years, due to better awareness of the disease among veterinarians and owners, with most deaths resulting from complications of laminitis and founder. Treatment: The majority of Rickettsia bacteria are susceptible to tetracycline antibiotics. PHF can be treated successfully with oxytetracycline, if given early in the course of the disease. A positive response is usually seen within 12 hours. Treatment for severe cases is aimed at minimizing the effects of endotoxemia and dehydration, as well as preventing laminitis, usually with intravenous fluids and electrolytes and NSAIDs such as Banamine. Prevention: A vaccine is available to help prevent PHF. However, while vaccination has been reported to protect 78% of experimentally infected animals, it has only been marginally protective in the field. The vaccine does not cover all infective strains of the bacterium. It was created from a single strain of N. risticii from a single horse; yet over fourteen different strains of N. risticii have since been isolated from naturally occurring cases. Horses fully vaccinated for PHF, including those who received twice-yearly boosters, have still developed PHF. Vaccine failure may also be due to a lack of antibody protection at the actual site of exposure (the mouth and GI tract), since the route of transmission is ingestion of the bacterium. In many cases, vaccination has been shown to simply reduce clinical signs, or lessen the severity of the disease, should the horse become infected, rather than provide complete protection. Some veterinarians feel the protection offered through natural exposure may be more useful than that provided by the vaccine. Nevertheless, it may still be recommended for horses residing in
or traveling to areas where PHF is known to be common. If used, the vaccine should be given before the first emergence of mayflies in the spring. Some veterinarians have made recommendations for farm management measures in an effort to try to prevent this disease. These are: Maintenance of riparian barriers along bodies of water. This may encourage aquatic insects to remain near their places of origin. Turn off outside lights around the barn to prevent insects from being attracted. Clean water buckets and feed areas frequently and keep food covered to reduce the potential for infected insects to be accidentally ingested by horses. Conclusion: At this time there is little that can be done to reduce or eliminate the existence of N. risticii and the danger it poses to horses. Vaccination is marginally effective and may help a horse not be so severely affected. Pasture and stable management procedures may help reduce the prevalence of the aquatic flies and their accidental ingestion.

LIFETIME ACHIEVEMENT AWARD PROGRAM Lifetime Achievement Award Program By Denise Schneider Jericho‘s Royal Serenade and owner, Marlene Hopp, were very busy this year. Not only did they do plenty of arena work, they did a lot of trail riding, as well. Many of these rides were for several hours on different types of terrain (including mountainous areas and desert conditions). Sera is certainly getting tons of experience, and from what we understand, has even been introduced to stadium jumping! Way to go Marlene and Sera! We expect to hear much more about this wonderful team! Once again, I would like to remind everyone that the LAAP program is not just for people who compete with their horses (be it in equitation, speed, endurance, jumping, etc.). It is also for those like Marlene, and Sera, who ride for recreation, or just plain for the fun of it. The LAAP, program not only acknowledges the active competitor, but the time that is spent with our horses in other activities, such as trail riding, riding lessons, and even round-pen work. We at IMBA love hearing from our members about their Morabs and what they do with them, no matter what activity that might be. So don‘t be shy. Let us hear from you!

Some Technical Guidelines for Morab Perspective Submissions Send photos in JPEG format, with a scan resolution of 300dpi. This is commercial quality, and keeps the file sizes manageable. Try to keep photo sizes down to 30 –70 KB, especially if you are sending lots of them. I have gotten some that were over 900 KB and my computer doesn‘t have enough memory to handle putting a bunch that size into a publication, and it is quite time consuming to open each photo and convert the file. If you are sending your document in Word, make sure you set the paragraphs to 1.0 spacing, otherwise they don‘t match all the others and I have to reformat (not a big deal unless I forget and have the whole MP done before I catch it. Then all the photos are in the wrong spots). Please type normally, and let the computer handle the end of the line formatting. When you hit enter at the end of a line it embeds a command and when I paste the document into the MP the formatting is very time consuming to re-do. We are using Arial 9 as our primary font for all documents.
Get things in on time! If you have a full page ad or something that you need to send by post office, let me know in an email that it is coming so I leave room for it.
When designing your ads, remember to keep a 1‖ border around it. This will prevent the ad from getting cut off by the binding. After your ad is done, please lock all the boxes and photos to each other. This will prevent them from becoming misaligned when I move it into the MP.
If you have any questions about how to send something, don‘t hesitate to email me at morabperspective@yahoo.com Those of you sending email submissions, not in Word, don‘t worry about the formatting, since it is a one step process for me to format and put into the MP. But don‘t hit enter at the end of the lines. Please put MP in the subject line, especially if you are new to me. I am quite leery of opening unidentifiable emails, especially those with attachments, and I would hate to delete your document by mistake. Be sure to specify black and white or color for your ads and get the payments in before printing
Pictures for Farm News are limited to three photos per farm or individual. No advertising in the Farm News. Especially do not put prices of your horses for sale, there are many other advertising options available.
